Parallel Party Bar

Parallel Party Bar is a wine, craft beer and whiskey bar with a bistro menu of shareable snacks, burgers, sandwiches, flatbreads and larger plates. The menu leans on bourbon and Wagyu, with duck fat fries, bacon lollipops and a rotating list of cheese and charcuterie boards. Boozy brunch runs on weekends, and the bar offers $4 and $6 happy hour pours seven days a week.

The bar keeps a long list of more than 80 wines by the glass, 100-plus craft beers and 300-plus bourbons and whiskies. Hours can shift around private events, so check before a weeknight visit. Parallel hosts private events such as luncheons, showers, dinner parties and celebrations, and it sells gift cards online. Reservations and a waitlist are handled through the website.
