    Spicy nachos
    Alyssa D.

    A very sad birthday experience :( A warning to those who make birthday plans here-- I am very disappointed by my experience, which is so sad to say because I don't usually judge harshly in my reviews. But being that this was my birthday, and was lied at to my face, it was kind of a bummer. So...What Happened? I chose the upper west side to have my party so my friends wouldn't have to be hit with congestion pricing. E's made it easy online to book a space in their bar, so I reserved for 20 people. I guess that was too easy. When I got there, we were seated at a table in the front of the bar with only 10 seats. When I went up to the person that sat us down, I asked where our other table was because we had a reservation for 20. The response was, "oh people usually just stand around the table if it's more than 10 people". Bro...what?? No where online did it say that. It was my birthday, and I was embarrassed and disappointed. Eventually the folks sitting behind my table moved and my group took over that space but that wasn't until 45 minutes later. We then had a server for my table who promised us a round of shots for the group. I asked 30 minutes later about the shots and he told me no. So not only did we get screwed over by the seating, but the empty promises made it worse. So..Anything Good to Say? The aesthetic is cool. I liked the jukebox they had in the front half. Food was decent too, I have to give it that. If I was introduced to this place with a small group, I would've had a fantastic time. But with a group bigger than 10, and shoving us all in the walkway comes off as stingy business practice. Overall My friends made my birthday special, but I had a hard time fully enjoying myself feeling so embarrassed by inviting all these people and them having to be crowded on standing while they eat. I feel betrayed by this place low key. I don't cause scenes and didn't the other day but the empty promises, and me having to face my friends like this was an awful feeling for me. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, nor fussy. I love to celebrate businesses and that shows in my many other reviews. I'm way bummed by this experience.

    Spreading the Yelp love for #ThankYouThursday to this bar that made my birthday this year so special and fun! As many New Yorkers know, it is so hard to find a spot to make a large group reservation without a fee or food/drink minimum. E's is the place! We had a reservation for 10. You put a credit card down to hold the reservation and there is a cancellation policy. However, there is no minimum or fee to reserve a large table! This spot is definitely more of a dive bar, but it is so fun! The music was pumping and the drinks were flowing! They even had a sign on our table that said "Cara's Birthday!" So cute! They also have a plethora of board games you can get out and play at your table. Thanks for making my birthday so fun and stress free this year!

    Damn, that chopped cheese burger is so good! Haha The place is a bit too crowded + divey for me. I'd go back for that burger though. That is all, that is the review.

    Nachos
    Elizabeth L.

    I love this bar! I go almost every Tuesday for trivia. The staff is so amazing. The happy hour deals are pretty good prices, the food is also very good for bar food. We love the nachos. It can get crowded for trivia so I recommend booking a table in advance. It's such a great vibe inside with many booths and cool stickers on the walls. I love coming here

    Drinks were on point, service was decent. Loved the vibe. Spacious with outdoor seating. Great for small or large groups. Will go again. Stumbled up on this place just strolling. Nice surprise.

    First Impressions: This spot became one of my favorite local spots to hang out ever since the pandemic and outdoor seating started. I love the vibes and the happy hour crowd. I always end up meeting dope ass people here. The Noms: The happy hour food is filling and cheap. I wish they'd expand the menu a bit more since I like coming here so often, it would be nice to have more options. Last time I came here with a girlfriend, one of the guys behind the bar offered us wings (which I would never turn down free food, lol) he said he was trying out two flavors to trial on the menu. It was good, love the spicy sweet flavor best.. the other one was just regular buffalo wing sauce. If you're reading this... PLEASE EXPAND THE HAPPY HOUR DRINKS MENU! Thank you! I love coming here for trivia nights and for karaoke. I'm too chicken shit to actually go up and sing, but I love singing along as a backup singer lol. This has become my default spot to take out of town friends who visit (along with Prohibition) so please please keep improving! In Conclusion: 10/10 would recommend coming here and have brought many friends here in the last two years since I discovered this spot was dope AF!

    I was in the area to see batman. I stopped in here quick and place was lively . I sat at the bar And got a quick drink. The beer and the drink was really good. The prices here are also very reasonable. I like the vibes of the bar and the Bartender were friendly And attentive. I did not try any food so I would definitely have to come back to visit. I noticed place has games and overall a pretty chill spot for hanging with friends.

    Tableside s'mores
    Caitlin B.

    The table side s'mores are brilliant. It's such a cool concept. The proportions are off though. You get a dozen or so marshmallows but only one chocolate bar. So it's more like tableside roasting marshmallows than s'mores. Drinks were ok. Fries and onion rings were really good. We sat in the table service section in the back but waited forever before a waiter came to take our order and again when we needed the check.

    E's Burger
    Ann N.

    Great happy hour! I got a well drink, burger, and fries for ~$22! It was a great experience and so cheap especially in NYC. The burger was pretty juicy and fries were crispy. The service was quick, which is always nice during happy hour. It was nice outside.

