15 November 2024 Recently made it back to UpBar. Last year when I tried to go with my cousin, the kiosks were down and we ended up at the Foundry instead. My bartender was Bryce. With the holidays around the corner, I was shocked at how moody, dark and dismal the place looked. It's a hotel bar at that so even more shocking. I felt it needed festive decorations like most bars and restaurants have during this time of the year. I had the Butterfly Tears to start. It was a tequila based drink with lemon juice and simple syrup. It was supposed to be topped with a dehydrated orange per the description but was served with a lime. Bryce entertained my idea of a mistletoe margarita and followed the recipe I showed him with the limited garnishings he had and it was bleh. So then I saw all the Strawberry Mojitos being sold and how red and pretty they looked and asked if he could just decorate that into a festive drink and he did and it was amazing! We called it the Strawberry Mojito Mistletoe. I needed something to snack on and decided to go with the basket o'fries. When they sat it down in front of me, I immediately felt like they were overly air fried and mostly inedible for $12. I'm not one to send stuff back so I picked through separating the edible ones from the burnt ones. I was left with 40% of my fries. I grabbed a few pics on the rooftop and watched Bryce make a flight. I felt the service was excellent but the food isn't worth the cost or at least mine wasn't that night. #UpBar
I came here for my birthday on a Monday night and it wasn't too bad of an experience. While I did enjoy the wings, I didn't like the nachos much. The drinks were great and we took advantage of happy hour. It was pretty crowded that night because it was R&B Night, but it was a great time! I would just say better food options!
Some Of the best late night tacos you will find in STL. Upbeat is one of those need to know bases type places for me every time I bring it up whole Are like whaaaat there's a bar up there? Yes the food is good and the drinks are strong with plenty of seating inside, outside and at the bar from the view to the atmosphere you will not leave disappointed
Drinks are severely overpriced. $17 for a strawberry mojito. It was an event night so I guess that means only nachos are served. Folks who can't eat that be damned. The staff is very attentive and the bar girls are very nice. This is my second time here and the menu has been an issue every time. I've been invited here never came on my own. Can't say that I'll have too either. OAN. I don know what time they open but my shoes are sticking to the floor so bad I'm scared imma walk out of them and fall. Ambiance is absolutely chill. Beautiful views of STL. Great photo opportunities for the photo lovers.
We went in for happy hour. The view was really nice. That was the best part about the venue and only reason I ranked three. The view can not carry a place alone. I ordered a margarita flight and was very excited as usually you do not get flight with margaritas. It would have been helpful if the staff said tell you which flavor is which or if the flight would have been labeled. 2 of the 4 drinks were okay only one which I believe was mango was good. The flight was $25 and I do not mind the price but the communication of flavors just would have helped. Service was ok. Didn't order food as it was a very limited menu and there was not anything of interest to us.
Order: old Fashion Four Roses Garlic Parm Wings Pros: the bartender made a GREAT old fashion! It was really really good! Cons: they were out of Nachos. Garlic parm wings werent very garlic(ie).
What a beautiful location! Located in the heart of St. Louis in Midtown. I recommend valet parking if you can. Rooftop is so beautiful and scenic. Service was great we had a great waitress and she was super friendly and helped w menu selection. We tried 2 different flights which were the Margarita flight and the Lemonade stand flight. The drinks tasted a tad bit watered down and possibly pre-mixed not made to order bc i tried asking for a different vodka and tequila and waitress mentioned they can't be modified. Also it was a hot day so maybe ice just melted quick but nothing to stop me from going again. We went on a Tuesday and they had a guest chef making Birria tacos which were amazing, tender beef and queso w consomé . We also tried the chicken Philly wrap was delicious too!
Loved this little cocktail lounge on top of a hotel! The bartenders were all friendly and super knowledgeable. I got to learn about how they picked the name and descriptions for each drink. I personally went for the Butterfly tears drink and was made with perfection! Jo was the one working and she took her time and made sure the presentation plus taste was up to their standards. The view is wonderful and this is a place to meet up with your friends or loved one!
Had a lovely night out on the rooftop patio of UpBar. Lots of points for atmosphere. Very nice feel to the place - upscale chill. The seating is comfortable and varied. It's not a huge place, but it's big enough to comfortably host small to medium groups. Music was a bit loud and a little difficult to hear over because of the speakers being directly over the seats, but the shade from the building was nice. Service was really quick and our server was super friendly. She was great. Lots of drink options including cocktail flights which I haven't seen elsewhere. Only downside with the main cocktail flight was that the cocktails weren't what they were called - as in, they had traditional drink names but some were the bar's version of the drink, not the "official" drink. For example, a Rugburn is typically Irish cream, coffee liqueur, and whiskey but here it was cranberry juice and Jameson. They should maybe add descriptions of the flight drinks on the menu. We didn't get much food but those who did order were happy. It's pricey but on par with other rooftop bars. Basically elevated bar food. Tip: visit early. They don't take reservations so if it's a Friday or Saturday night, you'll have to wait awhile. We showed up at 5:30 and there was no wait.
V cool place with great vibe a d exceptional service. Check out their active social media for great weekly deals.
I really like this place! The view is amazing! It's a different feel for this part of town, and it's close enough to CWE that I can drive my golf cart here. I love the ambiance and the fireplace outside. The heaters make it a great place to hang out, even when it's cold. I also love the music! Just my vibe! They have a variety of flights that I'm excited to try, and I've heard the food is good! (If it's not, I will update this post with my review of the food.)
Went here on a date night and it was amazing. The view from the roof was incredible. The drinks were good, not watered down, but the food was not all that good. They were out of wings and the chicken nachos were not as good as I was hoping. But I will say, the customer service, music and vibe certainly made up for it!
Voting for drinks only and service only! As I didn't eat there. Quite frankly, it would be nice if they had some kind of a snack menu, but there was only a very small limited brunch menu on Sunday and they closed so early (2pm!) so we didn't have a chance to eat. But let's talk drinks! Bottomless mimosas for only $15, and an option for 4 different flavors totally made me happy! My girlfriend took a blueberry beer (yuk I know) but she LOVED IT! And they even put fresh blueberries in it per her request. Our friend had a blueberry vodka with bubbles drink and said it was delicious and strong! This is only for $8 Service was fast and friendly and the bar is beautiful rooftop looking over the foundry and SLU. Please don't go on Sunday morning so I have a seat for my happy self

