They have a very inviting deck with a great selection of beer. We tried to sit on this deck but found it too smokey, thanks to the stylish couple a few feet upwind. Rather than complain and risk being ostracized (think George & the Dragon) we opted to walk to the Uber Tavern (which also features a small deck with smokers!) I have reported them both to King Co. Public Health.

Thankfully this place has been under new ownership since 2006 and it has a totally different feel. The new owners live in the neighborhood and really care about the pub and the people. If you are looking for a low key neighborhood hang out this is it. There is incredible music every Thursday and sometimes on Wednesday and Sunday. The free pool is nice. The tap beer selection is awesome and rotates weekly. Olimpia, Guinness, and Manny's are always on with 2-3 rotating IPAs and an ecclectic mixture of other local styles and seasonals. Great selection of Belgian Bottles. Pretty nice Scotch and Whisky selection too. The menu is pub food (great wings and fries) and the use of organic chicken and beef is a nice touch. Cool bartenders who are actually nice. The regulars are welcoming and the atmosphere is totally unpretentious. This place is a great for happy hour (Good cheap beer), evenings are pretty mellow and late night usually has a really fun industry crowd. Pros: great beer and people Cons: can get loud

There are many reasons you might adopt this as your local. I did, for a good long while, until I moved out of walking-home distance. Their beer is well chosen, their tap selection cycles regularly, and they take care of the machinery what gets you your beer. Although I usually stick with one of their IPAs, they were extraordinarily early-adopters of Manny’s Pale (Georgetown Brewing) and had a supply of Olympia-stubbies that lasted longer than any other pub I’m aware of. They serve Vita coffee (but not espresso) and have one of those fairly ubiquitous Jagermeister cooling/dispensing machines. Although my impression is that beer dominates, they have a solid selection of middle-to-midupper shelf spirits. A good game of pool can be had. Two pool tables are well cared for and re-felted more often than you will usually see. The house-cues are generally of good quality and replaced when necessary. The pool-playing regulars are fairly skilled, but come well shy of elasmobranchial. The food is more than adequate—pizzas well dressed with a cracker-y crust; burgers and chicken sandwiches much better than average; a Caesar large enough for two; fish-n-chips tender, flaky, and crispy; and more ambitious (generally successful) items. The fries are seasoned with a blend that disorients me but certainly enjoyed by most. In sum, a great place to do most anything legal. On the downside, the Park is on the east side of the street, with a wall of windows to the west. As everyone with large western windows can understand, the pub heats up in a hurry on Seattle what-passes-for-summer days. Also, though I smoke and it doesn’t bother me, the Park can get quite smoky at times, despite efforts to improve ventilation.

Park Pub is a great neighborhood bar. They have great drink specials and a tasty dinner menu. Two pool tables in the side room for activity and a fun long bar perfect for meeting your neighbors. This bar attracts an eclectic crowd, but always a relaxed and casual atmosphere with a very friendly bartender.

This is a cool place to kick back and relax. Cheesy frat boys, the so-called hipsters of Capitol Hill and in-crowd wanna-bes of Fremont do occasionally annoy the regulars at The Pub, but hey it's a bar. The food is superior to any "pub" food and the staff is cool, if you're not pretentious and all-knowing. Here's a hint...it's Phinney Ridge. A great neighborhood who welcomes The updated Park Pub. Pros: food, atmosphere, beer selection

This place used to be my Monday thru Friday divey watering hole. Now, it is trying to be too 'Fremont'. If I wanted that kind of atmosphere I would go to Fremont. Bruce (the original owner) needs to come back and make this place cool again. There are one or two (if any at this point) regulars still frequenting this bar. The regulars were one of the major draws. It was a 'safe' non-meet-market kind of place. Now it just sucks. I didn't feel welcome in my hiking boots and ratty jeans like I always used to. Skip the Park Pub and go across the street for a hot dog and good crowd. Pros: none Cons: 'Fremont' crowd

This used to be a friendly, low-key, unpretentious, slightly dingy neighborhood pub with a good beer selection and standard pub grub. Ownership changed, the place got remodeled and now tries to be a trendy bar. The new interior decoration draws from colorblindness and plain bad taste, the menu sounds a bit more fancy than it used to (but the quality lags behind), the beer selection is still good (if you manage to get service), the music on occasion borders on acoustic pollution. Judging from the few souls who find their way here on weeknights, this place has achieved the trendiness and popularity of a transfer station. It takes more than orange and blue paint to turn a neighborhood pub into a cool bar, and Phinney isn't Fremont. Fortunately. Pros: beer selection Cons: atmosphere, service

This place has nice pool tables and the atmosphere is fine. However, I was puzzled that the bartender didn't seem to know anything about beer. I asked for a Pale Ale or an IPA and he said, "If you want something light..." and tried to offer me a Pilsner. Then he suggested Anchor Steam which is an Amber. I finally went up to the bar to look for myself and they had four IPA's!
