    Gumbo

    We came by for a quick snack and drinks. Based on the outside I did not expect the interior to look so nice. The whole back patio area was also done nicely. Food and drinks here were solid. The service here was really good. Even though it was packed the wait time got a walk in was pretty short. Do expect to pay a bit more for the portion you get. The gumbo turned out more favorable than the tartar. We didn't get any mains since we weren't feeling like having a sandwich, which was most of the menu.

    I stumbled upon Uptown while I was in Austin for 48 hours and boy was I glad I did! From the service to ambiance to food; 10/10! I'll just let the pictures do the talking!

    Smashburger and fries
    Jack G.

    Very solid smashburger in the heart of Austin's east 6th. Love this place, just wish they had better seating and more beer selection for a reasonable price.

    THE BIG: Located on East Sixth street and right across the street from Second bar + kitchen. One room space but it's a big space. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I had my company holiday party here and communications between the sales team and myself was punctual and informative. Highly recommend booking an event here. For food, to name a few things ,we got the chopped brisket sandwich, shrimp & crab salad, oysters, gumbo, uptown burger, hot roast beef, steak frites, and creme brulee. All were delicious to be honest. Couldn't name anything that tasted bad (or worse bland). A variety of drinks available from a decent wine list to coffee and beverages. The group got a mix of beers, cocktails and wine. THE FINAL BAMBOO: For our holiday party, we spent around $900 and had a great time. Staff accommodated everyone and was very attentive! Will be back to try more items soon.

    Dinner & Happy Hour menus

    I stopped by for their happy hour and was excited to try their steak and frites. Unfortunately, I asked the steak to be cooked medium and it came out well done. Waitress was so sweet and asked the kitchen to remake it for me. The second time, it came out medium well (some pink, but was close to well done). I told them to not worry about it since either way, the steak still tasted good and I'll eat it. The manager was also nice and they made it up to me by removing the steak and frites from my bill. I enjoyed the drinks, and their pink moon oysters. I'd come back again to try their other east coast oysters and Orange & Cream frozen boozy drink. Their outdoor patio seating is also fully covered!

    Pimento cheese
    Emily W.

    Really [3.5]...Dined in the main room (although there is a patio/outside) and loved the space which almost felt like you were in someone's home. Our server was lovely - attentive without hovering and very kind throughout dinner. Highly recommend the pimento cheese snack to start with (maybe try asking for extra crackers, because we still had half the spread left with no crackers and ended up eating it on its own). When placing our app/snack order also ordered the boozy orange and cream shake. It was GREAT and do recommend it; however took forever to come out and arrived after our main entrees. Our server was very kind and did not charge us due to the long wait time. The shrimp po boy was...just okay. For $17 you get lettuce/veggies and a few shrimps, little disappointed there. The bread tasted generic as well. Does not come with fries or a side, but after tasting the fries that came with the chicken sandwich, maybe a good thing, they were slightly soggy. Ended the night with the bread pudding and loved it! It's a generous portion and can be split between 2-3 people. It does have a bourbon aftertaste which some may/may not like, but I didn't mind. The bread was very very soft and worth getting!

    We live nearby and love uptown so much. Their food and service is always 10/10. They have a wonderful happy hour until 6pm on weekdays and their food is always a great compliment to their happy hour drink deals. The Sports Club is one of my favorites. The Fried Chicken was fantastic The caesar was also great! We love the decor and the overall vibe.

    Dined here for a midday Friday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. We were sat within 10 minutes without a reservation. The restaurant was busy for lunch hour but not too noise. My friend and I ordered hush puppies to start which were served warm and with a delicious remoulade. We each ordered a shrimp po-boy and fries to share. This was honestly one of the best po-boys I've had. It wasn't overwhelmingly big. The shrimp was fried to perfection. The addition of tomatoes, shredded lettuce and pickles made for a perfectly filling lunch item. The fries were well seasoned and served with a creamy aioli. To drink, I ordered the Rosalite- a gin cocktail that was fruity and well balanced. My friend ordered the El Jardinero- a spicy margarita. They said it was too spicy but others may like it. Service was quick and personable. The manager was present through our stay and table touched around the restaurant. I would def eat here again when I am back in the city.

