I’d call it a standard sports bar. The food was pretty solid(we tried the cheese steak, baja quesedilla, waffle fries, and buffalo chicken tenders). The drink prices are what you’d expect from most of the upper east side. Service was definitely quite friendly.

Great wings Nice place to watch a sporting event. Plenty of tvs and they usually have the sound on for major games

Best chicken wings. They have Sam Adam. Service is very good. They don’t hover around you but quick to notice if you are wanting for more. Great neighborhood chilling place.

Definitely one of my favorite wing places on the upper east side. The best thing to get is the Carra-way(not sure how to spell it) sauce, which is honey mustard with buffalo sauce house mix(not on the menu). It is a place whenever I crave wings it is the first one on my list. Their waffle fries are awesome too. Darts are always a fun time as long as it is not too crowded.

Been here a few times to grab a drink and watch the game. They have a decent happy hour and the food comes out quick enough. Really nice guys and girls behind the bar, and the few regulars give the bar a unique feel. If you’re in the area and want to head out, grab a drink, some Mac and cheese wedges which were great and watch the game you can’t go wrong here.

Best wings i’v ever had almost as good as buffalo style. They have both boneless and with bones mild, medium, hot and suicidal. I prefer either the mild or medium because I’m not a huge spice freak but I still love it, so if you live in new York and like chicken wings, bar coastal’s the place to go.

Came back to watch a couple of the NCAA March Madness games. We were able to snag a table in the covered porch area right away — phew, just in time for tip off on a Saturday night. Staff is ever friendly and always willing to help out. Brought a friend who isnt a big wing fan, and she was very impressed with everything! Great steadfast sports bar in the UES.

Good beer, okay service… Bad wings unless you like them hard and over cooked then slandered with sauce to try and save them…

This place used to be our favorite spot in the city for«wings and beer». My husband and I were loyal customers throughout the past 5 years until today. They would not allow us to bring our daughter into the restaurant in the middle of the day, while 90% of the tables were open and we were there to meet a full table full of friends and family. We are VERY disappointed in the lack of accommodation and the fact that they were not even apologetic to the fact that I have already had my daughter in there twice without anyone batting an eye. Once loyal customers who have brought them TONS of business over the past 5 years turned away because we have a child… We are now Done with them and so are our friends and family. They do get two stars because the wings are that good…

I was disappointed with their wings. I thought this was the go to spot for wings upper east but hadn’t ordered from here in a year or so — until last night. The barbecue wings did not have much meat/chicken to them as I thought I remembered. And were underwhelming. My brother agreed and didn’t eat many. Having most of the 10 leftover I tried to give some of the chicken to my cat — he eats anything– and he wouldn’t even eat it. Ha I had my first fish taco there a few years ago and thought it was so great then, and the one we ordered last night while pretty good and with a little spice/kick was not great like I remembered. Fresh carrots and celery w the wings were fresh and good. I need to find a go to spot for the occasional times we want wings as bar coastal’ were not meaty and disappointed.

Great boneless wings — they are tendah. Tvs could use some updating. Space is limited come NFL Sunday.

I love Bar Coastal. I’ve been coming here for years and this place is awesome. It’s a good sized sports bar with plenty of TVs tuned to different games. Most of the seating is in stools either at the bar or tables. There’s a dozen or so beers on tap, always wide range from pilsner to IPA to stout. I love the boneless chicken wings and the waffle fries! My go to food choices! YUM! get extra hot sauce to spice it up! One of my favorite places in the 70s on the UES, hands down.

