Too expensive for me. Nothing really stands out nor makes it specially which why I was in shock about the prices (especially for this neighborhood, I mean cmon it's Hamilton Heights NOT midtown manhattan or Williamsburg)The bartender didn't know how to make a pretty common drink... and I think they looked it up on the phone... They also didn't ask for ID from this girl whom I overheard was only 18 when she started talking to this guy by me. But I think the bartender knew her... The place is pretty cozy and warm. The only thing that was weird was a guy (customer) asked if I wanted to buy weed from him. I told him I don't smoke but I think he was drunk and didn't believe me and was trying to start a fight about it. I also think they should hire security.

This small but super cool joint ( and im lady cool expert lol) is laying vinyls on your mind. Cool vinyls... Yaaaasss me likey! You will mostly experience music anywhere from Sinatra to Francoise Hardy, to Alice in Chain, ACDC, Aretha, Marvin, Michael and so much more including spice offering ( my favorite lol) while having the inside gansetts krinkle experience with an Evan Williams. And if you are super fancy you will experience some meticulously crafted cocktails by your bartender (Pete, Helena, Chris, Victor, Nadia predently) serving customers with local, national and international flair and tastes only this neighborhood joint offers with the cultural experience. How cool. Can we say cooool again. I wanna repeat cooool lol. yaaaassss!

  • Mikey Tavarez

my wife insisted we go there and have a few drinks. i kept reminding her i don't drink liquor, just beer. So we went anyways because, hey she wears the pants in the family. Anyways it's okay if you like small dives. Here you have to sit pretty close to strangers and make eye contact since the place is so small. i just want to have my drink in the back and not talk. But you can't do that here. If you like making small talk with strangers then you'll love the place. I just want to mind my own business and drink my beer...is that too much to ask? the Beer selection was okay too..

  • The Restaurant Guru In NYC

Bourbon Street in Harlem NY. Tiny place with a lots of souls. Turn table, old rare records. Classics playing. Bring your own records if you like. Play it and take it with you or leave it in-house for next time you visit. This is one of the amazing spot in Hamilton heights. Small in space big energy. The old and the new happening right here. Bourbon, whiskey, rye, gin, mules, old fashioneds, martini calls that is worthy of the upcoming bond movie ( slightly dirty with 3 olives) # specific cocktails and everything that makes great ambience.

  • Ndeye Anta Niang

I visited again and watch rock n roll magic potion making behind the bar. The bartender Victor sang to a rnr classic playing on the turn table and mixed bourbon with bitters and in a very meticulous way ( seemed like a scene if a movie called Alchemist lol) while singing and cheering to the song. This drink was being made for the sheriff visiting from out of town. We were in the classic bourbon scenery for a mn. Off course I enjoyed seeing this and got a kick out of the random even. That's the type of things happening all around.

  • Hair Fairy Anta The

Bourbon, whisky, cocktails, beer, models walking around this up and already caming neighborhood. Actually it has arrived lol. Everytime I go there and my maps pops up for review I'm excited to share the feeling. It's been consistent 99%of time and that's great. Turn table, classic rock, soul, blues and even foreign hits...Nice place in legendary Harlem Hamilton Heights. Go uptown. There s me having my bday shot. I had one in every spot around my neighborhood. Fun spot.

  • Eve G

What a wonderful place to have a drink! Nice bourbon selection (only place in the area serving Blanton's), in addition to wine, & cocktails. Vinyl music always playing & because it's a small place, there's always neighborly conversation as it is a locals hangout. The post pandemic staff is so friendly & always there to offer a great time. Chris, Joseph, Kat, Keith, Peter, Seth, & Topher are some of the best bartenders in NYC. Highly recommend!

  • Eamonn Tobin

Was a great bar until one of their regulars, anta, attempted to have me physically assaulted in the bar due to mistaken identity, and the owners are apparently okay with that, despite a strict ban on fighting, and still welcome her. A shame, it was a good bar and I was friends with all the staff. Miss the place but won’t be back until the owners live up to their principles.

  • Naomi H

Great cozy spot for bourbon, cheap beer, and tunes playing on a record player. The service was friendly and efficient. They have a solid menu of bourbon forward drink options. Also, it's hard to pass up a happy hour where beer is $2, wine is $5, and the cocktail of the week is $10. Seemed to be a mostly local crowd which is always a nice thing in New York.

  • anatole beffort

Yo this place is a freaking vibe. Super small space all locals, very friendly, little to no menu, but order what you want and the bar tender my be able to provide. Insanely friendly nice staff... Literally came back a day later and the bar tender remembered our drink order from the night before. This a sitcom in real life people

  • Leonardo Hidalgo

Excellent cocktail bar in Hamilton Heights. The bartenders really know hoe to make an amazing drink. If you're looking for something specific or off menu, they'll happily help you out. Have brought multiple friends to this place and have enjoyed every time. They also have some cheese or meat plates if you're feeling peckish.

  • L P

Very cool and chill uptown bar with what seems to be hundreds of different bourbon options. They even carry some rare and hard to find Bourbons which I was pleasantly surprised to see and try. Bar is small but bartenders are friendly and attentive. A great uptown bar you should definitely visit if you’re in the area.

