Went here and an event was happening, which made getting something to drink very difficult..ordered 2 so I didn't have to wait again.
Was planning on ordering food at the bar but for as long as it took to get a drink we got seats at a table instead..the table staff was nice. I just don't feel they staffed correctly for the event and the regular customers.
I had the BBQ beef sliders and they were pretty tasty..which I didn't remember to take a pic before I started to dig in.
Pretty good size patio..

5 stars!! The bartenders were both approachable. They made me feel like a valued person. The crab artichoke dip was stunning. They did not size me up. They gave me better service and food than expected. Other restaurant owners who think they’re entitled should take direction from a young, but professional crew like this one. Not all young people give great service, or even older for that matter. I really appreciate how I was treated. Definitely not always the case. Also the other customers were friendly and the way the bar was set up made sense. The people working there didn’t treat it like a chore.

Food is excellent. Granddaughter loved the mac n cheese. Lots of vegetarian options. Very nice outdoor seating. It's a bit pricy but everything is freshly made with quality ingredients.

Awesome location in the heart of downtown. Kitchen wise, everything that I've eaten here has been great. Prices reflect the quality of the menu. The atmosphere is relaxed, but expect it to be crowded. Everytime I've dropped in it has been packed, especially the huge patio!

Experience here seems to be extremely hit and miss. Sometimes, they're on it. Sometimes, they'll simply forget about you. The drafts can sometimes be flat. Staff can be very friendly, but the place can feel either understaffed or most likely they are underpaid. Overall, mismanagement is probably at fault for every issue at Parkside. That is most often the case at any restaurant with issues like this.

First time here but the food was great, the outside patio has lots of outdoor games (corn hole, a peg board game etc) and the service was friendly and attentive. Granted it was lunch and not busy. Can’t wait to go back. Entrance is around the corner on 3rd btw.

I had wanted to go to Taphouse for so long, and unfortunately this first visit left much to be desired. To be clear, the food was fantastic. No complaints there whatsoever. But, the service was absolutely abhorrent. It was not a particularly busy evening, but our dinner ended up lasting almost 3 hours due to the inattention of the staff. After the hostess seated us and got us waters, it took about 10 minutes for someone to come take our drink orders. After waiting 20-25 minutes for 3 beers and a cocktail, we then waited...and waited...until someone in our party finally had to go track down our waiter so that they would take our order. This was literally an hour after we arrived. After ordering, the food arrived in decent time and was delicious. But, to top off the evening, we had one person in our party who was celebrating a birthday and our server offered a scoop of gelato. We accepted the gelato, and then waited over 20 minutes for a scoop of gelato to arrive. Actually, we were gathering our stuff to go pay the bill at the front and leave before we finally saw our server coming out with the bowl of gelato.

So again, the food was delicious. The beer was OK. The atmosphere was OK, but nothing special. However, the service was some of the worst I've ever experienced. Needless to say, we won't be returning. If we want beers and good food, Sierra Nevada will have our business.
