My favorite bar but had to stop going because the female bartenders are so rude. We tip well and are patient but they make us feel like a nuisance any time we go. I had friends in town and the gm was so incredibly passive and rude that they asked if they did something wrong and she proceeded to kick us out for asking. Really disappointed that most of the great staff we got to know left. "Out of my bar" she said. read more

Fun, friendly spot! one the best burgers I've had in a very long time. All fresh ingredients not frozen. come see Dennis he's super cool!

Best bar in uptown. Fucking love this place. Can't find a better bar in Dallas. Amazing quesadillas amazing drinks amazing brisket from Nate Dogg. Place will make you cum then cum some more read more

Came here on a Saturday night to watch football out in the patio. Cheap drinks, big screens out on the patio, nothing special but what you want of a bar. read more

1st RED FLAG...ITS UP FOR LEASE, the staff was rude, Looked like they hated their lives, they charge 12.50 for a burger that's worse that a baseball field concession stand could make. Half the people there were drunk, walking around to random tables asking for cigarettes or beer money, and I'm pretty sure the cooks were buying goodies from the locals behind the kitchen. BUT BIG TVS read more

Tried out this place with some friends tonight and the atmosphere was great! Highly recommend the fried pickles and ranch waters

The first time at Uptown Pub very welcoming very inviting that is very cool very well for me survey seem to be having a good time and I will come back Maddie is a great bartender read more

I loved the place. I felt it had a typical old cowboy movie style seating. Bar was pretty small with outdoor patio seating as well. Prices were fairly reasonable. Food was tasty. Fast & friendly service. Will go back again. read more

This is my go to spot. Every time I'm here the staff makes me feel like I'm family. I've never once felt unwelcome here. The food and drinks are great. The staff is amazing. Always tell my friends to visit here when they're in town. Never fails that I hear nothing but great things about this place. read more

I have been going to this place for a couple of years now. They go in and out of good service and back to poor/average service. It looks like it was originally a house which gives it a certain charm but that's about all of the appeal of the structure. There is a sunroom space that has a ceiling leak basically anytime it rains at all and they just set a bucket under it. The floor is slanted and shifts when you walk - definitely fun when you are tipsy. The servers say they will come to you at your table but again it is off and on if this is true. The last time I was in there last week we sat there for 20 minutes and finally went up to the bar to order. There were 3 staff members just standing by a table talking not helping customers - not sure if they were off work though. This place has a cigarette vending machine which is cool but I do not smoke. The bathrooms are always fairly clean. Nice patio space and a great location near West Village Shopping. I would recommend but I wish they were consistent. The brisket nachos are pretty great but they run out of brisket fairly often. read more

For the amount of times I have eaten here and told friends about it, my three stars might be shocking to many. The three stars come from three main things: inconsistency, service, and cleanliness. Inconsistency: The place has the best wings I have had in Dallas and the worst chili I have had in my LIFE. The drinks are sometimes so strong (yay double pours with single prices) or watered down beyond belief. Their beer selection is underwhelming. The service also leaves A LOT to be desired which leads me to my next point. Service: The people who work here act like they hate their life. You have to order food and drinks at the bar, even if you are seated at a table and trust, you will get glares or snarky comments if they have to come up to you. God forbid! I have stood at the bar for several minutes and had the bartenders outright ignore me and choose to serve other patrons immediately while I wait. Cleanliness: This place is gross. I tried to ignore it for the wings but I just can't anymore. I doubt this place passes their health inspection because the play looks and feels dirty and most of all, SMELLS it. I'm not kidding when I say that this place smells like vomit has seeped through the floor boards and simply won't let up. It is in desperate need of a power wash though at this point, burning it down might be the only way to get that smell out. read more

