WOW, what a great joint. Do yourself a favor and visit Bobbie Eight at Takota in Parker…….he's the great owner, operator, and just plain great guy that's there for YOU!!

Have only heard great things lately about this new spot in Parker.. finally a hopping spot with live music every weekend that isn't a biker bar.

Drink prices are very high, no Happy Hour on Fridays, and their draft beer is served in a small 10 or 12oz glass. We were excited to finally have a place near by to visit on the weekend, but will probably drive 2 more minutes into town where there are better deals. Service was average. The view from the patio was the best part – unfortunately that is all.

We were excited to have a sports bar open close to home, but after giving Takota a few chances I doubt it will remain open for long. The food is a typical bar fare and has always been hot, but the service is just plain bad. It's frustrating to have an empty glass sit for ten minutes & see other customers waiting to be served, while watching the staff gathered in the corner talking on their cell phones or with each other, eating, or outside smoking on the front steps. They simply do not care about their customers. I've read some posts above about the owner and his work ethic, and we've seen the same from him. But for whatever reason he lets his staff get away with slacking off, and without repeat customers he'll be closing his doors because of it.

Oh, My God. Someone finally got it. Excellent bar food, good place to meet friends and neighbors, nice patios, drink specials. All ages here.

Open and clean. Bands, TV's, gourmet burgers, bison, and burritos.

Now, that wasn't hard, was it? Way to go Takoda Tavern, we can come out of our ParkerCaves now. It's 2010, let's get back to where we once belonged.

Great location, great service, great food, great music and very cool owner who is on-site. The bartenders, Jen and Houston, are beautiful, smart and wiley! I'd go just to see them and stay for the rest. Killer breath of fresh air from the crappy Tailgate, sleasy Buffalo Boyds and rundown Funugyz.

Went there a few weeks ago shortly after it opened on a Fri or Sat night. It was not too busy at the time and there was a live band playing. It is certainly something different that far south. Sort of the polar opposite of somewhere like the Tailgate. More yuppie, light, clean and new compared to old dark biker bar. Both are fine with me.

Service was not very good. It took too long to put in our first order but it came out fast enough. If you like spicy try the fried jalapeno rings. The initial wait was nothing to how long it took to get refills or to even see our waitress near us. We did see her standing around though. Almost go to the point I felt like yelling "HEY YOU".

Service was not bad enough to not try it again someday.

I was referred to this restaurant by a friend. I went with two of my buddies on a Saturday afternoon. The service was fine, the owner was very engaging and most importantly the food quality was OUTSTANDING! I hope the people who have had a bad experience here, said something to the owner before they left. That's how places get better. I would recommend this place to anyone. I'm going back there tonight. By the way, my grandson loves the Hot Burger. They even gave us a discount because we were veterans.
