Read More On Citysearch by vanilla at nymag.com 1/9/2010 - half off sushi!!I LOVE coming to hi-life for half priced sushi on monday and tuesday. sure i have been here for a decent brunch, fajitas on saturdays and drinks here and there, but mondays at hi-life are my fav. with the nice weather lately, the patio has been packed and it can be hard to get a table outside with a bigger group. the service is good and the crowd--eclectic upper west side.

Read More On Citysearch by foodielover at nymag.com 12/1/2008 - great costomer serviceHi-Life Bar & Grill is an awesome restaurant with specatular food. The staff was very understanding that we had a meeting with our friends, food came out quick and perfect with no sacarifice of quality. The decor was good and fabulous with upscale service to match. 5 stars all around.
Read More On Citysearch MelinD 11/28/2008 - excellent dinner I must say the the grilled chicken and citrus salad is really good. Mashed potatoes and creamed spinach was excellent too. I had the pork chop and it was great. It's not a fancy place but it does have a good home cooking kind of feel to it. Service is excellent but parking can be a challenge. This is a must visit!
Read More On Citysearch rshor 10/27/2008 - L.A. SceneReminds me of an L.A. scene. Hi Life is cool in that, while it's easy going and casual. You never know when you might see a celebrity. A few weeks ago my girlfriends and I (all aspiring actresses) sat near James Franco from Spiderman. In New York it seems the celebrities only go to the downtown place of the moment, while in L.A. celebrities pop-up everywhere. We go to Hi Life for the food and ca...
Read More On Citysearch diana1919 10/22/2008 - I am hooked on Hi LifeI started coming to Hi Life with friends to take advantage of their daily special deals. I still come for the deals, but now I?m hooked on Hi Life?s excellent comfort food. They have great mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, hand cut fries and delicious pastas.
Read More On Citysearch adycole 9/9/2008 - City's ClassicI love the city's classic, been there forever "joints", e.g. Pete's Tavern, Walkers, Old Town, Lenox Lounge, but Hi Life is my favorite. I've been frequenting Hi Life for over ten years and it has just grown on me. In my opinion there is simply not a more comfortable place to eat a steak and watch a ballgame, or meet friends for dinner. The decor is a mix of mahogany and leather upholstery, with ...

Read More On Citysearch by rgjferris at nymag.com 7/13/2008 - Very good combination of food and drinksHi Life is the perfect combination of food choices and drinks. Their sushi selections are varied, their martinis done well. Great ambiance, good location, very amenable staff who are very attentive and friendly. Would recommend.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/25/2008 - Great Staple on the UWSI recommend this place for anyone that has not tried it yet. They have good early bird specials which keeps us coming back often. I love their sushi (spicy tuna roll is my favorite) and great burgers and fries. They are right across the street from Fred's which is also not bad, but not as good as Hi-Life.

Read More On Citysearch by rcjr at Menuism 7/7/2007 - Great food, vibe and staff!First and foremost, the staff was not only excellent but pretty darn hot as well!! We came in on a Monday which is Sushi special night and (in my party of 3) each had a couple different rolls (my favorites were the spicy tuna and the Hi-Life roll). I know there are a lot of "authentic" sushi places in NYC but this was some of the best sushi I've had in a long time, and the price was perfect.

(which is not always the case in some places!!) Our drinks and food were delicious, and the manager was very prompt and enthusiastic. There is a great vibe at that place. Definately a fun experience and an awesome place to eat and/or just hang out. Also, the amount of seating they hav...

i used to go to hi life ages ago and remembered it being pretty good so when my bf and i found ourselves on the UWS we decided to check it out. things started out okay, we were served our drinks fairly quickly and they were fine. but when our potato skins appetizer showed up with burnt skins and barely melted cheese, we became wary about what was to come. and what came can only be described as...

Read More On Citysearch adriane26 5/19/2006 - Highly RecommendedI love this place. It has a fun atmosphere and great food. The resturant offers early dinner deals in addition to daily specials. They have half price sushi on Monday & Tuesday and 5 dollars off wine Wednesday & Sunday.

Their specials, food variety, waiters and waitresses, good prices, outside seating and huge plasma screen Tv's make The Hi-Life Bar and Grill the place it is. Their food consists of good American style food, mexican food, fish, meat and sushi. They have a half price sushi night on Monday. Hi- Life Bar and Grill's hamburger...

