Definitely a vibe!!!!! You need to add this spot to your weekend plans. Make sure you reserve a table in the lounge. Great music, hookah, and the perfect atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and order the Garlic Parmesan wings and the Lychee Martini. You won't regret it. read more

I don't care if you're an New Yorker or visiting for the first time or hundredth time, this is the place to be for great food, sports ( wall to wall of endless tv's) and just an overall amazing vibe. We went during happy hour so the taco special made my belly smile big. lol $3 tacos yes please lol The shrimp was extremely flavorful and crisp without being over cook. I was told the chicken and the beef was really good and tasty. The guacamole and chips were sooooooooo tasty. Perfectly diced onions, tomatoes and the seasoning that had us ordering another order. Now there was an additional dipping sauce that was delicious. The service was on point. Everyone that came to our table was friendly and helpful. I love that the servers paid attention to the water refill. read more

The place is so nice! For a sports bar, it's surprisingly spacious, which makes it easy to relax without feeling crammed. The staff could definitely improve their attitude, though. My waitress was friendly, but several others around her seemed pretty serious. The food was good, but there's room for improvement. I was especially surprised that the chimi burger lacked flavor, especially since they're Dominican. On the bright side, the separate hookah area is a cool touch and keeps the vibe comfortable for everyone. read more

I came here to enjoy what felt like a hot day in July and get a to go drink. The happy hour menu does not apply to to go drinks by the way. I got a frozen passion fruit margarita which was delicious and literally snuck up on me. By the time I was done with the drink, I was lowkey lit! I don't remember the sweet girl that was at the front but she was nice and got our drinks ASAP. read more

U Bar & Grill near Columbia University is a fantastic spot. Different types of food options from Dominican food to Classic American style dishes and good portion sizes. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, sometimes chaotic, but the staff is friendly and attentive. Great drinks, appealing presentation, and excellent value make it a must-visit for a casual meal or night out. read more

Came back here to actually eat this time. They have great Taco Tuesday deals along with happy hour all day !!! Came here after work and we enjoyed our tacos. Although the shrimp one's my coworker said the breading was off, but she enjoyed the beef. I also enjoyed my vegan tacos, came with guac and veggies. Will be back and try their other vegan dishes. Drinks always pack a punch. Enjoy !! read more

We went for the lunch deal. Food is a pretty good portion for the deal price. The only thing is, some of the menu descriptions are wrong, like the impossible burger wasn't the impossible burger, it was an alternative veg burger. It's important to be exact on the menu especially for food accommodations. read more

It's honestly such a disappointment that I have to write this review. In August 2025 I came here to watch the the reunion for Love Island. It was amazing. 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. read more

Didn't have the best experience here because of one person. I have her name on the receipt, but I won't share it. She was working behind the bar with another gentleman on the night of 9/30. I came in to try the taco Tuesday's. Went to sit at the bar and, after waving me to a seat, the woman ignored me for the first 10 minutes I was sitting there, while she talked to people on the other side of the bar. Was able to get the gentleman's attention, and he got me a beer. After finishing it, she noticed and asked if I wanted another. I said yes, and inquired about the tacos. I then ordered a few and paid for them in cash. The total was $13.06. I gave her $20 expecting $6.94 in return. She only gave me $6. Where's the rest? Yes, it's a small amount, but you're going to TAKE my money? Then, when the tacos came out, she brought the food to someone else. There were only two of us sitting at the bar. Anyway, tacos were decent, beer still worked, but the customer service could've been a lot better. read more

I went to this place and really liked itThe frozen tamarind margarita was super refreshing and had a good amount of tequila. I also tried the picanha, which is hard to find in NYC, and it was juicy and tasty. The vibe is chill, like a sports bar, and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely come back. read more

Excellent new addition to the neighborhood! Food, service, hospitality, and drinks are top notch. Their specials allow you to have great food and drinks while saving some ducats. I particularly like that it's a true sports bar allowing you to watch multiple games at once. All this combines with a chill ambiance that makes U Bar and Grill a great place to be. read more

The place has great TVs, perfect for game nights. This is my fourth visit. The first time was three days after they opened; I met some people there. I ordered the fish tacos, and the fish was room temperature, and the taco shells were stale. My husband and son ordered the steak meal (they are steak lovers), but the steak was small for the price, though the meat was flavorful the food portions were very small. The music is too LOUD, It's 12 pm, and they play loud music like we just walk in the club. We had to shout to talk, so we ate quickly and left. The other three times, the employees are welcoming when you enter and are seated, but then they start chatting in small groups or on their phones you tend to wait for service. The service could improve if the staff remembered that customers come first, before gossiping and texting. I hope the manager or owners read this and address the issues and make improvements. read more

The cocktails were perfectly mixed -- refreshing, balanced, and beautifully served. Great vibes and top-notch quality!

We went on a Wednesday and they had $1 chicken wings but the flats were very hard Jessica our waiter at the time spoke to the manager and they gave us fresh wings. We also order the sweat potato fries that were so good ! Definitely getting them next time ! We also got the chorros that were amazing. They came with fruit and ice cream. The drinks were on point. Margaritas were amazing. The place was full of tv great for game night. They had karaoke which was also fun. The place gives you a good vibe will definitely be back for there toco Tuesday!

The place has an amazing aesthetic! The food was so amazing, ranging from traditional hispanic food to amazing fusions. Set right next to Columbia University, this is the perfect spot for people in the community to come and find something new and exciting! Music ranged from great Hispanic hits by Bad Bunny to great fun EDM tunes. Our server, Brenda, was super kind and sweet, treated us so well we started calling her Reina! The queen of service! Amazing experience with friends and family! 10/10 read more

The reservation process is horrible. I booked 8 and so did my daughter and friend. A total of 24 were definitely coming. I kept getting emails everyday to remind me to confirm even after i already confirmed online and via telephone. On the day of, 3 hours prior to the event I received an email saying my res was canceled. I called immediately more than 10 times, NO ANSWER!!! I had to jump in my vehicle and drive over there. The host said I reserved twice and one was canceled. That wasn't true, I only confirmed via phone not a 2nd res. She confirmed my seats were available, but once we arrived 45 minutes early, my daughter's res was changed to 4 instead of 8. Then my friends res was totally lost in the sauce with no table available but her name for 8 was on their paper list. It was horrible. We had to squeeze on the bench, some stood, my friend daughter sat on her lap, and my son just left and sat in the car. We were livid and would probably never go there again although the drinks and waitresses were good. It's a shame. They need to do better with their booking. But I did hear some restaurants don't give a dam. They will sell your seat for the right price. read more

I recently came to the U Bar and Grill to dine with the family and I can say they have nailed the art of being family-friendly without sacrificing quality or ambiance. The spacious dining area comfortably accommodates families, and there's an impressive kids' menu that makes even the pickiest eaters happy. Whether it's the colorful decor, the spacious booths, or the accommodating service staff, everything about the restaurant screams "family-first." There's also a fun and casual atmosphere with large TV screens playing sports, making it a perfect place for parents to unwind while the kids enjoy their meal. The restaurant even has high chairs and kids coloring papers,making it easy for parents to focus on enjoying their meal without any hassle. The price was incredibly affordable for a family of four and my server Heidi was so sweet,also shoutout to the hostess Mei who was so warm and inviting and made us feel like family before we even sat down. I definitely will be back this place is IT! read more
