10 Best Bars in Hamilton

“This bar has been around for ages. It's popular with the locals and motorcycle riders. There's a surprisingly large food menu and the food is decent. Not a bad place to stop for a quick lunch and cold beer if you're in the area.“

“Great local spot. Friendly bartenders. Great prices.“

“Great entertainment--Aaron Quarterman Jr.“

“Fantastic menu! Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The menu prices were very reasonable. We ordered the Shrimp Croquetas and they were delicious and enough for our table of 4. The Artisanal Plate which was exceptional. The chicken empanadas were the best I've had. The Paella was out of this world! The best flavored Paella I've had, filled with fresh seafood. This place serves great mixed drinks and the menu has something for everyone.“

“My husband and I had dinner at the Yardville Inn Restaurant & Tavern to celebrate his birthday. It was our first time at the Yardville Inn. We walked in around 5pm on a Saturday evening and were pleasantly surprised that few tables were occupied on the restaurant side of the establishment. We were immediately greeted by our server, Megan, who seated us and immediately took our drink order. I ordered a Kamikaze but there was some confusion and I was served a Cosmopolitan instead. I didn't even have a chance to say anything about the mix-up because the bartender (blonde haired woman whose name I didn't catch) came to our table to ask how I liked the martini. I explained that I had ordered a Kamikaze and she immediately took the Cosmo and came back a few minutes later with a Kamikaze which was perfectly made. Just 2 of those and I was feeling a bit tipsy.?

For our appetizer, we shared an order of fried calamari which was lightly battered and fried, sautéed with hot peppers and served with a side of Marinara sauce. The portion was very generous and too much for the 2 of us to finish! I loved their use of hot pepper with the calamari. It wasn't overwhelming but gave it just enough "kick".

For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Italiano (roasted red peppers & spinach in a garlic white wine sauce with mozzarella over penne pasta) which was delicious and served as a large portion! My husband had the Yardville Chicken sautéed with asparagus and lump crabmeat in a brandy cream sauce over angel hair pasta.

We couldn't finish our meals. In fact, we barely ate half of what was on our dinner plates. We took the leftovers home and our sons, age 18 & 20, had it for their dinner. Both said the food was delicious! We didn't have room for dessert, but hopefully we will get to try it the next time around.

I would definitely recommend the Yardville Inn Restaurant & Tavern to anyone looking to eat a good meal or have a few drinks at a historic establishment with great service! All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and attentive to our needs.

Cost...reasonably priced dinner and drinks. Kamikaze cocktails were $12 each. The bill came to $98 which covered 2 chicken entrées (came with soup or salad), 1 appetizer (fried calamari), 2 cocktails, 1 Shirley Temple, & 1 Pepsi. Not bad for a birthday dinner!?“

“great service and food! Live music Thursday nights!“

“The inside looks like a throwback picture from the 70's. The bar has the neighborhood's favorite people, but THE CRABS AND THE FISH IS OUTSTANDING!!! It's becoming my Saturday spot for the summer. The place is over priced for an extra butter but the CRABS are the main attraction!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Old Yardville Inn, a family-owned gem in Yardville, NJ, with a rich history dating back to the 1700s. The establishment’s charm is beautifully preserved, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The owner, Eleni, a second-generation proprietor, exemplifies hospitality. Her friendly demeanor and dedication to excellence are evident throughout the restaurant. The cleanliness of the venue is impeccable, reflecting the staff’s commitment to providing a pleasant dining experience.

The menu features a variety of dishes made from fresh ingredients, including hand-cut beef filets and seafood sourced directly from the pier. The hearty comfort food, such as homemade soups and sauces, is prepared daily by their innovative chef, complemented by creative weekly specials and weekend favorite entrées. 

Whether you’re looking to dine in, enjoy a drink at the tavern, or pick up some beer, wine, or spirits to go, the Old Yardville Inn offers friendly and swift service. Their central location provides easy access and convenient parking, making it a perfect spot to meet up with friends or family. 

In summary, the Old Yardville Inn is a delightful blend of historical charm, exceptional service, and delicious cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.“

“Chili's has consistently proven to be a standout in casual dining, earning its merit through a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Their menu offers a diverse range of flavors, catering to various tastes with their signature dishes like the mouthwatering Baby Back Ribs and the classic Southwest Eggrolls. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between relaxed and vibrant, making it an ideal spot for both family dinners and friendly gatherings. With attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, Chili's delivers an enjoyable dining experience that keeps patrons coming back for more.“

“Not sure why recent reviews have been negative because i have nothing but great things to say about this place! I work in the restaurant industry and think they’ve done a phenomenal job. Service was great, very attentive and informative. Atmosphere was relaxing- not chaotic and peaceful. Food was the best i’ve had in months, from the complementary fluffy bread to desert, it was perfect and just the right portions. Food and drinks were delivered to the table promptly. Id say i’m a food enthusiast and am always trying new places. Traveled over an hour to try this place and i have no regrets. Will definitely be back! Id also like to point out that, in general, people will have great experiences and once they have one bad encounter that’s when they want to leave a review. People only leave reviews on places if they’ve had a blown out of the water experience or a terrible one, unless they religiously review everywhere they visit.“
