Had the greatest time here last night. The drinks, music , staff , food (hot wings !,) and place was amazing! I tried Delirium Tremens beer . It's on my list as the best tasting beer I've had to date.
An Upper West Side institution – we love the fun décor , the heavy handed bartenders and the happy hour specials - $1 off drinks, ½ priced sushi rolls and delicious burger/salad combo.
Great HH. Bartenders are on their game, especially Molly (quick, friendly and pretty). Mondays have $11 pitchers , $5 ribs and burgers . Weekend brunch with entree at bar + $10 gets u open bar for hour.
Don’t be afraid to order sushi with a chicken pot pie - yes a little but of everything and all delicious. Salads too. Great staff !
Bartenders Excell, menu has something for everyone, clientele are more diverse and wonderful people than you will ever meet in a regular cocktail bar and restaurant . Cheers on steroids.
The high life burger is the best burger in the world. It combines a bacony patty, a grilled bun , cheese , spicy sauce used on spicy tuna roll , with the freshness of Ginger . Wow. Thank you.
Sushi sushi sushi ! Monday & Tuesday 50% off. Always delicious. Always fun music . No guarantee that your team's going to win, but might as well watch that in good neighborly company.
Service excellent, food very good...kitchen willing to modify something on a Saturday night, and they offered to do it! Happy Hour specials were great too!
They have happy hour deals every day! Mondays are the best for half-off sushi !
Great for a casual brunch . Your first brunch cocktail is only $2.50!
I wasn’t sure if this restaurant specializes in Mexican, American or Japanese food !? They have sushi , burgers and also Fajitas on the menu which is really confusing. I didn’t enjoy this place.
Mai tais are great here. Fun, mixed atmosphere. Everything from young couples to single women in their 90s. The food is whatevs but good enough to eat
Good neighborhood joint with variety - sushi , burgers , etc. Solid specials each day.
It's got that authentic "old New York" vibe. Not too many places like this left in the city .
Decent little dive bar with good food / happy hour and nightly specials. ????????
I like this spot it's cool to come for a quick bite on Fridays
This place was great! The food was good, the service was quick and friendly , and the atmosphere was nice.
Great specials with a laid-back UWS vibe. I personally like the sushi .
Went for brunch . No line , great food, good service . Great neighborhood spot .
Half price sushi on Monday and Tuesday is the one and only reason to come here. And no, no one has gotten sick from the sushi .
Just checked in here - one of my favorite neighborhood places . Half price on sushi rolls before 7 is a great deal
The wings and sliders are great here.
Don't be alarmed when they pour water into your glass from a grey goose bottle. It really is water.
Great brunch place to enjoy UWS brunch drinks.
They serve a decent brunch . The 1st drink is 2.95. Can't beat that. Service is fast and friendly . Not for the foodies but it's a chill spot .
Good place for a burger and drinks. Decent prices. Brunch not so much. Service can be spotty.
Happy hour with Good drafts from 4-7 P.m
The bartenders rock.
chimichurri steak
turkey chili
Bring headphones the music is pretty bad but the food is really good.
They have great specials and half price sushi every day from 430 until 7... Always a good deal !
Try the sushi burger , stuffed with bacon , topped with pickled ginger and super spicy mayo !
Check out Hi Life. Burgers (even the veggie version) are great (& filling) there. The hot chocolate 's good, too. :-)
Cinnamon toast and strawberry butter
Delicious burgers !
Been here many times. The sushi ? Surprisingly good.
Kitchen closes earlier than advertised. Don’t go late and hungry unless you want to be disappointed.
Something for everyone --unless you're really being one picky son of a bitch.
Try the surf and turf . Sushi and burger wow! :-)
Try the brunch . Amazing!
half priced sushi until 7 = amazing
Great brunch ; bar is padded to protect the knees of long-legged patrons!
Drinks!!!!
Delicious grilled chicken ceaser salad .
Great Saturday drinks!
Get an old fashioned or a manhattan
Had so much fun tonight! The DJ is great!
Little bit of coke with the rum and cokes .
Nice music !
Omelets are FILLED with goodness - from veggies to cheese to meats! Brunch here is a MUST! - Courtney Beth
Weekday brunch! Delicious Mac and cheese and chicken and (French)toast! Kid friendly. - Selene Liszka
Every bit as good as Apiary, Chef Bryan's last place. Solid menu all the way through, highlights include the Duck, Octopus, and Risotto. - Adam May
Tons on tap, surprisingly good bar food. Anything fried (wings, rings) or burgers are great. Also a killer brunch. - Ryan
Great experience. Try and find Wayne the tour guide. Incredible knowledge. - Jack Cheetham
