We hosted my birthday party in the Bar Room and had a wonderful time. Steve, the owner, was very communicative and transparent when it came to booking, pricing, and selecting the drink/food package. Mike, the Event host was super fun, provided amazing service, and overall made sure we all had a great time. The Bar room was very cool and was more than enough space for everyone. Food and drinks were great as well.

Port and Park Bistro was the best place for our engagement party! The food, provided by the restaurant, was all excellent. The bar staff were incredible and added to the energy of the evening. Steve was great to work with and made sure that our group felt at home. We really enjoyed the total privacy of the room and entire experience!
