Editorial Review for Uptown Bar & Cafe – by Amy Goetzman
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.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoYou don't have to steal your Uptown logo pint glasses. Buy a bloody mary or screwdriver and you get to keep the glass.
The ExtrasFew people know that the Uptown makes the best sticky buns in town, because they almost always sell out by 9am.
Where to SitIf the sun doesn't hurt your eyes too much, eat out on the patio.

The Uptown Bar and Cafe is fantastic. Breakfast is a favorite. The helpings are large, the prices are reasonable. The hashbrowns are awesome (a requirement for me) the eggs are cooked to requested lack of runnyness as hoped for, and the service is always consistantly good. It's one of the great places in town to see what new amazing combinations of outfits the girls who work there can come up with. There is a wide range of clientelle from families with little kids to groups of people not concerned about gender. Everyone is friendly, and you are assured a glass of water being delivered to you within a couple of minutes of being seated. The indoor seating is cozy and has booths available (a must for us), and the outdoor is right along the sidewalk front for great people-watching. I say two thumbs way up !
Pros: seating/booths, cozy, service, food
Cons: with parking you may need to walk a bit.
