This little dive bar is within walking distance from our hotel. Since this by Bar is so close to a hotel we decided to walk over to it to grab a drank. Of course we were several minutes late for happy hour and the bartender was not willing to give us happy hour prices. Not a big deal to take your places are pretty cheap. The bartender the evening with one of those where I felt like I was trying to provide her with excellent customer service. I get it everybody how's your day madame why am I charted ask you how you're doing as if I'm the bartender?!?! I was able to play one dollar on one of their slot machine for almost 30 minutes. Not being a gambler at all this is perfect for me! I overheard the couple to my left were winning. This far house about 8 slot machines. read more

Great neighborhood bar, amazing food and even better service. Very friendly staff and customers

Stopped by for dinner with the wife as we haven't eaten here in a long time. Service was good and food was even better. Great 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburger with fries. Their Tot-chos was enough for 2 people easily. Highly recommend. read more

Good food good service but terrible Air Conditioning. Very uncomfortable. Could hardly finish a burger before I had to get out. They only have window AC 90 outside hotter inside. Told them I will be back this winter. To bad because the good is great. We were there at about 6:00 p.m. read more

Don't bother. Dirty and a little stinky dive, you have lots of better choices than this. If there wasn't another reason to stay away, they created one. They don't allow backpacks, even small ones that hold computers. Edit: Julie, I'm assuming you are the owner. I will let others judge your comment for themselves. I had 10 minutes of critical work to do on my computer..but I was hungry and thirsty. I took s cab so there was no place to put my computer bag. Unsure what the reasoning behind your no backpack rule but I found another place around the corner that had no problem with it. In fact, 99% of other bars have no problem with it read more

Great neighborhood bar. They have a small outdoor patio also. Drinks are good (and strong). Didn't order any food but it looked good! They also have a few slot machines. read more

This is a little local bar with bar food and normal bar-ness. ;-) I had a couple beers and a french dip with fries. Pretty straight forward. I ate and drank, paid my bill and left. Just a good old hang out place for the locals. Not much on atmosphere, but they have cold beer on tap and a full bar. read more

This restaurant/bar was such a pleasant surprise! Truly if you haven't already tried this place, I encourage you to do so. It has the absolute best crunchy chicken salad I've had in a long time. This was no bagged salad, this was crisp fresh lettuce with crunchy red onions, sweet tomatoes, black olives, and cucumbers, and was so wonderful. The chicken was crunchy and warm which only added to the flavor. I like eating a salad without dressing, but these days what you get is a bagged salad that who knows how long it's been sitting around and it hardly taste like anything. If you get a couple of grape tomatoes thrown in there, you're lucky. You have to cover it up with dressing. At this place, you don't need a thing, past a little salt and pepper. So great! The other thing we had was the Ruben. Talk about good! For me it was a little salty, but other than that, it was served on dark rye like it's supposed to be served with a nice sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing. The French fries were crisp and not oily. They have quite a good selection of beers as well. The only thing to say in the negative, which is why this isn't a 5-star review, is there wasn't any air conditioning! It was quite warm. When it's 100 degrees outside, it's great to step inside a really cool place for a great lunch. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Truly a gem in the forest of restaurants. read more

Try the Salted Carmel Martini! My dad raves about it. We come here due to the close proximity to home. The food is decent, the atmosphere is alright and the beer is cold. read more

DO NOT EAT OR DRINK HERE. For the third time, I went there with several friends and the "server" was INCREDIBLY rude. Both times prior I gave them a new chance and I was sorely disappointed. When I told them we would never come back she said "good". Times are tough. Spend your money and time on an establishment that deserves your money. Oh and also, the drink was short poured. You have been warned. read more

Had a fantastic burger/fries special for lunch here today. Restaurant is more bar than grill with a limited menu but adequate for most folks seeking Americana. They also have specials daily. They have multiple beers on tap but I was surprised they only had Bud on tap. Server was the bartender which was ok as it was not busy. Might be a challenge if busier. She was great, friendly and checked on us regularly. Kudos to her and the chef for such a spectacular burger. read more

Update! $6.75 burger and fries at lunch. Awesome burger! This is a solid bar good option in grants pass. I've only been for lunch but everything is hot, tasty, priced right and with great service. read more

I joined a group of friends at Uptown recently to enjoy a good meal and a couple beers. We were laughing and having fun conversation that eventually turned to a group examination of a political nature. No one in my group was angry or elevated and as far as I was concerned, we were engaged in a civil and level headed discussion. I might add that at least three other guests were inviting themselves to our discussion and mirth. Suddenly the young dark haired bartender yelled across the room that "we don't discuss politics at Uptown"! Really? Last time I checked, Uptown was still in the geographic United States which it's citizens are protected by the constitution, (specifically the first amendment). My friends have invited me to join them again this evening but we have decided to venture to another location this time. I am not looking for a confrontation with the bartender but I will not be told my freedom of speech as an American citizen will be revoked at a pub. read more

Great food. great friendly service very prompt. Follow covid rules safe place to go.

Waitress was extremely rude.. don't go if you have a group of more than 7 they won't even try to accommodate you..

First time to try it, heard nothing but good reviews. The breakfast was wonderful. Simple menu with all the right items, eggs, omelets and steak and eggs. If you do not see them on the menu, make sure to ask for the fresh biscuits and sage gravy. It's tough to find real good gravy, this place has it. We will be back again! read more

I wrote a review on this restaurant on Beacon Bar and Grill..however, I would like to say again this was a terrible experience...unless we see some better reviews will never return..bad food, bad service (altho she really tried)..no star would probably be a better rating read more

Who would have thunk! Looks like a bar, not a great location, but the food is to die for, especially the Sat/Sun breakfast! The crowd is not your typical "bar flys", local people enjoying company, beverages, and great meals. It is a real pleaser, moderate cost, good value all around. Got to try it out! read more

I keep forgetting to take a picture of my food before I devour it. This would have been a good one to show a pic of. Ordered the basic hamburger with FF and a coke. The HB patty was hand formed and thick (wasn't char broiled which was a bummer) but still a good hamburger. But the FF weren't great, they were cooked to much and crunchy , I don't like hard FF I want them slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and twice as big as these were. These were your basic frozen pencil fries, to bad. To make a good homemade burger and downgrade the meal with frozen FF, yuk. Wouldn't be that hard to make unpeeled homemade FF to serve with a good burger. The waitress was busy but took good care of us. Overall the price was very reasonable for the meal. Having said all that I would like to have given the meal a 5 star but the FF blew it. However we will be going back for another HB when the craving calls but have made a note to tell them to not cremate the tiny frozen fries. read more

Passing through town and decided to give this place a try. The beer was tasty, the service was fast and friendly, and my Jalapeno Cheeseburger was perfect. There are 3 businesses listed at this address so I'm not sure of the current name. I would definitely go back. read more

Been going here for years. Great food and very cozy place!! NFL ticket on Sundays!! Always a good time.

Monday lunch, poor service but not the fault of the only server who was over loaded with serving 6 tables, bar tending for 7 patrons, doing the hostess job as well as bussing and cleaning tables. She was flying and doing her best but this is obviously a poor management issue. There should have been at least 2 people on the floor. My hamburger was just mediocre, soggy crinkle cut fries out of the freezer. The bun was stale and dry and crumbled as I tried to eat the burger. I don't see a reason to ever return. read more

I had a french dip..would have been better at Arby's my wife had a Reuben and it was about the same quality as mine. Pricing was high food quality low read more
