- The Corcoran GroupApril 30, 2012An 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.
- Eric FernandezSeptember 17, 2012Had 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.
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.
HolidayMay 26, 2018Don’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.- doug jaegerDecember 14, 2010The 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.
Jessica Herbst-ThornNovember 8, 2015Service 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!
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.
They have happy hour deals every day! Mondays are the best for half-off sushi!
Neelu RaviMarch 26, 2018I 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.
Stella DancerellaApril 4, 2012Mai 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.
Ben HudsonDecember 11, 2023Don’t be shy with the Delirium Tremens when you drop by after Christmas concert.
It's got that authentic "old New York" vibe. Not too many places like this left in the city.
Jessica BishopAugust 29, 2016Decent little dive bar with good food / happy hour and nightly specials. 👍🏻
Kathryne HemmingsJune 22, 2013This 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.
Bill O'LearyFebruary 2, 2017Half 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
Ashley RoseOctober 19, 2015Don't be alarmed when they pour water into your glass from a grey goose bottle. It really is water.
Norman EllisMarch 22, 2011They 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.
Joe BramhallAugust 15, 2015Good place for a burger and drinks. Decent prices. Brunch not so much. Service can be spotty.
T OooooooooooooooooJune 21, 2013Bring 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!
Susie SitzerJanuary 2, 2010Check out Hi Life. Burgers (even the veggie version) are great (& filling) there. The hot chocolate's good, too. :-)
Andrew D.June 5, 2019Kitchen 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.

"One of the better beer selections in UWS. Free popcorn is awesome. This place can get a weird night club vibe in the evenings - I prefer to visit during the day on a weekend!"
