Genesis Bar & Restaurant
And on the seventh day, God created a bar. With shiny mahogany wood furnishings, glistening hardwood floors, and seven smart-looking plasma-screen TVs, Genesis looks about as new as a bar can. This classy sports bar, opened in January 2006, also boasts sidewalk seating and a backyard beer garden for when the weather turns warm. Young professionals and older neighborhood folks will both enjoy the moderately priced lunch, dinner, and brunch menus, and while service is currently slow, the kitchen is already turning out delicious apps and entrées. Genesis offers Magners, Smithwicks, and Guinness on tap, but it’s no rowdy Irish sports pub. Take a date for a drink or your parents for dinner and you’ll impress, without breaking the bank.

My home away from home

Love this place... great staff, the bartenders make awesome Pina Coladas and the food is downright good. It is basically THE UES pub for locals...And no this is not a B&T or frat bar-crawling crowd.
It's home away from home for those who actually live in the neighborhood. Thank you Genesis!

Poor Service

Food was good but service from they bartender was non-existent as he was too busy watching their soccer games to pay attention to customers. Not worth the bother.

Great!

Nice place to go for a chill time. The food is above average pub fare, but sometimes the specials are quite impressive and creative.
Service has yet to be slow, unless you come for lunch during the week when there is a skeleton crew.
If you're not into sports, don't go during a gameday.
