Park Tavern

It’s a pretty neat place to try out. The food was pretty good, it’s very big inside & only one bathroom to get to, would be nice if they had more. They do have a separate area away from children, and an outdoor area that’s a heated which was nice. Would definitely go again if in the area. If you smoke you’re not supposed to, yet people did & left butts in the snow…maybe offer some ash trays so people don’t mistreat your fun establishment?

We had a blast on Saturday evening using my one hour free bowling that I won in the Instagram Holiday Giveaway! We also ordered dinner which was delicious- I had the buffalo mac and cheese and it was so yummy and the portion was huge, I was able to bring it home for another meal. Thanks for the fun time and great service!

Our Sever Ezra was horrible. I had to go find him twice. Appetizers came out 30 minutes later with the meal.. I absolutely hate that. It was 30 minutes between each time he came back to the table.. after I had to go find him. 2 hour meal for a burger. And a old hot turkey sandwich. I don't think it was turkey, I think is was 2 PC of dried out chicken. I think the gravy was sausage gravy. The whole meal was cold... ( as I'm sure the food sat a long time to come out ) We had to beg for more drinks... then go find him 30 minutes later to actually get the drinks. He was a nice guy but needs more training. I've never complained about the silverware but the fork was really cheap and hurt my hand as I used it. It had sharp edges. The music was painful to listen to.. omg what were they thinking to play 80s head bangers metal rock. Like we actually got a headache from the horrible music...

I've eaten there a couple times now early in the happy hour block of time. Got seated immediately, and a server arrived at the table very quickly. Order was delivered on both occasions very quickly, food was hot, tasty and completely enjoyable. Staff checked at the table several times to make sure everything was acceptable. Will definitely continue to go there. Happy hour prices make for a very affordable stop.

Had a great time at Park Tavern for my son’s 10th bday! Bowled, played arcade games, pulltabs (for dad) and great food. Nick took great care of us and so do the bowling staff. Thanks for making my son’s bday memorable!

Had my bday party here on 12/23. The communication was great leading up to the day of the event. The space was great and lots of room to move around. Originally I planned for 36 (5 lanes) 5pm-8pm but ended up with about 25-30, they got pretty busy and wanted to give my last lane to another group which was okay. I will say towards the end of my time the balls kept getting stuck and they kept telling us to throw another ball and it should help get the balls up. That didn’t work and they tried to fix it, but ultimately we had to stop bowling which they took $100 off my bill which was nice. The food was plenty and fairly good we did the taco buffet. I will say that towards the end some of my party complained that one of the guys (young guy) fixing the lanes was really rude and snarky to them which I did not appreciate because I paid about $1400 and expected better. Other than that I had a good experience the bartender was really dope, he had great service and so did the event planner. They had everything ready for me when I arrived. I would book again, but I will say beware there is a 20% mandatory gratuity for parties which added over $200 to my bill plus sales tax.

Lots of fun! This is a convenient location to bowl or hang out at the bar. This place is very large, as they have a bowling alley and then a separate bar with outdoor seating. The wait wasn’t too bad. We made late reservation on a Saturday and had to wait two hours. Luckily, you can call to reserve so we just arrived at our reservation time. The process was super simply. We got a lane and there were menus where we could order food and beverages. I don’t like how out dated everything is as there’s no QR code to order food and drinks, you have to go to the bar and order. At certain times the wait to order was 15-20 minutes which takes away from the game as you have to wait for the person to return. After you place your order, they do bring the food to your table. I ordered potato skins, pretzel sticks as well as a side salad. The food was pretty good. It’s just your standard bar food. I loved the atmosphere! They played music with the music videos on the screen. Most of the songs were throwbacks with a few new songs occasionally. I loved how it’s also 21 plus after a certain time. I would definitely return as everything was super affordable and a great experience. The only complaint is how outdated the place is. Also, the lane we had were experiencing issues due to consistent waxing on the lane which caused the bowling ball to skew also sometimes after one bowl, it skipped the person second turn and went to the next person. Lastly, the pins weren’t super accurate. If you knock down a pin, it sometimes wouldn’t count it or if you got a gutter ball it would still give you a point or two. Overall not big issues, mostly slight inconveniences.

