    Had a wonderful experience at the parlor during a recent get away to Traverse City. Went with a large group of friends and it had more than enough space to accommodate our group of 12. The waitress was very cheerful and attentive making for a fun experience. The happy hour at this place can't be beat half off all drinks. The drinks were all delicious. It was apparent they were made by a bartender that cares about his craft. The food was also great we just got some snacks but everything was so good especially the hummus and burrata.

    This bar is so cool! Great vibe, super friendly staff, and the cocktails are amazing.

    Tonight's band started out great, then got stuck jamming, stayed on the same tune, same 3-4 bars, for over 20 minutes, or more, we left, many left, they had no regard or awareness of their audience. A shame. Bartenders were fabulous!

    Excellent pizza (Frank Capra with double sausage and no pesto substitute mozzarella for feta) and strong drinks ( Bay bramble, cosmo, strawberry basil lemonade, and Kyoto martini). Happy hour is THE BEST deal!! we had 6 drinks and a $25 pizza ($22 + 3 extra Italian sausage=$25). Service was TERRIFIC !! Attentive without being overbearing or overly obsequious. atmosphere on the patio in summer is terrific. What is there not to love about summer and Traverse City?! Inside it's very cozy and I would think it would be terrific anytime of the year, comfortable sofas, plenty of small and large party seating available. The bar seems to be efficiently run and drinks come pretty quickly. I would strongly recommend.!

    We popped into Parlor to grab a quick drink before another reservation downtown. It was pretty busy, but we grabbed a spot at the bar and were greeted quickly. The happy hour deals here are amazing - 1/2 off all cocktails if I remember correctly, which is an awesome deal. Very cozy inside with them playing some old movies, which was a nice touch. Service was quick, as we were in a bit of a rush, but we will definitely stop in again for another drink!

    Really cool spot, Parlor is a bit off the beaten path, but the drinks are amazing! The smokestack, chocolate martinis, the whole crew was thrilled.

    This place was so fun at night. I went around 9:30 pm with a group of friends and we sat and drank, ate, and hung out. The pizza I got was delicious and our server was so nice. I like how they treat it like a hang out place and they don't try and just rush you out of there. Will definitely be back!

    Lighting the smoke chips for the bourbon cocktail.

    Happy Hour, yum. 1/2 price any cocktail, wine or beer. Great value, parking available

    Usually hit the Parlor during happy hour. They have a good drink list and always something interesting to try. The bartenders and wait staff are knowledgeable.

    Tasty chocolate martini!  Highly recommend!

    Loved this place! Happened to stumble upon it. Look for the bartender Will & his side kick Erin. Amazing duo! Will makes AMAZING cocktails! Certainly a new fave spot of ours! Cheers!

    Best cocktails I have had by far! I had the strawberry infused vodka water and my husband had the smoke stack. Highly recommend both!

    So great! Service was prompt and professional. Menu changes daily and is exquisite. I enjoyed the…read moreseafood tasting appetizer which was amazing, fresh lettuce cups, perfect bitter crunch, fresh shrimp. I did catch a few shrimp shells but otherwise perfect. I did add a bit of lime juice and salt for flavor. The bread was delicious! I met a new friend at the bar and she and I enjoyed splitting the Wagyu beef 8 ounce with risotto. This was delicious and perfectly prepared rare with a chat. The risotto gravy was a bit rich for me. I would have loved a steak sauce but enjoyed adding lemon butter. Wonderful all around night before my asylum tour.

    My husband and I came here to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. This was our first date night…read morein over a year after having our baby, so we were really looking forward to a special evening. The restaurant itself had a beautiful, rustic and romantic atmosphere, and the hostess was lovely about accommodating our request for a quieter table. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill once our waitress began taking our order. She initially gave us great wine recommendations and was pleasant while explaining the specials. However, when I decided to order the white pizza instead of the trout because I wanted something lighter, her attitude completely changed. She became noticeably aggressive and dismissive, which made us feel as though we were being judged for choosing a less expensive item from the menu. The service continued to be disappointing. I had to ask for the complimentary bread, and I waited nearly 30 minutes for the second half of my wine. When we asked about it, we were abruptly told that the bar was busy. Her tone throughout the rest of the meal was extremely inconsistent, including literally yelling across the table, "How's the food?" It was so unexpected that my husband and I almost had to laugh. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't make up for the experience. The appetizers were decent, but our mains--the ravioli and white pizza--were very average and lacked flavor. We've been to many fine-dining and Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and we understand that service can occasionally have an off night. What was disappointing here was feeling judged based on what we chose to order. Customers should feel comfortable ordering anything from a restaurant's own menu without being treated differently because of the price. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere and a lot of potential, but given our overall experience, we unfortunately won't be returning or recommending it to family and friends.
