Description

Like the other Taverns, the Tavern Uptown draws a sizable nightly crowd from the surrounding neighborhoods. Those twenty- and thirty-something professionals pack into the dark bar and expansive back patio for drink specials, televised sporting events and socializing. While many come just for the beers and the party -- which is more mellow Uptown than at the Downtown counterpart -- this Tavern also does a substantial dinner business, serving up a menu of American classics. It also has a popular brunch, when those who spent the previous night getting plowed can return to the scene of their undoing for eggs and bacon and a Bloody Mary.

  • 2006 | BEST BOWLING ALLEY IN A BAR

    The Back Alley, a tiny, two-lane bowling alley tucked at the back of the Uptown Tavern, looks like it was made for munchkin ravers. But "Thunder Bowl" is a genius alternative to darts or Golden Tee. Each glow-in-the-dark lane can accommodate six people, and the bowling balls are just five inches in diameter and weigh only 3.5 pounds -- which means lifting one is almost as easy as raising a full mug of beer. And no bowling shoes are required on these hardwood floors. Although alcohol greatly... More »
