Park Tavern Neighborhood Bar & Brewery is located in the heart of midtown on the corner of 10th St. & Monroe overlooking Piedmont Park and the midtown skyline. Park Tavern rejuvenated its restaurant and menu for the 2019 summer season. Our building was originally built in 1905 as horse stables for local racing enthusiasts and then transformed into a golf clubhouse in 1928. Although expanded and renovated over the years, the building still features some of the original woodwork and stone from the historic clubhouse. Today Park Tavern combines the historic charm of the site with the modern sophistication of Atlanta’s impressive skyline. The restaurant features handcrafted beers brewed on-site as well as spectacular patio dining overlooking the park and city. The menu features classic favorites such as burgers, salads, and sandwiches.CURRENTLY WE ARE FAST CASUAL WITH NO TABLE SERVICE.

    A beautiful restaurant in the Atlanta Botanical garden! I had the 4 cheese flatbread and my husband had the beet salad, and both were excellent! We were seated promptly and our waiter was very attentive. We try to eat at the Longleaf whenever we come to the garden. Make sure to make a reservation, though. It can fill up fast, and somtimes it is closed for special events.

    Dinner before a show at the Fox.....server, Deborah, was fantastic....attentive: checked on us several times to be certain we were satisfird. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly, served with oven gold potatoes with plenty of jus for extra flavor. Trout was uneven....two filets: first was perfect according to my wife, second was "off-flavor"; she skipped it. Wedge salad was perfect match for the steak; beet salad was mostly arugula with a few wedges of beet.... chocolate cake dessert was delightful and large enough to share. All in all, we will return for the steak, not so much the trout.
