Perched high above Russell Street's video game arcades and rather seedy atmosphere is Up Top Cocktail Bar--a small but groovy refuge from the "street life" below. Among the mixed clientele are groovers there for the DJs and others enjoying a quick drink with friends. The bar's intimate, velvety decor makes it a congenial and popular meeting place. While the music is playing, dancing is welcome, but there are plenty of tables and chairs so you can rest with a margarita or two. The atmosphere is solely for drinking and dancing so do not expect any food to be served here.