Where do I begin, this place is AWESOME. I had my son's 21 birthday party here in one of the party rooms. The room itself was free and we ordered off their catering menu. We were all impressed with the quality of food. We had the cheeseburger sliders. Which were gone in 5 minutes. Very tasty. We also ordered the taco bar and they had every topping you can imagine, fresh guacamole and salsa. Out server Jenn was great. We had about 30 people and she was very attentive and gave us great customer service. Cheryl, who set up our reservation was so friendly and on top of everything. Even the bowling clerk was great!! If you are looking for a place to have a party or gathering, this is DEFINITELY the place.

Park Tavern is one of my favorite spots for get-togethers with friends -- it's just such an easy, fun place to celebrate anything. We were recently here for an engagement party, and it ended up being the perfect venue. The energy was great, and our server, Madison, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel effortless. Before the celebration, we grabbed dinner in the restaurant. I ordered the pesto pasta, which was almost good but just wasn't as flavorful as I hoped. Honestly, this was the first time I've had something here that I didn't completely enjoy, but every place has an off dish once in a while. Even with that, we still had a great experience overall. The service, the atmosphere, and the company made it a memorable night -- Park Tavern is still one of my go-to favorites for group outings and celebrations!

I normally have a good experience at Park Tavern, but I wanted to share some improvement suggestions, because the last experience was meh! 1. If you're going to be a Packers bar, pleaseeee prioritize having access to all games! 2. If you are going to be a sports bar in general, all of your employees should know how to work the TVs haha. This is a pet peeve I have with a lot more businesses than just PT haha. 3. I'm sure this is hard to fix, but the TVs are really hard to see from a couple of the tables in the back bar Other reviews! I had the pesto pasta which was really yummy! The chicken on it however was not great. The cesear salad was just okay too. The service was okay! You have to order at the bar if you're in the back bar as a heads up! Again I normally have a better experience so I plan on coming back, hopefully for a Packers game that's on :)

A classic spot in this neighborhood I LOVE the pizza here, they never mess up the order , it's always fresh and looks and tastes delicious so I don't mind paying extra $ Mostly do pickup orders which is easy process Also had breakfast here which is such a good deal! I can't comment on the bowling as I've never actually done that here before but I know it's always packed and busy Service has always been great

Park Tav has a little bit of something for almost everyone! From the bowling alleys, to the sit down restaurant, outdoor patio, or bar area, this is a great place to come for a chill night with friends or coworkers! It can get really busy & the bowling lanes can fill up pretty quick. But there is plenty of indoor space to hang out and kill time in if waiting for a lane which is super nice. I have yet to try any of their menu items besides their pizza for a work party. The pizza was solid but nothing outstanding! Overall a fun spot to check out.

Was at Park Tavern for a college football game-watch party. Service was very good and the private room was comfortable. Multiple servers made sure to stop in frequently to ensure everyone had what they needed. Orders came out quickly and correctly even though people were ordering in random patterns; a couple of drinks here, appetizers there, and food orders elsewhere. All were handled perfectly and with a smile. I had a very good Bloody Mary with a beer chaser. The mix was lively and it wasn't watered down with ice. I then had a very good Cubano sandwich and upgraded to the waffle fries with a side of seasoned sour cream. All are highly recommended. Later I decided to get a slice of Banana Pie. It didn't look like a typical Banana Pie and there wasn't much banana flavor, but it was still good. More like a triple layer French Silk Pie. Maybe they brought the wrong thing, but I still enjoyed it.

Park Tavern offers an immensity of options, which is where its main value lies. Its food is perfectly good, bar vibes are sufficient, bowling is adequate. I truly mean no distaste despite those adjectives being more neutral. It's awesome to have an all-in-one spot with great vibes. As well, its staff are always pleasant. Food: the food here is good. I've tried their prime rib and roasted chicken, both of which are flavorful and above average. I would say that their bar fare in general is above average, but the less "bar like" items are not as good (eg salads, etc). That being said, you won't be too disappointed here. Parking: easy peasy BUT the lot does fill up Th/F/Sa so you may need to street park nearby. Service: friendly and accommodating. Bowling: I would say this is an above average bowling alley by MPLS standards. Potentially though, for seasoned bowlers, this would be a let down from comparisons in Las Vegas, etc. If you're looking for something to do, Park Tavern is the place. Whether it's midday on a weekend for bowling, in search of a bar at night, or just wanting a meal, you can find it here. I recommend it for its "one-size-fits-all" range of activities and general vibes.

