9 Best Bars near Hightstown

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to visit and have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose Tavern on the Lake for Hightstown, our 150th town.

Great eats and comfort food in a place that is at the center of the town. They have a fantastic beer selection on draft that rotates over time. For the fall season, we had a Hot Toddy and Spiked Cider. The French dip sandwich and crab cakes were great.

When there's warmer weather, they have a great outdoor patio too!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere. We’ll definitely comeback.“

“It’s a good spot to hang out“

“Seasons52 Princeton food is delicious and varied as its name implies. Service is excellent as is its atmosphere.Managers, hostest,servers and staff are hands on, knowledgable,friendly and accommodating.Highly recommended.“

“Outdoor patio has transformed this place from a respected dive bar-- with weeknight trivia and karaoke-- to the go-to public house for Riverside parents, Littlebrook parents, and a few graduate departments at Princeton University. Relaxed setting with interesting people. Not to mention beers for as little as $2 (not including tip). Cash only. Figuring out food vending after the departure of Saturn Pizza, but still offers family-friendly American fare. Trivia night and/or karaoke remains a weekly ritual for many.“

“A very special thank-you to Sammy, who managed to host a fabulous party for us with just five days’ notice — something that speaks volumes about his professionalism, calmness under pressure, and genuine desire to make people happy. Nothing felt rushed, nothing was too much trouble, and the entire event ran seamlessly. If you’re looking for a place with great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere — whether for a casual meal or a last-minute celebration — Nottingham Tavern truly delivers.“

“What a great staff! Always sweet and attentive.
The wings and pizza rock! As well as many many other items on the menu. Try.an burger!!
And they have cauliflower crust for my fellow gluten free- ers!
Parking is abundant and the patrons make you feel like one of their own. Love this place.
And don’t forget - Game Night on Wednesday’s - always free to play.
Keep up the amazing work Ryan’s! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
