Parks Place

Dope place. Here from Los Angeles and I truly enjoyed myself so far. Bartenders and cook were super inviting and knowledgable on there menus. Handshake meeting policy. Ashley, Megan and Chef from South Park were great. I recommend it to anyone who wants a beer and bite to eat.

I used to be a daily regular until I relocated where i work! Brandi is all that and a bag of chips! She is not the usual bartender but very friendly, trust worthy and not afraid to tell it like it is. A TON of regulars/​freinds who welcome newcomers. Food has dropped off a bit lately as my appearances are not as often. this is not due to the Parks team but my schedule.
Just better ventilation and food back up a notch. Shelly and Brandi keep the doors open as Sam Captains the ship!
Thanks for all the great memories!

I had no idea this place was here. It is like finding the proverbial diamond in the rough of Garland, TX.
I sat myself down at the bar and immediately the bartender came up to me and asked what I wanted to drink. Ordering one of my local favorites, she brought it over with a smile then asked my name, she then introduced herself and shook my hand. Very nice way to build rapport with your customers. Aerial did a great job looking after me for the rest of the evening.
There’s a very friendly crowd at Parks Place, almost feels homely. There were 2 – 3 video games along one wall, trivia TVs scatted throughout and 3 – 4 TVs above the bar. There were also pool tables available.
I didn’t eat there but the couple next to me ordered some chicken and sides and it was huge. Literally enough for 4 people. It looked good too. I’m definitely going to come back here to sample some of the food, and enjoy the hospitality. I also struck up another conversation with someone at the bar.
The only downside is that, being in Garland, smoking is allowed, but it wasn’t so bad that it was in my face. If this place was closer to where I live, and/​or there was no smoking, I’d be back more often.
I knocked half a star off for that, and for calling locally brewed beer (in the DFW area) an import. Why can’t bars just admit they over charge for locally brewed beer because it’s unknown numbers of times better than. well, other beer you can get. That usually has «Lite» or «Bud» or «Coors» or «Miller» in the name… not wanting to call any out in particular :) Another ½ off for that.
Overall, great service, friendly customers, a little smokey, enough food to feed an army!

Can’t prove anything but I hadn’t used my credit card in 6 months before I went here. I used it once while I was there and then 3 weeks later 4000 dollars worth of bogus transactions appeared from online websites like amazon. It’s a cool dive bar shuffle board table need to be serviced and prices are ok. But I strongly urge anyone who goes here to pay cash

They have great daytime bartender named Brandi she pretty freaking awesome and know how to keep you on your toes

I’ve been here three times now, and each visit was even better than the last! Smoker-​friendly (YAY!!!), good jukebox, very friendly staff, and you can buy a ceiling tile to decorate on your own for $ 5, and it will display forever in the bar. :) *Bought my tile, waiting on my best friend to get here so we can paint it up, deliver it there, and have an awesome girl’s night. If memory serves, Thursdays are Ladies Nights. There’s some beat up dart boards and about three pool tables, and Golden Tee.
I think they serve food, not sure… hell, it’s a bar, and you can smoke there. And the ambiance is awesome.
I can’t wait to go back!
