Love this place when we’re in the area. Great for cocktails of all kinds. They have a good bourbon selection. The bartenders are knowledgeable and can make drinks beyond what the menu offers. The menu is pretty tasty, like classed up bar food and a little more.

Have wanted to come here for a bit and overall was good. Service was excellent, atmosphere was great, food was good but a bit pricey for what you got. I’ll try them again for sure but probably not a weekly trip. I’m a beer guy and was happy with the selection but would be great to see more local craft breweries on top.

Excellent stop to get a bite to eat after a performance at the Stolp Avenue gazebo. Loved the beet salad with chicken! Hubby had breakfast burrito and we shared the chocolate mousse. Would eat here again to more unique items on their menu. Thank you!

Three of us visited at 11:30am on a Sunday. On Sundays they have a brunch menu that goes until 2pm. I am not sure what the menu is after 2pm. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The atmosphere is open and artistic. The food service was a bit slow as we waited a long time for our order to come to our table. We ordered a Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, a Hamburger, and a Breakfast Burrito. We hastily left about 1:15pm as we had to get back to my daughters soccer tournament down the road. We were not anticipating that long of a lunch. Overall the food was great and everything tasted fresh. I recommend checking this place out for the food. I am not sure if the service we experienced is typical or not.

This was a great stop after a show down the street. Plan ahead and make a reservation it is worth it. The drinks and food were great. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, was busy and the service was wonderful.

We went to this place after seeing the Million Dollar Quartet. Great place to go after the theater. Good food, good drinks, great service, and a nice atmosphere. They offer a limited late night menu after 9 PM. I had the Ramon noodles.

Friendly bartender. Clean restaurant. 2 story restaurant. I ordered steak frites & Caesar salad. Both were tasty and well seasoned. My ONLY issue is the pricing. It seemed about 20% too high. There’s an outdoor seating area and you can also sit upstairs for a nicer view.

We had a great time here! Service was excellent and food was delicious. We came here before a show at the paramount. Very close in walking distance. Definitely a great option for a pre or after show meal.

I just had dinner with my mother at Craft Urban for a special mother-son night, and it was an incredible experience! The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our evening together.
We kicked things off with the sharables, each dish bursting with flavor—perfect for sharing and making great memories. The burgers were phenomenal: juicy, expertly cooked, and piled high with fresh toppings that delighted us both.
The drink selection was impressive, with creative cocktails that complemented our meal beautifully. And the dessert? A delicious finale to an already fantastic evening.
CraftUrbano is the ideal spot for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially for a special night out. Five stars all the way!
