Love this place. It's basically north-western NJ's local "dead bar".I'll always be here for all the Dead cover bands. Diamond Eye Jack, This Old Engine, and whoever else they can book.Good beer selection. Fair prices. Chill and laid-back staff. Great crowd.I wish they took out a few tables to make more dance floor space though. It seems like we always need more dance floor space.I wish they'd start booking some real deal bluegrass bands, some blues singers, and maybe a bit of jazz thoughBut literally, I love this place. It's family. It's home.

This is a true blue bar. The kind your grandfather enjoyed.

Do you have a website? Can I view a menu online? Can we eat your food outside? Thank you.

I stopped here for a drink with my 10y son and they told me no under 21s allowed on the property (not even in the garden)EDIT: I’ll tell you what was truly “terrible” - the reek of desperation at the bar. Definitely more hookup friendly than family friendly. Cheers

Great live music joint/bar. I've opened for bands here and seen many more bands here.

We had a fab time at Bernie's tonight. Great music, nice food and a big friendly crowd.

One of the last great roadhouse bars in New Jersey. Awesome staff! Florida guitar legend Raiford Starke totally ripped it up last weekend - a "must see" performer!!!

Locals flood in when they’ve got live music every weekend. Quick service and friendly staff keep the drinks flowing.
