Message from The Uptown Billiards Club

Dine. Drink. Play. Experience.

  • Non-Smoking
  • Private Parties
  • Casual Upscale Atmosphere

Unlike any other restaurant, pool hall or bar in Portland, Uptown Billiards Club combines classic elegance, sophistication and old-fashioned hospitality to create a truly unique experience. Our food is one of the best-kept secrets in town. We work exclusively with local businesses and farmers to bring to you the freshest, most natural and best tasting products. We offer a full dinner menu and weekly delights, including a five-course happy hour. Our menu evolves with the seasons and showcases classic dishes alongside original creations from our classically trained Chef. Enhance your experience with a classic or signature cocktail. Did we mention wine? We value wine as much as we value exceptional food and service. With our extensive list our goal is to educate, excite and open you to a world beyond Chardonnay and Merlot.

Editorial Review for The Uptown Billiards Club – by Anne Marie DiStefano

The Scene
From the climb up the carpeted stairway to the vista of immaculate pool tables, Uptown Billiards has the feel of a private gentlemen's club. There's even a cozy den with easy chairs and faux-bookcase wallpaper. The waitstaff is welcoming, catering to the normal northwest Portlander clientele--not pool sharks, earls or gangsters.

The Draw
Billiards is the main focus here and regulation-size tables available. Food and drink are affordable and well-presented. Expect fresh-juice cocktails and snacks like portobellos, grilled bread and fruit and cheese plates. Indulge in opulent drinks like the Beautiful (warm Courvoisier and Grand Marnier), or a single-malt scotch. The lengthy wine list ranges from reasonable to opulent, with Dom Perignon displayed prominently.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Uptown offers wine flights (tastings of a series of wines) for reasonable prices.

The Extras

Play blackjack or craps for free Friday from 9pm to midnight.

When to Go

The club closes down early if it's slow, so it's not a good place to try to squeeze in at the end of the night.

Know Before You Go

The hidden club is located on the second floor. Look for the gold door.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Please don't go here; it is my secret get away. Elegant but comfortable. Have never had a bad drink, food,or service.

Pros: Atmosphere, food, service

Cons: frequently closed for private parties-so have a back up plan for dinner

This is a great place to come if you are looking for a kick back place to shoot pool and even have a dinner with friends. The waitresses were very friendly and always there to help if you needed something. Their salads are amazing as well as their burgers. Since I am a non-smoker, if helps that they are a non-smoking environment. I would recommend this to all age groups who can attend.

Pros: Non Smoking and excellent service with spectacular food

Cons: Pool is a little spendy, but still worth it
