This place used to be a lot better before the rebrand. The old setup had more personality, and the…read morenewer look feels a little more generic. It's not bad, it just lost some of what made it stand out. The food is still really solid though, which is why I keep coming back. The aguachile is one of the best things on the menu, super fresh with a good kick, and the tacos are consistently done right. Simple, clean, and you know what you're getting every time. It's a nice sit-down restaurant if you want to actually relax and eat instead of rushing through a meal. Service is usually solid even when it's busy. Fair warning, it gets packed after church and the wait can build up quick, so timing matters if you don't want to sit around. Not the same as it used to be, but still worth it for the food.

It was good... I ordered the whisky in the jar burger with fries and an Ice tea.. It was a decent burger.. The toppings were tasty, the burger patty itself was a struggle for flavor.. The fries where piping hot and crispy. The fries were actually really good.. They had a nice coating and crisp to them.. I also had an ice tea (brewed ice tea) and it was refreshing for a hot day.. I was in there early for lunch so there wasn't very many people inside.. My server was very friendly and attentive.. The restaurant was clean and the restrooms were as well.. Would I come back? Yes.. The prices were reasonable especially when food in the same parking lot is somewhat close in price, go to fire rock and enjoy the ambiance..

What a terrible first experience at this place. We were here to look at a new home so decided to…read morestop here for a bite to eat before we see our possible new future home. I stood inside for 4-5 minutes without seeing anyone that worked there. So I went to the side of the kitchen where there was a door and saw someone in there. I peaked inside and said hello, and this female staff member lost her marbles and basically said how unacceptable it was that I did that and basically chased me out of the restaurant. I only did that because we had my 83 year old handicap grandfather and our small dog with us on a hot day so I was hoping to just get some water for both of them. Instead she continued to have the worst attitude I ever experienced from a restaurant staff member. To the owners, I highly recommend you watch tape of her attitude towards me, and watch my poor grandfather have to hobble out of your establishment due to your terrible employee. She claimed to be the only one working so it should be easy to figure out who she is, she didn't have a name tag on. She should be fired. We were there today, which is 6-1-26 at 11:40am if you have any aspiration to better your business, I encourage you to watch camera footage of her terrible attitude towards your customers. We'll never be back but you should honestly fire her.

Absolutely loved our last minute find at Uptowner Pub and Patio!…read more We stumbled across this cozy, cabin-like gem (with the help of the Yelp app of course) while visiting family in town. Honestly, the only thing I regret is not finding it sooner in the day. We had mediocre drinks and food at restaurant nearby and needed to cleanse our palettes with quality beer. Uptowner is a bit tucked away down a driveway with another building in front, but it's worth seeking out! There's a small parking lot to the right of the patio, which was super convenient for us. As soon as we walked up, we felt welcomed by the warm, all-wood cabin vibes and the friendly presence of a couple of locals hanging out on the outdoor patio. The wraparound bar inside is gorgeous, and their tap list blew me away. Over 20 options, including ciders and sours! If beer isn't your thing, they also offer soju cocktails, plus cans and cool specialty drinks in glass bottles to-go. Their restrooms are single occupancy and located behind saloon-style swinging doors, such a fun touch! Everything was super clean and well-maintained. I want to highlight something I noticed in other reviews: Steve, the owner, absolutely does NOT deserve the negative feedback. Yes, he might come across as a bit stern at first, but he's really customer-focused and easy to talk to. Maybe on a busy night, things get hectic, but we chatted with him about the bar's history and surviving COVID. He was welcoming and gracious, and even let us finish our drinks in peace at closing. He made us feel genuinely valued. Can't wait to come back, and we're already planning a trip just for Uptowner. Thank you, Steve, for a memorable evening in a truly unique spot! Highly recommended.

I love how they constantly introduce really fresh and unique along with the tried and true- sourced from local breweries that are always high quality. They recently introduced liquor and their menu is crazy amazing! The atmosphere is perfect. You don't walk in and feel out of place ever! I love that the most! It's super rare- There is karaoke, trivia pool tables and tournaments-There is live music, and other live shows. The music and drinks are phenomenal but it's the atmosphere, inclusive welcoming energy and service that is truly what makes this place stand apart from other bars. I mean if there even is any.... lol- I just would never go anywhere else- they have ruined me for any other venue. All of the others are just noise and cliched to death. This place is beyond bad ass! . It is clean, the art is fabulously one of a kind. It is small but not too small. It's sporty, but not too sporty, its dance and live DJ's are something else. If you get the chance to watch Jon or Leo- well you are witnessing genius at its finest. It's literally perfect. They have drinks that are non-alcoholic that are amazing that you can't find anywhere else. They have fabulous food. Jon is absolutely the main attraction he makes you feel like you're the only person there while doing 20 million other things. It's a true talent. Both him and the other owner Emil, are really cool people. Jon is hilarious. He is engaging. He is generous. He is knowledgeable and made every time me and my friends get a night out- the best time!!!!it's our first and only choice!!!!. Even if we have to drive 30 minutes- so worth it! It is the best kept secret in Southern California. But it shouldn't be- there is just something about this place that is hard to describe. It's perfect, and I cannot say enough about the experience . I mean after all isn't that what going out is for?!!!it's so incredibly creative as a business - so much fun- so much value- so much thought has gone into what they offer- so much work has had to have gone into this establishment. -the place has its own little buzz- and it's where the freaks/ the nerds- the too cool for school peeps- the young- the old- the artsy and refined- and the ones who wanna just dance- all co-exist. It's a pretty amazing feeling to see this happen!!!! I met Jon's wife, Mallory, and she has done a lot of the interior design- and she is the quintessential cool, gorgeous, ahead of her time, type of person. If I took this much time to write a review about the sheer pleasantry of The Champion, it's because it is well deserved!!!! Thanks guys!!!! Can't wait till next time!!! Thanks again for the best night out every time I walk through the doors!!!!

