      I found a home away from home, coming from San Francisco. It's so nice that there is a 49er bar in NYC, you want to show up an hour before the game it gets packed and for playoffs probably an hour and a half.
      During the commercial breaks, they played Bay Area music, and it feels like a little bit of home in there, there's a lot of regulars, and it's so great to see everyone for each game.
      The staff is amazing, they are on top of it, making sure everyone gets served. They do not offer food, but you can bring in food. When it's not a game day, it's a great local bar to go to and they also offer happy hour, seasonal cocktails, a great beer list and super friendly staff.

      Best 49ers bar in Manhattan. The environment is great for games and real fans. The only downside is it's standing room only. You have to get there early to secure a spot to sit. Otherwise bring your standing shoes and enjoy the atmosphere.

      Great spot! Bartender was attentive and ambience was so relaxing. Little candles on the bar added a nice touch! Bathrooms were ok too! Would absolutely go back and recommend this spot. Also liked that they had huge TV's to watch Yankee game. (AC was blasting which was great too)

      Cheers!

      PROS: The place was a very cute bar. Nice prices compared to some other bars and table shuffle board.

      CONS: This bar is too small to have any large office outings and one of the bathroom locks doesn't work so some woman barged in on me.

      OVERALL: Not the best bar out there and I would hold it in if I were you and not use those bathrooms

      So they weren't serving food when we went there to watch the 49ers game. The place gets uncomfortably packed and they were still letting people in. Great energy but poor management. I'd love to give it a shot when it's not crazy but I guess the 49ers making it to the playoffs warrant a packed house.

      After being rejected from other clubs due to no reservations and dress attire I was recommended this bar by a bouncer. It was so fun and loud, they even had a full size shuffle board (which I forgot to take a photo of :( ) the atmosphere felt club like- though it was smaller with no dance floor there was good vibe going around.

      So glad Plug Uglies has opened up on the UES. Great little neighborhood spot. If Adrianna is bartending, even better!

      I've been to this bar twice now, and both times the same bartender made our experience an uncomfortable one. My friends and I were trying to enjoy our night, but after offering us shots (taking them with us & then putting the ones he offered us on our bill??), he drunkenly and persistently hit on my friend, who was drunk at this point because of the shots. We just got really weird vibes. I wouldn't go alone.

      Pros: cheap drinks, fast service, big space for large groups.
