I was very pleased with the service and attention that my company and group of people got. It was professional and they went out of their way to help us. We had a larger group of people that were disabled and they took care of us very well while being sensitive to the group that was in attendance. I would definitely recommend this venue to use and we plan on using them for all our bowling events in the following year. Thank you from AME Community Service for bringing a little extra joy to these people this holiday season. Merry Christmas! Matt - Health and Wellness Program Coordinator AME Community Services

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.

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.

They no longer have pool tables! :-( Park Tavern is fine for kids birthday party (although turtles and most Bowlero locations are better). Park Tavern is also okay for the Vikings games but that's about it. Since they no longer have pool tables the people I go out with have no desire to go back there and neither do I.

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.

Park Tavern is a fun local spot for food, drinks, games, and more. They have some yard games, bowling, arcade games, a bar, and a restaurant.FOOD: The food here is good. They have a very expansive menu, and so far items were good. I wouldn't say the food is anything exceptional, but for a place with such an expansive menu I'm still impressed.SERVICE: good and friendly. No complaints here. Especially for such a big place.AMBIANCE: This is a fun place with many different ambiances-- an arcade/bowling area, outdoor seating area, an indoor bar, and indoor seating. All of which have their own feel.PARKING: it's a large lot but it does fill up. Thankfully there's lots of parking in the nearby neighborhood.Unfortunately I don't have pictures yet (because I was too embarrassed to take photos of food in front of others but I'll be back soon and will update my review.

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!

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.

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!

Best nachos I have had in MN, perfectly layered & distributed. Great service everytime we go
A perfect place to watch a vikings game! Typical bar food - good enough, nothing fancy - and the wait stuff was very friendly.

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 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.

I'm not much of a "leave a review" type person but today is the day that I change. I've lived in Saint Louis Park for my whole 22 years of living. I grew up going to Park Tavern after little league games or bowling parties. It's been a couple of years since I've been so I thought I would try it out. I noticed they added a patio area and at first I thought it was fantastic. Beer, sports, and summer weather. What more could you want? My girlfriend and I decided to check it out. It's got a young, energetic atmosphere which I liked considering my age. We waited 20 minutes for our waitress to greet us. We put in an order for some beers and fried pickles. Another 20 minutes later we finally got the beer we ordered. Mine was completely wrong. To give you some context, I just like Coors Light. Plain and simple. Somehow, I got a sour beer that wasn't even close to the color of a Coors Light. I understand that mistakes happen so I wasn't bothered too much by it. However, another 20 minutes go by and we got our fried pickles. Half of them were breaded pickles and the other half were hockey puck pickles. We finished our breaded hockey pucks and waited another 20 minutes before our young waitress noticed that we were twiddling our thumbs. Not to mention that in between this fiasco we were given a different table's food twice! We put in our order for our entree and it was okay. This time we waited for about 40 minutes. At this point we expected it and just shrugged our shoulders. After we finished, we of course waited another 20 minutes for the check. Today, I wanted to give this place another shot. Originally, I was going to go to one of my usuals, either Bunny's or Pizza Luce. I get to Park Tavern and was met with immediate service on the patio which definitely raised my hopes. Word of advice, never get your hopes up at this place. I was not met by our waitress, Laurie, until...wait for it...20 minutes of me sitting down. I was told I was to give up this table at 4pm for another reservation. It was 2:45pm which I was okay with. I was only there to have a beer or two and an appetizer. I ordered my beer and waited for my girlfriend to arrive. She arrived at 3pm and I still didn't have my beer. I finally received my beer but Laurie didn't even acknowledge my girlfriend. I asked around the other tables next to us if they had this slow of service too. I was met with an overwhelming amount of "we haven't seen her in 30 minutes," type answers. The couple next to us left before they were even waited on. When our waitress came back, she asked if I wanted another beer and once again, didn't acknowledge my girlfriend. I asked for our check instead. We waited for 15 or so minutes before paying and leaving. Very very disappointed in this place and it honestly makes me sad knowing that this place used to be where a lot of happy memories were made. Safe to say that Bunny's and Pizza Luce will still be my go to places for a quick drink and bite to eat. And as I sit here and hour later from being at Park Tavern, the only thing that I can take away that was positive from all this is that my dog still loves me as he waited for me longer than he should have at home. He sits next to me on my OWN patio having a beer with my girlfriend.

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!
