   If you love East Austin vibes and crave Louisiana-inspired flavors, Uptown Sports Club is a must-visit! I went with some friends for Saturday brunch, and everything about the experience blew us away. The staff was incredible—one of our servers even shared a bit of the building’s history, which made the visit feel extra special. You can tell this spot has deep roots in the neighborhood, and it shows in the care and hospitality they bring to the table. The decor is charming, with a mix of tables, booths, TVs, and a full bar. Outside, the patio is a lush little getaway with greenery everywhere—it’s Instagram-worthy for sure! I started with a French 75 ($12), a classic gin cocktail with champagne, lemon juice, and sugar, and it was the perfect way to kick off brunch. For my main course, I had the Shrimp & Grits ($18), and let me tell you, it rivaled some of the best I’ve had in New Orleans! The creamy grits, seared shrimp, and Cajun butter sauce were absolute perfection. Every bite was comforting and full of flavor. Uptown Sports Club has an incredible story—this building has been part of East Austin since 1949, and Aaron Franklin has done an amazing job bringing it back to life while maintaining its soul. I love that even as a local, I can still learn new things about this city. I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try the fresh oysters. If you’re looking for great food, cocktails, and an inviting atmosphere, Uptown Sports Club is the place to be! 💸 Pricing is fair for the quality you’re getting, and it’s worth every penny. 🕰️ Make a reservation if you can, especially for weekend brunch. ✨ Don’t forget to snap a few photos on the patio—it’s a stunner! Highly recommend this East Austin gem. 10/10 experience!

   Love the vibe and that they kept the original building. Great shrimp po boy and beef sandwiches. The gumbo is the best in town. Love this place.

   Forgot most of what we ordered. Served things we didn’t order. Had to wait for our table we reserved. So loud we couldn’t talk to one another. Overrated.

   Thank you for providing that info. It seems like we realized we didn't start things off strong and did our best to get things turned around. I spoke with our team and unfortunately, no one was made aware of the missing drink or entrees so we sincerely apologize for those errors. We do our best to provide great hospitality and it seems we dropped the ball. Although you said you would not come back I would love the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience on us. If you are interested please let me know and I would be happy to set up a reservation for you.

   Uptown Sports Club is a great neighborhood spot! We went around the holidays, so it was very festively decorated paired with delicious seasonal drinks! Would definitely go back. Great spot to hang out with friends, take a casual date, or grab a HH.

    Loved our visit and happy hour! We made plans for our next visit before we left. Everyone working there was super friendly with spot on service. The appetizers we tried were very good, especially the fried green tomatoes. We look forward to exploring more of the menu.
