We are very happy to announce that the third Parson's Chicken and Fish location is now open in Nashville, Tennessee! The Nashville Parson's brings everything we know and love about the two Chicago locations down to Music City; the patio, the grub, and—of course—plenty of Original Negroni Slushies.
The original Parson’s opened in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood in 2013, and a second location followed in 2018 in Lincoln Park. Since the opening, the bar and restaurant has racked up awards and accolades, including being named one of Chicago’s best new restaurants by Bon Appétit, and best Chicago restaurant for summer nights by Travel + Leisure. A favorite for locals and travelers alike, Parson's was founded as a testament to the idea that eating and drinking can be affordable, delicious, and fun.
We're excited to bring the same vibes down to Nashville. The build-out, which echoes the design of the two Chicago locations, was done by acclaimed Nashville-based architecture and interior design studio DAAD. The building is part of the May Hosiery Coop, an historic former sock mill located just a mile south of downtown Nashville.
The new space features a massive patio complete with our signature umbrellas and ping pong, an outdoor shipping container bar (the same that served Parson's Logan Square for all those hot patio summers!), covered outdoor patio seating, and an indoor dining room and bar with garage doors.
Parson's Nashville features all your favorites from Chicago, plus some new additions like a griddle burger, chicken nuggets (yes) and a selection of local, Nashville beers. Parson's Hot Sauce made the trip south, as did our collaboration with Revolution Brewing, Parson's Beer.
Come see us next time you're in Nashville!
We’re hiring for the summer! We’re looking to fill a variety of positions at Parson’s Chicken and Fish for patio season, including bartenders, food runners, buses, hosts, and line cooks, at both our classic Logan location and the brand new Lincoln Park digs!

Here's a little roundup of some of the nice things people have been saying about LSD in the press! Thanks to everyone who included us.
Parson's Chicken & Fish Lincoln Park was included in Eater's best new bar heatmap for March (for the third month in a row!) Check that out here.
The Infatuation published a guide on where to go for "fake spring" and Lonesome Rose was on the list. Read that here.
Chicago Sun Times' journalist Ji Suk Yi does an online piece called The Grid where she explores different neighborhoods and cuisines and recently did one in Logan Square of Mexican & Latin food options. Lomesome Rose was included, you can read that here.
Reader's Digest published a piece on the best speakeasies inside of hotels and Milk Room was included. Check it out.
Liquor.com released their 2019 best bars feature called "Drink Here Now" and a handful of our spots were included in numerous categories. Longman & Eagle for "Whiskey," Milk Room for "Whiskey", and Lost Lake for "Rum, Cocktail, Tiki, The Team Players, The Food Slingers." The map is really cool and interactive, check it out!
Our Beverage Director Paul McGee recently shared Cherry Circle Room's "That's That" martini recipe with Imbibe and it's featured on their site here.
Parson’s Chicken and Fish now has a second location in Lincoln Park!
Located just north of the intersection of Fullerton, Halsted and Lincoln (2435 N Halsted St), the new location features an open kitchen, 110 table seats, 30 bar seats, bleacher space for drinking, ping pong tables, and a patio space ready for spring.
All of Chef Hunter Moore’s much loved fried and fresh offerings are available at the new location, as well as beverage director Charlie Schott’s slushies, cocktails, beer and wine. Parson’s Lincoln Park has the same hours as the Logan Square location (11am - 12am Monday - Friday, 10am - 12am Saturday and Sunday), which means Lincoln Park will get brunch and late night eats daily, plus happy hour Monday - Friday from 3pm - 6pm and Tuesday Burger Nights.
Designed by Land and Sea Dept., Parson’s Lincoln Park space features a soaring vaulted ceiling and skylights throughout, bringing tons of natural light (and patio vibes) inside, plus huge planters and garage doors that will be open once warm weather hits.
See you guys there.
Come have a chimichanga at Parson’s Halsted—every Wednesday night is DEAD NIGHT with your hosts Eric Clarke and Turbo, who will be playing both sides of their favorite Dead concerts on cassette. (Note: The bank parking lot next door is tempting but please do NOT set up shop, they WILL tow your stickered-up Subaru.)
Keep truckin’!
Earlier this year, the Parson’s team collaborated with El Buho Mezcal on a limited edition bottling of a Parson’s Mezcal, and to celebrate we’re having an industry hang on Monday, July 16!

Come join us for an afternoon of mezcal and good ol’ fashion chooglin to support a great cause!
Join us at Parson’s on Saturday, June 16th for the third annual block party! We’re gonna welcome summer the best way we know how- CHOOGLIN’.

Music from DJ Dan Maloney, DJ Dave Mata & Mama Mata, and a set from from Flamingo Rodeo! We’ll be collecting school supplies for Association House of Chicago as a suggested donation for entry.

Introducing…Parson’s Beer!

Served in a custom red and white can designed by the LSD Art Dept., Parson’s Beer is available now, but only at Parson’s – so come on in to try one for yourself.
