This bar is awesome. Pregamed here before the Rebelution show. They had the reggae jams on & walked into Pepper which I appreciate. The bartender was on it. Glasses, silver fox LOL thank you!

After the Kraftwerk show at the Aragon, the DJ played killer music, King Crimson, Eno, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, all in a row...Drinks a little pricey...but making up for the Pandemic!🎸🍻

Cam and Jen were great! Highly Reccomend going there instead of waiting in hour line for concert.. Also get fast passes for 30$.

Great neighborhood bar. Real low key. Great for after a show at the Aragon or before one at the Green Mill.

Awesome all inclusive neighborhood bar that is the Uptown Cheers equivalent for those of us that live near by. They make everyone feel welcome, loyal to those loyal to them and will make every effort to ensure a fun, safe and enjoyable time is had by all.

Came in because I saw a sign that says they sell 6packs of beer to go. I went in and didn't know which beers to choose so the bartender helped me pick a nice variety of beers and I was not dissapointed. He was even nice enough to let me know that I can get a 6pack from a liquor store for half the price if I was willing to walk 10 minutes away but I told him I was in a rush and left him a decent tip for being so kind and helpful.

The owner Jen is AMAZING! You can tell she really cares about her bar and her customers. I love an owner that's as involved as Jen. 10/10 would recommend!

Low key type of bar. I visited on a Sunday night, and I can honestly only give it a review for that specific time of the week. Not a bad place to grab a drink with a friend, or a date. Quite and cozy.

Great neighborhood bar. Good specials on some days of the week and they have karaoke nights often. I like that is open late and has a low key vibe.

Best late bar in the neighborhood. They also sell beers to go which is nice when you don’t feel like walking a ways to get late night beer for the house.

Fun time singing and be silly and I loved that I could order food to be delivered right to my table in a timely manner from a third party. Such a smart idea. Save money on staff, kitchen appliances wear and tear, labor... Just hire a third party to deliver good bar food in a timely and technologically professional manner.The venue was clean, the staff was very nice, and the karaoke guy was super nice and fun too. I don't normally like karaoke but this place was great and I'd do it again!

Sells six packs of domestics until closing. Perfect for industry people like me that don't get off until after liquor stores have closed. Is pretty popular for bar patrons so there's almost always a crowd. Staff is bucking but always friendly! Great karaoke!

Ahhhhh! Karaoke hunty! This my go to spot. Dj is fkn awesome and has some great skills on te mic too. He will find a song even if it's not in the book , if he can't he may reccomend something else by same artist. Cozy, dimly lit ( for the shy folks) but it really gets cracking after midnight on the weekends. Very supportive crowd. Cheap drinks, def my fav.

Love this place! Has a local neighborhood feel. You'll see the same friends and new faces week after week. With karaoke, live bands, and other exciting events there's always something going on at Uptown Lounge! Come alone or bring your party. You'll have fun either way!

A good place to relax and have a drink or two. They have great specials throughout the week along with karaoke nights. And you don't want to miss the burlesque show when it comes through!

Decent place to hangout with friends for drinks. Karaoke was enjoyable and fun. Drinks are reasonable. The only con for me is no food. Could be a great after work hangout if they had at least some small bites/plate options. However, I do think they allow you to order/bring food.