The place is a vibe for sure. The fried pickles are good but they leave like a weird waxy coating in your mouth. The chicken tenders were pretty good, the fries were nothing special. The service is about as good as can be expected with such a busy joint.

I used to love park tavern. Tonight changed my mind. Extremely disappointing experience. We spent over $400 on dinner and multiple pitchers of beer at the restaurant before heading to bowl. Bowling was $80 for one hour, which we understood -- but we were cut off halfway through the 10th frame when the time ran out. I politely asked if we could finish the frame we had already started, and the answer was no. To make it worse, one employee told us we could finish, while another immediately contradicted them and shut us down. The inconsistency and lack of basic customer service was frustrating. Not to mention that when I brought this to their attention they laughed in my face. Cutting guests off mid-frame -- especially after they've spent that much money -- feels cheap and poorly managed. One of the employees did offer vouchers for a free game of bowling which I did appreciate but the lack of courtesy to paying guests really turned me off. Won't be coming back, and wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a fair or enjoyable bowling experience.

I love this place and really like the vibe on their patio. I ordered the boneless wings and fries and really enjoyed the wings, and was surprised it only cost around $10! I hung out with my book club and enjoyed our conversation. I guess they have live music on week nights, which I could have gone without, but it wasn't too loud so we could still carry on with our conversation.

Great happy hour deals- highly recommend Chill / casual / bar ambiance Great for all ages

Park Tavern is a great place to watch the game or go bowling. PT is a local gem and also has restaurant seating and outdoor patio. Food and drinks are always solid. Recommend getting the Spinach and Artichoke Dip and Buffalo Chips for Happy Hour! For breakfast the Breakfast Pizza is always a go to. The Bootlegger is always a good choice for a drink, but the PTRB will forever be my favorite. It is a mix of 1919 Root Beer, Screwball Whiskey, and Bailey's. I would usually second guess this combination but it never disappoints! They did recently change their menu and took some of my favorite eats off but that gives me a chance to try something new.

Came here with my family of 5 on a late Sunday afternoon. It wasn't terribly busy and we didn't have to wait for a lane. Employees were super friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in their lot. I think I saw a patio too to eat and drink. We ordered some food and drinks from the bar that did not disappoint. There also appears to be a few bar-type games as well. Already thinking about when we can make it back. We had a great bowling experience!

Bowling was so fun! We came for Cosmic Bowling on a Saturday night and stayed until close at 12:15am. The lowdown on Cosmic Bowling for the uninitiated, since I had a hard time finding info on it online: From 9:30pm to close on Friday and Saturday nights, it's all-you-can-bowl for $22. It's 21+ and that $22 is inclusive of tax and a shoe rental, which is a steal! We took a pretty leisurely pace and had appetizers and such and were able to get in four games before close. Park Tavern itself closes at 1am, but the lanes shut down at 12:15, so be mindful of that! After 9:30, they turn all of the lights down so it's all neon-y disco lights (which makes sense name-wise for Cosmic Bowling). From what I understand, it can get BUSY--a reservation is basically a MUST unless you want to chance waiting around for them to give up a no-show reservation (not sure how long they hold reservations for but it seemed like walk-in folks started being able to bowl around 10-10:30ish?). We were able to call morning-of and make a same-day reservation no problem. The bowling itself was great--the only real thing of note is that they use string pinsetters here (as opposed to the mechanical kind that sweeps the fallen pins off), so occasionally if one pin got tapped slightly out of place, it would be counted as knocked down which caused some scoring discrepancies for us; we were just there for fun so it didn't really make a difference to us, but I could imagine that being important to people who were more serious. We got some onion rings ($11.95) and a basket of fries ($7.95)--both were pretty standard, nothing to write home about, but I did like the seasoned sour cream as a dip with both! Overall, really fun time and great deal on bowling for a casual night out with friends; they also do karaoke in their restaurant area on Saturday nights from 9-12:30, so we'll definitely be back to check that out too!

