James Ballentine Uptown VFW Post #246

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America . Order a Jack and (never more than a splash of) Coke to stoke your courage for the best karaoke the Cities have to offer. Read more

A little piece of small town South Dakota in Uptown Minneapolis. It's like they took the bar patrons, the building and drink prices back from where I grew up and plopped it in Uptown. It's awesome!

Front Door Dan is awesome.. Steve & Greg are my absolute favorite bartenders ... Terribly awesome karaoke-with no judgements-and cheap pitchers during happy hour !

Fernando for trivia is legitimately one of the BEST around. Fat Slash for karaoke , not so much. Also, the bartender on trivia nights is less than accommodating, but Fernando is totally worth the trip!

Dwayne is the best bartender !!! Also, have your wedding reception in the hall! Super affordable and you pretty much get free reign.
