Park Street Cantina

Great place just off high street but close to everything and the swing seats are an added touch for something different outside

Oh, Park Street Cantina, I don't even know where to begin. This bar is down near the Arena District, right next to Gaswerks and Brothers, across from the North Market. It's both indoor and outdoor, depending on the time of year. Sometimes the entire place is open but usually only on busy weekends and nights. If I'm being honest it's never my first choice. I feel like I usually end up here randomly and when I'm several drinks in... likely at the fault of my friends. The service has never been anything to rave about, but it gets the job done. Drinks are priced reasonable and compare to the other spots nearby. The restrooms are kept clean enough for a bar of this sort. I've never eaten here, and likely never will. Music is always loud but dance inducing, which I'm always down for. This is not necessary a spot that I would recommend. However, if you're in the area for a bar crawl or sporting event, it can be fun. I enjoy the patio and the swing and sometimes the dance floor. Enter at your own risk. The timing needs to be just right.

no one really goes to park street unless there is an event going on anyways but I decided to go with a few friends who are from out of town last night .. this bartender literally made eye contact with me and kept on going. I am a server myself so I understand being busy BUT she was not AT ALL it wasn't even close to last call and she kept on cleaning and doing her thing. It's hard for me to get treated this way and ignored when I go out since I am in the service industry myself but this was ridiculous. I will never be back.Thanks for ignoring me and saving my money.

We went here for a Taco tasting event they were hosting on a Friday afternoon. We purchased tickets online for it. Definitely proceeded with caution as I have seen and heard of negative experiences from staff with minorities. Upon entering there was no instruction or indication of the event and how to start or where to start with tickets etc. We eventually figured out what we needed to do but the staff wasn't helpful without being asked. So we scanned our E ticket, went to the bar to order the tacos and there were toppings available buffet style in the back bar area. The proteins were chicken, shredded beef, ground beef shrimp and jackfruit. I was shocked and happy about the jackfruit which I've been wanting to try as it's vegan /vegetarian option. They were served on this wooden, flat 'plate'. Cute presentation but not the most logical in a crowded bar where walking is required. The toppings were PLENTY. Anything you could want or think of.By the time I got to the table to eat food was cold but it was a cool event.Next time a little more guidance would make it a lot smoother process.

If I could give this place less than one star I would. We just got off a pedal wagon and this mean lady bartender gave us a nasty look and said to her boss that she couldn't do this because there were a total of 8 people???? Then she proceeded to make us sit down in an empty restaurant. She wrote down our orders and took about 30 minutes to make 8 vodka sodas ???????? I'm no bartender but that's seems like an excess amount of time. She then gave us back 5/8 cards and then told us that we didn't give us all 8 and accused us of not giving her all the cards. FYI she found them behind the register.... lol. Also all of our checks had a tip already included and didn't tell us and each receipt has a different servers name on it. Usually I love this place but after being mistreated I will not be giving my money to this place again. (June 13th 2020... she was wearing black nike hat, pink shirt and army/camo jacket and maroon shorts)

I was here for an event. It was filthy dirty and the drinks were crazy expensive. How is this dump still operating and where is the health department?

By day, Cantina has great happy hour specials and daily specials. My favorite specials are the $5 32 oz margaritas and $5 fajitas. They're both soooo good! Service is hit or miss in the daytime and terrible at night. Once the sun goes down, Cantina is like every other place on Park Street.

I guess this is one of those times that I write just a very blah review. I'm not a fan of me writing negative reviews unless it's really called for so let's just say that if I were going to be a late night drunk this would be a place I might like to be found. Otherwise, for a Cinco de Mayo lunch time visit with friends this is not something I would recommend. Here are some reasons why I feel this way:A. It's Cinco de Mayo lunch so I pay $20 for a fish bowl type sized Margarita on the rocks. I could have had a better drink from a pop machine. Oh it was so over the top with that line based mix that it was pretty much something you just had to use to get the food down not something you would enjoy or at least I didn't.B. The bartender started out as our server or taking the order I guess that's what you might want to call it but thankfully he never came back we ended up with a server who was really good for that environment.C. It's called food but I will just refer to it as a prefab-I'm hungry-so let's just go ahead and eat it situation from the menu. Absolutely zero taste in anything that I put into my mouth. The food temperature was lukewarm at its best. Presentation there really wasn't any at all.D. It was so so cold and rainy that day and the wind was blowing. I wish they had shut the overhead doors to allow you to feel like you're actually safe from the weather but no those Overhead Doors stayed up the entire time we were there. People were really cold and complaining but nobody seemed to be concerned.It was a spot on Cinco de Mayo close to downtown that we attempted to have a decent lunch and drinks that word decent is non-existent at Park Street Cantina.In my mind and I'm being serious with you the only reason I would go there from this point forward would be if it were at night time get drunk and loud and crazy type of situation so I'm out.

Last night I went here during happy hour. The drinks by bartender Lauren were fantastic, the $2 burgers were for being $2. The place was dead but it was well worth going while listening to Britney Spears radio.

I had a slightly better experience here compared to other Arena District bars. Park Street Cantina is probably the best of the Park Street trio. It has amazing happy hour specials. It also has a fun atmosphere. This is a bar I could feel better about returning to. It has some great prices for the area. It's an area known for ripping you off. The happy hour is the best time to come here. It has very good margaritas in pitchers for $5. They also have a Taco Tuesday special for $5. They have swings you can sit on at the bar. It can be pretty fun if you're drunk, and fun watching others fall out of them. The crowd gets douchier and rowdier later in the night, as some of them have probably been kicked out of the bars down the street. It's a big place in there, so you can still enjoy it. There's lots of room you can enjoy on the patio when it's warm. I would rather come here than some of the other bars. It's not great, but it's still an improvement. The food is better than typical bar food, and the margaritas are cheap and tasty.