We tried the 314 and the Sweet Cheeks pizzas, and we really wish we could have tried more. The ingredients on both were so fresh and flavorful. I especially loved the flavor of the hot honey and the sliced pork on the Sweet Cheeks. Both pizzas were not overly greasy nor cheesy. The toppings are really the main star of the show. We had to try their hand-made pasta too, and we could really tell from the texture of the pasta how fresh it was. We got the rigatoni, and just like the pizzas, the ingredients do all the heavy lifting carrying all the flavors.

Our server checked in on us often, and the food came out about 10-15 min after. The food was good! Considering the $16 lunch deals, the meals were generous for the price. I got the Porcina pizza, and it was good, but really salty. I had to ask for a side of arugula to kill the prosciutto salt. It should have had a creamy mushroom base but I did not taste that at all. Potentially I ordered the wrong item for my liking, but the pizza itself had a nice crust and generous portion. I will come back to try a different pizza!

The bartenders often have a weirdly grouchy "bro" energy that makes you feel like you're bothering them just by ordering a drink. Last fall, one guy was even playing music that sounded like a Christian radio station. The lyrics literally had the word "Lord" in them. It felt less like a neighborhood bar on the UWS and more like I'd wandered into a roadside bar somewhere in the Bible Belt. Another bartender always seems completely checked out. It's hard to flag him down, so we end up sitting there with empty drinks until he eventually notices. On our most recent visit it was a beautiful day outside, but we decided to sit inside since we were planning to order a bunch of food and settle in for a while. The basement was musty and dark and all the windows were shut. We politely asked if they could open a window or turn on the AC for a bit just to air it out. The response was a flat "No." That was it. When we asked why, he said if he did that someone else might complain, and then he just walked away. He kind of just waived us away, it was the weirdest interaction. That was the last time we overlooked the attitude. We normally like to hang out and spend $120-$150 here, but at that price we don't want to feel like we're an imposition.

The food was good and drinks were too. The space and workers were also very accommodating. Clean bathrooms and everything. My place of employment wanted to book somewhere to have our holiday gathering after work for December 2025. I visited U Bar in person in late October to inquire about such an event for approximately 70 people. The host informed me to get in touch with the owner due to such a large amount of people and just wanted to ensure that it could be accommodated as needed. I had no problem with that and she gave me the business card, I bought some grilled chicken pasta Alfredo and headed home. As soon as I got home I spoke to the owner Eddy both via text and call. We spoke about what accommodations I would need, he said no problem. I reiterated to him that it was something that would be very informal and he told me that since it was on Friday, he would honor the "college Friday" deal that they have for college students for myself and colleagues as well. As you can imagine I was all for it, he booked it for December 19th at 4pm. He told me that he could open earlier for us, but just for the downstairs section which was perfectly fine. No hassle. After the call, I got an automated text stating that my reservation for "15" people had been booked and confirmed. I called him back immediately and told him that the reservation was for 70 problem as discussed, not 15. He told me not to worry that it'll be fixed in the system eventually but that I didn't have to worry about the glitch. I said okay fine. Keep in mind, this was late October this all transpired. Fast forward to December 11th 2025, I got an automated text stating that my reservation had been updated to 70 people. Not sure why it took a month and a half to "update" the number of people but I didn't care as long as the agreement we had had been met the day of. Then the VERY NEXT DAY on 12/12, I got an automated text stating that my reservation for 12/19 had been canceled altogether. Feeling understandably confused and annoying, I called U Bar at least 6 times to speak to someone to clear up what the confusion about the reservation is because I'm only a week out from the date of the event at this point. NO ONE picked up the phone but they were definitely open at the time. Remembering that I had Eddy's number from speaking to him prior, I called him to no answer but then texted him to explain my grievance. He then proceeded to respond back and say that the restaurant, managers as well as HIMSELF had been calling me prior to because I had two reservations booked. Now, keep in mind, I didn't actually make the reservation on my end, HE, the OWNER, made the reservation based on our conversation. I explained how disappointed I was that the reservation would be cancelled without notice. He informed me that he would speak to the manager about the situation. He hasn't gotten back to me. I then spoke to my best friend who had the idea of calling the restaurant and sneaking a merged call where I could speak to them. He did in fact get in contact with someone at U Bar (I heard it myself) but then the line disconnected. He called back immediately and no one picked up. No one there ever called me about having two reservations. I tend not to even believe that I had two reservations because ... 1. I never booked any reservation there on MY end. 2. Why didn't I receive an automated message about the "other" reservation that was allegedly booked as I had gotten about the one for the event? 3. The owner alleged that I had a reservation booked for both 12/12 (the day my original reservation was cancelled) AND 12/19 the actual day of the event. But even if I did have two reservations, what difference would that make? Am I not allowed to reserve a spot on multiple days? What would one reservation have to do with the other? None of it makes any sense. They will never see a DIME from me and what's worse is that I was ACTUALLY looking forward to my colleagues and I really visiting this place and getting the same care that I initially felt back in August. Now, I pray for the day this place becomes a parking lot. Unbelievably unprofessional.
