Came here on a lazy Friday early evening with a friend who is a Highland Park denizen. I run up and down Bryant frequently, but this laidback joint had never caught my eye. We got our beers (Stella on special being a perfectly refreshing choice on a hot afternoon) and sat outside on their new deck, which was roomy and offered ample opportunity for people watching. A huge bonus of Park Place Pub is their partnership with Applewood Smoke Burger Company (reviewed separately). Highly recommended for a low-key happy hour/night out.