    Server Alex was great, food was great. Back patio area was super cute, very loud but that's eating out BABY. Burger was great, fries super good, kinda like wingstop but not sweet. I didn't eat the fish, but was told it was a 4/5. Bread pudding was hot and fresh and 4.5/5 Also the host was super nice and fantastic and the place aesthetically is really cool and chill.

    Got a last minute reservation this past Saturday night. It was incredibly alive and busy inside. We got seated right away and knew exactly what we wanted. I was really looking forward to my entree - shrimp and grits, but unfortunately it fell short. I didn't finish and as the server was taking it away, she asked how it was and I was honest and said I didn't love it. She handled it so professionally and got it taken off the check which I truly was not expecting at all. Thank you, Carly! She was so friendly and attentive. The rest of our food was great and I'd go back for everything except the shrimp and grits. I'm not sure what flavors it was supposed to highlight but it was just off and way too salty. Loved the oysters, drinks, crudo, shrimp cocktail and burger! And it is a very cool building, with a New Orleans feel.

    Roast Beef PoBoy
    Jennifer V.

    We stopped by The Uptown Sports Club on a Saturday just after noon, and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant was about half full, and we were able to seat ourselves. We were greeted right away, and the service was fast and genuinely friendly. I came specifically for the roast beef po'boy--and it did not disappoint. Hands down the best I've had in Austin so far. I was told there were only two left for the day, so I got lucky! The bread? Authentic Leidenheimer--crusty, soft, perfect. Absolutely delicious. Although we were on a mission for po'boys, the brunch menu looked amazing and is definitely on my list for next time. The restaurant itself has a ton of charm. After we ate, we walked through the outdoor space--lush garden, cozy seating, and total New Orleans vibes. A hidden gem with great food and atmosphere!

    What a cute little sports bar. It's located on east 6th street, so there's plenty of charm inside and outside. I had the roast beef sandwich. It was loaded with juicy meat and flavor. The bread was perfectly soft but it didn't get soggy. Service was fast and friendly. I will be back!

    Avocado toast
    Robert C.

    Cool little place. I wasn't too hungry so kept it simple with avocado toast. It was very good. They have a small menu and some decent options. Table next to us kept getting small little apps. Might be a good way to go. I would for sure go back.

    Can I bring my kids here to watch the UT game during the day?

    Yes, you sure can!!

    As I look at the posted photos, I don't see any tv's (for sports). Are there any? How can you call a place a "sports club" and not show any sports?

    Wondering this same thing. Would this be a good place to watch a UT football game?

I felt the vibe instantly, like as soon as I put one foot in the door. Magical, sophisticated, worldly, wonderful and more were the feelings that spontaneously hit me. The dark and elegant decor, lighting, design, & layout made me feel as though I were in a high-end Tokyo cocktail lounge. The front room as I mentioned is an intimate bar and lounge area with artwork adorning the walls. It's a modern, minimalist, and sleek space. The artwork is ever-changing (every couple of months or so) and the cocktail menu changes right long with it. Note: artwork is available for purchase. What an absolutely glorious way of combining different mediums (liquid art vs physical art). The craft cocktails & mocktails are the epitome of works of art. I've had great cocktails and mocktails elsewhere but honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level. You're taken into an entirely different realm just watching the genius of mixologists. It's mesmerizing watching them hone their craft. In the back of the lounge is an enclave of eclectic art and other pieces that then leads you to Konbini, the sushi bar. It's an industrial, warehouse vibe with a long counter that screams hip, Tokyo inspired, late-night eatery. Service is impeccable and welcoming at this cosmopolitan venue. It's truly an amazing experience.

Only food I tried was the Tofu Chip which was delicious as well. Also got the Milky drink and it went down just as smoothly. All in all great place, just popped in for my second time in the past three days. The vibe was chill and laid back. Dim lighting and good music.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

My friend's boyfriend and I talked about various Texas cities, the bar itself, and details about East Austin. The bartender was making faces at the fur baby, causing its ears to perk up...there seems to be a playful love-hate dynamic between them, especially since the bartender gave the pet some treats.

