Locals love it! Wings were perfectly cooked! Sauce perfectly balanced.

Got some wings and onion fries to go. I got the Hot and BBQ wings which were delicious but I was a little surprised they used such a strong vinegar based hot sauce. Wings were enormous and juicy! A small onion fry is definitely worth the value and absolutely delicious as well. I would definitely order for a group again.

Came in with couple of colleagues. Love the wings and waffle fries. Most of the wing flavors are amazing. Margaritas not so bad prefer them frozen. We come here often to take away the stress in the times I came here service has been amazing.

Food was great. Service was as expected during this time of evening (7pm). Ordered 20 med wings and had a couple guinness on draft. Atmosphere was low key casual. They checked your temp and asked for contact info for contact tracking at the door. Limited occupancy so dont be surprised if you have to wait for a table when they reach max occupancy during this pandemic.

Having read that they have the best wings in the UES, we decided to give it a try during Happy Hour on a Friday. I LOVE wings but these wings were so dry and basically meatless. It was mostly overcooked skin and dry meat. The service was extremely slow. One waitress was amazing and had to cater to us more than our own waitress did. Overall would not recommend at all. Only gave two stars because the Bud was $4.

Best wings on the upper east side, maybe in all of NYC... their specialty sauce is called Kerrys way, its medium Buffalo sauce mixed with Honey Mustard... sounds odd I know but is extremely delicious.

Wings are AMAZING!!!... They have two sections, one if you want to go wild and have some drinks/eat while you watch sports, another section more intimate. It gets packed but waitresses are attentive and kitchen moves quick.

Terrific wings. The indoor eating area is small. You are not going here for ambience. However, once the wings arrive to the table you stop noticing anything but the plastic basket of fried goodness.

We came here for the wings and they were pretty good. Some of ours came out still ice cold but this place definitely has the potential to be fantastic. We will be back to try again. Lots of TVs to watch sports and a great environment nonetheless.

Review №11

As good as advertised. Wings were as good as I’ve ever had if not better.Let’s talk More about the wings. KERRY’S WAY is the way to go. I think it’s “off menu” but you gotta do it. Waitress described it as “hot and tangy” and that was spot on. There was the perfect amount of heat while still maintaining a rich flavor. Seriously, some of the best wings I’ve ever had. We also got mild wings which were good, just not memorable when compared to the Kerry’s way. Great crisp on all the wings.They no longer come with celery on the side (crazy in my opinion) so we had to order them on the side.Fries: LOVED the sweet potato waffle fries (aka wafer). The regular wafer fries were decent.Mozz sticks were outstanding. Some of the best I’ve had.Fried Mac and cheese bites were awesome too.Can’t wait to get back to Bar Coastal soon. Great place to watch a game, awesome food, dynamite wings.

$27.00 for 20 wings. $1.35 A WING. Celery is $2.50 more (not included) and carrots arent available at this time. Unfortunately, Im done with Bar Coastal. The waitress also never cracked a smile. Gonna miss this place when it closes.

Review №14

I dont like giving negative reviews, but I want to be honest with myself - The wings were not good, worse than Buffalo Wild wings and worse than any Korean Wing place - the wings were simulaneously dry and soaked in squace, thats not good. Also I called on the phone and the service was bad/rude over the phone. Boo

Great drinks and food. Great atmosphere. Very strange though, while we were there, some idiot had a roast for himself. Who holds a roast in a bar and has strangers roast him. Anyway. Hopefully when you go, there isnt a roast going on.

Review №19

Sighhh I’m really torn. I used to go here often for their atomic wings but this recent visit it was a let down. The wings were dry, didn’t come with any carrots and celery (they used to give alot!), and the bud light draft was skunky. Perhaps a off day? I hope so, their wings used to be the atomic bomb!

A true American Bar. Tv’s everywhere for your Yankee and Mets amusement; happy hour for the Big chain beer lover with a pretty decent selection of IPA beer.If you’re looking for a place to watch a baseball/football game over burgers and beer w your friends, this place definitely has the lively atmosphere for it.

Some of the best wings in all of NYC. Really fun spot for Sunday, funday, football. The place gets packed so get there around noon for the one game where you will not get a table until about 7 that evening. The prices are fair in the other food is pretty good too but I generally stick with Guinness and chicken wings. The waitresses are friendly and time passes quickly here so you will find yourself sitting there for a few hours at a time watching football on all the amazing screens they have throughout the bar.

Review №69

As you walk in, you might be forgiven for expecting bar coastal to be a typical example of the sports bar type. And, to some extent, it is indeed a very competent example of such. But what raises it far beyond the average, is the competence, friendliness, and knowledge of the staff. They are really wonderful - and the place rewards visit, if you happen to be in the neighborhood, and like that sort of atmosphere.

Great access to taxi after few drinks.

Review №80

Best wings in the city--- on the larger side, always crispy (never soggy), and perfectly sauced. I prefer the hot sauce but my friends always ask for the special Kerrys sauce. The rest is standard sports bar food, but a little bit pricey. The California theme is cool, and they have a big projector showing games in addition to other tvs around the place.

Review №81

So I want to make sure I state this very clearly. Bar Coastal has PERFECTED bar food. Absolutely PERFECTED it.Now of course I did not eat every item of theirs on the menu. But I did get an order of wings as well as their combo basket of waffle fries and onion fries. (Which is basically just thin onion rings)The wings were PERFECT. Extremely crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And very meaty as well. Even the non-drumsticks had a lot of meat to them.The waffle fries and onion rings were among the best versions I have ever had of each.Reasonable pricing as well. The wings are priced at about $1.30 per for 10 and $1.25 for 20… a bit cheaper if you get 50 or 100 wings.But the extremely large portion of waffle fries and onion rings was just 10 bucks.Service was fine… certainly not stellar but Ive experienced far worse.Cant speak for the other menu items (yet), but if you are looking for a place with TVs to watch a game and you want some drinks and some snacks, the wings, waffle fries, and onion rings are the best you can get anywhere. Ill be back.

In a city of neighborhood bars, I love this place- definitely a neighborhood bar. Its a few blocks from my apartment, but I dont mind the trek for the cold beers and hot wings alone- plus the bartenders know me and treat me well.I head down to watch a baseball or football game, drink a few beers, and I always order their chicken wings- some of the best in the city. Its a very low key place, and theyll make you feel right at home- like a local...

Hands down the best buffalo wings on the UES. As an alternative to chicken, the Porkers are some sort of magical cut of pork that is super crispy on the outside and ridiculously tender on the inside. You will crave them. You will dream about them. You will return to the bar later the same day to eat more of them. You have a problem and you need help. But its okay.

While the beer selection was average, their wings were excellent, with a good variety of sauces to choose from. On Wednesdays, subsequent orders of wings are half off, making a good mid-week snack (perfectly paired with sports-watching like hockey or MAC football) all the more affordable.
