Park Tavern

"The view isn’t the only thing that’s sprawling about this space overlooking Piedmont Park. With 50 outdoor tables on this covered, heated patio, there’s plenty of room to keep your pup safely within your party. Turf underfoot keeps them comfy, too, as you take your time over chicken sandwiches, tacos, and steakburgers." - Su-Jit Lin

"Watching people stumble on Park Tavern’s ice rink is almost as much a tradition as sipping eggnog. If you’re not in the mood for tumbling on your tush, you can still celebrate the season with park-side dining and themed cocktails. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Park Tavern has been the scene of many a first date in Atlanta. The restaurant and events venue offers some of the most impressive views of the Midtown skyline and Piedmont Park’s sprawling meadow from its patio. It’s also a popular spot to host weddings and the receptions that follow, with plenty of room for dancing, live bands, cocktail hours, and dining inside or outside overlooking the park." - Beth McKibben

"Park Tavern on the edge of Piedmont Park offers one of Atlanta’s most impressive views of the Midtown skyline and the occasional local musical act on its stage. This includes Atlanta’s favorite soft rock band, Yacht Rock Revue." - Beth McKibben

"Watching people stumble on Park Tavern’s ice rink is almost as much a tradition as sipping eggnog. This year, though, the Piedmont Park restaurant is offering skating lessons from Fireworks Skating Academy for those who are a lil’ wobbly on the blades. If you’re not in the mood for tumbling on your tush, you can still celebrate the season (Nov. 27-Jan. 16) with park-side dining (lobster-crab dip, spicy chicken eggrolls, etc.), themed cocktails, and picture-perfect igloos." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
