The Bar Uptown is now open at 5504 N. 7th Ave. With an atmosphere that aims to conjure up late-90s to early-2000s nostalgia for guests, this second location for the neighborhood bar concept opened in late February, bringing food, ice-cold drinks, games and entertainment, and a loaded event schedule to the area.
“Due to the success and popularity of The Bar Arcadia, we wanted to bring something similar yet uniquely its own to our diners in Uptown Phoenix,” said owner Frank Vairo. “We are excited to present the neighborhood with a place to eat, drink, play, interact and just have a really great time in a welcoming and inviting space.”
The new location features 2,800 square feet in which to do just that. The main dining room features a massive bar, ample seating, dartboards and a pool table; vibrant artistic murals and endless CDs adorn the walls, and a black-lit game room features everything from Skee-Ball and video golf to Big Buck Hunter and a classic claw machine.
Uptown will feature DJs spinning tunes on the weekends, dart and pool tournaments, karaoke, bingo and trivia nights and more. A few carry overs from the Arcadia location, such as Dollar Wing Night, will also be featured.
The menu will be similar to the one at The Bar Arcadia and guests can enjoy a full bar as well as signature house cocktails inspired by popular favorites from the Arcadia location, created by in-house mixologist Ella Perez.
Weekly food and drink specials will be offered in addition to everyday features and happy hour specials. The Bar Uptown will be open daily from noon to 2 a.m. Happy hour takes place Monday through Friday from noon to 6 p.m.
