Richmond - Historical Homefront City slices. The thick bread pudding had a good flavor and was filled with sweet currants; however, I found it to be a bit less moist than I prefer, in spite of the caramel drizzle. Up and Under Pub and Grill has a casual and fun atmosphere with lots of visual stimulation, plenty of drink and menu choices, and a friendly and helpful wait staff. At capacity, the noise level gets pretty loud, especially if there is a popular sports event being televised. I initially visited Up and Under during one of the Warrior’s Championship games, and there was standing room only and the fans were cheering wildly. But during non-peak times, you can enjoy a relatively quiet, leisurely meal in a trendy, upbeat neighborhood establishment. You can walk around and check out the collection of local and international rugby jerseys, photographs, and artwork that cover nearly every square inch of wall space. Don’t miss the non-rugby themed, eclectic décor, such the life-size Sphinx, carved eagles, and what appears to be a huge diving helmet right inside the front entrance. Finally, take a moment to enjoy the colorful mural of Point Richmond that brightens the back wall. Up and Under is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. On Saturday and Sunday, they open one hour earlier to serve breakfast. The bar remains open daily for at least an hour after the kitchen closes. The Pub has a private banquet room upstairs (known as the “Up and Up”) that is available for any special occasion, which can accommodate approximately 55 guests depending on the table configuration. They also offer catering services from 20 – 1,000 people and gladly customize the catering menus to meet customers’ needs. Those interested in reserving the banquet room or contracting catering services should contact the Pub for more details. Finally, if you’re really hungry and have a daring spirit, Up and Under offers you the opportunity to take the “Scrum Burger Challenge.” Six of their heartiest sandwiches and burgers are prepared and stacked one upon another, topped with a fried egg and waffle fries, and served with a side of Chili Cheese Fries—together, a $65 value. The challenge is to consume the “Scrum Burger” and Chili Cheese Fries within 45 minutes (no sharing) and the meal will be free! Success earns you a free T-Shirt and your picture on the Wall of Fame. Only two weeks before our visit, one female patron took the challenge and finished in just 22 minutes! Can you beat that? I know I certainly could not! But here’s my challenge to you—check out Up and Under Pub and Grill for some good food and drink in a unique, friendly venue in historic Point Richmond. You might just become a regular “Grubber”!
