Par·lay/ˈpärˌlā,ˈpärˌlē/
by formal definition is to maneuver something of advantage to receive something else of much greater value.
Par·lay/ˈpärˌlā,ˈpärˌlē/
by informal definition is to chill out; sit around, relax, and stay for a while.
PARLAY Savory Saloon is a new restaurant concept, formed in the 3rd quarter of 2019, created by visionaries who are willing to parlay all of their professional experience into building an incredible venue that will invite guests to share, savor, sip, and be inclined to parlay.
PARLAY Savory Saloon was created out of both a passion to provide amazing dining and social experiences and to address the current void in the market in Metro-Atlanta for mid-career professionals. PARLAY, because of its unique characteristics, is the prime dining and entertainment solution to:
- Share – Good fun, great energy, and positive vibes!
- Savor – Delicious full menu with a comfort flair!
- Sip – Amazing signature and craft libations!
PARLAY Savory Saloon is a mid-scale, service-driven, local restaurant that differentiates ourselves by consistently exceeding our guests' expectations. We provide a space for guests to feed their bodies, minds, senses, and spirits. Our food comforts, our sips tantalize, our service is unmatched, and our positive energy is contagious. Our guests are sure to return to visit us regularly. That is a bet we are willing to make over and over again!
...then there was a global pandemic………
As PARLAY was in the process of solidifying a brick and mortar location, the temperature of the world literally rose, forcing us to rethink our strategy and adjust the business model. Instead of looking at the challenges as a “setback”, we decided to view them as a “setup” for even greater success! Because of the timing, we were able to be protected from all of the elements that would have made a 1st quarter 2020 opening devastating and essentially impossible. We are blessed and favored beyond measure and are extremely grateful and used the time to be innovative and resourceful. After much processing, prayer, and supplication, we’ve decided to take a phased and multi-market approach to opening:
Phase 1: PARLAY presents reLAX, an intimate private dining experience with plated Savory courses and Sip pairings. These are custom menus created by epicures for epicures. Contact us today and let us curate an event to remember for you and your guests!
Phase 2: PARLAY goes mobile and offers Savory solutions via a Food Truck that will be coming to a neighborhood near you! Contact us today to book!
Phase 3: PARLAY welcomes you to our permanent home! Opening and location TBD, stay tuned…
We are excited to serve you and look forward to you enjoying our signature takes on regional comfort food classics! Until we meet, be blessed, stay well, and love, love, and love some more!
