We loved this place so much we went two nights. The elk medallions were amazing! Great service too!

Getting right to the point, this place is absolutely fantastic, what a hidden gem. I say hidden because it's fairly new and tucked between two buildings and down a little stairwell. We LOVED it. The food, the vibe, the service, the drinks - all 5 stars. The 12-ounce Ribeye with the Herb butter, crispy asparagus and Yukon mashed was as good as it gets, and a perfect temperature cook. Our other dish was a special, a braised beef that was so tender and flavorful - it almost made me cry. Service from Jovana was 10 stars and the mixologist Cam behind the bar made one of the best Expresso Martinis we've had - each drink gets true fresh expresso, and Cam is a vigorous 'shaker'. This was such a nice find. There are two dining rooms, and we choose a booth on the bar side, romantic lighting, clean & comfortable. This experience was not just a superb dinner; it was a wonderful experience! Highly recommend and would return to Estes Park - for this meal alone. Thank you Park Tavern Team! read more

Came here after a long adventure in the mountains. They were able to seat us right away which was nice. The food was very tasty but could have been hotter, it was warm by the time that it got to me. They had many other things on the menu that I would like to come back and try! It was very welcoming inside. and I like how the tables were not too close together. Our waitress was okay, we were the only ones for a while in a room off to the side which was nice, but it felt like she forgot about us at times. Overall 4/5 stars! read more

We came for lunch on the patio with our dog. The patio was a bit lackluster, with things piled up along the wall and no umbrellas or coverage for when it rained. Service was good, the menu has some interesting options but we went with the Hangover Burger and fries. The fries were good, kinda like Wendy's. The burger was alright, good enough but nothing special. Our fried egg was pretty overcooked. Would maybe come back to try other items. read more

Love this place but please stop using maple bacon on the BLT it tastes like a really bad breakfast sandwich.. Also if you are serving avocado BLT please put the avocado on the sandwich! read more

Food was amazing. Our waitress was very helpful in recommending items and we loved it all. The atmosphere was nicer than we were expecting since it used to be more of a bar and grill. We'd definitely come back! read more

2nd time here and this time the food was wow, like the slaw is some of the best I've had and yes why I start with the slaw is because it's was so good. Jerk chicken drum stick really great and salmon sandwich excellent. Fish tacos had peppers that were crazy hot. George Stagg Jr on the menu. Great Bourbon selection with process a bit too high, but GS Jr at 20 isn't too bad. We will definitely be back read more

Food was very fresh and tasty! Highly recommend the chicken lollipops, beef ravioli, and beet and arugula salad. The ambiance was cozy and chill. The service was outstanding! We also really liked the crafted cocktails. read more

We were recommended Park Tavern by a local. The entrance is somewhat hidden behind the shops off Elkhorn Ave. We came on a weekday for a quick lunch; timing was in between lunch and dinner, so it was not very busy. Service was quick and attentive. We ordered two apps and an entree. Everything was wonderful! The beef short rib was tender and flavorful. The shrimp aguachile was refreshing and the chili was comforting. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and would also recommend Park Tavern to others! read more

A signature stop! I went here when I was younger and remembered this tucked away pub with an incredible bison burger. Needless to say, we were full and happy leaving! Hristina, our server, was attentive and sweet. The spot has a nice tavern feel with outdoor seating available. Highly recommend the elk sausage :) read more

This spot took over where Wapiti Colorado Pub used to be. I recognized it right when I walked in. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great. We tried a couple of burgers, and they were solid. Service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant was clean with a full bar. read more

OMG! An amazing restaurant! It's slightly off Elk Ave downtown. It's a cute place that serves delicious food!! They have a full bar. We had the Elk medallions with mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our waitress was so very nice! We will definitely go back when we go to EP again! read more

