Really good food and drinks; service was a little slow, but they were very friendly and clearly pumped to work there. The beet sliders are solid and I’m a meatatarian.
Bottom line:Extensive cocktail menu, small bites to share, as well as a full dinner menu, and indoor-outdoor setting make a great happy hour spot. Dog-friendly patio. Brunch seems to be a major attraction, as well.Details:We missed lunch after a long day at the zoo, so popped in at Uptown Tavern for an early happy hour and bites to eat. We had the Sutter Smash (delicious), and the Xocoveza from Stone Brewing. Our food took a little while, but we had fun people watching and nursing our drinks. The veggie sliders (beet patties with goat cheese) and fries were excellent, and I'd definitely order again. The 5-spice wings were a bit of a miss for me. I was hoping they'd be more spice-forward, but the Mister thought they were fine. Weirdly, they were served with pickled ginger, which didn't compliment the flavor, but it was easily picked off. I'd stick to the traditional buffalo wings. The rest of the menu looked promising, but we didn't want to spoil our dinner reservations for later in the night. Note that street parking is very limited, so allow for time to circle around if you're meeting friends. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood!
My favorite appetizer, the beets sliders! All the staff are always exceptional Great place to hang with friends or making new friends. Gather at the bar or be seated, you will be well taken care of. I was a regular when I lived in the neighborhood, now I stop by everytime I'm in town.
Unpretentious gay bar in the heart of Hillcrest. Visited many times and staff are always friendly, including security on the door. Good array of drinks and really superb cocktails.
Great vibe and cool staff. On my list when I do the occasional bar hop around the gayborhood. The food is pretty good too, great place for groups.
Love it all! A must visit!
Staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was very inviting
Brussel sprouts were great!
Came for brunch, enjoyed some drinks, food, and conversations with friends. Wasn't too crowded midday, but lively enough to feel like you're out and about.
Another great neighborhood bar with a friendly staff and good food.
