Uptown Park

The shopping center is upscale and in a great area that’s accessible by highway, but you encounter nothing but problems from the moment you drive in. There are numerous valet zones taking up all of the would-​be-​open parking areas during most hours of the day, and you literally have to fend them off to get parking spaces that aren’t coned off because they try to park cars in those spots before parking in the coned areas.
There are a lot of quality establishments around, including Etoile (a great French restaurant), Champp’s (more American fare), the Tasting Room (a wine bar), a collegiate apparel store, and Belvedere (a nightclub). Most of it is pretty pricey, but this is a definite hotspot in the Uptown area if you want to grab a bite to eat or go shopping without running into the Galleria.

Fun and especially during games! Lots a beers on tap and the menu is full of different delicious choices! Bug portions! Always excellent service! During big games it gets packed so get there early if you want a seat! Cool décor and there’s also outdoor seating. Oops I thought this was champps site that in this shopping center. Lol but consider I bite or cocktail before or after shopping. :)

So apparently out of the 200 plus parking spots at this mall, zero are not for valet use. A neat concept to attract only a certain type of customer

Uptown park reminds me of those happy days I spent in Denver, Colorado. I don’t know why but it reminds me of that place. I love the atmosphere, the stores and especially sitting outside Potbelly’s restaurant and just taking in the sun and people watching. It’s very relaxing. It is definitely one of my favorite spots in Houston.

Uptown Park
The Times I have been here I had a great time. It is a great place to walk around go to different stores and enjoy your day with the ones you care about. I usually go to the My Fit Foods, starbucks, and Champps. The parking is not that bad and the people around here are very friendly. I used to live around here and I would always go to the Starbucks and sit outside and enjoy the day.
There is not that much to say about this Place just that it is a great place and everything is presented well with great restaurants, and stores. I would come here whenever I have the chance.

Uptown park is pretty much a shopping center for the wealthy. It mainly has food options, as well as some retail and others: surgery clinic, club, tobacco shop etc.
During Christmas time they light up the area which is nice.
Only problem is that parking is a b*** on busy nights. Uptown has their own valet deal going on in the parking lot so Champps, Belvedere, Tasting Room’s parking is all dominated by valet. It’s technically «free» but I can understand why people get annoyed.

Always a fun place to walk around to shop and eat. Parking can be atrocious at peak times of course.
Too bad they booted the car shows that was here on Saturday mornings, boooo!

Oh Uptown Park, you fancy, huh?
Love you for housing Crave!
Hate you for housing the worst Café Express known to man!
Love you for Champps!
Hate you for how bad the parking sitch is.
Hate you for the backlog of traffic on the 610 feeder to get in and out.
Hate you for the obnoxiously pretentious mindset among most of your patrons — your LV purse is not an entitlement sash to be a complete jerk to the girls behind the counter at Crave.

One great thing about Houston is that it gives you options. There are a multitude of places where you can go spend your money. Now, Uptown park is a great spot where you can conveniently spend your hard earned dollars all in one place! You can find very good sushi, great sports bars, cigar bars, great restaurants, great wine bars and great desserts! Cheap, not really. But definitely worth the trip. Another great thing about Uptown park is: Location! Location! LOCATION!
I used to live around the area and I must say is a great spot to go on a Friday or Saturday night, to have a drink or just relax. Plenty of parking everywhere. A lot of the businesses also offer complimentary valet (such as McCormick and Schmick’s). Love the place and my friend recently told me about Coffee and Cars, sounds like an awesome way to spend a Saturday morning… checking out cars I can’t really afford… LOL!

I remember when they started to build this shopping area. It’s in a relatively difficult to access area, find the one entrance from Post Oak or come in on the feeder. The parking is really rough at certain times of the day, as many many spots are stolen by the valet drivers. I want to run over their little orange cones. The little buildings are all different colors, textures, shape, and size.
There is a mix of restaurants, expensive shopping, spas, and specialty shops. Some of the reasonable places are Café Express, Crave cupcakes, Berripop, and the University co-​op store. I don’t walk around the area, I just destination shop and get the heck out of there. I don’t see many people strolling around. There is a heavy influx of the lunch crowd who either fight for parking spots or just do the valet thing.
Overall, pick an off time to shop around here. Try and park away from the most dense areas. Avoid lunchtime.

Another one of those generalized areas reviews. I never like doing these because it’s so hard to put everything in together; there are so many strengths but so many weaknesses all at the same time.
The parking and traffic around this area is terrible. Most of the shops are way over priced and let’s not get started on parking.
However, there are some super bright spots. Crave Cupcakes and the UT Coop.
If you want to see a decent free car show just walk through this parking lot during peak hours.

Uptown park has shimmering, glitzy high-​end retail and restaurant space. Laid out on a single level with exterior entrances, this is several acres of land with a parking lot into which different color brick buildings have been wedged. Parking at lunch is impossible — with the majority of entrances have been blocked by double parkers and the remaining spaces blocked by valet parking cones. Once you find a parking space, you may be so irritated that you aren’t hungry any more.
Dinner time is a bit more civil, except game days at Champp’s Americana…
The shops are filled with all kinds of goods for those who like that sort of thing.
Bravo to InterFin Corporation for recreating the European Shopping Experience of Westbury Square of years ago; and for creating the home of a future abandonnned shopping center when something/​anything new and better comes along. The Galleria, it ain’t; but better than most strip malls.
Don’t expect bargains.
