The Uptown Lounge: User Reviews

Great Neighborhood Spot

This review as far as I can tell is the only one that is current.. This lounge is a place to go hang out with friends. The bar staff is super friendly, the music on Friday and Saturday nights is amazing. It starts out with chill lounge music, and bumps up at the right time to amazing house music!. On other nights there is a juke box with a ton of selections to fit all needs. It is not a big spot, it is not pretentious, and you can usually always avoid annoying just turned 21 year olds that act like complete tools. Great spot for birthdays or just get togethers with friends. I highly recommend for anyone willing to experience good service, good music, and a spot that should be known for amazing friends. :) (oh, they have decent drink specials, but they are right smack in the middle of the riviera and aragon ball room, so expect top shelf to cost top shelf. But if your willing, the well is not so bad and a good price). Hope to see you there!

Beer List

Their website can't be serious about calling that beer list one for "officianados" to check out. It looks like the one at the U of Toledo student union restaurant.

Cheap drinks? Are you insane? $9.50 for a Black Label on the rocks. It might be cheap if you go at happy hour times (I think it was $5 for a martini around 6pm one night), but if you head over at night or after the other bars close, expect to pay a premium.

This place is great! My wife and I always come here when we're looking to just chill out, drink, and relax. No annoying college kids. No Chads and trixies. Just normal Northside people having a drink and hanging out. The bartenders are always friendly and the drinks are cheap but good. Also, it's just a few feet from the Lawrence L Red Line stop.
