Went to UBG last week to meet up with a friend and I had a wonderful time. I rarely go there and I'm glad that I did because it reminded me of what a gem this place truly is. The bartender was Kayla and she was extremely friendly and delightful. I was pretty hungry but didn't know what to get and she made the perfect recommendation and made me a delicious cocktail. Highly recommend this bar!

Great bar. Kayla is a great bartender!!!!bartender!!!! It's friendly and a great local hangout I recommend this bar.

Kayla always does a great job behind the bar and is professional and attentive with patrons. You should definitely visit the bar on her shifts for a drink.

Decent cocktails, decent happy hour, quite a vibe. Was nice to catch up with an old friend. Amazing service from the bartender.

The Universal Bar & Grill held a California Soul Party which ended up being a night to remember, especially entertainment by the Family of Funk with a show produced by Vernon Hicks and Stowe Village Entertainment. The men and women were dressed to the nines, the venue is beautifully decorated, the staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the music is next level. This isn't just a reviewer's opinion; the adulation from the crowd confirmed it was a special night. Everything about the ambiance, from sound quality to the lineup of musical artists and comedians. Patrons at the Universal Bar and Grill enjoyed a night of eating, drinking, dancing, and waving their cell phones in the air like they just didn't care. The evening started with several incredibly talented artists. Jason Maye and Isaac Guiden brought their pop and R&B flavor with spine-tingling compositions. Guitarist Maleek Deering and pianist James Morgan showcased their mastery of their respective instruments with unique approaches. Popular local rock band Anita SqPueeze, performed. They played their well-crafted songs to an enthusiastic crowd. One of the night's great surprises was the comedic routine of the host and director, Jessica Saavedra. Her timing and storytelling brought continuous laughter, serving as the perfect bridge between musical acts.