I came here for the first time after a stressful few weeks, and I absolutely loved the…read moreexclusiveness and hidden-away feeling this place offers. For most of the night, I had a great time minding my own business, watching videos quietly on my phone in a corner of the bar. As I was getting ready to leave, a random guy sitting nearby asked me to lower the volume on my phone. Whether he intended to be polite or not, it felt condescending, territorial, and completely unnecessary. They were speaking louder than my phone, yet somehow my phone was the issue. It honestly felt like a case of "local syndrome," where someone felt empowered to tell me what to do in a place that isn't theirs. I didn't want to create a scene, so I generously tipped the bartender and left. But I was genuinely upset that I was told to be quiet while I was simply minding my own business in a corner. The place itself does not deserve a bad review because of the actions of one customer. However, if this person is in any way connected to management or staff, I would seriously reconsider my rating and change it to one star--something I never done before. I think a little more compassion and understanding toward fellow customers would go a long way.

Hey Brian, I wanted…read moreto reach out about something that happened tonight that I feel you should know about. I also want to be clear that all of this transpired after you had already left for the evening. For context, I'm a regular at the bar and have been coming in for quite a while. I've never had a major issue with Brent or Steven, even though they both have personalities that can come across as sarcastic or abrasive. I've generally let it go because my reason for coming to the bar is simple: I come in to have a few beers, relax, and enjoy myself. Tonight, while I was still drinking one of my beers and had some left in the glass, Brent came by and took it away as if I was finished. I jokingly said something along the lines of, "I guess you're not going to let me finish the last bit." I wasn't upset and wasn't trying to start an argument. It was an obvious mistake that could have been solved with a simple apology. Instead, he responded with a snarky comment rather than acknowledging the mistake. Later, he brought another beer to my table. I made eye contact with him and before I could even say anything, he asked, "Do you want to say something to me?" I replied, "No, I just wanted to say thank you." His response was, "Your eyes are telling me differently." Again, I found that unnecessarily confrontational and disrespectful. At that point, I decided to leave a $0 tip. I normally tip very well, often around 30% or more, and this was the first time I've intentionally left no tip because I wanted to send a message that I was unhappy with the way I was being treated. After that, Steven came over and confronted me about leaving no tip. He asked if I was really zeroing it out and questioned me about whether something had happened between me and Brent. I told him that whatever issue I had was not his concern, and he responded, "Fair enough." I assumed that would be the end of it. Instead, Brent came outside and confronted me. He told me Steven had said I had a problem with him. I explained that I didn't have a personal problem with him; my issue was his attitude and the way he was treating me as a customer. Rather than listening, he became increasingly hostile. I reminded him that I'm a customer and that I'm only there to buy beer from the business. I'm not there to deal with sarcasm, attitude, or an employee's emotions. As a paying customer, the minimum I expect is basic respect. I shouldn't have to walk on eggshells or accept being spoken to disrespectfully while simply trying to enjoy a beer. That confrontation ended poorly and he went back inside. A short time later, he came back out and confronted me again, this time in front of other customers. The situation became even more uncomfortable because it was happening publicly. During that exchange, he ultimately told me that I was not welcome back. Again, I reminded him that I am a paying customer whose only purpose in being there is to support the business and enjoy a beer. I should not be getting into arguments with employees, being confronted in front of other patrons, or being told I'm not welcome because I expressed concerns about how I was being treated. The bigger issue is that, in my opinion, this isn't just about tonight. This has been months in the making. I've noticed a pattern with both Brent and Steven where they seem to have become comfortable treating customers with attitude and sarcasm in ways that shouldn't be acceptable in a customer-facing role. I've overlooked it many times because I enjoy the bar and didn't think it was worth making an issue out of. On the other hand, employees like Kim, Josh, and David have always treated me and other customers with professionalism and respect. They know how to joke around while still making customers feel welcome. I've never had an issue with them. From my perspective, the problem is specifically Brent and, to a lesser extent, Steven. Brent especially has developed a demeanor that I find unwelcoming, confrontational, and disrespectful toward customers. I don't think I'm the only person who feels this way. Tonight was simply the point where it crossed a line. I'm not sending this because I want anyone fired or punished. I simply think you should know what happened, especially since it all occurred after you had left. I've spent a lot of time and money at your establishment over the years, and I would hope that customers--especially regulars--can expect basic courtesy and respect from the people serving them. I wanted to give you my side of the story directly. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
