Back then, the Parkside felt like it was on the edge of civilization, way out on Attorney Street, which felt so distant and desolate late at night...and nowhere near a park. I went in recently on a Sunday afternoon and was happy to find the place empty, save for a lone pool-player. The interior looks a lot less divey than I recall, but I was still pleased to see all the board games and game tables, instantly making me feel at home.

Parkside - A friend told me about this place a few months ago and I've been trying to remember where it was. Now I know. Glad to hear it's still a dive. And now I know where it is.
T.
The place has been spruced up quite a bit, but I still recommend dropping in on an afternoon (it can get pretty crowded at night).
Decent bathroom, too - that's important!
A great bar and lots of free live music at night. You have to love a bar that supports bands and hasn't surrendered to karaoke. You captured it great in your photo. Love the neon.
I love this photo too!!The neon orange liquid might have been Tang. You know the stuff the astronauts brought with them on their space adventures-sold in jars.
Thanks, guys.
Melanie - you may be right about the Tang. I recently noticed Mona's serves Tang-flavored vodka, so maybe it's making a comeback...Tangtini, anyone?
