What MHK Has To Say

Using The Press for our venue for my 30th birthday was the best decision we could've made. The staff was incredibly helpful, the space was more than enough for the group we had, the lighting made the atmosphere exactly what I wanted it to be to celebrate with my friends. It was the best birthday I've ever had. I'm so grateful we have a place like The Press in MHK for celebrations like this. We will be renting out this space again!!

The Press isn’t just a place to catch a great show; it’s a vibrant hub where our community comes alive through music. Being a former press warehouse, the building itself offers a unique charm with its historic features and industrial vibe. Its welcoming atmosphere and top-notch sound quality make every event a memorable experience. Thanks to The Press, Manhattan has found its new favorite spot to celebrate and discover music in all its forms. We’re so lucky to have this gem in our city!
