The Press Gang Restaurant & Oyster Bar

Venue review

The musician's read

The Press Gang Restaurant & Oyster Bar is a historic downtown dining room with live local musicians on weekend evenings. Jazz, piano, trio arrangements and polished pop material fit the elegant setting. Small ensembles that can create a sophisticated mood without competing with dinner service should get the most from the room.
