    Me n my girl!

    This place was an EPIC good time SPORTS BAR! Dark but lit in the rifts places. People cheering for their teams and the good food being served! Big plus was the prices seemed reasonable! All in all the was a cool place to watch a game, play pool and party! The servers were also uptown quality with great personalities!

    A pleasant place, with its own unique atmosphere, where you can relax and have a good time. I like the interior and the bar. It's cool that you can sing karaoke.

    Cool dive bar with decent drink prices. The place is super loud, which I don't mind, it's a bar... they have karaoke... football on the TVs, etc. one of the cool things I noticed at the bar was their tap system, which fills beer glasses from the bottom of the glass, thus minimizing the foam... fun to watch.

    They are open again and looking nice! Good late night food, especially since lots of places closed by 9pm for food. The front has some nice privacy with the metal - see pics. Didn't check the back but maybe next time! The interior was spacious and lots of tv screens so if your game is on, can root for your teams. This place seems like a good place to chill and have some drinks or three. We ordered the street dog, burger and fries, tri tip tacos and tri tip quesadillas, and classic uptown wings. The classic uptown wings tasted like franks buffalo sauce, which has a nice buttery flavor to the buffalo wings. The wings also came with celery and carrots. The ranch is on the slightly tangy side which I'm not a fan of, I prefer blue cheese. The burger was nice and delicious with a good amount of lettuce and tomatoes. The fries that come with the burger are the steak fries. The tri tip quesadilla and tacos are good. Maybe when COVID is over I'll come by to eat and drink here.

    Wine Wednesday! A must try event serving high quality local wines
    Angela R.

    Uptown Lounge you really came through on my latest visit how could I not give you 5 stars! After coming here to check out Uptowns fairly new event "Wine Wednesday", It left me very impressed. Not only do you get to try high quality local wines but you also get to sample a variety of Uptowns delicious wood burning oven pizzas, and other appetizers. I only paid $10! Be sure to take advantage of their pre-pay option by visiting their website at http://www.sbuptownlounge.com/contact-us prior to your visit. Otherwise you will pay $15, but still a great deal for what is provided, either way you can't go wrong. If for some reason that doesn't work then I would call Uptown and ask for Natalie so she can hook you up! Thank you Natalie for your excellent customer service. Tip: Bring cash if you're paying at the door. It makes things much easier! This event happens every Wednesday from 5:30-8pm. I recommend getting here early to find a good parking spot and seating on the patio. On my visit (7.27.16) distributors were pouring wine from Broadside located in Paso Robles. Chardonnay, Margarita Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, and Margarita Vineyard Merlot were all good! I've been to Uptown plenty of times with my co-workers after a long hard day at work and I can honestly say this place has been good to me! Food is great and I especially love the sweet potato fries. These are perfectly cooked and the best I have tried in town. Pizza is also delicious cooked in the wood burning oven. Tacos are great as well and they have a decent happy hour. Call ahead of time and reserve a spot if you have a big group. It's FREE! Viva La Fiesta Tip: In honor of Fiesta's on 8.3.16 instead of wine they will hold a tequila tasting. Overall this is the place to be if you want to stray away from the downtown area and looking for someplace to lounge around.

The environment is casual, with indoor and outdoor seating. I love to people watch here! Located next to the Granada and the perfect spot to grab a few drinks before a show. Happy hour is Monday - Friday from 4-6pm and offers a small menu of $9 cocktails. Sometimes it gets pretty crowded depending on what events are happening downtown. My only gripe is that I wish they had two bartenders during the busier nights. They could be short staffed though. Nonetheless, it's still a great spot for good quality cocktails.

Located right next to the Granada Theater on the main drag, it looked to have undergone recent renovations and had a very chill but stylish ambiance. There was plenty of seating on a Wednesday night, and our bartender was a friendly young woman. The hubby got the spiced rum old fashioned, which had an ice cube with a lion's face etched onto it--a nice touch. I got one of their tiny Negronis, which came in a cute tiny mug and cost $5 (it sounded fun). Both tasted great and we had a nice time sipping our drinks and taking in the decor. Alas we had to be on our way so couldn't linger long, but we'd definitely love to stop by again the next time we're in town.

