Excellent hang out....music, football games, outside patio. Bartenders are great. The owner hangs out and talks to guests! Very relaxing place.

I have been here multiple times. As always I love the vibe. The patio is nice and inside hospitality is served with LOVE. It's hard to make the trip from the beaches to see you but believe me when I am in the neighborhood you will see my face!

It's a very friendly bar for all. The bar staff work hard and our the life of the party. The unfortunate part is the DJ is the one person who can be bothered to ensure a good time. No song request are taken because he runs the show (he has a hard time reading the room). Other than that I definitely recommend!!!It's a great place to play dart and pool!!

So I've been very reluctant to go back to Park places again because every time I go I get the same experience it seems as park place one of a few of LGBT bars in Jacksonville and I live right in Riverside but my last experience have been waiting on someone to Service me I know two bartenders that give me excellent service in there but I went in there and sat there for 15 minutes at the bar and watched the bartenders looked at me and didn't ask me what I would like to drink and skipped over me and serve the people that walked in after me several times and then finally looked at me and say you want to drink and I said I've been sitting here for 15 minutes. I've been wanting to drink and he had the nerve tell me well ask for a drink with attitude because I was displeased with the service , not my job to do your job l, i would have ask for a drink if I would have had the proper service at the beginning, but I got skipped over and looked over several times, I've been a bartender, for 11 years and I know how to serve my customers and, that's why they keep coming back to me this is not my first rodeo and I know how bars and the restaurant business should be operated I have opened up many bars and started many bar programs and restaurants. I have worked in Houston at very high volume bars then Parkplace and we are still able to keep up and pay attention to the customers, and serve them excellent service I think Parkplace is a cute bar and I would have liked to become a regular there especially being new to Jacksonville in the area, but judging the last few bad service experience has out weight the good two experience I have had there. I'd rather give my time and money to another establishment that will actually give me a better experience.

We originally started coming to this bar because we assumed it would be a judgement free safe space. On slow nights that's the case. Yes I'm a straight white male but the bartenders will at least take my order on slow nights. We went on a Friday and I got pat down had to empty all my pockets and questioned about contents in my pockets. (A flashlight) I then watched several men walk in with their male partners and they were waved in with no search at all. I was with my girlfriend but that shouldn't make me a target of discrimination. The fact that the door guy told me I was being searched because of Pulse night club was unnecessary. If that was the case they search everyone not just the straight guys. We stood at the bar trying to order for about 15 minutes while everyone else was being served around us until we finally left. I'm not from Jax and maybe that's just how their LGBTQ+ community acts but I'm not used to it. If you don't want allies to come support your business then just post it on the door and own it. It sucks because we loved coming to this bar the few times we came on slow nights. We were welcomed across the street so that'll have to be our haunt now.

Good club! There was no cover which was nice. The music was good. They had a good mix of songs. Definitely would recommend. The best part of this club is that the drinks are reasonably priced. Two drinks for 12 dollars. That's really cheap compared to other clubs. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because the dance floor is very small. They should make it bigger. And add more chairs around the bar.

I'm new to the area, and I was excited to find Park Place in my neighborhood. I have been there several times, but recently I have had some poor and rude interactions with one of the bartenders. He commented on my tip saying that "it was light". I tipped him based on the number of drinks I had, but that wasn't good enough for him. I had the exact same experience with this bartender a few nights later. Sadly this bartender works most nights, and I don't want to subject myself to this treatment again.I asked one of the other bartenders who works at Park Place about this, and he said that was rude of him. I've decided to take my business elsewhere as I don't want to spend my money somewhere where my business isn't appreciated. I've since discovered 5 Points, and it's been a positive change. I may give Park Place another try at some point, but for now I'm done with them.

A non alcoholic beverage mocktail is $4.75 WTF it's not even out of cans it's outta the soda gun ,effin stupid and the only good thing was they had a patio for the people that smoke and alcoholics don't like non alcoholics so the bartender was slightly ignorant with his obvious lack of personality but perhaps it's was the dye in his beard cause you can't fool me older men that dye their hair look absolutely ridiculous.After reading the reviews obviously these people are getting paid or free drinks for leaving fake reviews.

Love it here. They have daily drink specials during the week, lovely staff, and a very welcoming environment. We go to play pool normally but we love how inviting it is here. Great music, good drinks, and it's very secure with ID and metal detection at the door. We love the patio out back too, such a fun place
