If you travel to the Traverse City area this is a must. Fantastic service, food, and drinks. The bartenders really take pride in making the cocktails. Will and Joel were fantastic last week/weekend. We had Joel's 'Bitter sweet' and it will now be one of our wedding cocktails its delicious! I typically drink bourbon on the rocks, and Joel's bitter sweet is a great way to enjoy bourbon in a different way. Thanks Will, Joel and the Parlor crew!!
Been coming here since they opened when I would visit TC from downstate. Now that I moved and live in TC I may be there a little to often. Great Staff, Food, Atmosphere and Happy Hour. Highly Recommend. Everyone I've brought to The Parlor has been very impressed.
Downfall is that there is a credit card surcharge here for using a credit card to pay. This should be told to you BEFORE you sit down at the establishment, not AFTER you have ordered. Otherwise, we liked this place. Great atmosphere. Liked the intimate seating. Deviled eggs were good. Martinis were very good. Good service. Cozy environment.
This place is fantastic. Hidden gem a 5 minute walk from front street. Bartenders take time to make the best craft cocktails around. Pizza was excellent and unique. We were in TC for 3 days and this is the only place we went all 3 days.
A very neat atmosphere with good cocktails. The service and attentiveness of staff has been good. Our last trip was a bit harder to get drinks, but we are hoping this is a fluke.
We LOVE The Parlor (minus their chairs and stools which are ridiculously uncomfortable)! Their drinks are absolutely delicious and the food is awesome! The Desi Arnaz pizza tasted different last night than it ever did before. It was more doughy and we didn’t like it as much. We’ll definitely go back and try it again, though. Their drinks and ambiance are also amazing and worth going for alone! I love the old timey feel of the restaurant and that they play silent movies on the walls. Very cool!
Best pizza in town. A true hidden gem! The drinks and service were amazing!
Best Happy Hour I have been to in years!!!! The food was just as delicious. We came here on our first night of a long birthday weekend and I can’t wait to be back this summer!
I can’t say enough great things about the Parlor in TC! We held a company event here on a Thursday evening and everything was spectacular. Julie, Payton, and Matt were INCREDIBLE. We ended up having more people than we anticipated and they did not miss a beat. They even made us a special craft cocktail tailored just for our group. I had so many people coming up to us asking how we found this place and how amazing everything was. Thank you so so much Julie & team - you are wonderful!!!
Pretty good place, but this place would be expensive even back home in New Jersey.
We really liked our cocktails, especially the ones the bartender made up.
If I were single, I would come here often. As it is I had fun with a group of people. The pizza is really good. I think one of the best happy hours in Traverse city. The drinks were delicious.
Fantastic atmosphere, service, beverages, and food. They had live music and some outdoor seating. They have both alcoholic and non alcoholic specialty drinks. The strawberry basil lemonade was perfect for a warm day. Highly recommend them to anyone look for a place to go for a night out downtown!
The Parlor is amazing! My family owns a home in Traverse City, and we are in the area frequently for vacation/R&R/work. The Parlor is a staple for us. A great atmosphere, and incredible craft cocktails. My personal favorites are the smoke stack (delicious with a great presentation), and grapefruit basil margarita. The staff is attentive, engaging, and entertaining. If you're in the TC area, stop by. You will not be disappointed!
This place is super chill. A throwback to a simpler time with a sophisticated feel inside. We opted to hang outside and watch the live music. No food for us this time, but the few drinks we ordered were excellent. The cocktails are a definite step up in presentation and fresh ingredients than you would find being served in most venues. You can tell they really care about crafting drinks...and we really care to come back for more.
The BEST White Russian I have ever had. It was not on the menu, but our bartender happily made one ofe me. Great atmosphere. They do have live music and 2 different bars to visit.
I also work downtown and it's nice to get out and about and support other local businesses. The Parlor does not disappoint. They have amazing drinks and food and equally if not better staff! Last week, Sarah was our server and she was just so sweet and attentive and this week we had Rachel and she was just as great and such a joy to have around. Both are top notch customer service employees and for that you get 5stars! Thank you! 🥰
Had a great time with the fellas from work. Phenomenal service!
The atmosphere is very unique yet comforting for TC. I expect this in GR but get it here. Higher service with more complicated exceptional drinks and bartenders with bow ties. I honestly love the black and white cartoons or old show and movies. They are what I call class. No Ken really says that word anymore. Class. I’m looking for that in a guy and have yet to find it.
We stayed above The Parlor in an Airbnb. We ate and had crafted cocktails 2 nights in a row. Fun atmosphere and amazing drinks.
