  Been here multiple times and have yet to be disappointed! It's great for any occasion, a weeknight casual dinner, or weekend out day drinking with friends! It's also good if you want to go just for drinks or for drinks and food. They have decently priced drinks and their pizzas are all delicious.
  
  If it's nice out, definitely go up to the rooftop, it's adorable with lots of seating and an additional bar. But if not, the inside is also just as cute and fun to hangout at!

  I really enjoy this place for a casual dinner! The vibe is really cute with twinkle lights and a cool bar set up. It's also nice that it's primarily 21+, unless kiddos have a guardian. Their pizza is pretty standard. It's good and they have some fancy ones  if Chicago is a tough place to have really good pizza. It's like hipster pizza which hits the spot when that's what you're craving.
  
  The jalapeño homies keep me coming back though. They're essentially jalapeño poppers that are not breaded or fried and they're amazing. I started making them at home, they're so so good. I also really enjoyed their cheesy bread appetizer.
  
  Service was meh the first time and amazing the second, so just like any restaurant. Definitely give it a try! Great vibes for a first date.

  My second time coming to Paradise Park... I'll write a review. First time I came here was on a Sunday at 7pm. The place was pretty empty but the food and drinks were good! The second time I came here was on a Saturday at 9pm and the place was packed. My party of 4 waited about 30 min for a table but we kept ourselves entertained with the giant Jenga game they have.
  
  The atmosphere is great. The lights are so cool all around the place and there are TVs to catch up with the games going on. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. So I would love to give this place five stars but I will only give them four because the area where we were seated had lots of drunk people crowded around bumping into us while we were trying to eat and drink. The staff themselves couldn't get by the crowd so I'd wish they would have said something or ask them to move away from the tables to an area where there was more room for the crowd to dance without trying to bump into people.

  Such a cool place and SO worth the hype and Instagramable decor! When I first came here, I was amazed by how beautiful all of the lights and decor was. The patio is huge and the inside is pretty big, too! They also have a rooftop, but I've never been up there yet. Walking through the gates of this bar is like walking into the Alice in Wonderland Garden. Absolutely gorgeous with a jungle of hanging plants, and a huge disco ball. I can only imagine the type of events they must have here on weekend nights because it's one of a kind. I know I need to come here during the holidays because if this is how the place looks in the summer, I cannot imagine how amazing it looks near Christmas.
  
  Service here is amazing. It is always busy, but the servers are so helpful, nice, and quick. For such a beautiful place and for a bar in the middle of a busy area full of young adults, drinks are inexpensive. I lived on White Claws when I came here, hut they have a lot of beer and cocktails to choose from.
  
  The PIZZA. OMG the pizza was awesome. They have so many specialty pizzas you can choose from and even if you still aren't satisfied with those, you can make your own pizza with any of the ingredients on the menu. There are different sauces to choose from, too! My boyfriend and I love the pepperoni pizza and we love when cilantro is on it. Also, the cheesy sticks are super good, but I was hoping they'd be mozzarella sticks and instead it was cheesy bread sticks. They were very good, but it was too much bread when we had a pizza coming. I suggest getting a medium pizza if you and one other person are sharing, btw. Perfect amount. A small is a little larger than an individual size pizza, but if you're starving, I'm sure you can finish it.
  
  You can bring your dog here, too! We were staring at a cute dog more than half of our dinner. I love places that allow dogs and we were sitting at a high table, so it's not like the dog could bother us when eating.
  
  If you don't get anything but this, you NEED to try the S'more Skillet. Best dessert I have ever had in my entire life, and that says a lot because I don't like much dessert or order it at most places. It melts in your mouth and makes you crave more... and more beer hahaha suuuuuper sweet.
  
  There is no doubt I will be back, and I am so happy that my friends wanted to come here. Great experience all around!

  I loved this place! Came here for a birthday brunch, and the staff and everyone was very accommodating and friendly. We ended up being a really big group, bigger than should fit at one long table, but the staff helped us move some stuff around and got us all seated. Some people got the bottomless mimosas, and our waitress was ALWAYS on point with refills. As far as waitresses go, she was amazing, especially because we were so many people.
  
  I had ordered a cider, the potato skins, and shared a medium Smoke Show pizza with my friend. We were slightly disappointed by the potato skins for their price, but I can definitely say the flavors were phenomenal together, so I guess that's what you pay for - quality not quantity. The pizza, however, filled us both up with some leftover, and it was by far one of the best pizzas I've ever had. This place definitely understands flavor and isn't afraid to try out new combos! Would absolutely come back here and try some other dishes!
