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.

I was pleasantly surprised at Sweet Auburn's ambience. It has a very cozy vibe. The surprise Freak Me Bae Bae cocktail was delicious. Although the main courses were excellent, I highly recommend the pimento cheese wontons & brisket egg rolls. They are delicious*

Best espresso martini I’ve had. Make sure you get the focaccia to share, it’s delish. And the homemade lasagna was 10/10. Would definitely be back!

We were intrigued by the Valentine's Day dinner, we eat lunch and brunch there all the time. It was fantastic! The Lobster Risotto and the Beef Short Rib Pasta were delicious. The light jazz musicians - perfect! We'll be back
