Welcome to Upper East

Welcome to Upper East on Grand, Historic Downtown Escondido’s newest neighborhood restaurant and bar. Locally owned and located in the “Upper East” area of San Diego County, our ambiance offers a nostalgic nod to the timeless charm of the Escondido culture.

We pride ourselves on selling quality food and beverages. Our menu is compiled of our spin on classic American dishes as well as some favorites from our sister restaurant, Knotty Barrel Rancho Peñasquitos. Enjoy our locally sourced menu with a full bar offering seasonal cocktails and some classics with a twist, as well as a wide array of domestic, imported and local craft beers on our 20 taps.

Upper East brings a new family favorite to the neighborhood while also accommodating those who are looking for a crafty hub for happy hour, a great spot to catch the game, or a place to dine with that special someone for a night on the town.

From savor to sip to service, Upper East welcomes you to an experience that defines what the community of Escondido is all about. See you soon!
