The Uptown Beer Garden Story

Private events and group reservations- email [email protected]. Groups of 20-400!

Teddy Sourias and Craft Concepts Group (BRU Craft & Wurst, U-Bahn, Cinder, Tradesman's, Tinsel) announce the return of Uptown Beer Garden to 1735 JFK Blvd. Starting this Thursday, May 16, 2019, from 5:00pm to Midnight, kegs will start to pour for Uptown's fifth summer and fall season with a weekend-long grand opening party in the heart of Center City. Changes for the 9,000 square foot outdoor pop-up garden will include six exclusive beers specially for Uptown guests, the return of exclusive brew Uptown IPA, a new and expanded food menu, expanded bar service, brand new tents, more furniture and design elements, and a new charity partner in Sunday Love Project.

FOOD AND DRINK MENU FOR OPENING -

Uptown Beer Garden will see a new face behind the massive outdoor grill with Executive Chef Nathan Kilbride taking the lead for 2019 from BRU Craft and Wurst and Craft Concepts Group. Building on the success of last year's food program, chef will bring you new elevated backyard grill fare and pub favorites. The new menu for 2019 includes some returning customer favorites and new items. The focus this year is to tighten up the menu and focus on what customers want - while we challenge our team and maintain high quality. Plus, add some menu items that customers have been asking for, specifically some seafood options and tacos.

SIX EXCLUSIVE BEERS - INCLUDING FIVE NEW FOR FIVE YEARS!

Craft Concepts Group wanted to continue to evolve the quality of products at beer gardens and take craft drafts up a notch by again creating exclusive beers only available at Uptown for the 2019 season.

Director of Operations and Beer Director Alex Bokulich collaborated and brewed each of the customer beers with some of his favorite brewers. Quotes and descriptions from Bokulich are below. He worked on this during the entire winter and early spring to be ready for this ambitious line-up for the May opening.

"In previous years, I worked with some of my favorite local breweries to get "special" beers that we collaborated on, and I went out to assist in brewing," said Bokulich. "Originally the idea was to create something available nowhere else, to set us apart from everybody else. While we started with a few selections as a test, last year we evolved to all six draft lines pouring exclusives. We will repeat that again this year and introduce five new products. This is a great way to challenge our team even more and work on creating a fully custom list for the summer - and this is now part of our tradition every year. The exclusivity is nice, but at this point, the greater intent is to custom make six products that perfectly suit the drinking trends and proclivities of the Uptown customer, and for the gestalt to be a unified list that fits together seamlessly, highlighting some of our favorite local breweries, and covering all flavor and body profiles to fit all tastes."

The six exclusive offerings are all designed to work well both on cooler spring/fall evenings and nights, as well as the oppressive summer heat - but still there is some variance in strength and body.

Lime City Lager American Lager, Love City 4.0% Lime Zest, Cascade Hops

Bay 6 Pils Keller Pilsner, Sly Fox 5.1% German Saaz & Saphir Hops

I Love You All... But You’re Terrible Mango Blonde Ale, Evil Genius 5.6% Mango, Lime Juice

Garden Weisse Hefeweizen, Mainstay Ind. 5.3% German Hops & Malt

Party Boy Pale Ale Pale Ale, 2SP Brewing 5.5% Mosaic & Denali Hops

Uptown IPA India Pale Ale, Pizza Boy 6.5% Simcoe & Amarillo Hops

VIBE AND DECOR

Uptown Beer Garden is nestled among the trees of the courtyard outside the high rise. The 9,000 square foot urban oasis features slab communal tables, outdoor lighting, outdoor bars, rustic decor, craft cans and drafts, cocktails and sangria, a giant outdoor grill, and a menu of backyard BBQ and elevated pub favorites. Uptown will also offer access to adjacent private event space for larger (or more exclusive) parties in the inner atrium of the BNY Mellon Wealth Building. Based on the popularity of Uptown in 2017, look for additional events to be announced this year, and private events will have the opportunity to work with an expanded private event staff for private party planning in the current space and adjacent spaces.

HAPPY HOUR AND SIPS SPECIALS -

Happy hour will run six days a week, on Monday and Tuesday, from 5:00pm to 6:00pm and Wednesday to Friday, 2:00pm to 6:00pm. Specials include:

Sweet Tea & Blackberry Sour cocktails $6
$4 Bavarian Pretzel

NEW CHARITY PARTNER -

Uptown Beer Garden announces the 2019 season charity partner, Sunday Love Project.

Sourias and his family - and Craft Concepts Group - have a history of feeding the homeless at the holiday time of year. Instead of just doing it when its popular and around Christmas, the company decided to expand and support feeding the homeless year-round through making Sunday Love Project this year's charity partner for Uptown Beer Garden.
