Initally built in 1919 to house the printing division of the Fresno Morning Republican newspaper. In 1982 the printery was converted into a private dining facility known as The Downtown Club. In the dining hall you will still find a major nineteenth-century newspaper press along with much of the original structure, furniture and fixtures.

Where is the Downtown Club located?

The Downtown Club was originally located on the top floor of the T.W. Patterson Building , before moving to the renovated Fresno Republican Printery Building in 1982, where it remains a vital part of the Valley's business and political scene. Menu selections feature the freshest Valley produce and are varied weekly to reflect the changing seasons.
