Uptown Lounge — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

I have had a great experience every time I go to Uptown, however, one “manager,” or so he claims he was, made me and my friends severely uncomfortable. His name was Nick and he was screaming at us to leave when there were plenty of other people in the bar.

Music was Engaging entertaining and fun. I highly recommend checking the place out oh best thing prices...

I usually tip especially with friendly upbeat service, but in this case I declined. I should have gone to Harry's. Better drinks and better service. I won't be returning to the Uptown. Sometimes satisfying your curiosity is not worth the effort. In addition they turned up their music so loud I was forced...
