The Press Room - Boston

The Press Room, Alamo Drafthouse Seaport’s separate, full-service bar, is much more than just a great place to grab a drink before or after a movie. Featuring craft cocktails, wine, and local beers on tap, The Press Room also displays a huge collection of original cinema newspaper advertising printing blocks from the 1930s to the 1980s. Guests are encouraged to take a self-guided tour in order to learn all about how newspapers were designed and printed and how movie advertising and graphic design evolved over the span of 50 years. The collection comes to life when the original 1940 Vandercook No. 4 proof press is inked up and skilled printmakers give guests a glimpse into a bygone era when you learned what movies were playing by opening the daily newspaper.