Situated in one of the more historic buildings of Dallas, Uptown Pub has all the essentials a good pub should have: nice service, a semi-hearty food menu, plenty of beer on tap, and friendly service. For the rowdy and seemingly nightlife laden McKinney Ave, this might be one of the least ruckus filled venues. And that's a good thing. The outdoor deck is a good place to settle down for first timers. There is plenty of opportunity for people watching and usually a calm but festive ambiance. While the interior isn't much to harp about, there is a genuinely divey charm to the bar itself and depending on the people count, a general easy flow to this place. No bueno on the bathroom situation, but most bar frequenters would know this upon entering anyway. There is no shortage on the drink front. A solid amount of beers on tap are available, though there is significantly more bottled beer and a handful of wines. There is ab 11am - 7pm happy hour every day which includes $4 wines/wells and $2.75 domestic brew. Whatever your drink of choice, it's probably fairly standard practice to grab a drink, sit outside and watch the night fade away. Food situation is really limited to sandwiches and bar food worthy appetizers. Everything ranges from $3-8, so the prices are pretty darn decent for all that is available. The Uptown Burger ($7) and Patty Melt ($8) didn't really impress as far as burgers go, but I would come back to experiment with the menu more. While the Uptown Brisket Nachos ($7) are a solid finger food choice, the Soft Tacos ($7), Buffalo Wings ($8) leave much to be desired. If Dallas were home, I'd be here probably more often than not. A good place to drink is a necessary evil and I'm told this joint has quite the karaoke nights as well as a full audio experience for major sports games on TV. Either way, I'm definitely coming back. read more

Great neighborhood bar! Stiff pours, friendly staff. If you are in the hospitality industry they recognize that and cater to hospitality folk! read more

I liked this place. Why? That's easy -- 1. It was a non-cookie cutter type place. An old house that had been converted many years ago to a restaurant and more recently to a bar with food. 2. The outdoor patio is nice (with tv's) 3. They have Blue Moon on tap 4. The appetizers were good (try the jalapeno peppers stuffed with chicken -- spicy!) 5. Good people watching as it's next door to a very trendy area The service was a little slow on the night we were there -- only one waitress handling both inside and outside customers. And it didn't help that I table of 20 next to us all asked for separate checks. That said, our waitress did an okay job. read more

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Here from out of town and this place is great. Small town feel and great, friendly service. We will definitely be back next year! read more

I used to love this place. They'd likely sell more food if they ever answered the phone.

Some of the greatest bartenders between Nate, Chuy, Cynthia and Erica. The vibe is really good and if you come on a Friday it's poppin. If you come on Wednesday then you can sing some karaoke and let me tell you it's dope. read more

Great food and fabulous margaritas! Such a cool spot! We just happened on this place while walking in the area but so glad we did!

It is one of life's great urban pleasures to sit outside on a nice day, have a brew or two, and watch the cool people and their cars parade up and down McKinney Ave in Dallas TX. This place has it all. Plus, from the patio this is one of the best views of downtown and the skyline that you can find. On the downside, the selection of beers on tap is extremely limited, the service is slow to non-existent (I ended up going inside to get a brew directly from the bar), and the kitchen looks kind of iffy to me. On the other hand, if you get hungry while people watching Mia Cocina and Taco Diner are right around the corner. read more

Great, no excellent service. I didn't have any food, but I sat on the patio and sipped on vodka club soda's and they were made just right. I will be back this weekend. read more

Total dive bar that is cliquish. What a dump. . A true gem. Bad food and rude bar staff. Run away.

Tilted, creaky, plank floors! Wobbly bar tables! What more could a pirate ask for! Hardy-Har-Har! Seemingly low in diversity. Good Chicken Melt sammie and the tots are as tasty as tots can get. Friendly staff, though, only somewhat attentive. Of course, don't expect what is to be expected in Uptown area. I'd come here again but ONLY if I were in the area. I can see this place as being more suitable somewhere where boats dock and where Gramps would go before taking his V-pill! read more

