From OpenTable: 

Hi-Life Bar & Grill is one of the Upper Westside’s most popular and longstanding neighborhood restaurants (est. 1991). Hi-Life's 1930's decor is the backdrop for bar & grill classics like flame-grilled steaks and hamburgers, broiled and seared fresh fish specials, bountiful "Big Bowls" of pasta and entree salads, and last but not least a Sushi/Raw bar. (Hi-Life was the first NYC restaurant to install a traditional sushi bar in a non-Japanese restaurant setting in 1993. Expertly prepared sushi & sashimi at Hi-Life is a natural extension of the classic Raw Bar one might expect in our 1930's environment.)
Hi-Life also serves a "traditional Westside" brunch that features fresh squeezed juices, complimentary blueberry muffins & cinnamon toast as well as a 2.95 brunch cocktail deal.
In the warmer months Hi-Life outdoor seating includes 28 seats along Amsterdam Ave and another 18 seats on our 83rd St side.

From CityGrid: 

Hi-Life's vintage neon sign with a blinking martini glass sets the stage for a real New York experience. The 1930s decor, art deco mahogany bar and cozy booths and banquettes offer patrons (couples and groups alike) various ways to enjoy the highly rated food and perfectly prepared cocktails. The menu features flame-grilled steaks & burgers, daily purchased fish and shellfish, with "elaborate oversized pastas and salads as well." The raw bar is manned by a traditionally trained sushi chef, who presents expertly prepared sushi, sashimi and maki. Every Thurs, Fri & Sat, Hi-Life's DJ hosts the interactive "iPod Lounge", featuring downloaded song requests, and your own iPod play lists ... & of course, icy martinis, specialty cocktails, 10 draft beers & wines by the glass are served every day.

This restaurant is definitely a great place to go if you want a drink with your dinner. The food isn’t really gourmet, but if you’re craving a burger and a beer, this is the right place to go. The fries are addictive! They come in a really cute cone if you order them as an appetizer. The mussels are amazing as well. And the sushi is surprisingly really great! Even better if you come on mondays or tuesdays, because those are the 1/2 price sushi nights.

i’ve been here a few times now. it’s more a place for drinking and having a bite to eat to sop up the booze. don’t get me wrong, the food is ok but if your a foodie then come here and soak up the casual atmosphere, get a drink (cheap) and go to dinner someplace else. my favorite things here are the sushi rolls. and they have a happy hour sushi roll half off thing that makes the trip even more worthwhile. and if you happen to walk during baseball season while the yankees and red sox are playing, expect load drunk fans of both teams to be yelling at each other and the several large screen tv’s around the place. all in all fun.

Do NOT go to this restuarant!

I used to be a loyal customer and was extremely disappointed with how the management team treats its loyal customers. I left a pair of sunglasses at my table. I called, the manager said no glasses. Next time I went the server came up to…

Perfect compromise

Comfortable the way I like it, good food my girl friend likes. Kind of a cross between a dive bar and an East Village hip joint
