What People Are Saying About Uptown Bar & Cafe

In Short – In the days of yore, the Uptown Bar and Cafe was the boozy, rock-and-roll heart of this hip neighborhood. It still is to many music lovers, and it remains the place to spy local and visiting musicians drinking coffee and devouring plates of pancakes. The place is famous for its tall, strong bloody marys and all-day breakfast items, which is perfect for those who don't get up at the crack of dawn--or anywhere near it.

Horrible Service
by chrisdlux
My husband took me for dinner here one night, bragging about how great the food was when he was there few years back. When we came in, it was about 8:40 pm and we were greeted by the server oddly asking if we were having food. Our response was "yes" and he gave out this huge sigh that made us feel as if we were an inconvenience. He took us to the table and then told us that we have about 10 minutes. I immediately looked at my cell phone to check out the time and started wondering what time they stop serving dinner. I just find it odd to stop serving at 9pm, especially during the summer. He came back about 10 mins later to take our order. My husband ordered sweet potato fries with his burger but when the food came he got French fries. His medium rare burger? Charred to a crisp. We are really not the type of people who would make a big fuss about little things like that. We felt bad to ask them to change it since we know that the kitchen is already closing. But the whole service was just horrible, I had to get up to get my hot sauce on their service stand and our sodas remained unfilled most of the time. And to top it all up, when we get the bill, there seemed to be an extra charge for the sweet potato fries that my husband didn't get. That's when my husband came up to the server and inform him nicely that he actually didn't get the sweet potato fries. He responded, "Oh, it's actually the same price, so it doesn't matter." What a horrible waiter!! Don't you get it?? You made a mistake and the least you could do is apologize.
WE ARE NEVER COMING BACK!!!

Could it get any better! Amazing breakfast and great live music.
You have to know what you are getting in to though... if you don't like the band at night it's hard to escape.
- Pros: B-fast- Local music

GREAT Food, Disgusting Atmosphere
by hage0269
Seriously, this place is GROSS! I love the food. Add in the inexpensive aspect as well as the GENEROUS sizing, this is a keeper. I love it. Parking and ambience are awful but the food is so worthwhile!
