The Uptown bar is a classic bar with a long tradition for featuring some of the best local bands at a fair price... most of the cover goes to the bands anyways, so its a great way to support local music. Live music is almost nightly.

Frequented by the hip untown crowd, the Uptown Bar features several rooms and a classical 70's decor of large vynil booths and a centered bar. The other room is a bit larger and lined with high tables to watch the bands up front. They also have a dancefloor that holds about 50. They are famous for their patio that faces Hennepin Avenue (great for people watching in the summer) and for their weekend brunch. You can get a great bloody mary and keep the glass for $5. The uptown bar is deffinitely on the grungy side, but thats intentional. Its always a good time and the patrons are usually quite nice and social no matter which band is rocking the crowd for the evening. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that they pour a mean Jack and Coke...

Daily get their famous bloody maries for $6.25 and keep the glass ($5 refill).

NastyBoy can go die in a fire. I stand by what I said. Also, "I Agree" seems like a pretentious douche. "It kind of tells you what kind of person he is if he wants an Applebees." Why don't you go back to MIA you no-talent piece of shit. The servers at Uptown bar are pissed at life, the food tastes like an old sponge, and the entire place smells like a urinal cake. Pure slop.

I agree with NastyBoy except I like the food there. The Gyro omelet is awesome. It kind of tells you what kind of person he is if he wants an Applebees. There is a reason that place went out of business.

I'd rather see a band at the Uptown than most places in Minneapolis. Servers and bartenders should smile a little more. We're all here to enjoy ourselves. It's our freetime. Lighten up a little.

Highly overpriced and slow service. Not at all authentic what they claim to be. Patio is nice, only in summer. For the money you can get lot better stuff somewhere else in Minneapolis
