“G-man and the staff do it right!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013

Visited Nelson a few weeks ago for the tail end of the ski season. On a locals recommendation we stopped in and it ended up being one of the better nights of our trip. We enjoyed the food and the staff so much that we decided to stay another night in Nelson. The service was excellent and the G and... More

“My new go to place in town!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2013

As a local, I will be the first person to admit I didn't always like going to the Uptown Sports Bar but all that has changed as it is now my preferred spot for an evening out. The staff are amazing! They are always quick to bring drinks and menus. They always know what I want and get it right... More

“Peanut butter burger and ginger beef pasta”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2013

I had the new peanut butter burger a little more than a week ago, and it's awesome. Turns out peanut butter goes with almost anything, even red onions. Delicious. The ginger beef pasta is an excellent meal. There's a couple of huge prawns in each bowl of pasta. Very good!

“Accommodating and awesome especially on hockey nights!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2013 via mobile

Great service and a super sports bar for hockey fans. Grant was especially helpful. Love the jersey give away on Vancouver games. Free wifi is a plus!

“Mrrphhf”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2013

Loved the staff...VERY accommodating! But, unfortunately my evening of delicious food was not so great! First, the rice pasta, although on the menu, was not available...boo! Second, the caesar salad was like soup, way too much dressing, I actually could not finish it! Third, I ordered the Mushroom truffle risotto...which comes with fresh herbs, truffle oil, and shitake mushrooms. Although... More

Dear Amie C, Thank you for your review of our establishment. Obviously with your visit we fell well short of our usual standard. We are known in the Nelson area for our exceptional food quality, and am shocked by these comments. I have no excuse for you but to say that this is by no means our usual standard. I... More

“where is the service?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2013

In a group of four, we had beverages that seemed never to be filled. We actually had to go to the bar, where we had some luck wetting our whistles, but not much. The food although delicious came late, and was brought to our table by a food runner who told us he couldn't fill our drink orders. Our group... More

“Wine Prices”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2013

I agree with the last review, the price of their house wine is over the top. This is a sports bar not a fancy restuarant and their drink prices should reflect the location. If I wanted to pay the high prices for a glass of wine, I would suggest a nicer location.

Dear JMBNelson, As I mentioned in the review you were commenting on. There is obviously a miscommunication here, as we offer 20 different house wines by the glass. Our base house wine is priced at $5.25/glass, which is competitive with everywhere else in town. We have a large clientele that enjoy higher end options, so for this we are happy... More

“Wine price at the Uptown Tavern”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2013

As a local, we eat out at least once a week and try to eat in different areas in Nelson. Tonight we had an awesome meal at the Uptown Tavern. BUT the price of the wine was absolutely ridiculous. We asked for a 1/2 litre of white wine - said we were fine with the House Pinot Grigio. We had... More

Dear DebraJ181791, Thank you for your recent review of our establishment. We are very happy that you had an amazing meal with us, and enjoyed the atmosphere of our pub.

Place is dirty and run down. Very slow on the food coming out of the kitchen. Feel sorry for the wait staff.
