Worst steak I've ever eaten

by gatzby

Visited the Park Tavern after hearing much about it. As one of my favorite beers, Arrogant B@st@rd (Sigh, filtering.), is on tap there, it looked to be a pleasant trip. Unfortunately, the beers were skunky, flat, and more or less undrinkable.

For the meal, I tried the special: a New York Steak Sandwich, cooked medium. What I got: the worst, most bland, rubbery, overcooked steak placed on a flavorless bun. Someone in need of a steak sandwich would be far better served by going to the grocery store and buying frozen Steak'ums.

Atmosphere is that of a typical bar, if a bit aged feeling. The environment is on the loud side and continues to get more so as the night wears on. The staff is fairly friendly and chatty.

Would not go back, nor recommend.

• Pros: Cheap drinks, decent beer selection
• Cons: Terrible food, skunky beer, loud

What more could you want?!?

by fruitopia22

Here's the deal: It's practically always happy hour at this place, meaning 2-for-1 drinks pretty much anytime you're there. If it's not happy hour, it's probably $2-U-Call-Its (Tuesday nights), or DOLLAR drinks (Saturday nights). And even if none of things happen to be going on while you're there, the drinks are still cheaper than most places anyway. Plus, there's bingo on Monday nights and trivia on Wednesday nights, poker on Sundays, tons of TV's if you want to watch a sports game, and there are pool and foosball tables.

So if the cheap drinks and tons of entertaining activities aren't enough to convince you that the Park Tavern is awesome, try the food!! Seriously, the pizza is surprisingly good (and cheap)!! The Greek salad is another one of my favs, along with the buffalo chicken sandwich. The burgers are tasty as well, and my biggest complaint is that mine might not have been cooked exactly to temperature (I asked for medium, and it was more along the medium-well side).

Although there can sometimes be white-trashy type people there, there are also the awesome, down-to-earth people there too! I definitely agree with what has been said about there not being yuppies, just a good mix of different, genuine people! Including the staff!! So you tell me, what more could you want?!?

• Pros: Cheap drinks, AWESOME food, and laid-back atmosphere
• Cons: The building isn't necessarily the prettiest, and they do last-call early

cheap drinks, cheap service

by annaj1975

The drinks are dirt cheap, they have a patio in the summer, but that is where the charm of this dirty dive bar comes to an end. The servers are rude, the drinks are nearly undrinkable.

• Pros: VERY cheap
• Cons: service, drinks, cleanliness.

"Great Dive Bar"??? Are you serious???

by zekeyweke

I can't BELIEVE this bar has such a high rating. Yes, the drinks are cheap, but you get what you pay for. I'm not a fan of some of the super trendy and pretentious Lodo or Highlands bars, but this place is ugly, dirty, and completely without charm. And the people who go there seem to be primarily stupid white trash who only care about how completely wasted they can get.

Great specials, great dive bar

by mbradensig

This place has great drink specials. It also has a relatively down to earth environment compared to other bars. The staff is always laid-back and friendly. Overall, this is a great dive bar.

• Pros: drink specials, mellow, decent music on juke box
• Cons: Not too many attractive women. Of course, what dive bar has hot girls?

Funny this place has a following

by barstool

Yeah like I want to hangout a frat party. It was like I was back at the dorm, drunks reeling all over the place and some young girl who looked like she just got out of cheerleading practice ralphed all over. Great place if you didn't get enough of b -rated keg partys

• Pros: ????????????????
• Cons: drunks drunks drunks

Early morning happy hour for shift workers

by mr_kristi

Doors open at 8am and for all the shift workers, a great time to unwind with a 2-for-1 drink special. Great breakfast menu, burgers are okay. Service is lacking a little but the prices make up for it.

Three happy hour discounts a day makes this a drinker's paradise.

In Short
The decor is stripped down to create a denlike feel. Sports teams and beer company logos flicker in unison with the big screen and other hanging TVs. The bar is known for its three daily happy hours, during which you get a token good for a refill when you buy a drink. Tokens can then be use during regular times or happy hours. The house serves basic pub grub.

Shhhh!

by shoklarok

This is a favorite local haunt for the fun-loving CapHill crowd and the beer tokens make me feel like I'm at Chucky Cheese's (without the kids, clean air, and prizes). Food and service is spotty, but the servers are a riot, so don't get all uptight yuppie, go to uptown for that. The servers here will actually, more often than not, make you feel at home. Great patio during the day and warm evenings, and I can't remember ever seeing a fight. Loud, smokey and unpretentious, The Park is my personal fav for a beer or nine!

• Pros: Servers, Atmosphere, 3 Happy Hours!
• Cons: Can Get Crowded
