I was looking for a place in the area that was showing UFC 162 this last weekend, and Bottomzup was the third place I called, and the girl on the phone informed me they were showing it, and there was no cover charge. Sweet!
Let me backtrack a little and say that I'm a female, who just happens to love watching UFC fights, and Bottomzup was definitely a great location! I can see how it caters to the male crowd, with the girls' uniforms reminiscent of Hooters, but they were red/white/blue, vs. the orange shorts (I actually worked at Hooters throughout all of my undergrad, so I ain't even hatin').
I dragged another girlfriend with me, and we snagged some seats at the bar! We had a few beers, and I ordered the lucy juice sliders and my friend had the ribs. The sliders were actually really good. There were three of them, and they were pretty small, but filling enough for me. The owner, Eddie (I think that was his name?), came around and asked how we were doing, which I thought was cool! He told me that he created the sliders- they had like bacon and cheese or something inside.. Yum! And my friend enjoyed her ribs, but she couldn't finish them because it was a good-sized portion!
Service was decent enough. In a bar filled with dudes, I wouldn't expect the girlies to be paying attention to my friend and me, haha. Duh. But service was still great and I have no complaints.
As for the fight, this place is a GREAT location to watch UFC or any other sporting event. They have TV's lined up side-by-side along the walls of the restaurant. I wish they had an occasional larger TV in some parts of the room, but hey, it's already awesome enough with what they have.
I'll definitely be back for the next fight! :)
Decided to try this bar when driving down Jericho trnpke, I saw a bus covered in an ad for this spot. A buddy of mine ad I went there to watch a Yankee game on a Wednesday. We figured on trying this place mid week to avoid the Thursday/Friday crowd. The place is huge and we were two of maybe 15 patrons present.
The good : no shortage of tv's, beautiful waitresses and bartenders. A decent choice of beers.
The bad : food does not justify the price; $14 for a burger. Checkers or Five Guys make a better burger for half the price. Our burgers took nearly 30 min to leave the kitchen, which is unjustifiable when here are only 15 patrons, half which are only drinking at the bar.
Also, I noticed a sushi bar which one brave patron ordered from. I can't comment on the sushi bc I know better than to try sushi at an American burger/wing joint.
In a nutshell, we paid $70 for two subpar burgers and a couple of drinks. I can however say that our waitress was knowledgable and friendly, but I can't imagine how long it would take for food to come out on a busy night.
What a disappointment! Â I went with my husband and teenaged son for dinner at 7:45 on a Saturday night. The place was empty. We had a groupon so we decided to try it out. Â The food was typical, nothing special and the drinks were watered down. Before we placed our order, I informed our waitress that we had a groupon. My husband was going to order the strip steak but the waitress informed us that it was not included in the groupon. Instead he opted for the skirt steak.
When the bill came we were charged 21 dollars for the skirt steak and they instead included my 13 dollar steak sandwich and the other entree as part of the groupon.  When we questioned it we were informed that none of the steak entrees were included in the groupon.  The owner (I believe it was the owner) came to our table and was quite rude. I tried to explain that his waitresses need to inform new patrons of what is included and not included in these specials. How can she say something is not included but not know that the next thing we ordered was also not included?  The menu is very limited with only 5 entrees and 2 of them were not included in the groupon. The skirt streak was less expensive then the ribs which was included. I don't get it.  The owner was not nice and told me he didn't care if I was disappointed and didn't come back. Really?  Well that's no problem for me.  I will never go back there again. Places like this are a dime  a dozen.  If I was a betting woman, I would say that Bottumzup will not be around much longer. Â
Oh and just an FYI, I found it quite suspicious that all of the beginning reviews in February were all 5 stars and all gushing about this place. Can anyone say, ringers? Â Planting positive reviews to boost your image is pretty unethical and shady.
