Uptown

One of my favorite bars in the Mission.

I've come here a bunch of times in all of its previous incarnations and it's still a good spot to come to.

I generally come in the late afternoon to chill or get a little bit of work done with a pint. I've had a lot of random conversation with people at the bar which always makes this place an enjoyable spot. The drinks are also still well priced which makes it even more or a rarity in this day in age in the Mission.

The servers are almost always on point but the bathroom is still a bit sketchy after all these years so 1 star off for that.

The perfect queer-friendly dive! Drinks are cheap, there's a long vintage bar, they host fun events and the jukebox is bountiful!

Place is a garbage dump. Homeless people pissing all over the sidewalk outside. Saw a guy shooting up next to me outside while I was having a drink. Saw multiple homeless people harassing people as they walked. You or your friends will probably get harassed here, for sure.

They don't take credit cards so they can avoid paying taxes. Super bright inside, odd atmosphere and the drinks are watered down

Just a pure garbage dump of a bar. The owner is a piece of garbage human as well. He's a very large guy. I saw him harass multiple people inside while I was there. Literally yelling at them for no reason,  unbelievable and he shouldn't exist.

I can't think of a better bar for a bunch of middle aged, former bridge and tunnel hoodrats to drop in at. Took me way back to SF in my 20's. Cash only, vaxx required, all good with me.

Fab little dive bar with great queer vibes. All the feels being surrounded by a wonderful community. Park yourself at the bar if you can. Come for the drinks, stay for the entire-bar-Celine-singalong!

Was looking for a casual place to get a drink before heading to the airport, and this was just fine. Nothing bad to say but nothing great to say either. There were a few beers (and a cider) on tap. I asked the bartender what his favorite beer was but he said he didn't drink beer, still was able to give a few suggestions though.

Cash only

The couches were alright but I felt a little weird lounging on them (they gave me a feeling of not knowing who/what has been in contact with them..). Overall seating arrangement was kind of awkward.

Good comfortable neighborhood corner bar. Cash only. Non-techie. Pool table, sofas, booths. Best spot for blocks around.

I came here at around Friday 10+pm. It's truly a dive bar with locals and furnished with pool tables and pinball tables. Great environment for a friday night. This bar is great for groups, there's only street parking (as most cities do). They have all gender bathrooms.
I must say, stick with beer or wine here because they mixed drinks are pretty bad. We ordered a ginger whiskey amongst other things. I think it's safe to say they don't want you walking out sober :)

Uptown fuck me up.
This place has some rad drinks and good prices.
Great ambience was set by good music and chill people.
Get fucked up here, but expect to be kept out by the staff when you need water and napkins for whoever needs to get home.

Don't let the fact that yelp has this place categorized as a "lounge" fool you; Uptown is a dive bar! Just because there are some couches doesn't make this place a lounge.

Here are the arguments in favor of calling this place a dive:

1) It doesn't look like anyone has put any money or effort into the interior for the last 70 years.

2) Its cash only.

3) The bathrooms can be at best described as "no frills" and at worst "rough"

4) Bartenders that range from uninterested to plain old surly.

5) At any given time there is at least one regular customer drinking their life away.

This is my kind of basic neighborhood dive bar, it's rowdy and cheap; of course it used to be more interesting before they ran all the hookers off of Capp St.
