20 Best Bars near Branchburg

“The Royal is a bit like walking back in time. Place hasn't changed much over the years. It was old 30+ years ago, except now there's friendlier feeling. Could have something to do with the girls. They're all very friendly and happy. I used to go there for lunch way back in the day (like 30+ way backs) when we worked on Saturdays. Back then you had to walk over to the dinner side to order what you wanted for lunch and they would bring it over to the bar side. Started going again a year or 2 ago for dinner on Saturdays with my bride.. They even know what drinks we're we want now when we walk in. Speaking of walking in. Don't be put off if all the seats are taken. There's plenty of tables in the back. All in all a great little no frills bar.“

“Excellent food and cocktails.“

“We visited Willie McBride’s on a Saturday afternoon because of their gluten free menu items. There are several GF items, and they have a dedicated fryer. My daughter enjoyed the GF chicken fingers and steak fries. I had the fish and chips, and my wife had pulled pork sliders. The food was very good. We will definitely return soon to try other items on their Irish pub menu.“

“Great service, classy, food is always fresh and delicious..drinks are great 💯 recommend.“

We had the pleasure of introducing ourself to the owner on the way out and what a kind and grateful man. I can't wait to be back asap!“

“Verve was hitting on all cylinders last night as we dined with friends. We were seated promptly. Cocktails were well made but did take too long to order and get to the table- something we were willing to overlook once food started arriving. All of our apps were super- chicken buns, pork belly, oysters and calamari’s shared amongst the 5 of us. Everyone raved about their entrees , steaks, lamb and salmon flavorful and perfectly cooked. Desserts were good but could have taken some more effort. Service was competent and professional but wasn’t perfect. All in all a great evening, expensive but good price to value and not out of line with local prices“

“friendly and nice atmosphere“

“Just spent St. Patrick's Day here. Live music, step dancers, amazing bag pipes, incredible food and a great price. They really shamrocked it this year. Our waiter was outstanding too!“

“They have great bloody Mary’s. Bloody Flight was a great choice to try all types they offer. Food was excellent and came out fast. Definitely recommend and will go back“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“This little gem was quite the pleasant surprise on our way through NJ. Wings are crispy skin and tender, the onion rings are perfect with the chipotle aioli and the mozzarella wedges had about a foot of cheese pull! My husband had the Rail burger. He couldn’t finish it because it was so big. One patty but about an inch thick and actually fits the whole bun. Daughters had the poke bowl and chicken quesadillas. So much food and they both said both things were the best they’ve had in their life (14 and 16) and they’ve had those A LOT!

Staff was friendly and I felt bad there was really only one person serving all tables at lunch plus bartending. Service didn’t slack because of this! She kept up with all tables and she busted her butt!

I cannot give this place enough kudos. Great food, amazing service!! In a quiet little town but would be worth the drive to go here again from Ohio. Go check them out. It’ll be worth it!“

“As a local DJ entertainer, the Landing has become a venue in which we perform quite regularly. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and accommodating and truly understands the catering business and what it takes to throw an exceptional celebration. It's always a pleasure to work alongside and partner with them for our shared client events. The food is excellent and prices are reasonable.“

“I had my husband 60th birthday party in the Banquet Room. Giving the BIGGEST shout out Jen, Spencer and John who made it the best party ever. Walked me through every step from planning, ordering and choosing the right menu. It was the greatest party by far that we ever had. Bigger shout out to the bartender Julia and hostess Gabby. They are truly the best we ever had. The food was delicious and plates never empty. The party was a great success thanks to all at Alfonso's. Highly recommended. All you have to do is show up and they handle everything. Everyone who attended all commented how great of a party it was. I was so proud to have chosen Alfonso's. Thank you all!!!!!“

“The service is great and so friendly!! We have to have the Hog Wings…delicious!!“

“We haven't been to Redstone in a while and just after arriving started wondering why. This is a well run restaurant with a professional staff, great food and a really nice bar area. We were immediately greeted and seated within the moment. Our requested table was waiting for us and our Server within a minute arrived with menus. We were also delighted to see the many changes/upgrades to the menu. From start to finish was an extremely enjoyable experience. Great job; lots of fun; great service!“

“Awesome place to hang out...best bartenders around! Courtney and Nikki are AMAZING!“

“A Magical Evening at Ninety Acres Last night, I had a truly wonderful dinner at Ninety Acres celebrating my 20th anniversary with my wife. We started with a refreshing glass of sparkling wine at the bar, where the service was exceptionally kind and welcoming—setting the tone for the evening. Once seated, we were lucky to have Oscar as our waiter. His service was outstanding: warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He walked us through the menu with care, making each dish sound even more enticing. Every course was a delight—from the appetizer to the main course, wine pairing, and dessert. The flavors were rich and beautifully balanced, making for an unforgettable culinary experience. The ambiance was equally impressive. The interior was cozy and elegant, while the outdoor setting offered a magical farm-style atmosphere that added a unique charm to the night. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special dining experience with impeccable service and a serene environment.“
