Although I haven't been to all of these, my recommendations are based on good sources. Also, I'm NOT sure what your definition of bar food is:
Trumbull Kitchen
City Steam Brewery
Morton's
McKinnons Irish pub
Max Downtown
Agave Grill
Vito's by the Park

Agree with nj's picks and woul add Salute, Feng and Black Eyed Sally's.

Have u been to coaches

Haven't been there in quite a while but assume it's still typical bar food. My choices and those of NJ are an attempt to get you better quality food offerings. I would also add Dish.

I would take City Steam off of the list. the food is mediocre at best (good beer though) and the service is consistently AWFUL, at least if you are getting table service. The awful service generally means your food will arrive at your table lukewarm. After going here for lunch and having the same results 3 times, we have declared City Steam "dead to us" at my office.

I would add Vaughan's Public House.
