With great regret, the owners of Uptown Social have made the difficult decision to close our doors effective January 1, 2026.

Uptown Social was purchased in February 2020, just as the Covid pandemic began. While the shutdowns forced us to cancel weddings and events for the first nine months, it also gave us an unexpected opportunity to completely renovate both the interior and exterior of the building—transforming it into the beautiful venue our community knows today.

Although we have been fortunate to have dedicated staff and a top-notch Management Team, the owners’ other business commitments have made it difficult to devote the time and support necessary for Uptown to reach its fullest potential.
We are actively working to secure a new owner or lessee who can bring fresh vision, energy, and creativity to the venue’s next chapter.

To our loyal patrons, we extend our deepest gratitude for your support. We also want to thank our vendors, fellow business owners, and the many city and county departments we have partnered with along the way. Your collaboration and encouragement have meant the world to us.

🔥 You heard that right, Burn 'Em Brewing is not only throwing down at the cooking demo this Saturday, they will also be serving cold beer, merch and 4-packs to-go!

Join us in Michigan City from 8am to noon to shop the market and watch as Chef Blake and Chef Wojtek bring the heat to our cooking demo with German-style Kartoffelpuffer (aka crispy potato pancakes!) served hot and fresh with a local twist!

You’ll learn how to make the dish, get to try free samples (while they last), and can even grab the ingredients right from our vendors to recreate it at home. It’s local food, local flavor, and fun!! Don't forget The Heron Bistro will also be doing a cooking demo Saturday, and The Red Door will be in La Porte on Sunday participating in the demo!

🗓 Saturday | 8a–12p CST
📍 800 Washington Street

We will see you there!
