50 Best Bars near East Brunswick

“Always amazing food!! And great staff!! French dip is my recommendation!“

“On a Tuesday evening, it was quiet--giving us time and space to talk with our friends, which was our goal. On Tuesday, there is also a special deal on appetizers: buy one, get one. We enjoyed our food. We looked over the check, which was just fine, as expected, but when we handed over our credit card, whoever ran the card put a different total on the charge, which we noticed as soon as the card was returned. They fixed it, but it should not have happened. Basically, a good place for appetizers, burgers, pizzas, and simple entrees. We will go back.“

“Food was good Service was on point Courteous“

“The food is 4 stars as a hotel restaurant. Food was just ok ... some good, some mediocre. I was staying next door at the Residence Inn so this was really the only place that was within a short/medium walk. I went a second time without hesitation. The third night i didnt really want to, but wanted to drive even less. App portions were huge. Calamari was ok. Bbq chicken wings were great, sweet chili wings were not good. Quesadilla was really good (super greasy from all the cheese) Chicken sandwich was really good. Chicken Caesar was good but a bit too much dressing. Creme brule was very disappointing. Had low expectations for a hotel resto ... it beat them, but only by a little.“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“Great food. Great service“

“Great spot for a drink, good food, and conversation“

“Haven't set foot inside Docks since 2004 for no other reason than it's a little out of the way from home and I'm not much of a drinker. I've been working in the area again for about a year and wanted to find a local spot to go with some coworkers and figured since it was close, why not try Docks. I happened across a picture of one of their burgers and had to try one since having my gallbladder removed and being able to once again enjoy the occasional bacon cheeseburger. Stopped there tonight with a coworker, got the Houston Burger and let me tell you... it was incredible. Burger was well seasoned and juicy (even though I always order well done) and the bacon was top quality. The prices were fantastic and my coworker said they had one of the best Guinness draughts he's had in a long time. Definitely see it turning into a to-do after work more often.“

“Nagpuri Sahuji in Iselin, NJ, is a gem, renowned for its masterful saffron-infused Old Fashioned, an exquisite rarity. Their Puran Poli is exceptional, boasting a homemade taste with a generous filling and a thin, non-greasy cover. Not only is it authentically Sahuji, but it's also a haven for delicious food. Owners Neeraj and Swapna add a personal touch with their warm, down-to-earth hospitality. The ambiance and service are nothing short of five-star. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience“

“This is a perfect example of a tried and true local mom & pop shop serving the local community. Everyone who works here is friendly and knowledgeable. The bar area is enormous and a great place to unwind after a rough day. I even come here with my laptop and work from time to time. And the food is delicious! Sure, places like this won’t have the same vast selection as a Total Wine or Joe Canal, but the owners have always been able to order me anything I need and will even stock it regularly if it gets a following. Come support this wonderful local business, order a cocktail and some wings, and get to know the regular crew on both sides of the bar!“

“Great time so wonderful 🥂“

“I went to Batch today with colleagues. It was a perfect after-work spot with a great vibe, excellent service, and delicious small plates. My friends and I can't wait to go back.“

“We got the Bratwurst at the New Brunswick Oktoberfest. Best I ever had and I've been going to them all over the tristate area for 25 years.“

“My favorite meal at Stuff Yer Face is the Turkey Club Boli with a side order of chicken tenders with their homemade honey mustard. Yum!“

“Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar is first class! Not only is the seafood fantastic, but the dry aged steaks and cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommend“

“Good food. Very slow service. Need to get the TVs to work or at least hire staff that are able to change the channels on them.“

“Homemade pasta and wood fired pizza.“

“better than last always great place to chilling“

“Every year we take a trip or two to come to this restaurant from Rochester NY ! One year we brought friends of 12 people and went to make reservations and they were full ! Once I told them who we were and we come every year they went above and beyond and got us a private table in the back by the street and accommodated all of us no problem ! Everyone loved it there AND one of their waiters is from where we are in NY it was great to have conversations with him ! Can’t wait to go back again . The mixed drinks as in the mojitos are my favorite! The oil for dipping is perfect !“

