UpNorth

"UpNorth now serves brunch, including a poutine called the 'UpNorth Drunk Brunch Supreme,' made with hot dog, mushrooms, spicy sausage gravy, and an egg. There are also breakfast dishes like various omelettes and an heirloom tomato tarte with goat cheese and cheddar curds." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

"What It Is: A Canadian-themed cocktail bar in Bushwick Perfect For: Drinks And A Light Bite, Eating At The Bar Bushwick bars are usually either divey or aggressively themed, but Upnorth is neither of those things. It is, however, a Canadian spot, and you might get that sense from the incredibly nice bartenders. One of them gave us an excellent recommendation for a cocktail that we wouldn’t have ordered otherwise. There’s also poutine, a few Canadian beers, and some charming ram taxidermy on the walls, but when it comes down to it, Upnorth is just a great simple bar in the middle of Bushwick’s busiest area (right off the Jefferson Avenue L). We had a burger and some poutine with smoked meat and mushrooms and everything was solid. We’ll be back, mostly so we can substitute tots for the fries in the poutine. The Verdict: We have a feeling this place is going to get pretty busy, so come for Happy Hour with a date or some friends before everyone else finds out about it. We’ve added it to our Bar Hit List." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Katherine Lewin, Hillary Reinsberg, Chris Stang

"Restaurant and bar tapping into Canadian roots with a focus on poutines." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

"It’s not exactly health food, but it sure does taste good. Facetiously named after the North American Free Trade Agreement, this bar snack ($11) combines elements of the three treaty signatories: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. From Canada comes poutine, but with American tater tots substituted. The dish also resembles Mexican nachos, with its toppings of cheese sauce, sour cream, flavored ground beef, and pico de gallo. Find it at UpNorth, a new Quebec-inspired bar; wash it down with Canadian beers in bottles and on tap." - Eater Staff
