Master Critic Review

Uptop 7.9
Elmhurst
A second-floor lounge that treats happy hour like a social circuit—games, music, and a snack-driven menu that includes taco specials. Come early, claim a table, and treat the tacos as a supporting move to drinks and momentum.

What makes it special: A games-and-music lounge where tacos show up as a happy-hour deal.
Who should go: Groups who want drinks and activities
When to visit: Happy hour before the late crowd
What to order: Happy-hour tacos, one shared snack, a round of drinks
Insider tip: Go early for the best tables—later turns into party flow.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; can be tight during happy hour and evenings, easier earlier in the day.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning trendy—jeans are fine, but most people dress to go out.
Noise level: Loud—music and games make conversation possible but not intimate.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without arriving early, especially after 7pm.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically; happy hour is the main draw.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—limited taco and snack options work for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Very limited—best to stick to simple items or drinks-focused visits.
Gluten-free options: Limited—corn-based tacos may work, but cross-contact is likely.
Best For
Better for: Social energy, group hangs, and treating tacos as a snack alongside drinks and games.
Consider Alternatives If: You want tacos to be the main event, a quiet meal, or a family-friendly setting.
