Best In OKCSyncing the Vibe...
Plaza District restaurant serving Southwestern comfort food in a restored former newspaper press building on N Gatewood Avenue, with brunch, cocktails, and classic Oklahoma City favorites.
The Press sits at 1610 N Gatewood Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73106, in a restored former newspaper press building on North Gatewood Avenue in the Plaza District. The restaurant serves Southwestern comfort food with an Oklahoma City point of view — brunch plates, chicken fried ribeye, chilaquiles, shrimp and grits, and cocktails in a dining room that still carries the character of the old press hall.
Why The Press Stands Out
The building is part of the draw. You are eating inside a piece of Oklahoma City history, not a generic strip-mall dining room. The menu reworks regional favorites through a southwestern lens — comfort food that feels familiar to locals but more interesting than a standard diner lineup.
Brunch is a major reason people plan a visit. Weekend mornings bring chilaquiles, breakfast hash, fry bread tacos, and plates built for a slow Plaza District morning. Dinner and the bar hold their own with salads, sandwiches, and cocktails when you want a full sit-down night in the district.
