Best

I lived on the UES for 2 1/2 years a few years ago and this was my go-to bar. The other ones in the area are kind of divey and packed full of the "just out of college" crowd. I wa...

Upper East's New Spot 1/12/2005

Uptown is a great space that has a fun, loungy type of atmosphere that gets a little more barlike later on. The food is excellent and the price is right on the money. My wife and I had a great time, we went there for dinner and ended up staying all night! It's a nice place that's not too old and not too young, something my wife and I have been looking for on the Upper East Side. We'll definitely be back. Pros: Great space, Great food, Great bar more

Bravo!!!! 10/7/2004

I recently saw The Uptown on Fox's Good Day NY television show. Uptown was said to be "best date spot, amazing food, great presentation, cheap eats". I must saw, I have to agree. I usually don't judge a place by reviews, however this place is great. The atmosphere only complements the amazing menu. Plenty of cool martinis to choose from and a great wine list by the glass (I think they have 30 wines from all regions). Service was key: friendly and helpful, no attitude. I would say, upscale, but not stuffy and very reasonable on prices. Great open space with a fun "alive" vibe. The only negative, I wish they would open one up closer to where I live. How about a Soho version? Pros: service, awesome food, great vibe more

Went there with some of buddies to watch football this weekend and it was great. Not as packed with the young punks as some of the other places in the neighborhood and the food was awesome. Great place to go if you want to go watch a game in a little more of an upscale scene (with a lot more room) w/o breaking the bank. It got good at night too...a lot of cute chicks rolled in...so we hung for a while! Pros: atmosphere, food , staff more

Oasis!!!! 9/7/2004

This place has it all. After years of living on the UES, with limited choices, my friends and I finally found an oasis. Uptown Restaurant & Lounge truly has it all. The menu, wine selection, martini choices, and the overall vibe of this place is beyond words. Cool atmosphere, very friendly staff and a great looking crowd. Outside seating, full dining room, huge bar area and great music make this the UES best kept secert. However, the place is packed, so I guess the secert is out. Don't change a thing!!! TK more

Thank You!!!! 5/9/2004

I just wanted to let as many people know how great this new place is. My 2 sisters and I threw our husbands a joint surprise party at Uptown this past Saturday night. We had 200 guests attend. I could not believe how well we were treated. The staff and management went out of their way. The food, music, ambience, and drinks were AMAZING. We had our party at Uptown's "Skylight Bar". I must say.....Hands Down, a great event...We will be back and appreciate making this party so impressive to all our guests. Great job! Sincerely- Caitlin, Riley & Molly Pros: great ambience, great food more

Best place on Upper East Side 5/3/2004

This place was long overdue and Uptown definitely exceeded my expectations in many ways. The atmosphere is great, the outdoor cafe is unbelievable, and food was amazing at a very reasonable price!! I would highly recommend this place if you want a very good meal in a cool atmosphere, grab a few drinks with friends after work or come by on weekends for brunch. It's a great place. Pros: Outdoor cafe, Great bar, Hot staff more

very pleasantly surprised 5/2/2004

I recently stopped in to a new spot on the upper east side, appropriately named Uptown. This large space was recently redone and wow does it look great. They have a large outdoor sidewalk cafe area that was a ton of fun. I went with my girlfriend and another couple and we had dinner as well as drinks. The food was great and very reasonable. We ended up staying and hanging out at the bar till 3am. I was with my girl, but I have to say I was blown away by their staff, I'll be back with my boys. I've been waiting years for a place like this close to where I live. I'll definately be back. Pros: nice large space, beautifully decorated, great food more

Brilliant 4/13/2004

Great spot. Sexy looking, Great food, good music, and a phenomenal wine list. Good looking staff and plenty of room to move around in. Skylights were a big surprise. Had my doubts as it is still the UES - but Uptown Lounge is what the neighborhood desperately needed: A downtown lounge with an uptown address! ThirstyTraveler '04 more

IT'S ABOUT TIME 4/5/2004

It's about time the Upper East Side has a place you can stay at all night..not just a stop before or after you go downtown. I thought the ambience and music were great and the place even has good, reasonably priced food - we've been twice - once for just appetizers and the other for a sit down dinner. All in all I highly recommended this place.. Pros: Ambience, Music, Food more

Downtown Feel-Uptown 3/14/2004

My friends and I have been searching for a hip bar uptown with the feel of a dowtown bar--finally we found it! Uptown Lounge is the perfect place to go for people in their 20's, 30's and 40's who live or work on the upper east side. This is a place that you can go to if you want to relax with old friends or if you want to meet new ones. I can't wait to go back in the summer and have a drink outside... more

FINALLY!!! 3/5/2004

A restaurant with fabulous food, brings downtown ambience to the Upper East Side. The front bar scene is jumping for the single guys and dolls looking to get there groove on... The back lounge is perfectly situated under two clear glass skylights...it is the perfect decor for first dates or romantic dinners. The amber glow of the chandeliers and wall sconces sets the mood for a laidback and chill evening or getting groovy to DJ's tunes. more
