8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen

Cool spot.
I wish we could have sat outside but the weather was a little cool.
They were busy, the service was good, the salad I ordered was messy because it was piled with strips of apple and as soon as I cut into it the apples shot in every direction and went all over the floor and my lap.
Cocktails were good although a little pricey.
Pizza was respectable.
I used to own a pizzeria and consider myself somewhat of an afficianado so I know of what I speak.
I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back.

First-time visitor.
Booked rooftop igloo for my birthday for a party of 5.
2 of my guest arrived before me and said they were questioned as if there was no way they were there for a rooftop igloo reservation.
When I arrived, I was happily greeted.
My guest and I were escorted to the rooftop.
Everything about the place was beautiful, especially the rooftop.
When we left, I noticed that when taking photos, the carpet needed a vacuum, and the tree we were repeatedly asked if we wanted to have our photo taken by was halfway decorated, other than that it was nice. It seemed like the seating arrangement was much too big for the igloo.
The waiter could barely step into the igloo with us, but it was fun and comfy nonetheless.
It was odd that techno pop was being played on evening rooftop igloo scene 3 days before Christmas, it just wasnt matching the vibe of the atmosphere and so at our request the music was eventually changed to holiday music.
The waiter was super nice and accommodating.
It was explained to us from the start that the staff recently went through several changes, including the chef.
They have a large selection of adult beverages but no real selection of signature cocktails.
We basically had to request drinks that are not on the menu.
3 drinks were ordered, 2 of which were dry and not ordinarily should be.
I was given samples of sweet sparkling wine that were also dry.
Overall, the drink and food orders came out all over the place.
None of us had food or drinks at the same time, and it was really spaced out.
The best food items we had out of 5 people were the artichoke dip and potato fitters and pizza.
Everything else was unimpressive or not good, including wings, burgers, sliders cheesecake(to cheesy), and pineapple upside-down cake(dry).
With adjustments to or food orders, we ended up paying $69 per person, including 20% gratuity.
Two of my guest were given the wrong cards back, and one went all the way back to her state with it because their cards were identical, so that was inconvenient.
I was either never given my card back in the billfold, it fell out or I did not notice it in billfold, but either way I did not realize It was missing until an hour after leaving the restaurant I get a fraud notification that my card was attempted to be used at a local target.
The food and drinks were disappointing, the service in hindsight was questionable but the atmosphere was everything!

Great atmosphere and service.
Food is good but not blowing your socks off.
Drinks are great and Steve-o definitely needs to smoke any drinks you get
