The U Bar & Grill: 2x1 Mondays and $3 Tacos Near Columbia
The U Bar & Grill doesn’t publish a happy hour. It’s a Latin sports bar at 1207 Amsterdam Ave, on the corner of W 120th St in Morningside Heights, and its deals come as a weekly calendar: 2x1 on Mondays, $3 tacos on Tuesdays and a $39.95 bottomless brunch on weekends.
The verdict: pick your night. Monday is the one that matters, because the 2x1 runs all day and all night. The catch is that the bar doesn’t say what the 2x1 covers, and it mentions “drink specials” and college happy hours without giving a single day, time or price. Treat it as a sports bar with a themed night for every day, not a place to show up at 5pm for a discount.
What to Expect
- Monday: 2x1, all day and all night.
- Tuesday: Taco Tuesday, with $3 tacos.
- Wednesday: karaoke with wing specials.
- Thursday: Parrilla Thursday, a grill night for two.
- Friday: College Fridays.
- Saturday: Fight Night Saturdays, UFC and boxing.
- Brunch: Brunch Latino, Saturday and Sunday from 10am, with a $39.95 bottomless option for 2 hours.
