[seidleroni]

I will be in town this weekend in the Upper West Side and i'm looking for some fun bars in the upper west side area. Any recs?

Along Amsterdam in the 70s and 80s are McAleers, Hi Life, Gin Mill, George Keeley's, and Jake's Dilemma. Columbus and 75th has Dive 75.
Of these, George Keeley's is my favorite because of the excellent tap list. The others are cheap and fun.

Depends what your definition of fun is.
For dive bar atmosphere, you aren't going to beat Dublin House on 79th and broadway or Malachy's on 72nd and Columbus.
For Beer Pong and Frat Boy atmosphere you can check out Bourbon Street, Jake's Dilemma, and the Gin Mill.
For good to great beer, and a bit more relaxed atmosphere you can head to George Keeley's or the Dead Poet. Food here is pretty good as far as the bar food in the area goes, and both play good music (not the Bon Jovi/Bruce/Journey mixes you'll hear at the surrounding bars)
There are also a number of good wine bars, Tangled Vine, Tolani, Barcibo that are on the UWS.
Also a little further up is one of my favorite bars, Ding Dong Lounge. A great dive with classic punk/hardcore posters adorning the walls, a pool table, vintage video games, and a decent beer selection.
