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.

Bartender Cam was so good to us. Totally invested in our drink happiness. Wish every bartender was this warm and engaging.

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!
My waitress was amazing! I was skeptical about the food and the drinks when I came from the reviews my food was a 10 out of 10 and my drinks were a 20 outta 10 I will be back
I loved the autmosphere and the drink. Server was very attentive and nice. The fish and steak tacos lacked flavor. Overall I will still go back but try different food.
