april 10-16, 2022 What's up! 43 During their award-winning happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays they offer a 20% discount on local brews, a 10% discount on non-local brews and appetizers. And, as the "Best Of" awards clearly show, "Taphouse" is just half of the Uptown name. The "Kitchen" half is equally impressive and inventive. "Our delicious food menu is much more than typical pub food," Seth said. "Our talented kitchen team creates most of our items from scratch each day. While chicken wings and burgers are probably our most popular items, our salads and sandwiches are the favorite choices for our awesome group of devoted customers. " Exploring their selection of sandwiches, it is no surprise they placed, once again, in this year's Best of Northwest Arkansas competition. "Our most popular sandwiches are the Chicken Avocado Club, Crafted Fried Chicken Sandwich, and the Brewben, which is our take on the classic Reuben," Seth said. "I'm sure we would have won "Best Brussels Sprouts" had that been an actual category. Customers love our crispy fried Brussels Sprouts!" Seth was born and raised in Little Rock. He moved to Fayetteville after graduating high school to attend the University of Arkansas, and fell in love with the area. "Little Rock is great, but there is something really special about Northwest Arkansas," Seth said "There is no other place I would rather raise a family." Seth and Mary, who maintains her job as a buyer at Walmart, opened the establishment originally as Growler USA, in February 2017. But they broke away from the franchise in April of 2020 and rebranded as Uptown Kitchen + Taphouse. Seth and Mary believe that as business owners in Northwest Arkansas they have a responsibility to engage in practices that are environmentally friendly. "We work with a local service called Food Loops to help reduce the amount of food and waste that enters the landfill," Seth said. "They convert food waste that would have been thrown away into sustainable fertilizers for local growers. Closing the food loop by recycling our food waste is a great way to reduce our waste footprint in Northwest Arkansas." Uptown Kitchen + Taphouse is a family friendly restaurant with a kids menu, and yes, they even have highchairs for the little ones. Seth is very proud of the business he and Mary have built, and the name Uptown Kitchen + Taphouse is making a name for itself in the community. "I love meeting the customers that are just as passionate about all things craft beer as we are," he said. "And I love being part of the local brew industry. Building relationships with local breweries and distributers is one of the best parts of my job. Most importantly, I am very proud of the amazing team of people that work at and represent Uptown Kitchen + Taphouse. We are a tight-knit group of motivated and passionate people."
