Plug Uglies - Review - Upper East Side - New York - The Infatuation

It's hard to pick just one thing we like the most about Plug Uglies, a sports bar on the Upper East Side. We love that when we texted our friends to see if they wanted to meet up, we got to type out the words “Plug Uglies” and weren’t referring to a shady floormate from college. And we also love that they have some of the city’s best buffalo wings. They come out hot, crispy, and in a more-acidic-than-normal buffalo sauce with the classic vegetables and dips. This bar attracts a slightly rowdier crowd, and they don’t always play the volume for the big game, making it better for groups of mixed sports interest. They’ve got shuffleboard tables, and a location in Gramercy (that one is bring-your-own-food, just FYI). photo credit: Will Hartman - Will Hartman