Just stopped in here recently with some friends after dinner for a few drinks & appetizers (snacks). Really enjoyed their outdoor patio seating area - nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors and have a few drinks. They had a decent selection of drinks, beers & wine. Our server (Abby) was awesome! She alone will be why we do a return visit. Cannot comment on the food as we really just had some appetizers with the drinks, so not a fair sampling.

A another great night at the local bar, Park Tavern. We sat in the dining room tonight near the bar, but have also sat outside, in the bar portion and have played bowling before. This local gem is packed on the weekends and despite having a large parking lot, it is often tricky to find a spot to park! We ordered some apps to share- the Nashville hot sliders and the waffle fries with seasoned sour cream and a few drinks! I'm a big fan of carbliss drinks and was excited to see they had them on the menu. Service was decent, with a bit longer waits due to peak dinner rush on a Friday night. Will be back

One of our go-tos locally. Food is great for bar food and good happy hour specials. Can get busy and service can be suspect as a result (especially outside) but this is a great spot.

One of my favorite spots when I want to feel like I live in a small town where everybody knows my name. No, they don't know my name, it just feels like they do. The burgers here always hit and the fried pickle coins are the best I've found. The menus and brand have recently been redone which is fantastic - still gives a retro vibe and doesn't lose its charm, but just a little polish. Come on Tuesdays for bingo (they have daubers for you) and try the Beach Bum beer combo. It's the one I ALWAYS get when I come here. Great for a low key date night and a friend meet up. I have bowled here once for a holiday party but for some reason we just don't bowl often. It's a fun option! Anyway. See ya at Park Tavern, I'll send you a Beach Bum if I see you.

Decided to have a small work team gathering here for the holidays. The lanes are nice, lots of community bowling balls to use and a full menu at the bar. The server was great at explaining the mixed drinks too and letting us know that they could make more if there was a request. It on the menu. The layout of tables at the lanes did make walking around difficult since they were awkwardly staggered. After bowling we decided to go have a full meal in the more dining room area. I loved all the options and was not disappointed by the way the food tasted. Our server was great at answering any questions too. We would all go back for another event.

2 words: HAPPY HOUR! Gather up your friends (work friends, too) and check out the patio! Not just your neighborhood bowling alley: Live Music on the Patio, Trivia, Bingo, bar games, darts, pool (as in table, not swim). Great pub grub here-including specials at happy hour (be sure to check out the sliders!). Great background music here on the patio while talking to my friends. Great service from our pregnant server today-thank you!

Went here for lunch with coworkers and loved the vibe! I had the Juicy Lucia which was amazing. My favorite kind of burger. I also tried all my coworkers fries (regular, waffle, sweet potato) and all were delicious. A great "hometown" bar.

I love Park Tavern! Not only is it an awesome venue where you can bowl, play darks, and hangout on the patio - but the food is quality too. They might just have my favorite chicken quesadilla! All the apps are good though - as I have split the nachos many times with my friends. The burgers are fun too - I'm dying to try the Hot as Heck Burger. They also have maybe the most interesting assortment of ways to eat fries/potatoes ranging from traditional/waffle fries to tots, sweet potato, truffle, and "animal" or "hot mess" fries. I haven't tried them all but man do they sound good! With a menu like Park Tav's everyone in your party will find something they like!

Old school bowling alley that is a lot of fun for bowling and eating/drinking at. They have an impressive tap list for brews and even top shelf liquor. The pizza is probably our favorite. Dessert is mediocre. You order from the lanes or at the counter and can eat at the lanes.

There is so many things to do here with kids! We come here on Tuesdays bowling and bingo! The bowling alley is really clean and updated. The staff is very friendly as well. They have a game area for anyone that wants to play video games. Also in the cafe they have bingo! The food they serve in the cafe is VERY filling. The staff in the cafe are also really nice and attentive. You can also play bingo in the cafe while you are eating. I love this place and highly recommend it.