A solid choice for beers, wings, and sports. Sometimes, you just want a casual hangout where you can unwind after a busy day of work — whether it is to catch up with friends or watch the night’s football/basketball/baseball/etc. game. I have been coming here for a while now since living in the neighborhood, and it succeeds in filling that need. There is one bar and two seating areas with plenty of tables, televisions, and surfboards(yes, it is a California-based theme). Bartenders and waiters have always been friendly and attentive. There have been few times when my group’s pitchers or buckets of beers have been empty before a server inquires about the next round. I am going to go out on a limb and say this is one of the better bar menus in the UES. This place serves legit appetizers, and their chicken is awesome. Start with the wafer fries and/or friend mac & cheese wedges, followed by as much chicken that you can fit into your stomach. I prefer the boned wings, but the chicken littles(boneless) are also good if you are looking to keep your hands clean. The chicken sandwich is also great. I am a fan of the buffalo sauces(select suicidal if you want to lose feeling in your mouth), but there is also honey mustard, teriyaki, jerk BBQ, chipotle BBQ, garlic parmesan, and Thai chili if you desire something milder. Overall, I really enjoy it here as a casual watering hole. Check it out if you are in the area!

Ever been to Sharkey’s in Southern California? Well you don’t have to because there is one on the upper east side. Even though there wasn’t many people there, it has a very«bro» vibe with the blue and purple dark atmosphere. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had fish bowls. It was actually pretty dead for a Friday night. Hopefully y’all don’t get approached by the gentlemen who live above this bar. They like to interrupt conversations and talk highly of themselves to the point of unbearable exhaustion. I don’t think I would com enact here, unless they have a very great happy hour, but I don’t even wanna further explore my options here.

My husband and I popped in here for lunch and beers on a Sunday afternoon. We had been told that they serve the best wings on the UES. I had the shrimp quesadilla which was quite good and my husband devoured a plate of wings. We also shared waffle fries and each had a few beers. The service was excellent; friendly and efficient. The bar was crowded, lots of people watching games and as we left it was becoming even more packed. Great spot for a good selection of beers, good service and solid food. Large windows allow for optimal people watching.

Wings. Wings. Wings. That’s all we had and they were great and we will definitively be back for more. Wide selection of flavors for wings that are large and taste great. We took down at least 50 and were happy with all the different flavors we ordered.

BAR-Coastal is a California themed bar located in the UES. We did not stay long, came here to split a few pitchers with friends. But, it seems like a chill place to have a few beers, eat wings and watch football! Cons: the bathroom is TINY and the service was alright

*This review is only about the drinks and service.* I came here with a friend to watch American Pharaoh get triple crowned, and I’m so glad I did! What a fun place with a great atmosphere. Wooden tables and nautical-themed décor throughout(shocker, huh? ;) gives this place a nice by-the-beach vibe. There are large TVs above the bar and in the dining room, and they always have sporting events on. During the race, the place was packed and the bar was buzzing with excitement! Very fun! Their drinks are decent and service is attentive, but our waitress was a little overbearing. Every 5 minutes, she’d come over, interrupt my conversation with my friend, and ask us if we were doing okay. It felt like she was trying to end her shift and we were holding her up. Too much. Overall, this place is a great place to go if you’re looking to catch a game or just grab a drink and be among a fun crowd. Based on past reviews, the food here also seems decent so I’ll have to be back for some wings and nachos!

Staff is AWESOME(Jose is super friendly and cool) and food is AMAZING. My go-to bar for sports, wings, hang out. Mannys on 2nd used to be my favorite wing place, not anymore thanks to BarCoastal. Literally these wings are to DIEFOR.

Went here to watch a basketball game. It was a quiet time because it was Memorial Day weekend. I know that in general this place gets overpacked but I really enjoyed it at its quieter moments when I visited. The ambience is awesome. So many TVs and they play different games at the same time. The big TV shows the most popular game. Their food was great as well. We had the popcorn shrimp, the lil chicken, the wafle fries, and Mac and cheese wedges. All were great. The lil chicken was mild but quite hot even the mild. But overall amazing bar food! Service was pleasant as well. There was not a long wait and our waitress was attentive without being overbearing! I’m so glad I checked this spot out. I will absolutely be visiting again when I’m in the mood to watch games! Prices were also very decent for upper east side! I highly recommend this spot!
