Awesome burgers and beer selection. Also love the general lack of TVs.

Great little BYOB joint. I recommend the steak tacos. They're cooked with bacon. BACON!

The food has taken an upswing and the staff is decent enough. The music blows though. Used to be great older indie rock and now it's Top 40 Pop. They also have a SERIOUS volume control. It's always way too loud.

Imagine a bar in your older aunt and uncle's living room. That's what this place is like.

Coast Sushi Bar

Update - 7/30/2011
The BYOB aspect actually makes this place pretty affordable. I recommend the steak teriyaki. The only thing to stay away from is the kani pieces; they're way too small for the price.

    Coast was O.K. The service was great and the ambiance was very cozy, but I was really disappointed by the portions of kani. They're charging $4 for a slice when that price gets you a whole piece at just about every other sushi bar in the city. That's such an egregious rip-off, and slightly insulting, so I had to deduct two stars.