I'm giving this three stars because my first time visiting the male bartender was AWESOME!! He was funny, suggested drinks and made them to perfection; he made them so well we decided to return. Upon our second visit I ordered a drink, I was charged the same price but given a smaller size. I took it as my memory was not good and didn't ask about it but when I tried to pay they didn't have my method of payment (Apple Pay). I had to go out and find cash which is impossible because you cannot get cash back with Apple Pay. My friend met me there and we went inside together, I didn't want the drink since it was left so long unattended but we offered to pay for the drink. The female bartender with black hair and thick glasses tried to get an attitude with us and then loudly accused me of not having any money in the midst of us offering to pay. I cannot make this up. She snatched the drink off the bar and threw it in the trash. We left immediately. I recommend this bar for the drinks but make sure you don't get the bitch that has a chip on her shoulder with cheap hair dye. Lucky for us our first experience was great because with that attitude it can be perceived that she doesn't like people of a particular hue and that can make the establishment look poorly. read more

Honestly would have nothing but great things to say about this place if it wasn't for the sad pretend "security" guy who goes up to tables having fun and asks them to "be quiet" if they're slightly having fun or singing too loudly. You can be loud if he likes the song but if you paid for a song to play that he doesn't like he'll ruin your night and ask you to be quiet .. in a loud dive bar.. which is insane .. the drinks are too shitty to have to deal with that.. people go to uptown pub for a chill place to have fun and get wasted .. get rid of that asshole and it'll go back to being a great place .. you have to be a psychopath to ask people to be quiet in a bar .. read more

I've lived in Uptown for several years, so I wanted to try a bar I've never been to for Sunday Funday. I've driven by Uptown Pub many times, which obviously looks like a casual, chill bar with a huge patio. Positives: 1. Mimosas- it's $10 for a pitcher ($6.50 for one glass so might as well buy in bulk!) and our bartender made the pitcher VERY strong 2. Chips and queso 3. Bacon Cheeseburger (the best!) 4. Chicken fingers 5. Honey mustard and ranch 6. Large, dog friendly patio- Has flat screen TVs with multiples games on Negatives: 1. Salsa and guac (salsa tasted cheap and guac was full of onions, which I like, but had no flavor) Like other reviews mentioned, there was only one lady running the entire bar acting as the waitress and bartender. However, it was not crowded, so we were taken care of and could just walk to the bar to order more and tab out when ready. Parking isn't ample, but we live nearby and walked, so it wasn't a big deal. I would definitely go back! read more

A perfect, chill out patio with good happy hour prices. Food isn't anything to get too excited about. It's typical bar food. You have to go inside to place your order. Drink prices are reasonable and staff is all so friendly. We like it at Uptown Pub. read more

They have Karaoke Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoons. I had a question about how the DJ rotated singers and made the following comment/question, "If a singer come's in before you go back to the top of the list (first round) I go to the end of the line but if a singer comes in after you start the second round they get to sing next and I'm OK with that. Is that the way it works? His reply to my fair quuestion, "this conversation is futile, you like my show great, Attend. I don't feel I need to justify my rotation system. Good day sir! read more

We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon after a movie at the Magnolia. Greeted nicely by the wait staff, served drinks immediately. Nice patio, strong drink, laid back. Diverse group of customers and even though we're older than most of the uptown crowd, they made us feel welcome. Pub-like, creaky floor, old tables and chairs - perfect for a pub. read more

This place makes me want to air guitar the four blocks it takes to walk there from my home. It's super laid back and we always get good service from all the staff. Uptown needs more laid back places like this. The patio is my favorite place to be. The menu changes were good and really like the chicken strips. read more

When I walked into this Uptown pub, it was anything but. The floors were so old they were warped and the floor under me would gently bend as people walked by. It smelled like old wet wood: mildew-ew. I saw myself out to the outdoor patio where people were singing country karaoke and I immediately got it. I loved it. Makes me so happy to be in Texas and feel the only type of American you can feel when you're in TEXAS! read more

A great solid 3 stars. I had to wait for a prescription to be filled across the street at CVS pharmacy. This place was perfect to hang out on the terrace in the shade on a beautiful day while I was waiting. The bartender was friendly and cool as well as the clientele. It feels like a real neighborhood bar compared to all the trendy places that surround it. I'll definitely go back here to hang out if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Went to Uptown Pub today for lunch for the first time and had great service! Lilly, the bartender, is amazing! I feel like bar/pub food can be hit or miss, but the quesadillas were honestly great. I love that it's close to work and that I can get out of the office for a bit. I will be coming back with a girlfriend to hang out on the weekend! read more

