Uptown: Reviews & Ratings
I can't rate the food because I've never eaten here, but this is a great little dive bar. Staff is friendly, the music is always great, and plenty of parking.
This is deeper than a dive bar. It is a SCUBA bar. Be that as it may however, it's also one of the best places to "have a few" in the southern dupage area that it's in. It attracts a diverse crowd and has a very, shall we say, interesting, atmosphere and ambiance. Reasonable prices, live music weekly, karaoke weekly, and toaster oven pizza. It's like the underdog sports team or the cult movie that's so bad it's good. You love to hate it, but you wind up going back. It's the Malort of southwest suburban bars. So while it's a SCUBA bar... it's *our* SCUBA bar. Maybe one of the only reasons to set foot in arrestmont.
Great local dive bar. Good place to watch a game and hang out with friends low key energy with lots of locals.. Jermey and staff was great . Will be back again
Great dive bar. Live music regularly
Soul Fire Kings played here and the joint was hoppin! Great local dive bar with original and live music!
Absolutely the best place for being yourself.
This is a go to bar. Forget the corporate ba, real people, real service. You go there twice they will know your drink. Amazing live music, and otherwise a great place to watch sports games. Jeremy is a great owner/bartender, and his staff truly goes above and beyond most dive bars. It's not a dive bar as it's clean and open. Neighborhood bar with character, class, and cheap drinks. Just rip the great bartenders so they stay. Totally a hidden gem in dupage county. City people can also come as it's 200 feet from the train ...
Simply the best! Jeremy runs a friendly staff with still drinks on the cheap. The hospitality and people here are downright amazing!
