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.

    From first glance I was a bit worried because of the location. But once you walk in it’s a whole different atmosphere. From the bar to the seating throughout the restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was excellent as well. 10/10 would eat here again!

    Umi delivers an outstanding sushi dining experience, combining top-tier service, a stylish ambiance, and high-quality cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the sleek yet inviting decor sets the tone for an elegant meal. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance—sophisticated but not pretentious, making it ideal for both special occasions and casual nights out. The service at Umi is impeccable. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring a smooth, enjoyable dining experience. From the moment we were seated, everything felt seamless, from drink refills to perfectly timed dish arrivals. As for the food, every bite reflected freshness and precision. The sushi was expertly crafted, with high-quality fish that practically melted in your mouth. Signature rolls offered a creative twist without overpowering the delicate flavors of the ingredients. The hot dishes were equally impressive, with standout items like the miso-glazed black cod and tempura that was light and crisp. Pricing is on par with similar high-end sushi spots, making it a great value given the quality of food and overall experience. Umi proves that you don’t have to compromise when it comes to great sushi, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. Highly recommended!

    We had not been to Lure in some time and so it was wonderful to come back to great food, great ambiance, and fantastic service. We celebrated our 44th Valentine's Day date and it couldn't have been a better choice.

    The food was spectacular. Pasta side with swordfish and a sea bass main. Bottle of wine, a half dozen oysters and a salad were all the fixings. Service was great, very attentive. Great ambiance and really high ceilings add to the atmosphere. Definitely will do this again!
