Parkside Lounge

The white male manager with the accent was EXTREMELY Racist, hostile and condescending. After leaving a networking event, we walked into this establishment to get a couple shots as we waited for a friend to get an Uber since it was after 11pm. Everyone knows nyc hasn't been as safe. He asked for ids and we complied. He asked for the third id to which she responded, one second because she needed to pull her wallet from her bag. He immediately got disrespectful and assumed we weren't making a purchase because she was the one person getting an Uber. He started making yapping motions with his hand to mimic me as | tried to advocate for us and explain that he had the wrong idea and therefore there was no need to be disrespectful. He even slipped in a few insults and slurs. Told me that he doesn't need our money and to get out.We asked him if he has sisters or aunts he would want to see be able to get home safely as we did our friend.The response was that he didn't care!!! This is what is wrong with the city now, no community or will to protect one another. As three young women, it shouldn't be an issue to stand somewhere for 3 minutes to make sure someone gets home safely. And if a purchase was required, then that should've been mentioned respectfully right away. This is exactly why I don't like going out in nyc anymore. All these establishments constantly make it hard for black people to feel welcome and safe.

Coming back to try the food. But I absolutely love their frozen espresso martini. The bartenders are absolutely incredible and nice . Beautiful bar and beautiful atmosphere. I’m so excited to visit again❤️

Great bar. Dance space was fun and lively. But WATCH YOUR DRINK to the young lady who ran out to check in my partner after noticing she been slipped something, thank you so much and keep doing good things

We love this place. Fellow patrons are friendly. Drink prices are gentle. The vibe is chill. The music is fun. The door person is respectful. The juke box is great. A solid night out or just pop in for a beer.

Cool place :)

Chunk was great. More Chuck please.

I've been perfoming at and hosting at Parkside for years - I just started my own series there and it has been the most seamless of experiences working with Gavin (and Dex by extension!). I'm given freedom to curate the way I want and have been able to create a safe space for all artists thanks to the great management. I love all of the Bartenders, Chaz the bouncer, and everyone in between. A wonderful home away from home~! Thanks for everything yall! Wheelchair accessibility: From the front and side and back!
