The staff at Park is refreshingly friendly and welcoming. None of the typical douchebaggery-at-the-door that infects much of Fremont East exists here. All smoking is relegated to the delightful see-saw area in the very back of the courtyard. This means I can sit at the bar both inside and outside AND in the courtyard dining area without the stench of cigarettes. That in itself is reason to hang out at the very eccentric Park. Couple this with the $10 beer-and-a-shot menu --and I mean GOOD beer and GOOD shots, I had a Wexford's Irish Cream Ale and a Jameson-- and I find the Park as the first Fremont East Bar to make it into my 'downtown rounds' list.
*I'm a bit sad that they got rid of the veggie sliders, without those, I see little reason to grub here. But I will still drink here.