I do think the filet mignon had beautiful plating, but it was very underwhelming, and didn't come out the requested way of cooking. I don't think I'd order that again, but we enjoyed our food overall. We chose to dine outside since it was a nice day and I thought that was pretty nice.

I've been to Santa Barbara loads of time and this was the first time walking into this place. They did have a security guard in front checking ID. The crowd was pretty lively for Saturday night but not too overly packed. Piano man was having his moment. Hence the reason we walked in. Tables and booths were pretty much taken but we manage to get a seat at the bar counter. Cocktail menu had all you drinks, both mixed and specialty. It's a full bar so whatever you're craving I'm sure they could create. We got a few drinks as there was a couple of us. The bartenders was really sweet and fun. She was having a good time and taking care of everyone. It was only her when we walked in but a few others showed up a couple of minutes later. One of the cocktails was a bit too sweet for me so I opted for another. Went with a beer which was ok. Drink wise, about 18-20.00 per cocktails. About average wherever you go to now. Even though we were at the bar counter, a waitress came over to take our order. Piano man was very good. When we walked in he was taking request from the audience. Afterwards, the song choices were pretty great. And the sing along with everyone was fun. Hence why people love a good piano bar. Would I come back, yes. The vibe was great. It was fun place with a good amount of seating. There's a nice big bar area as well as patio seating in front. I don't know if food is offered. Would definitely come back for a fun night.

We headed to the back to sit down before ordering drinks, just chatting and minding our business. A staff member came out to turn on the heaters, then immediately walked up to us and said he needed to check all of our IDs again. We let him know we had just been checked at the door, but he didn't respond at all--just completely ignored that and insisted. We handed over our IDs one by one, and the way he checked them was honestly uncomfortable. He was shining a black light super aggressively, flashing it in our faces even though we were literally just sitting there having a conversation. It felt unnecessary and almost like he was looking for a problem that wasn't there. What made it even worse was how careless he was with matching the IDs to the right people. He kept handing them back to the wrong person, even after staring at our photos. The most confusing part was when my female friend handed him her ID and, after checking it, he repeatedly tried to give it back to one of my male friends. That male friend pointed at her multiple times saying, "that's her ID," and the guy still tried to hand it back to him. If you're checking IDs that thoroughly, I'd expect you to at least be able to tell the difference between a man and a woman--especially when the photo is right there. Overall, the whole interaction felt intrusive, unnecessary, and honestly a bit disrespectful. Tons of locals recommended this place to us, so it was super disappointing to have an experience like this especially when celebrating a friend's birthday. I don't know the name of the staff member, nobody was wearing name tags. But he's an incredibly rude older man. Hi Dawn, it was the day I posted this review, December 8th maybe 9-10pm

Pearl social is such a whimsical fun spot to grab a drink and a snack in the funk zone. We stumbled in for a late afternoon drink and it wasn't very busy inside - giving off "best kept secret vibe". The decor is very feminine yet playful. Loved the design and bar area. We opted for a casual booth area by the bar which was really nice. Also all of the little things were done well, crisp menus, clean bathrooms, and music done at just the right sound level. Their menu in the bar area for food is small but mighty - oysters, cheese plates, you name it. I'm definitely going to keep coming here for the cocktails. I've had one of the best sips in 2025 here - which would be The Mixtape cocktail. My friend told me I had to get it and I'm so glad I listen sometimes lol. This cocktail completely blew me away. Passionfruit forward, it's silky, sweet yet very well balanced. One of the more unique and tasty cocktails I've had ever and honestly I'm not sure how I could come back and get anything else. 10/10 Cocktail and menu. Super impressed. Kudos to Mark who was working the bar. Such a lovely spirit and kind person. He really is passionate about his menu and the drinks he's curated. Loved talking to him as we got to know a lot more about Pearl social and how some of their drinks were concerted. Really appreciated his time and expertise. Anytime I'm in the funk zone I will 100% be stopping back by here for a cocktail and good vibes.