Finally some actually good food in Estes. This place is special and is legit delicious. In this touristy town, I've had a hard time finding actually good eats but this is it. The chef at Park Tavern is apparently the same chef for the highly regarded Hunters Chophouse. I can't wait to go back and try more. I got the steak and the pecan pie. Both SO good. Service was excellent as well. Vibe inside was very cool: the room is pretty dark and each table has a lamp light creating a cozy atmosphere. It felt (and tasted) genuinely upscale, a welcome reprieve from the general Estes tourist options. read more

Went here with my wife last night. We sat in the bar at a booth and thought the bar area was a nice setting. We had a couple hand-crafted cocktails and they were really delicious. I watched them make all of them and really take their time and pay attention to details. They were very well done! I order old fashions quite a bit and theirs was one of the better one I have had-not too sweet like many are. We also had an Apathy and a Patio Crusher which were also outstanding. We started with the Seared Beef Ravioli which we absolutely loved and could have made a meal out of. I had the herb-roasted chicken thighs which were delicious but it did have a lot of sauce on it. My wife had the short ribs which was really braised beef but was also very delicious. I would recommend this place for both the drinks and the food! Waitress was very nice and attentive so add great service to the list! read more

Second Visit July 2025 After hiking 5 miles to Ouzel Falls (gorgeous, but oh my legs are screaming!), we dragged ourselves into Park Tavern for lunch...again. Yep, second visit in two days. And you know what? It was just as fabulous the second time around. We grabbed a breezy patio table and were lucky enough to be taken care of by Mindi who was absolutely funny, relaxed, totally in sync with our "we're not rushing this" vibe. She handled the lunch crowd like a pro and somehow still made time to chat and make great recommendations. And speaking of familiar faces... Ivana remembered us from the day before and stopped by like an old friend. Christian, who helped us with WiFi and killer cocktails yesterday, was behind the bar today mixing drinks like he's been doing it forever. (oh yeah, bartending, Christian...you're a natural.) The guys couldn't resist round two of those amazing burgers. My girlfriend devoured the short rib grilled cheese and mashed potatoes like it was her very favorite meal. And me? I had a full-on food romance with the blackened salmon piccata. Creamy, lemony, buttery magic. Please, oh please, let me have it again in this lifetime! This place has heart, hustle, and a vibe that makes you feel like you belong. Don't miss it. ~~~~~~~ First visit July 2025 Visited July 2, 2025 We were so hungry after an early morning hike and during a desperate Google search we discovered Park Tavern. New spot, tucked down a little alley off West Elkhorn and it looked promising. And oh, did it deliver. They're in soft opening, but you'd never know it. The vibe is modern pub with a fresh twist, cocktails are on point, and the team? So welcoming. Ivana, the hostess, got us seated at the perfect spot...open doors, mountain breeze, and good energy all around. I wandered up to the bar, started chatting, and to my surprise, I learned I was talking to one of the owners, Sujib. Yep. That was pretty cool! We had minty mojitos, a Grey Goose lemon drop, and a round of burgers that hit all the right notes...especially that fig and jalapeño combo. And yes, I absolutely ordered the bourbon pecan pie with butter pecan ice cream. Zero regrets. It was southern soul on a plate. Estes Park's food scene just got a glow-up. This one's worth finding. read more

Hidden Gem!!! The ambience, the staff, was all over and above. We were traveling with our twin infants and they were so very welcoming and accommodating. The food: OMG out of this world delicious! I had the Elk Tenderloin with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The gravy is something that I would eat on a lot of other foods. The tenderloin was prepared perfectly! MR. Lastly, the prices were unbelievably appealing. Don't pass up this place if you're considering it. Will definitely be back! read more

Best place to eat in Estes park my gf and I found. Came back multiple times, it's awesome! Def check out, awesome food, drinks and atmosphere. read more

What a hidden gem we keep this for our special culinary reward when we want comfort prepared well! Chicken thighs with mushrooms Tostones and burgers all recommend! read more

The service was great, the food good. The vegetarian fried pockets in the small plate section were fabulous. They have a very bright, light area with windows, a patio, and a more formal area to sit in. 2 complaints: the small plate "tostones" with braised beef was not tostones, which I grew up having in South America. It was roasted potatoes which I was not expecting! Secondly, if you advertise "freshly brewed iced tea" then it should be truly brewed iced tea done in house, not from a dispenser with a concentrate. Or at least offer hot tea for those not wanting coffee. read more