We can hear after a show (Lady Bunny) at City Winery. We went to the Upbar for a night cap and great atmosphere. Upbar provided Excellent customer service. The manager came over to us. She was very friendly and made sure our group was enjoying ourselves. The specialty drinks were great! We will be back! read more
Decided to come here on a Friday night around 10pm. Before deciding on this place we googled the hours and it stated it would be open until midnight. We we arrived and were waiting to take the elevator upstairs, a hotel employee told us they would be shutting down at 10:30pm. Not sure why or what but we we finally got to the inside to place a drink they stated they would be making final calls for drinks at 10:30pm. It wasn't that many people inside the bar and when we asked the staff they kind of just said welll that's how it is tonight. We took our drinks to the patio and enjoyed the rooftop for about an hour until we finished them and decided to leave once we finished. Not sure what is going on with the hours but this place is still a neat spot to go to. I'll be back I guess earlier??? read more

This place is pretty cozy and nice. Since it's cold can't go out to patio but I can imagine in the summer it's all the way live. Will definitely come back when it's warmer. Great flights as well and finger foods. read more
Great spot for views of the city, unique cocktails and delicious snacks/food. A good variety of speciality cocktails that aren't all vodka based - which I greatly appreciate because I'm not a vodka fan! Daily drink specials - I was there for $2 Tuesday and Buffalo Chicken potstickers were the rotating potsticker of the day. Two separate patios split by the inside bar - both patios offer plenty of seating and great city views. Definitely recommend if you're in the area - you don't have to be a guest of the hotel to gain access and you honestly don't even know you're on top of a hotel when you're there! read more

A friend and I came here one Saturday evening for dinner and drinks. It was super hard to find at first, and not a lot of signs pointing to where it was. Once we got in, we sat down at a table and waited to be served. We waited about 15 minutes before the bartender came over and asked for our drink order and told us our waiter would be with us shortly. We waited another 20 minutes or so before the waiter even made it to our table, and when he did he just stood there and stared at us until my friend asked if we could order. From then on, I think we saw our waiter maybe 2 times the entire evening. The place is stunning, the food was pretty good, but the service was horrible. read more

My husband designed this for Upbar. Inspired by the actual logo; using just a black straw and a simple tooth pick. It turned out incredible and I'm so proud of him. read more

This comes up pet friendly on google. Can anyone confirm?
I believe the hotel is pet friendly but UP bar is not.