“Posted up in the center of the pub. Me and these two mad lads started drilling. Ice was about 4 inches and ol' Stout was struggling to breach through the ice. After a few minutes of turmoil he was finally able to break and we heard the glorious rush of the water gushing like a foutian out of the portal to the dark unknown. We stood there conquistadors above a murky gold; fish. We set our thrones upon the ice and readied our rods. Our mouths watering at the thought of the first fish. With bait and hand a glee in our hearts we awaited the first bite. But folks, as everyone knows, fishing isn't about the catch nor the side of the fish. But it's the spot and the friends we make along the way. We caught no fish, not even ol' Stout. But we had a splendid time, and like the conquistadors of old we left with nothing. Oh yea and there's uhh ... darts in the back or something.“

“My friends haven't been out since their son was born 2 months ago and this was the perfect spot to go! Played a few rounds of shuffleboard (2 pool tables as well) put some money in the juke box, no kitchen but we got pizza delivered...all around good vibes :) FYI cash only $$$“

“The night before my wife's 50th high school reunion (North Plainfield, class of 1975), a large group of the attendees went to a pre-party at Ellery's. The pizza served here was pretty good, but it was a little greasy. Besides plain, they offered sausage and a few other styles. The restaurant also served wings and salad, which I passed on. The get together ended with a great selection of fancy cookies, where I really over-indulged.“

“The place it’s very nice .. for the whole family..“

“Very inviting atmosphere. Lucas the nanager always is eager too make sure myself and guests are having a great experience. The staff is second to none. Lee the bartender is fat friendly and I'm tip if everything his knowledge is great. The rest of the staff is always excellent and friendly“

“It’s a very nice place to relax for drinks with friends!!!!“

“Was here for a soccer tournament and stumbled in from a quick search. Definitely get the wings! The food was overall great and exceeded our expectations. Drafts were cold and good as well. We came on a Tuesday evening so not busy but the bartender was also very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend“

“the best drinks and burgers around 😋“

“Check out this place! Great food and drink specials.“

“GREAT PEOPLE. FRIENDS UNITY CHARITY“

“Such a welcoming and friendly spot“

“Todo buen ambiente buena comida y buen trato“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“Bartender is extremely nice.. her name is Eliii The only problem is that factor that the manager is watching her as she do her job. I don’t know how to fell comfortable about it. She can’t feel her self.Elliie is an extremely outing person. And she should deserved a better position and saltire“

“Highly recommend! Nothing not to like!!! Perfect and Quaint w/all you can look for in a neighborhood establishment: Touch Tunes, Pool Table, Darts, Very Reasonable $, Amazing Draft Specials, Friendly Atmosphere and Of Course Service w/ a Smile, Smile, Smile 😊!“

“Great music, great food, top notch service and last but not least: breathtaking views of NYC, keep it up 💕“

“We wanted to find somewhere with good late night bar food with tvs and a pool table. Burger was great! Service was fun! Leagues had the pool table but that’s okay. Still a great night out.“

“If soccer is your sport of choice, then you’re in the right place! Good prices, friendly atmosphere and staff!“

“Great place to go out dancing, Friendly Bartenders! and Amazing food“

“nice“

“I've been going to the South River Pub for many many years and I used to bartend there as well. It's my hometown bar and I love it. My mom knew the owners and i grew up with their kids and they have become like family. I particularly love karaoke night on Fridays with DJ Rob, who has become a dear friend to me over the years as well. The regulars are fun, kind and caring people and when I go there it feels like family. Like “Cheers.” They don't serve food but you can bring your own if you like. Sometimes for special events and football, Lil will make a little food buffet for the customers. It's always a fun time.“

“The bar tenders are always nice and respectful. This bar is very nice to locals and all it patrons. The pool table is fun and if you like to Gamble they have lottery too. They also have packaged goods. Great business all together! They also have PBR on tap.“

“I recently visited the District 7 Restaurant & Bar and had an amazing experience. The BBQ chicken wings at the bar were delicious. What stood out the most was the exceptional service provided by Edei, who made the best Old Fashioned cocktails in New Jersey. Highly recommend this place for a great experience!“

“Just had my Aunt’s 80th birthday celebration at SLS and the experience could not have been better. From the planning with Judy to the day of party execution with Jane. Even the owner Mark stopped by to check in. The room was warm, the service was impeccable and the food was excellent for all 40 guests - which is no small feat. We highly recommend Stage Left and their sister restaurant Lombardi’s. A great place to make some life long memories.“
