How to describe Uptown Pub? Just look at the name, ya silly bear! Honestly, that about sums it up. It’s a pub, and it’s in Uptown, on the fringe of West Village. Fine. You want more? There’s a spacious patio in front of this century-old house that overlooks McKinney Avenue, so you can watch all the pretty people jet about on their way to some place that’s got more cultural caché. But you should stay at Uptown Pub for the good, cheap (albeit pedestrian) bar food. And you don’t have to fight 800 other people to get a drink. If the weather is anywhere close to nice, get there.
