by Letty B. on Oh. Man. First things first. The decor hit my visual sweet spot. Super cool classy steampunk feel. Dark without impairing vision, lots of seating available. Silent films are played on the expansive walls. Staff is attractive. My only gripe is that maybe the bathroom was TOO dark. Hi, I'd like to put my lipstick on but I can't seem to find my face. Is this a mirror? I can't tell. Luckily I showed up fairly early on Friday and found a decent post at one of the little bar areas. Drinks were good. Thank you Rick for fixing me up and getting me nice and toasty by the time I left and for generally being a doll. I need to come back here to sample their nightlife in its entirety.
by Forrest Wendling on I went here on a Saturday night with a group of friends for a birthday. The place is pretty big. When you walk in, you're met by the bar on the left and some leather couches and seating on the right. If you head around the bar into another area, there's a huge seating area with tables for dinner. Didn't eat, so can't rate the food or service. The decor is very appealing, with a huge wall made of rock, paper lanterns hanging from the high ceilings, and indoor trees lit up with white lights. The lighting is just right for a sexy vibe. The hike up to the second floor in 4-inch heels isn't very lady friendly, but it's worth it. Up there you'll find a second bar (maybe a third if I remember correctly), music pumping, and bodies moving. It's an indoor/outdoor area on the second floor with open glass doors that allow for easy exit & entry. On the rooftop you CAN smoke ciggs (at least when I was there). The atmosphere was great because I was able to enjoy the view, listen to music, dance, and lounge on the comfy couches & ottomans they had outside. However, it was kinda crowded, so it was tough to find seating after my feet started killing me. But you can go back downstairs to rest your feet and hang out at one of the many tables that are unoccupied. People around me were still ordering snacks (i.e. fries) late night, but if I do remember correctly, they were kind of pricey. I can't comment on the drinks too much because I only had bottled beer and a few patron shots all night. Typical prices. The restrooms are also downstairs which kinda sucks. Going up and down, up and down all night, drunk in 4-inch heels is not my favorite thing to do, but if you're with the right girlfriends who've got your back, it's worth it. Been to The Park twice and I would go back in the future. Wouldn't be my first choice, but if some friends wanted to go, I wouldn't object.
