This place is WACK! The scene is full of young college kids. Candy Sims of Bigs Entertainment approached me to have a birthday party on a Friday night. It’s called the “Perfect Birthday Party”. She offered all of my guest to get in free before 12 Midnight that are on my guest list and $20 there after. But all of my guest had to pay! NOT one person got in FREE…this is a SCAM! The promoter holds the line until 12 midnight so you will have to pay. My guest were in before 11 pm and still had to pay. How embarrassing! The birthday party was even worse! No one from UPTOWN showed us where to set up the party, we noticed during the night there were over 15 other people that were approached with the same SCAM! Once Candy gets ahold of your list you are left in the dark about how your party will be set up….cake, balloons, bottles, guest,etc… DON’T GET FOOLED LIKE WE DID. ITS NOT A LOUNGE ITS A CLUB….COLLEGE KIDS WILL LOVE THIS PLACE….THERE IS NOTHING UPSCALE ABOUT UPTOWN!
This place SUCKS!!! Yes, it’s very well decorated and that’s what your paying for. I was invited there as a guest for a bday party. My husband’s name was listed by first inital and last name and they did not let him in without paying $20. Cool, I’m willing to pay for a good time. We get in there’s NO PLACE to sit(seating is very limited). They had us waiting around for them to open up VIP so we decided to get a bite to eat at the “resturant”. First, they would not seat us unless everyone ordered something. Second, I paid $20 to get in, I look around and see all these nice decorations and they hand me a menu that was printed off of the computer on plain Wal-Mart copy paper(no, there’s was no booklet cover or anything, just a plain sheet of paper; right off the printer cuz it was still warm). I put “resturant” in quotations because from what I can remember, there was about 7 to 10 menu items. I asked for a wine list… here comes the copier paper again with a total of about 6 wines to choose from. This a lounge with a kitchen, not a resutrant. The paper said $6 a glass for wine, when I got my check, they charged me $8 and informed me that the price had changed. Really? You just printed this from the computer, go back into Microsoft Word and change it. How are you going to give me something on paper then charge me a different price?
VIP…. VIP is a joke. You still have to pay $150 to sit down( or buy a bottle of $150 champainge). Here VIP means you get to stand up in a different part of the club.
I am not a snooty/uppity person by no means. I’m a 32 y/o working, middle class, lady and I enjoy a shot of Tequila or Bud Light just like the next person, but this place is ridiculas. I don’t mind spending money to have a good time, but this place is so not worth it.
I was not happy with Uptown Resataurant & Lounge! First of all there is limited seating for those of us that chose not to spend the $150 bucks to reserve a table,the entire club is considered “VIP” which I thought was just ridiculous, so if you are not “VIP” you can only stand around the bar. Second, way too many college kids there, the furniture is nice but attracting wrong crowd, music was ok, but only catered to the youngsters. The wait staff was rude and very impatient, no customer service skills at all! I decided to go there to celebrate my 38th birthday, bad decision,I was not impressed at all, it is definitely overrated. I will never return!
I had a great time at Uptown on Friday night. It’s very busy. I got there close to 1am and the line wasn’t too bad, but once I got in I had a blast. There were plenty of sexy ladies, a well dressed crowd and everyone was partying. The music was off the chain too. This is the spot to be at on Friday nights if you’re in your mid 20′s to early 30′s.
I have had the worse experience of my life. I’ve never been treated with such little respect in my life.
On last Wed a promoter approached me about doing a friend’s birthday party at Uptown Lounge. He said our guest would get in free before midnight. 1/2 of our guest ended up having to pay 20.00 even though they were there before 12:00. Even though that was an issue we didn’t sweat it. Then we had problems getting the VIP room which he promised.
Once we finally got into the VIP the waitress gave us the bottle menu. On the menu they had Hennesy 50.00 a bottle. We decided to get 2. She brought the bottles and open them and started pouring shots. Everything was cool. We all were having a great time. Then at the end of the night she bring us a check for 708.00. Her reasoning for the high check was they don’t sale 50.00 bottles. The cheapest bottle they had was 300.00 and it was a error on the menu.
After a long night of arguing about the ticket. She asked me to come back on today to resolve the issue. She kept my credit card and my ID.
On yesterday. I called the manager and confirm our meeting today at 2:00. She said she’ll be there to take care of this issue.
I get to the club today at 1:50 and she wasn’t there. The girl in the club called her and she said she didn’t drive today and was going to get someone to bring her. My response was why didn’t you call me. Her response was just go ahead and pay the bill and you can get your card back. I told her I was only paying for 2 $50 bottles plus tax and tip. She started yelling and said she would have me arrested. I encouraged her to call the police. After I saw I couldn’t resolve it with her. I gave the phone back to the lady at the door. She called another manager who said the same thing. They both said “we must have got the only menu in the bar that have the wrong price on it.” Please keep in mind that I have a copy of the menu and that price is on all of them. I also mentioned to her about having to pay to get in before 12:00. She said she don’t work the door and the promoter will say whatever it take to get people to the club. That’s not her responsibility.
So I’m standing there. Talking to the lady and some guy come out the back and say is that the guy who tried to run out on the check. The girl said yes. He yelled at us and said get the F out of his club. He grabbed me by the arm, lifted me and pushed me out. Keeping my credit card and ID. I called 911 they never showed up. So I left trying to get home to cancel my card. When I got home my card was ran for 250.00 (the entire available balance).
I will never return.
Resonding to Carlos:
I was thinking about going to Uptown on New Year’s if their having anything tonight, but after reading what happened with you, I change my mind. That’s really f-d up!
thanks for this i will not be going there anytime soon
Hey Peter, if you’re reading this, U better get a handle on your club!! I have only read 3 good reviews out of maybe 65 of them or so. Just because Taraji P. Henson and other celebs go there doesnt mean U are guaranteed this lounge. Customers are key, U know this! Fix the problems Peter!!
Well just from Peters attitude on the Housewives makes me believe if there was a problem he wouldnt handle it right without turning unprofessional and getting an attitude with you and the hell with trying to make the customer happy.