Great: Servers, drinks, cosmic bowling Good: Food Complaints: None, other than that it is usually packed.... which is usually a sign that a restaurant is doing something right :) Cosmic bowling was especially fun on a Saturday night with my buddies. The music they were playing was similar to college club music so it was a blast for my buddies and I who are in our mid-20's. I haven't actually tried the food yet but my friends have said that it is mostly good although I was told the fried pickles were a major dud. Although I see another review that says the fried pickles are the best in the area so I guess it is all about your preference haha. From what I heard, they were 95% pickle, 5% batter. Parking lot is pretty big but still will get completely full on busy night! I've had to park across the street at the Park and then walk over before. I have came here for bowling, Timberwolves playoff games, and just regular weekly happy hours and have been satisfied every time!

The first time I went here it was for a friend of a friend's birthday party and it was before COVID-19 The place was busy and lively. For dinner, I had a cheeseburger with tator tots. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though we didn't get to bowl. During COVID-19 we went to bowl. We had to reserve the lanes ahead of time and they were very strict about keeping lanes on either side empty to maintain social distancing. For snacks we chose to share the Jerk wings were ok. The cheese curds were decent and the Brussels sprouts. I realized too late that bacon bits were all over the sauce.

Fun large bar with several separate dining/hanging spaces - bowling, pool/darts, etc. Good selection of craft beers on tap. We came for a small group of birthday billiards and brews. The table was missing an 8-ball, and staff said they would "fix it" but didn't circle back during the 1.5 hours we were there. We still had a fine time playing nineball. The chicken fingers were tasty but came without napkins (and there weren't napkin dispensers on any tables or walls in the back barroom). The hand sani dispensers weren't all refilled (specifically the one by the pool table was empty) but there was a bottle floating around the dartboards.

Great patio in the summer and the winter! Good beer selection, and good food. We often like going here it would be can sit on the patio and there's live music. Sometimes hard to get a table, but the weight usually goes pretty quick.

I used to eat dinner with my girlfriend in the early 90`s. I recall the food being quite good. We usually went there for a quick dinner, and was aleays consistant & good. I forget what we ordered, but it was one of our favorites, as she lived very close. Fonf memories for sure.

During My Birthday Celebration 2024 The Atmosphere And Engery was Amazing We felt Comfortable It was Enjoyable No Judgment Friendly & Respectful Staffs Last minute accommodations. Highly Recommended.

Very fun spot to hang out. Bowling on the weekend is always fun, and the food and drinks are cheap. The "not your mommas grilled cheese" is mid so I don't recommend that but still this spot is five stars!

We have work meetings here once a month. I've always had great food and service. A lot of really nice employees as well.

This place never fails to amaze our family. My dad enjoyed going here so we have a tradition to go here & honor him. All the grandkids & great grandkids bowl & we eat. Staff wonderful, patient & helpful. Food was very tasty pepperoni pizza, chicken oriental salad, chicken tenders & fries, bavarian pretzel, kids steak with fries, chicken wings (I always forget to take pictures). Live music on the patio. This is a great place to bring the family. Thanks to the whole staffing crew that worked 9/29/22.

Strings on pins? What. How many times have you ever seen someone decent bowl here? This place used to be alright. Good pizza though. If you want your score to cut in half, come here.

QUITE the patio in the summer months! I've always thought of this place as a bowling alley, but wow is it much more! I recently met a group of friends on this SPACIOUS patio for live outdoor music. I was super impressed at the attentive service, myriad of food and drink options, and number of tables! I am for sure moving this place to the top of my "summer happy hour" list!

Slow service but friendly people. Good food though. I tried their taco salad and loved it. I haven't tried the bowling yet.

Worked with Park Tavern for a recent birthday party event and they were awesome. The bartender service was great, the food fantastic and the service was very personal and professional. I would highly recommend Park Tavern for any special event.

Fun place! There is plenty to do here all year round. Bowling lanes get full pretty fast, but you can usually get in if you put yourself on a waitlist. Food and drinks are similar to a normal bar and the service is pretty fast. Love the outside patio in the summer, great for big groups! Overall it's a great spot for a fun night out to hangout with friends! I've never had a bad experience.

