I have never been treated with such disrespect as I have been at plug uglies. After spending over 150$ on drinks and food, the manager came over to ask me when we would be done with our table as there was a reservation occurring in the next 30 min. Our table politely said we would be gone in 20 minutes. He came back in 10 minutes extremely rude and angry that we were not gone yet. I have never felt so disrespected in a restaurant ever. There was no sign that the table was reserved and it was extremely rude. I will not be returning.

Plug Uglies was formerly Bar Coastal which I never stepped foot Into. I came here for some belated birthday drinks. When I got there it was not crowded at all. I ordered a Moscow Mule and I must say it was tasty. I ordered a sierra Nevada Hazy IPA next. The bartender was very nice. The space is great has plenty of seating. In the other part of the bar there is a shuffle board game. This is a great bar to come gather with friends for some food and drinks for sports game or just a weekend of fun. They have a few tvs here too. They supposedly have great wings here too with many different flavors. I did not get a chance to try them out though. Maybe next time.

Live this place. Great bartenders! Wings are wonderful! Fun place to hang out a catch a game.

Cool interior. Wish they would put the sound on for big games instead of the dodgy music mix (imo). First time I had their burger it was amazing! Second time, the bun was so hot it was obviously heated in the microwave. Bartenders are cool. Want to love this place. Just needs some tweaking to establish their identity. If you are a sports bar, be a sports bar.

One of the more animated Spots bars in the UES, with plenty of available TVs and beers by the pitcher to enjoy a series of games. $8 a drink. 4.25/5 stars as a day bar.

Fantastic wings! Bar service only though. Beware for newcomers, that might be oblivious to the rules, and will get the side eye for not knowing that the flag they give you is only for food.

Good place to watch the game. Make sure to get Kerry Sauce on your wings.

A terrific sports bar on the UES. It's very clean and has 5 or 6 flat screen TVs in the mane room Be prepared for a younger crowd but very civilized in general . The food looks good too All around good energy on Sunday afternoon

Self-service/order at the bar. If you order food, they give you a number stand and they will bring it out to you when ready. Solid draft, bottle, and can offerings (beer, ciders, radlers). Fortunately, A full bar so any standard or classic cocktails can be made. Wings come in 8 piece, 15 piece, and higher - one flavor per set/order. We got 8 piece korean spice (soy-garlic) and 8 piece honey mustard. Each order came with carrots and celery, blue cheese dipping sauce and ranch (if you have a preference, let them know when you put in your order). Came out relatively quickly and saucy. Decor gave off southern aesthetics but the quantity of tv's and the general crowd was giving dive and sports bar. Not a bad idea to drop by for a game.

Tried to go here today between 1-1:30pm to try it out for the first time but they were closed even though Yelp said they were open. Please update your hours on Yelp.

Love Plug Uglies! This is the only Bay Area bar I know of in NYC so you can always come here to watch a Warriors, Giants, or Niners game. They have a pretty spacious bar for most nights but it gets crowded when there's a good game on so keep that in mind if you don't like a crowded bar.