As you'll see in the photos, I got suckered into a frozen drink (whip-it-good) and the Miami Vice. I also had a beer and some whiskey (not photographed). I had a great time, some people ended up talking to me throughout the time sitting at the bar, bartenders were nice even as the shift changed (or one bartender went on break for a long time).

We had a resy for 8 at 9:45 for a birthday, we arrived at 9:45 there was no clear spot to check in, we asked around and they pointed us to the water station by the entry. After finally being greeted, we were told our section wasn't ready, the other party hadn't left yet. The server / hostess seemed frazzled and kept running around trying to get us a section and talking to people about leaving. We stood there waiting for about 30 minutes. Then we were finally seated in a section barely big enough for 6, we were crammed in like sardines, sweatin. We asked the parties next to us if they could push over a bit so we all could fit, luckily they were friendly and accommodating. We were greeted not too long after being seated, Our order was taken by the first server, It took about 30 minutes for drinks and food to start to come out. The birthday girl ordered a hookah and it took an hour and a half for it to come out. Then we were not checked on for about an hour, We finally ordered more drinks and then we never received them, We asked three different servers and were told several times that they were taking care of it and it was never taken care of, We left at 1:15 without ever getting our additional orders. One of the servers told us that the bar was crazy busy and that they were probably making our drinks and people at the bar were just taking them. So chaotic. We were finally helped by Heaven and Summer at the end around 1:00 a.m. when we asked to pay for our tab. Of course the tab was all wrong because it had all of the drinks we ordered that we never received. Again, chaotic. I felt bad for the birthday girl because she was really excited about being there for the first time with all of us and the experience was subpar at best. I will say, the best part was the DJ, HellaYella. And the jerk lamb chops. Also, If and I mean if, We ever go back, We will not reserve a section like that and we will get our drinks at the front bar and sit out on the nice patio. We'll see.

After 30 minutes of waiting, my server told me that everyone & their momma ordered a bunch of stuff at the same time since the food/drink special was for a short period of time, which resulted in extremely long wait times for food. The Eventbrite page didn't mention that the special was only for the 1st half of the game, which led me to believe that management pulled this not-so-bright idea out of his anus at the last minute. I waited over an hour for my food & when it finally arrived, it was not the flavor I asked for. The servers are very kind & had a great attitude despite the chaos. The food at this place is always really good. But the overall experience and timely delivery of food during their football watch party left a lot to be desired. I'm going to give this place one more try because you can't beat $1 wings (that actually are very flavorful) & $5 drinks on GameDay. However, I wouldn't go on an empty stomach. I also hope they expand their special for the whole entire game like it was the last time I went for UT/Oklahoma. ***UPDATE*** I returned for UT/Texas A&M. I paid $60 to reserve a table indoors. The service was a lot better! I really enjoyed DJ Hella Yella playing music during commercials. The overall vibe was great this time around.

It's been around since 2018 so most folks know where it is by now. Heads up, you no longer have to use their app to make a reservation. Simply do so through Open Table and that's when you'll get the entry code. So glad it's no longer a members-only spot as well. The basement location gives anything but a basement vibe. When you enter, you'll see the infamous black paint on white walls mural but then you're transformed into something more. An elegant and elevated high-end speakeasy that transports you to what life in speakeasy settings must have felt like in the days of olde. Who doesn't love being greeted by a tasteful, giant, fake bear with welcome cocktails? The low-lit space brings a feeling of warmth, secrecy, romance, and mystery. You absolutely get the feeling you're in a special and secret hideaway space. From the refined wallpaper to hand blown glass lighting fixtures to the lush and velvety sofa seating, you are truly immersed in the vibe. It brings a feeling of noir and romance with even sexier drinks. Being seated in one of the nooks is my favorite and just really adds to the overall experience. If you follow my reviews then you know I often refer to excellent cocktails as liquid works of art. And, in this case, it's like the most exclusive, high-end art gallery of liquid masterpieces. Cocktails with branded cubes, top tier alcohol and other ingredients from around the globe make for a worthy piece of drinkable art. It doesn't end with cocktails! The mocktails are equally as beautiful and delicious. I highly recommend the cocktails and mocktails. Service is exactly what you would expect and want it to be in this environment. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average but you're paying for art, atmosphere, and experience that is beyond wonderful.