Read More On Citysearch yellowchaser 10/17/2005 - Always Awesome!Definitely the best place for burgers and drinks on a warm weekend night. There's great seating outside, and on the side by the large open doors. Excellent burgers!
Read More On Citysearch upwsunshine 5/4/2005 - Rudolph the red nosed patronAs Christmas approaches my stops at Hi-Life seem to increase in frequency. Their simply isn't a cozier joint in all of NYC. Yes, I do quite alot of drinking there, but I use the always excellent food to entice my friends to join me. I'm waiting now for huge snow storm to trap me at Hi-Life right thru Christmas.
Read More On Citysearch docareguy 12/15/2004 - over the topLooked like a scene from Scarface meets Mod. First floor area is classy but stupid pond in basement and "try too hard" beds on second floor were sad. Nice drinks though and friendly crowd and staff.
Read More On Citysearch miaminygirl 10/15/2004 - disgusting foodI'm not a fussy eater and I have never walked out of a restaurant before. But I walked out of hi-life because the food was plain inedible. We also had to wait 40 minutes for our food to come out. When it did come out, they gave us the wrong order. Hi-Life offered huge portions - ordered Pad Thai pasta bowl special - but the food was disgusting. The noodles were all stuck together with red sticky ...
Read More On Citysearch crayola201 8/19/2004 - Mon/Tues Sushi Feast!Almost don't want to share this place & have it get too busy, but, Mon & Tues night specials include 1/2 price sushi which is really fresh. The manager & staff are excellent - very nice. Strongly recommended!
Read More On Citysearch danrausher 8/9/2004 - Total localThe Hi Life has been pouring the drinks for as long as I can remember. It was welcoming when I was in college, and it's still welcoming even though I'm in my 30's (but I tend not to go there on weekend nights anymore). The bartenders will put a smile on your face, even if they won't be winning the swimsuit contest anytime soon. I have never eaten the food here, but why would I want to? The dr...

Read More On Citysearch noxy 5/30/2003 - Great Neighborhood PlaceThis is a great neighborhood place with a very low-key but fun atmosphere and good music playing. It's also cheap.
Read More On Citysearch cackin 2/10/2003 - livin the Hi-LifeMy husband's and my favorite upper west side neighborhood restaurant bar none, is thankfully not fully appreciated as I can usually get a seat in a booth or the cafe without having to wait. We love the friendly, been there forever charm, but even more important is the varied menu. I go for sushi and the chicken & citrus salad, and the big guy usually has a steak and fries.
Read More On Citysearch saricho 1/26/2003 - Neighborhood StandardThis place is an old standard in the neighborhood. For its varied and rather large menu, it does just about everything pretty well. Half priced sushi nights are great but I swear the pieces are half the size on those nights. It is both a nice enough place to take someone and mellow enough to relax at the bar. There are always food and drink specials, which is also nice. The burgers are great...
Read More On Citysearch nyc_fo_life 1/18/2003 - Hi-Life? Hi-Life? What about my life?Unassuming...kind of divy...but Jenn and Heather sure can entertain. We had a surprisingly good time and cut some rug to the fine tunes. Oh, and shots are only $3 bucks a pop on the weekends, a rare find in the city.
Read More On Citysearch yo_mama 11/9/2002 - Not on the U.W.S.This place is decent, but the food is just as expensive as a nice restaurant in the same neighborhood. I recommend going elsewhere if you are in the 'hood.
Read More On Citysearch gaudyglitterati 10/28/2002 - Saturday Night Guacamole HeavenSaturday Night Guacamole Night is the HI-Life answer to Free Rice Wine at the Chinese place nearby. It's totally killer, fresh and served with a smile by Marcie, who likes R. Kelly maybe a little too much. Anyway, the drinks were sensational and the atmosphere is cool if you like to party...
the dj is also a menace on the turntables...he doesn't like R Kellly, which I think is great. The manager...
Read More On Citysearch tymickup 10/16/2002 - High on Hi Life!!Hi Life Bar and Grill is one of the best bars in the city!!! The bartenders, especially Heather, can always be found with smiles on their faces and a drink at the ready! The atmosphere is cool and relaxed, with a great variety of people. The food is pretty good, too, and quite inexpensive. It is particularly great on a Friday night...especially if you want to just have a few drinks and good ...
