Shame on you Coogan's

by Rhina

Please save yourself some aggravation and don't go to this Restaurant! I went there for Brunch today with my son and daughter and the owner came charging at me because he thought my son was drinking alcohol. Obviously he was not; as I would never allow my son to drink being that he is a minor. This is what happened: I placed my mimosa at the end of the table to keep it away from my active two year old who was knocking everything off the table. Well instead of asking me politely if I was allowing my son to drink, the owner came charging at me and completely embarrassed and humiliated me, even after I had explained to him that my son was not drinking. He said shame on you!! Well I'd like to say shame on you for treating a customer this way! As you can imagine, I left as an unsatisfied customer and livid that someone would have the audacity to treat me with such disrespect. I really hope that you won't visit this restaurant as I don't think he deserves to get our business.

Rude staff

by bermuda75

I went there with 2 friends to get lunch and had my bottle of water with me. The Waiter came and told me that i can't have it, but he can bring me a glass of water if i want to!!! when i questioned the logic, he was very rude telling me that it is just not allowed and that we can leave if we don't like it.

I was shocked with his conduct and asked for the manager who to my surprise wasn't any nicer. The manager told me that it is the law and when i asked about any documentation for this law, he said "i don't have to prove you anything, you can leave if you don't like it here"

I went next door "Columbia Cafe" and got a really nice service with better food.

They stopped doing karaoke

I went there for karaoke. They stopped doing it. Changed it to Singers Cabaret (for the serious singer).

Washington Heights Landmark

by Katrina H

One of the first things I learned from professors in graduate school was get to the Coogan's family. I often run into professors and doctors during lunch on Thursday and Friday. I use Coogan's for everything- great for lunch or dinner when my family visits, business lunches or if I need to relax after a stressful week. ( $5 cosmos all weekend)

Over the past 2 years I have probably had everything on the menu but have to say my favorite is the Capt Jack burger(with a pint of Guinness) or the horseradish salmon.

Whether you're living in the heights or just passing through Coogan's is a must!

good uptown spot

by rolon1

this is a good place to go uptown, there are never problems here. off duty cops frequent this spot regularly, as with other civil servants, fire/ems hospital etc.

• Pros: Police/Fire/ems/Hospital Hangout
• Cons: Fod is cheap greasy food.
