DONT EAT HERE. The food is not edible. the worst I ever had in life. $22 for 2 tacos. They were dry. Fries rock hard. Wings were almost worst than the tacos. The venue is super cute. Games were fun. I would recommend going to chill with friends but eat BEFORE you go. Server and manger were nice. I gave 3 stars because our server was a sweet heart. If not this would be a 1 star review

Had an event at Utopian Tailgate and it was amazing! The space is super fun, colorful, and has such a great vibe. The staff made everything so easy and our group had the best time. Vibes and drinks were on point, and it honestly felt like the perfect spot to celebrate anything and everything. Highly recommend hosting an event here!

Fun, good vibes, good drinks. The service was top tiers. The set up is nice. They took down the bull but that did not stop anything.
I have gone here on multiple occasions and have been disappointed, but the last time I went was the final straw . I told the bartender that i’m a student at the second city and he honored the discount but some of the comments about how people who go through the program don’t make it isn’t the best look for a place who will be making money off of a lot of second city students . I tried ordering quesadillas and said I wanted just cheese since I am a vegetarian.. it landed up coming out with meat in it . The worst part was when I was having trouble with their POS system with apple pay . Our bartender got 4 different machines and was noticeably agitated and made it seem like my cards were the problem .. when I always use apple pay and don’t have the problem . He kept rushing for payment and I told him I wanted to make sure he got the tip and when i tried adding it that’s when the system acted up . He said that if the last machine didn’t work he would get the manager .. which is fine but the way he said it angrily wasn’t right . He made it seem like I couldn’t afford my tab .. when in reality I wouldn’t be there if I couldn’t . It made my friends and I feel bad and uncomfortable about the whole situation.

I really enjoyed this place & the food was good. I will definitely be going back there soon.
Bartender Cam was so good to us. Totally invested in our drink happiness. Wish every bartender was this warm and engaging.

I enjoyed utopian tailgates. I invited my siblings out for the first time. They love the ambiance and the food. The whole vibe was everything. My brother proposed to his girlfriend on the rooftop.‼️💍🎉🫶🏾
It was such a vibe, not a place i would go to just eat but was decent. Our server Lena was so dope she took excellent care of us. Came from out of town and will definitely be back my next visit
Great time

Went to celebrate my birthday! With some friends and my sister .. had a ball! Nachos was bomb ! And drinks got me there ! This is the place to drink nibble on small foods and play ! Our waiter “Lena” was the BEST!
My friend and I came to visit some family in town and decided we would stop by this bar. HIGHLY recommend and shoutout Alan for taking care of our orders all night he was amazing!! Everyone else was also just as amazing and super attentive. Highly recommend and would come back <3!

Pretty dissatisfied with our experience at Utopian Tailgate. A group of us made reservations at Utopian to celebrate a birthday brunch. Overall, the experience was OKAY.
Service needs a lot of improvement. While our waitress was attentive, the morning of our reservation, we received a phone call from Utopian that informed us we would need to exit the rooftop before 1PM for a private event. This should have been communicated earlier than the morning of our reservation, especially since we made our reservation almost 2 weeks before.
Also, since we were celebrating a birthday, we wanted to inquire about bringing a cake on the day of our reservation. We called Utopian multiple times throughout the week and nobody ever answered the phone.
Food is pretty mediocre but we weren’t expecting much. Not a great place for brunch as their options are very fast-food/Taco Bell vibes.
Cleanliness also needs improvement. The bathrooms were very dirty with one of the stalls full of throw up all over the toilets and floors at 11AM. So unsanitary.
The rooftop itself has pretty views of the city which was nice. Though, I agree with other reviews on here that some sort of shade would be a nice addition.

It was my first experience and I enjoyed myself. Everyone was attentive and nice they had us waiting due to a private event they had previously. They were very apologetic made up for the wait. Overall I love the experience
Worst food, rude staff, long wait with reservations and it doesn't matter if you have one because the walk-ins are allowed at the same time as you, overcharged, no refund—awful!
