“Great time with my family for lunch, great food and great atmosphere but our waitress Abby gets the 5 Stars for service (Awesome Abby 🤩)“

“Best place to celebrate St.Patricks Day! Funtimes. Best corned beef sandwich! Awesome drinks!“

“I used to live in the area and it took me 7 years to be back at Dingbatz, it's a small venue and sometimes you can't even move around but it is what it is. Sound, staff and service are great and don't forget to purchase some merch.“

“I was recently in New Jersey for a concert and staying at a hotel for a few nights. My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat nearby. We decided to go to this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever. The atmosphere was incredible. Everyone in there was so cool and the bartender was fantastic and very helpful. She recommended the Jack Daniels burger so we both went with it. When I tell you we both dreamed about this burger for our entire trip. We ended up going back to this place two more times. It was such a great local place with great people. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re ever in the area go there and get the Jack Daniels burger. Talk to the locals. Have a pint and enjoy the vibes. 5/5. 10/10. Incredible.“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“Went for dinner on Friday with my boys. Stephanie was amazing. her recommendations for entrees was perfect. The timing and meals were great. Was a nice evening.“

“good food great music. nice atmosphere 👌“

“oh yeah! Harrisons newest hot spot“

“Great food. Tiny place and if you go late on certain days you may not get a table. Staff is hit or miss. One day I witnessed three young girls working there standing behind the bar talking to each other and on their phones rather then tending to the customers. I do have to give support to the one young lady who eventually had to run the whole place herself till someone came to cover the bar. They should always have more than one person working the main dining area. If you want a good bar pie come here.“

“Raised in port richmond also Deninos,mugs away, Real Madrid Theresa & Mimmos….“

“Walked in this weekend for the first time and the female bartender was super friendly and helpful! We just wanted to stop in for a quick app and a beer. We ordered the fries and 2 rounds of beers and the check was super reasonable. We will definitely be back when it is nicer out to sit outside. They have a variety of things on the menu, a pool table, shuffleboard table and electronic darts.“

“Decided to check this place out for karaoke while in town and, man, what a little gem this was! The owner and manager were so welcoming! The vibe was so positive and everyone seemed rather friendly! ✨️ We are in town for another week and we will be back!
Heads up: they are cash only!“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“Exceptional customer service and the entrees were superb. Our servers were both excellent, Andres and Vivian and their hunky manager, whose name we did not catch. The drinks were very well made, with nice presentation. My wife, Patricia, had a Coconut Mojito and I had two Lemon Martinis (well blended) refreshing and tasty. Order the Calamari as an appetizer. Our entrees were the salmon and the cheese steak. Everything was prepared with a Columbian flare! Ole! You and a culinary delight.“

“Never had a bad meal here !! Steamed clams and French onion soup are a must !“

“apps were good, service was even better. live atmosphere on a Friday evening to boot.“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Es la mejor ambiente de esta área se lo recomiendo“

“buenísimo full diversion“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“There's good bartender service. Nice vibe, nice music. The cost of drinks is fair. They're fed. This place appeals to me. Everyone is checked for your safety, including the security personnel, front and back bars, Djs on deck, sports on TV, and ATH. There are hookers on deck and a pleasant vibe.“

“It was first being back in Jersey in 13 years. Straight from my plane at midnight we went. I had so much fun the music, food with my family and friends. Coming back to party at People's Choice Lounge in the futue.“

“Great ambience Amazing karaoke Lots of games and pool tables It’s a fun time guaranteed“

“I'm from out of town so I was really excited to try some of the local food spots in this area and this place did not disappoint. There was a bit of a language barrier but the staff was very helpful and offered me a menu in English. I ordered the salmon and I also had the spare ribs to go. Listen..... the food was amazing the drinks are very good. The bartender very beautiful and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food. Good music . Overall a great experience. 5 star for sure“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“Good mix of craft beers…excellent bartenders and sports bar.“

“This was my first time at this local spot and I must say it was really cool. Down to earth crowd just all out to have a good time it was a cool vibe a lot of smiling faces .. the chicken wings were off the hook the drinks were good . It is the dive joint you want to check out for sure. They also sell take out. After a hard week at work you can go to this spot and chill among some very Down to earth folks . I don't need a fancy place to go, I need a good time place ! And I think I have found it . The hell with boogie !!! Let's all go to Mike's“

“Great place to eat, and to watch the sporting games!“

“Spot was a good vibe! The owner is very engaging with the customers and even works the bar when it gets busy!! The drinks are pricey but worth it $20 for a LIIT. The venue was clean and setup nice you can tell she keeps it up! The DJ was on point!!!“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem - no frills, I repeat, no frills type of place - Woods is your spot.Full disclosure: Nivea (the bartender) is my mom and has bartended alongside Tony and his wife (the owners) for more than 20 years. My mom loves the place so much, you can find her there on her off days. Tony is the man! One of a kind.The place is special - a perfect, dive bar with Portuguêse flair. Make sure you bring cash for the jukebox and pool table, and order an espresso with Sambuca.“

“Exactly what you would picture a great bar to be! The old classic rustic place with all the classic bottles and drinks as well as cute seasonal twist. Was there for the postseason baseball game and football games! Great choice of music today!“

“A great place to go to and have a good time and a cold beer“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“it was perfect my fiance took me the food was great the atmosphere was perfect the staff was great“

“Nothing for high demands. But somehow an iconic place. Sometimes the tone is a little rougher than what we know in Germany. But people know each other here and you feel comfortable. I don't want to eat here. So don't expect too much and enjoy your stayI'm happy if you like my review ?“

“Went today for my first time. Kimberly was my server and she was amazing. Can’t wait to go back. The food and service was great!“

“great music,staff,atmosphere.Have seen some great shows there.“

“The last time there was over 5years ago. Comfortable setting, clean and pleasant staff.“

“Been a long time since I had a beer with the Dillon boys and my Valley friends!“

“Only place to be for football (soccer). Atmosphere on match days is electric! Highly recommend for those into the game and looking for a great atmosphere. Good place to have a party as well. My 30th birthday party was there and it was blast!“

“Great music, great vibe, great people! Visited while in New Jersey for my birthday weekend. Ronnie, the lady tending the bar welcomed us like we were regulars. There was no drama of any kind, just people having a good time on a Friday night!
The kitchen was closed but we ordered food through DoorDash…
Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area!“

“Buddy's bar is a place where all are welcome. The owner Tom is a very nice and genuine guy and truly makes sure that every guest is attended to. As a small, local bar, there's a great sense of community as soon as you step in the door and it's a place where you can just hang out for hours, make friends, and enjoy good cheap drinks. I'd recommend for anyone looking for a place to grab some drinks with frienss in a laid back environment.“
