    Special Smashy
    Zachary S.

    Recently, on a random weeknight, I got the urge to watch Jon Favreau's Chef from 2014. It's a cozy movie that focuses on the love and passion food can bring to people and how cuisines and the love of cooking can connect people together. Towards the final run of the movie, Jon Favreau's character Carl Casper makes a pit stop in Austin to stop at Franklin Barbecue. At that time, Franklin was in its prime. It's still huge today, but no one was doing it quite like Aaron Franklin in the early 2010s. After talking to Aaron, Carl Casper and his crew get 4 packer briskets for their food truck to make the "Austin Midnight" sandwich. Watching this, I thought that Franklin would never sell off their quality brisket to another place because they are selling out daily anyways. Unrealistic movie. That is until yesterday when I realized movies can truly mirror reality thanks to Uptown Sports Club. Located off East 6th, Uptown is a modern sports bar lifted up by Aaron Franklin himself. The atmosphere here has that classic 60s and 70s bar feeling with a modern twist. It's timeless inside and really a cool spot both inside and out. My buddy and I showed up on a Saturday with no reservations running fully off vibes and had an hour wait ahead of us. We waited elsewhere on 6th, no biggie. If you aren't like us, I'd recommend a reservation. Once seated inside, we got drinks from the bar and I got a PBR with a lemon and cocktail onion on a skewer dubbed a Blue Collar Beertuni. I also got 2 of their East Coast Oysters for the vibes at $4.25 each. Sure, why not! They were served with a lemon, mignonette, horseradish, and cocktail sauce, with Crystal Hot Sauce on the table. They were excellent and a good size. Now this is where the story ties back to the lede, my enticed readers. Their menu included their Special Smashy for a fair $10 (+$4 for fries). It seems to be a revolving special Smashburger. You never know what it will be each visit. What made their Smashburger Special this time? Crispy Franklin Barbecue Brisket smashed into a patty, topped with cheddar and American cheese, Franklin's Espresso Barbecue Sauce and pickles. This was my Chef moment. I HAD to get it. I got it served with a great helping of fries plus ketchup and aioli. The picture I took of it didn't do it any justice, but I demolished that sucker. It was fantastic. To chase it, I ordered a Rosalie cocktail made from rose and elderflower gin that I enjoyed quite a bit. The food was great, but it was a little too great because after chowing down, I couldn't help but feel sleepy and the night on East Sixth was short-lived. Uptown can be as light as it needs to be, but impressively the prices don't rob you of a night out. This is a great spot in the middle of great options off East Sixth and is worth your time and attention. The bar alone is worth the trip, but the food really extends the life of Uptown and is the reason I'll be going back. RIYL: A classic sports bar with some of the best casual American food in its area of town.

    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.

    Overall, a positive experience. There are a few things that could have been better. First, the restaurant is super cute and service was great! Our fav thing we ate was the cinnamon roll. The entrees were a hit or miss. We enjoyed the lemon ricotta pancake. Nice combo of tart and sweet on a fluffy pancake. The chicken biscuit sandwich was also tasty. The Lox was way too salty and with the side salad, although light, was very basic. The avocado toast was pretty underwhelming and the classic breakfast was just okay too. With all this said, I have found that places with just okay brunch usually have a stronger dinner menu. I'll have to give it a try.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

The sound and TVs were all pretty great for watching the game, and they had a ton of space. It was nice having the fake grass and picnic tables in the outdoor areas because it really added to the vibe while still being well shaded throughout. The food was good. During the game we shared the Fried Pickles, which were crispy and well breaded with good pickle chips, as well as their Green Chili Queso, which was also excellent. The chips had good seasoning and the queso was thick. For a main entrée, I ordered the patty melt. It was melty with good flavor, but I would have preferred chopped onions over sliced onions. The Sriracha mayo was great and added a kick I was not expecting. The drinks were decently priced for East 6th all things considered. I was not drinking that night and ordered a mocktail variation of their Lavender Haze using zero proof Empress gin instead of the regular Empress gin. They still charged the same price, which felt a little unfair, but it is what it is. Overall, it was a great experience and a solid bar for games. I could see myself coming back for another event since they handled a large crowd well. Aesthetically, the spot is really nice too, which adds to the positives. Not bad for a last minute decision.
