Sasha acts as if she runs the place while pounding drinks behind the bar while at full capacity (illegal). Then has the gall to order food during crunch time and tell me food comes out based on tickets when I ordered my entree and separate order of ice cold fries at the same time. Ice cold fries came in 45 minutes. An hour plus later still no entree yet biligrerent Sasha had her hot dog 2 min later after ordering. Best part is I wasn't even conversing with her lol. This bar is ran by complete misfits with the exception of a few. Will NEVER go back. Owners should be down right embarrassed!!! What a horrible experience and waste of a beautiful evening.
Update: Hey Fred - it's 3 years later and I still have not stepped foot in your establishment, but the negative experiences continue to pile up and you do nothing (this feedback is direct from customers). For you to blatantly lie that nobody drinks behind your bar is comical. Would you like me to post the footage on socials for everyone to see? I still have it. And how would you know what happens when you are rarely ever there? 🤔
This place is EXCELLENT. Good times and good people. It's all you need.

A true NJ gem. Finally got a chance to sit outside for food/drinks. Food=Great, Beer selection=Great. The outdoor setup is what really blew us away. There's multiple firepit setups, and seating all thru the back yard. We sat directly next to the river, ordered dinner/drinks, and enjoyed the live music entertainment. Servers were friendly and joking around with us. People had their dogs with them, and the crowd was mixed from families to singles and everything in between. Really great spot, we can't wait to return!

Great brew pub with 16 beers on tap, great food, talented friendly bartenders and an open air area by the river. My fave!

Amazing beer garden with the best staff, food, and drink options. Add in trivia on Thursday with a really nice backyard area, and I'm in for life!

sooooo disappointed. have been on the search for a place to stop by frequently for a good drink and food but river of beer was so disappointing. never got our check and after about 40 minutes had to go ask to pay. had to ask for our drinks comped rather than it being offered. insanely bad service - was it just us? we watched a family get seated after us for dinner service as well and leave before us. disappointing! anyone have any good recs on a similar spot that won’t dog on their customers?

Great staff, great service, great people and excellent beer. I've been here last year and can totally recommend for folks who want to spend evening with the great company and glass of cold beer in their hand. 🍺🍻

Great food. Bartender seemed like he'd rather be dead--very relatable. Only added to the charm of this place. 10/10 no notes, WILL be back.

This place could be so great, but the service is terrible and it’s been terrible since it opened… No matter how many review responses say they’re going to work on it. I’ve waited a half an hour plus for a drink multiple times. It’s a shame because it’s such a cool spot especially in the summer months with the outdoor area, but the service is soooooo slow.

There needs to be a study on how bad the bar service is here. Multiple times and multiple bartenders, it seems like it gets progressively worst. Good spot w decent food but always multiple people at end of bar just standing around and not paying attention. Servers and bartenders. It almost seems like they’re ignoring people on purpose.

Been here quite a few times but had never ordered food until now. Came with my girlfriend and her dog, so we sat out back. The staff was super cool and even brought out some cold water for the dog.
We both got the fried chicken sandwich, and wow… it rocked. Might honestly be one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Super juicy with just the right balance of sweet and spicy. The slaw, pickles, and (I believe) hot honey pulled it all together perfectly. I crushed the whole thing, no hesitation.
Fries were also on point—crispy and flavorful.
