"Block Party is massive beer garden in Highland Park that’s a perfect place to burn an entire Saturday day-drinking. From the outside, the place actually seems fairly small, but the party starts on the back patio, where there are long communal tables and cruise ship-sized shuffleboard for showdowns with your enemies. They also have an excellent craft beer list, boozy popsicles, and you can order-in outside food, too." - brant cox
"As a default, games bring people together. Add strong beer and some hot dogs, and you have a day party. Block Party in Highland Park is perfect for craft beer drinkers, but it’s that cruise ship-scale shuffleboard on the back patio that takes this Eastside spot to the next level. Everyone here is always having a good time, and you will be too. " - brant cox, nikko duren
"Block Party is the place to keep your Highland Park day drinking going, and not just because we don’t know anywhere else where the micheladas come with paletas. The patio is huge, and there’s a giant projector where you can challenge your friends to Wii Tennis and prove to them how cool you were in 2009." - brett keating
"Block Party is in the middle of all the action on Highland Park’s York Blvd., and while the front bar area is always a good time, you’re here for that massive back patio. There are long wooden tables ideal for any group, cruise-ship-sized shuffleboard courts, and tons of interesting house cocktails. There's no kitchen here, but you're allowed to order-in any outside food you want. " - Brant Cox
"Block Party has been around for several years now, and is best-known for being that place where you can dump a bunch of your friends on one patio and good things will unfold. The mostly outdoors spot in Highland Park has an excellent craft beer list, alcoholic slushies, and cruise ship-sized shuffleboard to get everybody talking. They don’t serve any food, but you can order-in any outside food you want." - brant cox
