Washington Heights (North)
Vibes: Girls Night Out Approved Happy Hour Hotspots Late Night Legends Live Music Showtime
Sofia Bar & Grill is a late-night Washington Heights bar-restaurant known for weekend brunch buffets, costillas-focused platters, and mixed grills backed by DJs and live bands. It’s more about lively, barbecue-leaning plates with drinks than slow-smoked purist BBQ.
