About Tilt on Trade

Brick, reclaimed wood, string lights and a very long bar make up a sprawling room that turns into a dance floor after dark. Games are the draw early on, with beer pong, darts, giant Jenga and arcade machines, sports on the screens and The Yard, a patio of barrel tables and turquoise stools, out back. It opens at 4 PM on weekdays and noon on Sunday, closing at 2 AM daily, and the crowd skews just past college, one reviewer calling it a spot for the kids. Bartenders are singled out by name for fast, friendly service, even on packed nights with a single server on the floor. Prices are modest by Uptown standards, though an $11 hard seltzer drew a raised eyebrow. A Trade Street fixture since 2007 by its own mural, it holds 4.3 on Google from 708 reviews. Dress is casual, and the door insists on a physical ID.