COVID REVIEW! The family meals are a mega bargain. And BOGO Burgers on Thursdays?? PT is hitting it out of the park during Stay At Home times. We had the chicken alfredo meal, and I think it was at least 7 servings of food. They also have a great alcohol to go selection, but if you do alcohol you have to get out of your car and go inside. (all things subject to change, I'll try to update if needed) I'm a huge fan of Park Tavern, all of the time. So many baskets of tots, so many cheese pizzas. We love their summer bowling pass.

I picked up these delicious Wings from @parktavernslp this past weekend. The wings were juicy and flavorful! Known as a landmark for Bowling & Entertainment in the St. Louis Park Community, they have a great selection of food for everyone during their visit! * Jamaican Jerk Wings

The pizzas are great! We just had the Margarita pizza and devoured the whole thing. Great atmosphere--we love it here!

Brought my family there on a deal for one hour of bowling. The time was going to expire after 55 minutes (must of started time before giving us our shoes) and I went to the desk to ask for the five minutes we were shorted. The guy at the counter arg with me and said we received one hour. It was a weekday afternoon and only two lanes were in use. We were unable to finish our game because the guy wouldn't give us the five minutes we were shorted. Horrible customer service! I had frequented The Park TaVern in the past, but will never again.

Great place to go to eat, bowl, host an events and more. They are a huge supporter of the community and really give back. They have fun bowling and lots of different spaces you can use for events. The food is always good. I have had almost everything on the menu. It's American style bar food served in good portions. The staff is super nice and helps with anything you need from food additions to needs for events. Free onsite parking and easy access from bus lines.

Messed up my order. And the wings kinda sucked. The dry rub was soggy. Served with no napkins.

Best nachos I have had in MN, perfectly layered & distributed. Great service everytime we go

I love it here. Park tav is the spot for lunch, birthday dinner, football game days, bowling, drinking, brunch, you name it. The versatility it offers with the dining area, bowling area, back bar, and patio is unmatched. The crispy chicken sandwich and the Not Yo Mamas Grilled Cheese Sandwich are what keep me coming back though.

Ordered the aloha 12" pizza, Thai chili, b&b and buffalo wings. All was delicious. I recommend the wings, they were so tasty and well prepared. Went to pick up our order and the place was packed. Looks like a popular spot to hang out too!

This is one of the best bowling joints for the suburban MN in St Louis Park and so close to our home in Hopkins. We have been there as a couple, couple of times and I had been to this place last year, to watch the super bowl finals. They have a very organized parking place and you will get a spot for most of the time. We had one of our friends' birthday yesterday and we brought a group of 12 along with us all the way from Woodbury to here just for bowling. The Park Tavern people were very accommodative right from the start while we made our phone reservations. We had initially requested for a 6 PM and then changed to 7 and then at 6.45, changed it to 7.30 and they didn't lose a spec of their patience in the process. One of our cars couldn't find a parking that we had to drive nearby to park near Reddy Rents. While we tried to check in, the bearded gentleman at the front-desk had the calmness and patience of a sage, putting up with our questions and waiting for us while we bought the Groupon coupons(1 hour 6 people with one large 4 topping pizza for $35). He was also nice to proactively advise us not to buy 4 coupons as they wouldn't stack the additional 2 for the extra one hour. We got our shoes and we hit the bowling lanes straight away. I rate this place one star less as the pizzas seemed to be more of a give away and not something that had a lot of effort put into it and the music level was loud if not too loud. With the bowling experience, mo complaints at all!

Server Madison P. I want you to know that your friendly and welcoming spirit during these Covid times was so refreshing and needed yesterday. You did ask my husband and I where we wanted to sit and you did help us find a booth that we could view the Masters from...Thank you. You also know and how to articulate the menu and the ingredients to your customers. Very impressive. You guided us to make some good food choices that fit us perfectly. We enjoyed the War Pigs beer, chili seasoned wings and Amsterdam burger. Keep up the good work Madison and Park Tavern.

We reserved the Atrium room for our boys birthday party and it was great. The food and drinks were really good. I definitely recommend Park Tavern and we will definitely be back. Special shout out to Cheryl who helped me with the planning and our server Angie who was great.
