The U bar and grill

Chanty excellent service todo fue bueno nos explico todo y quedamos muy satisfaction gracias a ella por todo We had such a wonderful experience! The service was excellent, and everything went smoothly. She took the time to explain everything to us, which we really appreciated.The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented We were so satisfied and just want to say a big thank you for all her help!

U Bar & Grill is definitely a hidden gem near Columbia University! Their happy hour specials are to die for, $3 tacos and $7 frozen margaritas that are absolutely delicious and refreshing! On Wednesdays, they make it even better with $1 wings that are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. They also have a private lounge where you can party, vibe with friends, and enjoy some hookah in a laid-back atmosphere. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. If you’re in the area and looking for a fun spot with amazing deals, great vibes, and tasty food, U Bar & Grill is the place to be!

Ramon is the absolute best! Great service, great food AND great drinks. Their guava and mango margarita is so good and I definitely recommend getting the Venezuelan Tequeños. 10/10 and will be coming back!

We can here on Taco Tuesday and truly enjoyed the food, but let’s get into the service… Definitely great! We had Shanti (hope I spelled that correctly), she was amazing. Super sweet and kind. Definitely recommend having her help you 100% and yes to an allergy concerned queen! Not only did she interact with us but even recommended certain foods and drinks. No regrets at all. We will definitely be returning (so long as she’s here)!!! 🙏🏼🫶🏼

The U Bar is amazing! The food and service are top notch and it’s always a great experience. Servers and hostess are personable and make the atmosphere that much better. The portions are great and food is fresh, you can tell it is made to order. Not to mention their unbelievable lunch specials! Will 100% recommend!

Came here on a Taco Tuesday, and the birria taco was amazing! Our server, Chanty, was immaculate super friendly and provided outstanding service. I already love Inwood Bar and Grill, but this experience was truly phenomenal. Highly recommend! Came here on a Taco Tuesday, and the birria taco was amazing! Highly recommend

The food here is really good. Heidi is a very attentive server. She recommended me to try yellow rice. I love this place!

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.

Amazing lunch deals at $10. If you show your student or university ID lunch becomes $5! Limited to one item for person at $5 though. But how can you beat this!!!!!! Good service, good food, can't complain. Cannot wait to go back 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 !!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great place to chill & relax with friends!! The music is great and staff is very friendly. Definitely recommend. Food is delicious!!!

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.

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! They also have a lounge that you can hangout in and smoke hookah didn't try it but will next time.

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

So far for us it's a Service. Food. Vibe. Ambience. Excellent choice! Can't wait to go back! #sushi #latinsushi #latinbar #westny #foodporn #foodphotography

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!

The food was really good and the service was BOMB!! Thank you Jessica for making sure the night was a good one.

A straightforward sports bar, with great urban music and a relaxed style. The service is reliable. Accommodating and charming. I spent my time at the bar and enjoyed fantastic drinks from the bartender Michelle. It was a wonderful experience! I will be returning. FyI, they offer stable wifi and outlets at the bar.
