14 Best Sports Bars near Matawan

“MJ's is great place to go for happy hour. It's also not to be missed during the summer. Their outdoor dining setup is absolutely amazing. Right on the lake, they have plenty of outdoor seating and the background is so nice! The food in and of itself is pretty basic. This is not where the foodies and 5 star eaters go. However, for a nice lunch or happy hour drinks, this place does the trick! Typical bar food, some sushi options and sugary cocktails. The service is always decent and the place is huge so the waits are never very long. They also have banquet halls so you will often see weddings, private parties etc which can be nice if you like to people watch. They also have a DJ on weekend nights which can be nice but annoying if you are just coming for dinner. Not a date spot, but a great spot for a casual hang.“

“Tons of wing flavors, I haven’t tried ALL of them, but I plan to. The wings them self are meaty, and cook crispy. I LOVE that. Pricing is regular, drinks are so good! The service was ON POINT and I can’t wait to come back and try more win flavors!“

“Great place to grab a bite, drink and watch a game. The walls are lined with TVs and they'll turn just about anything on for you. They have a great selection of tap beers and specialty cocktails. And they have a nice selection of bar food which is very good. Worth the time to hang out with friends and cheer on your favorite team.“

“Come here quite often for alcohol, they have a great selection for a small spot. Recently, I finally went there for a meal and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Staff was pleasant and quick with service. The only issue is the place is rather small and tables are limited.“

“KEANSBURG: Brie checked out Grin Brewing and leashed dogs are allowed at their beautiful indoor tasting room and back outdoor deck! There are a nice variety of beers, including a lot of lighter options which Brie's pawrents enjoy! You may also BYO food! The Mutt Market sells their pet treats, so your dog can munch on something with you. Check out Grin's social media for trivia nights, food drives, toys for tots, and other events. Their location is great because just a few feet away out back is the Henry Hudson Trail, a nice path to walk your doggy!“

“I really like this spot. I’m a long haul trucker, and I come here specifically for one bartender, because she’s so welcoming, kind, attentive, and helpful. She came outside to get me while I was smoking because she didn’t want my food to get cold! Now that’s good service! Truly good at what she does. Also doesn’t hurt that she’s very easy in the eyes. Will definitely be back! Sky you’re awesome!Parking: Can park a semi in the lot next door. Most don’t care, but my OTR people do.“

“I’m not even done eating and I have to post a review. The food is amazing, cooked like a high end restaurant. The staff are extremely nice and very attentive. I had the Fiesta Burger, medium rare and it was cooked PERFECT. This place is a staple.“

“I came here for some bar food on Sat night cause I was hungry and the other bar I was at was just too busy to find a seat and eat. Boneless wings were great and priced under $10, but domestic drafts were a little expensive at $5. The bar was very slow for a Sat night and someone was playing terrible rap music on the jukebox. Food and service were great, but music was bad.“

“Literally my favorite place in town. A basic bar with well priced drinks, great bartenders, and a great customer base. The regulars are a welcoming lot and Bingo Fridays are fun! Beer pong, a dart board and a touch tunes juke keep the vibe up. Whether you just want a simple drink at the bar or an epic night of fun you're gonna find it at Smith's!“

“I love the food. Everything I've had has been awesome.. there Calamari is awesome.. and if you like loaded fries try them here. You will be okay.

It is in Colts Neck so be prepared for some price differences but this place is awesome.Parking: On the left and right if establishment, handicap parking available“

“Apple Jacks is great. The owner John fixed me and hubby up back in 1987. The bar is really fun and they don't only have parties they have parties for the kids to. When my kids were little they had a big party and put a jumping blow up thing in the parking lot for the kids and they also got Ralph the other owner dress up as Santa Clause and have the kids sit on his lap and get presents.“
