Par28 — Restaurant in Salem

I recently visited Par 28, hoping for a great night of entertainment, but unfortunately, my experience was far from enjoyable. The concept seemed promising, but the execution was severely lacking.

First, let’s talk about the food. I ordered a pizza, expecting a well-balanced combination of sauce, cheese, and crust. What I received was a disappointment—barely any cheese, leaving me with what felt like dry, bland bread with tomato paste. It was as if they had run out of cheese but decided to serve it anyway. For the price, I expected much better quality.

Then, there’s the golf simulator—or lack of accuracy in one. The simulator was glitchy and unreliable, failing to register shots correctly and often lagging mid-game. For a place that markets itself as a premium golf simulator experience, I expected something far more refined. Instead, it felt like a frustrating guessing game rather than an enjoyable activity.

And if that wasn’t enough, the Wi-Fi was nearly useless. In a place designed for socializing and entertainment, you’d think they would invest in a stable connection. Instead, the Wi-Fi barely worked, making it difficult to check scores, connect with friends, or even look up anything online.

Overall, Par 28 falls short in nearly every category—subpar food, a faulty golf simulator, and an unreliable internet connection. If they focused on improving the fundamentals instead of just marketing the experience, it might actually be worth visiting. Until then, I’d recommend looking elsewhere for both entertainment...

We had a blast Axe Throwing, it was our first time there! The iPad’s to sign waivers are located right at the front east to find when you walk in. However, it was a little unclear as to where to go to check in and nobody greeted us at the front so we stood there looking around for a couple of minutes. It was a Monday holiday and it was not busy in there. The atmosphere is nice, and the Axe throwing is located in the back. After being situated at a table by waitstaff the server told us that an instructor for the axe throwing would be over in a minute… we waited almost 10 and then the instructor came over after a second separate party for axe throwing arrived. (That is why I’m giving the service 4 stars instead of 5.) The price per person for axe throwing is on point and cheaper the more people you add to your group (up to 4 in one lane I believe.) drinks were good, game was fun and the wings were good! Cost around $240 total for 3 of us after 2 drinks each wings and 1 hour of throwing.

Maybe we’ll come back on a busier weekend day, overall the staff was pleasant and we...

I was very disappointed with my recent experience here. We sat at the bar and received absolutely terrible service from a bartender (tall skinny kid). He asked if we wanted anything as we were sitting down, so we asked for a minute. Even though he wasn't very busy he just wouldn't come back to our end of the bar. After literally 15 min of trying to get a drink, we were about to get up and leave but fortunately another bartender came on duty and took our order. I got a margarita, and it was 4 oz of drink at best, served in a tiny little glass loaded with ice. We ordered wings to start. They were terrible. Obviously slow cooked and extremely tender, but then just tossed in a sauce, no crispiness at all,.like they weren't fried. And they came with a pile of large Parmesan shavings, like really big ones you'd find in a salad. It was not obvious how that was supposed to work with a chicken wing. Very weird. Between the bad service, bad drinks, and bad wings we had had enough and...