  • Rob Brink

I love bourbon. And maybe there might be only one or two bars in NYC that can compete with the array of bourbons here. I doubt you can find them at this price -- and nothing beats his neighborhood for friendly, inclusive vibe. And the barkeeps mix a great mint julep, Sazerac, Manhattan, or Boulevardier.

  • Manny Mamakas

Great selections. Very nice décor. Great staff. Ask for a whiskey, they will offer it, and say something like, "If you like that one, try this one..." Makes a world of difference when the staff is knowledgeable and cares. Not an upsell, but just a genuine hospitable, knowledge of spirits. Top notch!

  • Rickie Roberts

Witnessed, personally. Ice for a drink that fell on the floor that was put into a customer's drink. Need to call for city inspection which i have done. I suggest you purchase only pre-packaged (bottled) beverages to ensure safety. City adgecies notified for your protection.

  • Sarah Bradley

Absolutely loved our experience! Cat was ahmazing and was so friendly. Definitely a 10 outta 10 experience and will hopefully come back on our next adventure ! Joseph was absolutely great as well. If you have a chance to take a late night drink here definitely do it!

  • Supermodel ANTA NIANG

Awesome Manhattans and old fashions, M.mule's, Dale s having $1 donation on every of it's beer you drink. Pretty cool. Save the world while you drink bourbon in uptown Harlem. New Orleans Bourbon Street has a baby. It's called Uptown Bourbon! Now shake ur body right!

  • S Cruz

Very low key, small and airy spot. These types of bars are not easy to find uptown. Went there for a happy hour and Barry White and Michael Jackson vinyl records playes on their record player . Very good for people watching from their wide open frontage.

  • William Ford

Uptown Bourbon is a fantastic, cozy little joint. I haven't eaten anything from the limited food menu, but the cocktails are top-notch and the atmosphere is always enhanced by the excellent old school music from the record player at the end of the bar.

  • Ben Silberman

Perfectly executed manhattan: check Solid selection of canned/bottled beer: check Modest (great) pricing: check Friendly and knowledgeable staff: check Bonus that the music is vintage vinyl and the lighting is on point. I will be a regular.

  • Family Fan

Nice cozy bar. An impressive selection of very hard to get bourbons here. Kind of stuff you can’t find at normal stores. Definitely warrants a visit every time I’m in need of some great whiskey when I’m uptown. Strongly recommended.

  • Oscar Garcia

Very solid selection of Bourbons, Rye and Other whiskeys. Excellent cocktails. Very impressive for the neighborhood. This is a true Whiskey Bar. The Apricot old fashioned and Hemingway Daiquiri are a hit. Great vinyl collection.

  • Mary Murphy Browne

This is a reliably good bar, with a local, cozy atmosphere. My boyfriend first introduced me to it, and I love bringing people here. Love the vinyl selections. One of my top picks in the neighborhood. (Lion’s Tail is my drink!)

  • Sam Jimenez

My fav place in the neighborhood. Ownership is lovely and the bartenders never fail to both know what they are doing AND keep you entertained. It's also a bit of an after hours stop because they are open till 2am (precovid)

  • Joseph Brian Stanley

Great spot for a drink and a shot. A great addition to the neighborhood. Check out the happy hour selection. If you like shots of whiskey and midiocre beer then this is the place! Great regulars that make you feel at home.

  • Justin Starkenburg

This slightly hidden treasure will serve you an authentic mint julep, which is tough to find anywhere in the city. Combined with a clean interior and friendly service, I'm sold. Good for small groups or solo.

  • Kyle Sachs

Great relaxing spot in Hamilton Heights. Classy, clean, and friendly!!!! Low key relaxation spot. Staff is super friendly and caters to regulars and industry people. A great spot to unwind or meet people.

  • Laura Leonardi

The place is awesome with old great music in vinyl records and the bourbon!!!! What amazing bourbon :). We try a mojito-bourbon that was heaven! The whole crew is super friendly and make you feel at home.

  • Doris Vignapiano

Cozy hot spot, great vibes & good drinks. Tons of vinyl, choose what you want, they will play it for you. First time there, we felt right at home, thanks to our Godson who's a regular. We'll be back!

  • Corrie Ehler

If you're looking for a great vibes night, this is the spot. The walls are filled with albums, and stacks of albums from you to choose from to set a soundtrack. Good hangout and great people.

Finally have a chance to enjoy a decent bourbon over ice & having a wonderful outside seating space at Uptown Bourbon. Great price, great drinks, great service!!

  • Zoe R

You can get a good pour of something mid shelf for under $20. Bartenders will help you find something that suits your palate and price range and offer samples.

  • Anthony Siragusa

Great selection of drinks and cool vibes. Employees were kinda rude and uninviting though. Not sure why. Probably won't be back despite enjoying the drinks.

  • Frederic Harris

Uptown Bourbon is a quiet upscale place for cocktails or beverages. Good place to go with friends to catch up because you can hear each other talk.

  • Andrew Palumbo

Cool place to bring a date, a bar but quiet enough to have a private conversation. Very good cocktails and the option of 3 or 4$ beers too.

  • Jeffrey Lahens

Awesome bourbon bar filled with vinyl records to play and very cool atomosphere. Everyone is extremely friendly but not in your face.
