    I booked one of parklife’s solariums for a birthday party and it was the perfect spot- warm enough, even on a very cold December night, and a private comfortable space with good service. Uniquely good for large groups!

    Parklife is such a special space - from continually decent beer menu and delicious tacos to hosting trivia, movie nights and community events to its amazing and attentive staff, Parklife has become a staple spot for gathering with friends throughout the year (thanks in large part to its cultivated variety of indoor and outdoor spaces!) This time was no different, and being able to reserve a table with solid visual of the screen for its Outdoor Cinema night in the cozy but still spacious outdoor area was super clutch and made my experience that much better.

    Love parklife! Food was great and the drinks were strong. Just wish there were more indoor seating options as the table we had was insanely small so we could barely fit our food and drinks on it at the same time.

    Thank you so much for hosting us for my birthday!!! It was EXACTLY what I wanted—a private space for my friends and I that didn’t break the bank, yet still had delicious food and drinks. I reserved one of the solariums and it was so cozy and warm for my party! I will recommend this place to everyone!
