Testimonials

“As a whole, the Uptown Tavern provided Clayton the exclamation point we needed to have our 2011 kick-off mixer. All the feedback I received from the employees was very favorable and asked when the next time we will be having another event there. Moreover, the serving team was very professional, courteous and really appeared to enjoy interacting with and having fun with the guests. With that said, we will definitely return for future events.”

–Clayton

"I just wanted to pass a HUGE thank you along to you and your staff for the excellent customer service on Saturday. The facility was perfect, the food tasted great, and service was top notch, I would definitely recommend Tavern Uptown to others for large parties or a happy hour drink."

–Fieldwork Denver, Inc.

"Our server at the Uptown Tavern was EXCELLENT! Even though it was a busy night and the rest of the place was packed, my group always felt attended to and well taken care of. The managers were great, too. They made a smooth shift transitioning and were good about checking in periodically. If any issues had arisen, I feel confident that it would have been taken care of right away.
The new couches were fantastic; light enough to move and made the room feel cozy. The fireplace was a nice touch, too. The skewers and sliders were cooked perfectly, the fruit was freshly prepared, and the hummus and veggie platter was very tasty."

–Strategic Programs, Inc.

“I am writing to express my sincere thanks to all who helped make the party a big success and to give special recognition to members of your staff who provided exceptional service. Our servers were fantastic. They were incredibly fast multi-taskers with excellent attitudes. No one was left wanting or waiting for a drink! I had a fabulous experience with the Tavern Uptown, as did the guests. Several guests commented that food was very good, and everyone thought that the space was perfect for private parties. I am thrilled with the way things turned out, and I won't hesitate to recommend you in the future.”

–Surprise 40th Birthday Party

“The Koi Pond is a beautiful spot; it was great. I chose to do my networking event at Uptown because I always get great value. The cost for the excellent quality of service, food and beverages cannot be beat!”

–Fairfield & Woods

“I know that this is a small event for you guys but it was so important to me and to my best friend (the bride). I wanted to make it perfect for her and it was. The entire family LOVED the pond area and our server was very attentive to us. The event coordinator had everything set up for us and I worried about very little. She was wonderful!! I think that you have a lot of new customers from this experience. Although I am a regular for your happy hour, there were many that did not know about your patio. They know now and can’t wait to come back. Thank you so so so much again!!”

–Bridal Shower

“We had a great time and appreciated the flexibility you gave us in setting up the room, our decorations, and technical needs.

Thank you so much for all of your help and I will definitely keep this experience in mind when planning my next event!”
