Nearby: North Park Lounge Owner Plans New Location on Southside, Delays Opening of North Hills Restaurant

A new North Park Lounge will open along East Carson Street this summer.

North Park Lounge is coming to Pittsburgh's Southside.

Owner Mark Baranowski said he recently purchased the old Town Tavern at 2009 East Carson Street. He plans to renovate it with a restaurant on the first floor and an entertainment on the second floor.  The North Park Lounge Southside location is scheduled to be open by the end of July or early August.

In addition to the original North Park Lounge at 8701 Babcock Boulevard in McCandless, Baranowski also owns the North Park Lounge and Bamboo bar in Cranberry, the Cabana Bar in Wexford, and Bonnie & Clyde’s in the Pine Tree Shoppes in Wexford.

That's a few months later than originally planned.

"We kept changing the design here and there," said Baranowski. "We want to get it right. It's a big job, we are gutting the entire building."

The restaurant, which will be called Rum Runners Saloon, will have a menu similar to the original North Park Lounge, featuring a wide variety of sandwiches, some entrees, and plenty of appetizers and munchies. It will also feature an area for outdoor dining.