If you are a patio lover, this is one of the best around our fair burg, plain and simple, but glorious all at the same time. It just looks like a little house in uptown, but open those swinging doors and it's Boozetown USA. The only time I have ever been here after the sun set, we were inside, and it was so jam packed full of people, that the floor was going up and down. I was sure we were all about to fall through the floor. It's very homie and woody in there, yeah, i said woody. My favorite part is the patio, it is a gated brick patio, with black tables and chairs strewn about in no particular order. very welcoming, very "Come on in, where the hell have you been?!" kinda feel to it. There are even TVs outside for the patio/sport lover, rolled into one. The wait staff has always done a great job by me. I was just there the other day, and our waitress had the whole patio, which was packed, and she was still a rockstar, and took great care of us, while being run ragged. Is bar food your thing? Well, saddle up partner! The burgers and sandwiches are all more than a mouthful, and delicious. My personal favorite would have to be the cheesy tater tots though. The mountain of food that came with this order, made nervous cause i didn't have my harness and carrabeaners with me. And last time i was there, someone in our group got the Chicken Stuffed Jalapenos, and my mouth must have been open as i starred at these magnificent creatures, cause i abruptly heard her say "You can have one", and then I could breathe again. They were completely fried in their shape somehow, stems and all. These things don't mess around either, as the caveman would put it, Hot Like Fire! But the good kind of hot, that sticks with you for 3 more beers. Great Patio, Great Food, Great Service, GREAT BAR What's Irish and sits around your pool all day? Padi O'Furniture! read more

I like patios. Big Patios. Dog friendly patios. I like people watching...any time of any day. I like big, juicy burgers with fries cooked to perfection. I like giant club sammiches on a hangover afternoon. I like tator tots covered in cheese and chilli to dip in ranch dressing that will make you slap yo mamma (sorry mom) I like wings that are huge and spicy and make a mess of whatever I have on. I like brews....all kinds....cold and in a bucket. I like drink specials.....good ones. I like having a place that I can always count on to satisfy all of the above. This is why I LOVE Uptown Pub. That is all. read more

I don't like to slam any place that I visit because people have jobs and I respect and appreciate the workers in the establishments that work hard everyday. That being said how the H does this place have 3 1/2 stars? It was absolutely FILTHY, smelled of stale beer, had visible mold in the cooler, and to top it all off I saw the cook set his cutting board (that had black mold lines on the cutting surface) on top of the garbage can!! It's a quaint bar that could have so much promise if they would just clean it and improve their food safety practices. read more

Oh, fall football. I've missed you. Come here to mama. Most Sunday afternoons yon can find me on Uptown Pub's patio with a few friends - Miller Lite, Orange Juice and Champagne. Okay, they aren't my real friends. But in all seriousness, this is becoming a favorite spot for us to hang. They've installed a few bigger TVs, a quasi-covered patio roof and the food has improved by miles. Uno was nice enough to share some of his tots and Fin shared one of her club sandwich quarters with me... both were quite tasty. They might just have the best tots in town. Service can still be spotty but they're nice to talk to and I like their "I really don't give a shit to wait on you hand and foot" attitude. Most of the time they're hungover and have funny stories too. For example, last Sunday's story came from the bartender who dropped her keys down the elevator shaft the night before when she got home at 5:30am. She had to be back at work at 10am. NOT a happy camper, but I wouldn't have been either. read more

Me and several peeps stopped in for a quick beer chugging contest. I pwned. Nuff said. read more

I really expected this pace to be more upscale than it and instead, it just felt like a bar that I don't mind being at. I have no clue what the price of drinks are, but I had a lot of fun here, maybe it's the people I went with, maybe it was the beer...maybe it was the little wooden booth that we sat in, I don't know, I was already blasted hah, and I will definitely go back. Also, the bartender dude was super nice, the bathroom, however, was disgusting. read more

Laid back, people watching, beer drinking, dog patting, oh did I mention beer drinking. This place is on the edge of uptown where it can get stuffy, but here you can have a great time, it's laid back. read more