Not open, no updates, confusing website waste of time trying to find updated information

We had our post-elopement dinner here with a party of 24 and it could not have been a better choice. Booking was very easy and coordinating with the manager Bishwa was a breeze. He went above and beyond to make sure our group had the exact appetizer combination and entrées we wanted. Our group was full of picky eaters, yet everyone raved about the food. The appetizers (Caesar salad, beef ravioli, jerk chicken lollis) were a huge hit, and the entrées (steak and tostones, herb roasted chicken thighs, Cajun fried rice and garlic shrimp) were just as incredible. The cocktails were also top-notch. The staff was attentive and very nice, which made the whole experience even better. We were only visiting Colorado, but this place will definitely be at the top of our list the next time we are back. It is a perfect spot for a celebration or just a great meal. read more

Cool vibe here. Everyone is very welcoming. Burger was very good and my wife really loved the ravioli and said the green beans were the best she ever had. read more

Recommended! Food was 5. Service was 4. Atmosphere was 4. An affordable place to eat in Estes? More, please!

This is a hidden gem. Food was phenomenal. I had the wildest burger. My husband had the elk tenderloin. Both were delicious. Prices were great too read more

The elk medallion and chicken thighs are to die for. The place tucked behind some other shops, not phenomenal atmosphere but the food and service more than makes up for the very casual vibe. It's the best we've had here in Estes Park during our visit. We will definitely eat here again read more

The food is really good, medium rare burgers were properly cooked to perfection. The service was quick and friendly.

A lovely place we found that had really good reviews and decided to give it a go. The service and food were on point. Shared an artisan burger and fries that were fantastic. Another got the seared duck breast special. It was all very good along with a nice menu of artisan drinks. Would absolutely go back. read more

Our food was delicious. Friendly wait staff. We also loved the option to sit outside. Definitely recommend if you're in the Estes Park area read more

Great atmosphere, wait staff and service. Food was excellent. Had the fig burger and their burgers are AMAZING!

Came on a chilly night without reservations and got seated immediately in their cozy dining room. Staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. Best of all, food was great! You've got to try the Steak & Potato Tostones. Perfect way to start with the Pumpkin Soice Old Fashioned. Then we had the Short Rib Grilled Cheese and the Salmon Sandwich. Everything was spot on. Really glad we stumbled upon this! read more

Service was awesome,we went twice during our weekend stay. BTW, Raul is your guy! terrific experience!

The food was excellent and the service was terrific and we felt the atmosphere made us want to go back.

We were recently in Estes Park for a wedding and we found Park Tavern using the Yelp app. We had the Hangover Burgers and Caesar Salads and they were both EXCELLENT! We liked them so much that we went back for lunch the very next day to have them again. The burgers were char-broiled with a garlic aioli sauce that was incredible. The salad dressing was homemade and delicious! I wish we lived closer so we could go there every week! read more

Tucked away with a speakeasy vibe, this spot is a true hidden gem. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, perfect for conversation without the usual restaurant noise. The menu is creative and well thought out, offering something for everyone without feeling overwhelming. What really sets this place apart, though, is the bar. The cocktail program is outstanding, and the bartender is a master at his craft--every drink feels like it's been designed just for you. If you're looking for a place that combines great food, exceptional drinks, outstanding customer service and a relaxed yet stylish setting, this is it. read more

Our expectations were modest when we entered the small waiting area -- but then we were blown away by the service and the absolutely outstanding food. In a party of six, everything we ordered was top-notch, and the drinks were great. The winner may have been the exquisite, melt-in-your-mouth short rib, but everything was wonderful. A definite place to return to when we're next in Estes Park! read more

Stopped late on a Sunday evening and sat at the bar. Had a great conversation with Becky (bartender). Enjoyed our draft beers and an order of the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. Quiet bar area was a plus. read more
