After five long years, one of the Northside’s most historic bars is back open for business, with new owners and refreshed interior
The Park House, which has been in business since 1933, reopened its doors on Dec. 5 last month, marking its return since it closed in 2020. The date of reopening was a poignant one, as it was Repeal Day, the day when the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed and Prohibition was ended.
New owners Michelle and Gary Lynch purchased the bar in 2021, having already become owners of the building in which The Park House resided. Upon its closure, The Park House as a business was put up for sale, but failed to find a buyer until the Lynch’s stepped in.
They’ve spent the intervening years investing in many renovations at The Park House. However, patrons at the bar will find it looking very similar to how it used to be.
“We’re hoping it won’t look too different,” said Michelle, adding that most of the renovations were “things people won’t see.”
