Stopped in for a drink for the first time. I'm struck by the spacious patio, I like the branding for the Chicago Parks. It was happy hour when I walked in. Got a Sazerac and a Negroni they were both made well. Originally wanted a Last Word but they were out of Chartreuse which is becoming common these days with so many people making cocktails at home and monks production level not keeping up. I would certainly recommend checking it out for the happy hour deal.

Central Park Bar is a perfect spot for a chill patio beer with your friends! They have a nice spot outside with open seating and a swing and some games too - it was a very chill and cosy atmosphere. We got the pickle beers here and gosh they are definitely an acquired but fun taste! Quick service and overall well packed with people so this is definitely a bar I'd love to come back to!

This is a personal favorite place for my dog and I being in the neighborhood! We have been here countless times and the drinks never dissapoint! My favorite bartenders are the long haired man and the short blonde haired woman! I need to figure out their names lol! The bartender with the curly long hair has given me and my friend a lot of attitude but the place is such a vibe and is by far the best happy hour in chicago! The music is rock and roll and there's a Photo Booth! But like I said dog friendly until 8:00PM makes a great bar in my opinion!! The lush is a personal favorite !

Always a good time at this bar. Really nice patio area which become enclosed in the winter. Very dog friendly bar (inside & out). Staff are nice here and not pretentious that you sometimes get at Chicago bars. This watering hole has good assortment of liquor options. Happy Hour is from 4 to 7pm and offers 50% drinks. Really no limits on the 50% off. They have some top shelf limitations. I ordered margaritas both times that I have been here and they were yummy. Husband had the old fashion and he enjoyed his drink.

Went here during the week for their happy hour and it did not disappoint. Drinks were great, different, and definitely fairly priced. The outdoor patio was super spacious and dog friendly as well. Really enjoyed the indoor space as well for the colder months. Overall loved the atmosphere and look forward to coming back when I'm up north

Great for solo me time or groups nice patio dog friendly For patio order in bar QR code I try the Malibu pineapple and the spicy mango frozzen margarita very good You can also bring food inside. How cool is that.......

I don't want to re-write this review... I'm just adding photos here but for some reason it doesn't let me add them to the review I already wrote; there's no way to edit the review and add photos. So here's a new photo review. Love the look and feel of this place!

Yea, we'll take a half off happy hour ANY DAY of the week. Solid bar in the area. Walked in and was met with a smile from the bartender behind the bar. Grabbed the UNO cards and a seat at the patio tables on the outside patio. Ordered very tasty drinks from the outside bar and really enjoyed the music and atmosphere of this spot. Very chill with heavy pours.

I love this bar. I watched the construction of it over the course of the pandemic so I was exited to finally try it. The main bar area is small but there's a covered patio that's enclosed for winter which is awesome! Their bar seemed fully stocked and their cocktails were interesting and fun. I had a cocktail with malort in it and it was delicious - the malort wasn't as prominent as you'd expect. What I loved is they had non-alcoholic spirits behind the bar. My friend isn't a huge drinker and asked the cocktail for something fruity using the Seedlip non-alcoholic spirit, and she said it was amazing. Definitely can't wait to go back!

Our peeps are always winding up at different bars. My love and I were lured to visit the Central Park Bar, at an obscure location on Central Park just south of Milwaukee Avenue. The five of us bellied up to the bar and enjoyed half-price Happy Hour drinks (weeknights 4 to 7PM). The cocktails were pretty good, and twice as good as they were half-off. My loved enjoyed her Berry Cute (with Malort and vodka) while I liked my girly-looking Scott's New Party Shirt. After a few cocktails, we really enjoyed looking at the charismatic wall coverings. They also have an outdoor patio, which we did not use that evening as the weather was miserable outside.
