| - I dropped into Queen Park Social on a Sunday afternoon to check it out and grab lunch. We walked in around 12 p.m. to an almost empty venue. Fortunately, that made for very quick seating in the dining area. You can order food in the dining area, the bar, the game rooms and the outdoor patio.
The menu is diverse bar food - salads, burgers, tacos. We ordered a cobb salad with steak and a big burger. The food did take a while to come out, especially considering there weren't any other tables ordering food at the time. But, it was very tasty. The steak on my salad was a generous portion and cooked a perfect medium rare. The burger was also cooked a perfect medium and and included a big slice of queso fresca and guacamole - yum! Our server, who only had one table, hovered a bit but that should shake out with more experience and more tables.
The patio looked great - maybe 12 tables, some with shade. Dogs are welcome to lounge on the patio with their people.
The bar has 18 taps - many of which were empty after a busy Saturday night. There were maybe 6 dedicated to local taps - I'd love to see that increased. There's also a full bar option with plenty of specialty cocktails.
We weren't there to play games this time, but the area looked fun - albeit smaller than I imagined. There's an 8-lane bowling alley, 2 shuffleboards, and a couple of pool tables. It's a neat idea - but I'd like to see the practicality of it on a busy night. Seems like a relatively few number of people could overpower the game space, but I could be completely off on that.
Overall, great addition to LoSo!
