What the Locals Are Saying
"Enjoyed food and drinks with a couple friends and listened to the band play. Service was great, always a smile on their faces, cracked some jokes and laughed with us. The food was so good. The waffle fries were bomb! Fully stocked bar counter so you can order almost any drink. Such a fun night!"

"This is my go-to spot when bicycling the Pacific Electric Trail from Rialto! Always great service and hearty pub food. Cold beer taps, friendly bartenders, and the outdoor vibe in historic downtown Upland makes it a true staple."
