“ The best bar in town. Best people in town. The best music in town. The best bartenders in town. Jam nights on Wednesday night is amazing! ”
“ This is now my neighborhood bar. Cheap drinks and unpretentious crowd - great mix of games and activities and a very generous sized patio area. Very intimate setting when bands are playing. So much fun! ”
“ They must have a happy hour until 6:00. My vodka drink was around 5 !! Then everyone just got up and left at 6 !! I didn't order another drink so I don't know for sure. Maybe just a coincidence. The bartender asked me my order right away. I didnt order anything to eat and didnt see anyone eating. I did like this dive bar. Good juke box and I like this type of atmosphere much better than sitting alone at a bar where drinks cost 20 !! I would definitely come back!! ”
“ We had an unexpectedly great time on St. Patrick's day. love the new patio out front, not only is it dog friendly but it really opens up the dark inside of the bar. The band was a lot of fun. Fast and friendly service even when they got slammed. update 4/6 we returned: Nakiri & Evie loved the patio ”
“ We had a wonderful party in honor of our younger brother who passed away and we can't thank his friends enough for loving him as much as we did, his bar buddies and golfing buddies did this special party "Wake" For Him!! 5 Gold Stars to everyone!! ”
“ Good times, low prices, and a whole lotta fun. Forget fancy cocktails – here, draft beers reign supreme and won't break the bank. But don't underestimate the atmosphere. Darts, ping pong, billiards, and even pinball machines ignite friendly competition, while the laid-back bartender keeps the drinks flowing and conversation lively. Bonus points for the welcoming regulars who make you feel like part of the gang instantly. Vista Uptown Bar isn't fancy, but it's the kind of place where authenticity shines and memories are made. ”
“ Great place. Pool, ping ping, soft darts, pinball, large connect 4. Lots of live music. Bartenders rock and make you feel great with their humor and speedy service. ”
“ We don't usually do bars, but a neighbor of ours was performing there. We were pleasantly surprised to see that most of the folks there were seniors. Not sure if that was because of the band, but it was nice to have people our age around. ”
