The day I walked into Uptown, my life got a little bit better. Uptown is everything I could ever want in a bar. It’s small, it’s relatively hidden, it’s only open two days a week(unless you book it for a function) and it’s unique. With a wood-panelled bar, staff that know their cocktails, kitschy paraphernalia and a dude playing honkey-tonk piano I fail to see what more you could want in a bar. To be sure, you don’t come here to dance. You don’t come here to pick up or meet people. What you come here for is a gathering with friends. Pre-dinner drinks. A cozy corner on a Friday night. If I had the money I think I’d actually buy this bar and make it my own personal venue. It really is THAT good.
