Park Tavern Brewery

February 9, 2008
Part of a large park, outdoor tables offer a good relaxing place to have a beer or something to eat when the weather is suitable. Parking is plentiful as it is also for the park. It is important to know to enter downstairs as it was lcoked upstairs. There is a moderate sized bar and some tables inside. Their own taps plus 3 regular macros. The beer was so-so though the unfiltered seasonals, an IPA and a porter, were worth having. Brian is a younger brewmaster, and with a cask and experience, the place will pick up beer-wise.

Problem with service several years ago, but location and atmosphere bring you back. Newer service in the most recent 2 years and recently revamped menu addressed this. Food is great overall, but a few hit-or-miss items that will hopefully be fixed or removed. The food competes with many other Buckhead / Midtown restaurants. Beer isn’t eccentric / strange, but well-crafted and extremely true to style. Could use more selection of seasonal brews or rotating beer menu for the regular clientelle (3 Flagship brews with 5 seasonals on rotation throughout the year). Great view of the park, and great atmosphere during Spring / Summer, however: So many special events / wedding receptions / parties during slower seasons that it’s hard to ’drop in.’ Definitely call ahead or check the website and make sure they’re open to the public.

I absolutely love this place. It is great to hang out in the summer time and bring your dog and hangout in the park while drinking a beer and watching people. Even in the winter time to sip a winter beer and sit around the fire piut while enjoying a nice dinner. This a classy place with a great view of the city at sunset.

For a big city "brewpub" you cannot beat the view overlooking Piedmont Park and Midtown Atlanta - if you like cityscapes. The beer needs some work, but it is serviceable. Food is decent. Set in what appears to be an old country or social club - there is plenty of room for socializing. Had a tuna steak for dinner - not bad. Not worth going out of your way for - but if you are in Atlanta for a spell, give it a shot.

June 2001: I recall this as an out-of-the-way place with a weird atmopshere and had an "off" selection.

Visited this place during the Atlanta Pub Crawl 2005. Beautiful place with forgettable beers and so so service. I ordered a sampler at the bar and they told me I would have to order from my server at the table. The server left my sampler at the table while I was looking the place over and nevr returned to identify what the samples were. I hear the food is good though.
