Absolutely loved our last minute find at Uptowner Pub and Patio! We stumbled across this cozy, cabin-like gem (with the help of the Yelp app of course) while visiting family in town. Honestly, the only thing I regret is not finding it sooner in the day. We had mediocre drinks and food at restaurant nearby and needed to cleanse our palettes with quality beer. Uptowner is a bit tucked away down a driveway with another building in front, but it's worth seeking out! There's a small parking lot to the right of the patio, which was super convenient for us. As soon as we walked up, we felt welcomed by the warm, all-wood cabin vibes and the friendly presence of a couple of locals hanging out on the outdoor patio. The wraparound bar inside is gorgeous, and their tap list blew me away. Over 20 options, including ciders and sours! If beer isn't your thing, they also offer soju cocktails, plus cans and cool specialty drinks in glass bottles to-go. Their restrooms are single occupancy and located behind saloon-style swinging doors, such a fun touch! Everything was super clean and well-maintained. I want to highlight something I noticed in other reviews: Steve, the owner, absolutely does NOT deserve the negative feedback. Yes, he might come across as a bit stern at first, but he's really customer-focused and easy to talk to. Maybe on a busy night, things get hectic, but we chatted with him about the bar's history and surviving COVID. He was welcoming and gracious, and even let us finish our drinks in peace at closing. He made us feel genuinely valued. Can't wait to come back, and we're already planning a trip just for Uptowner. Thank you, Steve, for a memorable evening in a truly unique spot! Highly recommended. read more

The beer selection her is great. It's a quiet no frills place to take a break and enjoy a drink. Their selection was awesome, I enjoyed everything I drank and my wife enjoyed all the seltzers and sours they had on the menu. It is a nice quiet and hidden gem in Yucaipa. read more

Check it out .. beer :selection- Food: the burger is great Vibe :chill ,news channel read more

Can't believe this place isn't more popular. The selection is fantastic and steve is wonderful. I don't think he's rude like comments have said, I think he's just to himself because when I would start conversation he was more than willing to talk. Steve and his bar is one of the best places to be (: it gave a really nice homey, warm feeling and it was relaxing. read more

Bruhs a piece work.... I'm a local boy of Yucaipa for 38 years so doesn't make cents at least money wise also I'm a CCW carrier and he still treated us like chit. Oh well my money will go to to other establishments and he can deal with making pennies. go elsewhere if u want service and a chill spot to have a beverage. I do like the eff sleepy joe sign tho that guy is a clown and we all know it. read more

Husband and I went and felt really unwelcome, and people were starring at us. Not sure if it was because we were a mixed-couple (Mexican and White). Owner was rude and started 'yelling' at the hostess about forgetting to put a beer on the tab, which we told her she forgot. He said outright to everyone "don't worry about. It will come off her check." Highly political too with signs occasionally - so if you want with the owner's political views, you're not welcome clearly. But if you are fine with all that, they have a nice selection of rotating beers on tap. read more

Location, beer selection and outdoor seating is pretty great. The owner is not. Been in a handful of time and he, the owner is rude, short and just not a nice man. I actually feel bad for him because he acts and looks so miserable. Maybe I should buy him a beer. Lol It's a shame, because such a hidden gem minus the rudeness. Just not worth going there. read more

So charming! Love the cabin-like feel, & the intimate setting. Whether it is the owner himself that is serving, or one of the ladies, we've always enjoyed attention & hospitality. Also love the ever-changing menu of local beers. Not sure what you like? They'll let you try samples. read more

Cute place with an intriguing location - it's a shame about that cover photo. No need to be all in your face about disliking the president. Weird choice. The bartender was nice enough, but it was weird he didn't know how to make a snake bite or a black and tan. read more

Great selection of beers on tap and the beer is always super cold very chill vibe here never busy at all which surprises me

Fantastic new spot right at the top of old Town Yucaipa. It's down this long driveway and has a patio and a cool thing called dog parking where they have leaseholders on an outside wall. The whole thing is covered in trees and behind the old lady that makes chocolates house. Once you get inside it's a very modern brand new bar with several rotating taps of Craft beer. They serve appetizers which I did not try but other people in my group had been in there before and said they are fantastic. This is my new favorite spot in Yucaipa. read more

the guy always there serving not sure if he is the manger or owner but he is very rude. when you walk in if he doesn't know you or like something about you he immediately starts treating you with poor customer service. the whole vibe tin that place is weird and I've only been once but won't ever return. read more

Second time here .. first time was a great time! No complaints Second time I went it was horrible. Walked in and right away felt unwanted there. I believe the owner waited on.. well not really .. the owner snubbed us. Made us feel unwanted. THE OWNER of his own place made us feel so uncomfortable! Had one beer and left. Really didn't want to finish my beer I really just wanted to walk out. I will not be back. There's plenty of other local places that make me feel welcome that I will go to instead. What a jerk that guy was. So disappointed! read more

