THIS is Flagstaff. Not fancy, but cool as h*ll,. Where else would you find a bar that does so much for..authors? (yes, I'm an author, even tho I don't hang out there for that reason). Unreal selection of whiskeys/scotch, great bartenders and the tables are fun. Our second-favorite Flag bar. Can get busy weekend nights, but what do ya expect? Wanna meet funky Flag locals? Hang out at Uptown.
Review Source:This is a great place to grab a brew. Beer selection is Excellent (nothing out of the ordinary though... if you're a brew fiend... you've most likely tried everything this place has already)
Every time I'm in Flag... this is on top of my list to get people together. It's chill enough to have conversations with friends but loud/busy enough to interest your crazy friends too.
Prices are VERY reasonable for drinks and the tables.
Great selection of beer on tap, including a couple of English options for bonus points. Scotch selection rivals the beer choices.
Good, mellow crowd of all ages, attentive and friendly bar tenders, books and board games in the back space where the tiny stage is, rarely an overly long wait for a table and free wi-fi so you can yelp it up if there is - all around winner in my book.
I'd dock a point for the 50c charge to use a cc for under $10 bucks, but I give it back because they just stated playing Davis's All Blues
My bf and I used to play pool all the time when we first started dating. I will fully admit that I am not a good pool player but I have fun with it. We got here about 8 and didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for an open table and we paid $8 for an hour of pool. The cider i ordered (I wish I could remember the name) was not good, it had an unpleasant aftertaste. There are lots of pool tables which was nice to not have a long wait for a table and the servers were nice.
Review Source:I used to love this place back in the day. Â They used to have a couple quarter pool tables, which were a lot less expensive than the sometimes $40/hr for the other tables. Â I'm not a pool playing guy, I just like to hang out and drink beer. Â Ok as a date spot. Â Pretty quiet and mellow. Â There's a jukebox, but the music played usually is the type that makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry yourself to sleep. Â My real issue with this place is with this horribly unfriendly bartender the last time I was there. Â 30-something guy with a healthy beer gut hating life. Â I used to bartend, and yeah, there's your bad days, but dammit, at least attempt to appreciate the business, especially when it's dead (wonder why)
Review Source:Although Uptown is mainly a pool hall, it also has the best beer selection in Flagstaff. Â Tons of Irish, English, German etc. imports as well as excellent microbrews. They even have a pumpkin beer on tap around Halloween time. Â Â Uptown draws an interesting crowd, mostly somewhat older (than the usual bar scene) people interested in playing pool or sitting at the bar drinking good beer. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and love to talk about beer. Â This is a great place if you want to have a quieter, more laid back atmosphere than some of the other bars in Flagstaff. Â The happy hour is also hard to beat, with half off any beer. Â I don't drink hard alcohol, but they also have a huge selection of this, if you're not into beer.
