    Very rude and entitled bartender, no idea who he is, pretty cool place otherwise

    Wonderful, dimly lit (how I like it) bar. Very friendly & affordable. Pool table & juke box, always comfortable. A good place to while away a few hours. Good mix of friendly regulars & random people off the street. Very personable staff. Honestly my favorite bar in the Mission. On a shoestring? Enjoy $2.50 Hamm's all night.

    My absolute favorite dive. It boasts a pool table and a jukebox. The worn in couches and booths are comfortable places drunkenly discuss philosophy. The bartenders are well read, nimble, and charmingly snarky. Thursdays, around midnight the place is overrun with poets and romantics. A real piece of San Francisco.

    Nice little dive bar. What you see is what you get and I love it.

    Very kind bartenders and a fun hang place to hangout. They have a pool table and a jukebox. Queer friendly and cash only!

    Uptown has a special place in my heart! Toward the tail end of a bar crawl, this bar is the place to ground yourself and have beautifully drunken conversations with good company. The service is top notch. You won’t feel overlooked or over exerted while you pause and regain your senses to request a drink. It is truly a shame that they will be closing come January 1st. Do yourself a favor and visit Uptown before then.

    Quite possibly the best place in San Francisco, perhaps the world.

  • 5/5 Alaina Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. It's a perfect specimen of chill queer dive. It's not a Gay Bar; it's a queer bar, and as a queer cis woman I feel totally comfortable, I'm not intruding on a space that isn't made for me. The beer selection has a nice mix of mostly indue ferries breweries with a few old standbyes for those who like their Guinness and Rolling Rock. The vibe is very much "chill dive". There's a pool table in an open adjoining room. The vinyl booth seating is heavily patched. The bartenders are friendly. I live in the Castro and have my pick of queer bars, but this is by far my favorite.

    Not a local but if dive bars are your thing then yours better hit this place up.

    This is a bad ass little drive bar in the Mission. There is some good seating and a pool table. I'm pretty sure it's cash only. If you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of Valencia st, head on over here for a smaller crowd.

    A proper dive bar, gritty yet comfortable place to spend some time. They have a pool table and a soild playlist

  • 5/5 James Van der V. 4 years ago on Google
    This is the best all inclusive neighborhood bar that has amazing bartenders and a great pool table. I will always go out of my way to support The Uptown!
