The best place to be in any neighborhood is the one where the locals go, the kind of bar and eatery shared only with folks who also appreciate the simple secrets of the good life. Welcome, friends, to Uptown Tavern! Centered on University Avenue in the heart of Hillcrest, Uptown Tavern takes a “super local” approach to both food and philosophy — just a couple of reasons why it’s a town favorite in every way. The masterful inside/outside rustic yet modern design takes full advantage of San Diego’s beautiful weather, HD TVs play all the right games, over 20 microbrews flow from the taps, and the locally-grown fare is fit to remember.
