“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really“

Also has a gaming room with all of the best machines. As the sign on the building says its “the best kept secret in Cicero”!!“

“I love The Uptown. Live music every weekend is why I come here and all the bands are good and rock out. Cheap drinks are always a plus and the tasty frozen pizzas can keep you going throughout the night in case you get hungry. All the bartenders are great and friendly with everyone. There is a big parking lot behind the place just in case you can't find a spot in front. Great vibes overall so come on down and grab a drink 🍻“