Very small. It's the bartender and his buddies sitting around the bar. Monday Night Football on all the many TVs. You would think that the kitchen would have been opened. Patio is very nice. Heaters would have been even nicer. My group of 5 decided it was the owner's man cave. We felt like we were the crashing a very small party. Awkward. Beer was good. Selection of beer was also extensive. I had the Mexican Lager on tap and we also had the white ale which was very citrus-y. I liked it. read more

Love this place!!! Make sure to ask the beer tender for a Snake Bite, it's one of his favorites! The food menu is awesome, and they're always serving the freshest food. Don't be afraid to ask for something special, they will quickly accommodate your request. read more

No kitchen, no personality ,can't cheer when the dodgers tie the score.. won't see me there again or recommend anyone there again.. and that was the owner. Piss off.. and that's being nice.. love the beers and patio read more

The best beer bar in the IE. Great place to hang with other locals and have a beer or two or more. We had the tacos and burrito and they were great. The staff, Ryan and Mo know their beer and are very personable. And the owner, Steve has a real zest for life and an unlimited supply of black tee shirts. Amazing. If you catch him smiling....go buy a lotto ticket fast. All kidding aside, this is our (wife and I) favorite place. We enjoy the ambiance, the people we meet, talking to Ryan, Mo and Steve and the great food and beer. All for under $50-60. Not bad for a date night! Their menu is perfect for this type of place. Not to high brow! Really good bar food. We are thankful for Steve's vision and for building this place! read more

This place has a very good assortment of beers. The owner Steve is such a nice guy, he's never grumpy or mean. Would never call you names.. The food is to die for.. When going in, you absolutely need to ask him to make you the pizza or the tacos. He loves to cook for customers, it builds on his self-esteem. Beers are always COLD!! I wish I could give this place six stars just for the food. read more

Oskar Blues G'Knight Imperial Red! Great selection of beer. Relaxing setting in uptown Yucaipa. It's hidden between the homemade chocolate shop and the rabbit coffee cafe but worth the find. read more

Great spot to bad the owner is a total POS won't give him my business. Tried many times just can't do it anymore.

Excellent Happy Hour!!! This place had tasty food, but what put it over the top was the Serrano chili sauce (ask for more-it's more sweet then spicy) and the happy hour pricing. Excellent beer selection with canned wine as well. Beers for all your tastes and to compliment all the food. Limited menu, but tasty bar style food. Be weary of slow service but if you go in to order from the patio seating, no problems at all. read more

This place was AWESOME! My fiancé and I stopped by for a quick bite and a beer and we were pleasantly surprised by the quaint and inviting atmosphere of this place. We were instantly greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable bartender and our food came out quickly. This place has a huge beer selection and a tasty, simple, menu. Everyone working was friendly and personable, including and especially the owner! We loved this place and we will definitely be back. read more

If you like some asshole with your craft beer this is the place for you. Never disappoints!

Really good bar food and good portions, totally worth the price. Great selection of beer. Very small bar and kitchen though, I'm sure it'll get more popular and way more crowded.. dogs not allowed on patio, but there is an area to "park" them NEXT to the patio. Will be back for sure, awesome spot! read more

Uptowner Pub & Patio - Hazy IPA - Gastropubs Near Me - Yucaipa, California

Owner was not the most welcoming when we stopped in. Definitely had no problem being rude to the group I was with. But was also quite rude to his server who was attentive and seemed to be keeping busy anywhere he wasn't. You could tell the bathrooms had not been cleaned in a while and definitely had not been restocked either. I will say there are quite a few taps but most all were IPAs or DIPAs. Only 3 or 4 on tape that were of other styles. IPAs have been the "go to" beer for most, so it's possible these are requests from regulars. All around we thought this place was a great location, but the owner and beer selection killed it for us nonIPA enthusiast. read more

Horrible customer service. First time there I ordered two food items and after 90 mins only received one of them. Then asked for the bill and they charged me for both. I brought it to their attention and they said the fixed it and refunded me. Checked my bank statement and they never did. Thought I'd give them a second chance, went and sat there for 25 mins and nobody would acknowledge me or ask if I would like a drink but served other people. Worst customer service this side of the Mississippi!!! read more

Beer taste old and food is exceptionally mediocre. Staff seemed miserable.

Owner is a grouch, kitchen hours inconsistent (if the grouchy owner is in a bad mood, it's closed no matter what time you're here), would not recommend bringing kids here as seating is extremely limited, dogs are banished to the urine purgatory (aka dog park) and they serve Coors Light? Better places to go. Move on to better places. read more
