👋 Taylor is here. Parlay Sporting Club + Kitchen positions itself as not just a place to eat and drink, but Play.
- There’s Skee-Ball and bartop ring tozing around the corner, and soon, a betting shop for sports betting.
UghWhen I went to lunch, the kiosk wasn’t available yet, shortly after Ohio’s sports betting program went live, so I couldn’t actually make a parlay reservation at Parlay.
context: Parlays are multi-range bets that require each component to hit in order to win a substantial bonus.
Game status: Here are the sure bets: you’ll find any live sporting event in the world on Parlay’s tens of thousands of TVs, just as you’ll find something suitable on its extensive lunch, brunch and dinner menus.
yes, but: Expect to pay for the privilege. The pulled chicken nachos appetizer and beer set me back $25.
- I know it attracts certain customers — Parlay offers $9 valet parking, across from the posh Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse — But there’s a reason cock joints are always packed.
atmosphere check: The service is friendly, but the loud, decade-old club music during the day makes the sports bar feel a bit off.
last word: I want to come back on game day when the stakes fly like drinks.
- Heck, if you’re really lucky, you can walk out First.
If you go: 570 N. High St., open daily from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.
