26 Best Sports Bars near Metuchen

“I recently attended an event here where we primarily stayed outside on the patio. The food served was great and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. The outside bar served our needs and we had a great time. The only issue is there is not enough parking but you can park next door in the corporate plaza with no issues. Thanks.“

“The vibe is amazing as soon as you walk in. Staff is friendly to the T. Food's worth what you pay for, 8/10 in taste. Me and my girl go for dinner, a quick session at the bar or something to go. Overall, I vouch for Johnny's. No pictures because I'll be back.“

“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.“

“Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch some NFL Playoff football. Bartenders were fast/friendly, drinks were cold/served perfect, and food was good. There are TV's everywhere, so there really isn't a bad seat. Great atmosphere, friendly crowd, with a sports bar look and feel. Plenty of parking and bathrooms are spotless. When in town again, we will definitely stop in.“

“Went to the Linwood while visiting family from out of state on a Friday night. I grew up in Linden so I was excited to see how the place has "grown up". Nicer bar, cleaner and comfortable sitting areas than my youth and MUCH better food. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. It was a descent portion and very tasty. My only complaint was the cost but that cannot be helped since the cost of everything has risen. However, $18 for a chicken sandwich seems a bit high.“

“Alexa and and Austin are amazing they make me come back they’re customer service and attentiveness is hard to find especially in a chain restaurant. I hope they get the recognition they deserve. KEEEP THEEEM FOREVEEEERR, the day they leave I leave and everyone I always bring with me lol.“

“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!“

“We go about every week to Miller’s Ale House in Watchung NJ!The staff is friendly, service is efficient, food and drinks are great and it’s a great place to watch any game!. I suggest heading over and getting the zingers and fish and chips. One of our faves!“

“Hi Colleen & Oh’ Brian Staff,Thank you for everything YOU personally did to go above and beyond to make today happen for our family’s celebration. The atmosphere, the positive energy, level of preparedness, attentiveness to our guests were all amazing. Arriving at Oh’Brian’s from a solemn service to warm, welcoming staff was really wonderful. As guests arrived, they were brought to our private seating area and offered beverages and drinks from the bar. As people were greeting and gathering and getting situated, it was clear, staff was attentive and present.As discussed having the buffet style, everything was set and organized.People raved about the Garden Salad; The hot food entrees were phenomenal and plentiful; our guests felt comfortable heading up to get another plate. None of our guest felt rushed at any time and were grateful for being asked for drink refills. The bar service/staff was fantastic. The timing of the desserts was perfect. Despite the drizzly, dreariness of the day, guests took advantage of the canopied outdoor seating area-which is also lovely.We realize a restaurant works as a team, and this team was fabulous. Again, thank you, Colleen, for your open communications, input/feedback, flexibility and sharing various options for alternate layouts for accommodations. Again, planning something like this, there’s a deeper appreciation of having staff immediately demonstrate sincere kindness and understanding. Our family is truly grateful for the entire staff’s professionalism throughout this event. We would recommend Oh’ Brian’s for any family gathering, work event, get-together or to meet up with friends for food & drinks at this great, local place.Vegetarian options: Wide selection of various salad entreesMultiple vegetables side dishesGreat selection of pasta dishes with multiple choices of meatless sauces (marinara, pink vodka, etc)Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options; dishes with meat could be prepared withoutSome Menu options are naturally gluten freeWide Variety of Salad ChoicesPlenty of pasta dishesPotatoes (not fried) gluten freeMeats- ask about specific marinades (some are gluten free)Chicken- can be grilled w/o marinade (GF)Parking: Gigantic, well lit, parking lot-Equipped with separate curb cuts with clear signage for entering and exiting the lotKid-friendliness: Kids’ menu/ relaxed environmentWheelchair accessibility: Many handicap parking spaces availableADA accessible rampNo stairs required to gain entry or entrance to dining areaRestrooms are also on the same main floor“

“I can’t say enough about Avellino’s hands down the best tasting pizza. We order ALL the time and it’s always delicious. Customer service is always exceptional. I recommend Avellino’s to anyone that is looking for fresh, tasty and delicious pizza!“

“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.“

“The bartender was also our waitress, being that we sat at the bar. She was extremely nice. She kept our orders on point, whether it was the drinks or the food. She was so good, I asked what days she worked to make sure that we would get her again.“

“Always a hometown feel going to the Pub. Friendly, inviting and a nice safe environment to drink. The bartenders truly bring a hometown feel to the bar. Grab a beer, try their Pub Sauce specialty wings and meet Val, Sylvia, and Chris they are FANTASTIC. Give it a shot on Tuesday nights for Bingo!“

“We had the fajitas and it was really really good , they were also nice enough to honor our 20% discount from Yelp once I checked in . They have a nice variety of beers and the menu looks good , maybe we will try some other items next time . Service was good , the only thing I didn't like much was the vibe in the place , that was a bit blah !“

“It's a shot and a beer baseball bar. They only have snacks. Family owned for over 40 years. Local watering hole. Good people.Vegetarian options: Hot pretzelsKid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Not great but doable through the back door.“

“Good atmosphere, variety of drinks for all tastes, as for the music it is good only that for my taste it should please all the clients even if the music is not to the DJ's taste (I am not referring to DJ Frank for the one 10, I'm talking about the other plumper guy.“

“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.“

“I can't say enough good things about Three In One! The food is absolutely FANTASTIC! I've eaten there 4 times just this week. The food is freah, flavorful and beautifully presented. The portions are generous enough to always have some to take home.Being a Type 2 diabetic, I've been delighted to discover that the cuisine here does NOT cause my blood sugar to skyrocket like most foods do.The restaurant is very clean and has an open and uncrowded feeling. The waiters are polite and attentive without being bothersome.I'm sure I'm going to return a LOT over the coming years! It's my new FAVORITE spot to eat in and take out.“

“This is my second time coming here first time was with the girls this time was with my boyfriend we were sitting by the bar we asked for a seat in the back they didn’t give it to us because of a big party coming but the party was in the front we could’ve sat in the back I had the birria pizza it was food but just to much cheese drinks 10/10 had the white tea shot and the humble mojito when server was great but I didn’t like how we was getting rushed to leave out it makes me just want to keep going to Johnny tequila and not here they are more welcoming and wouldn’t rush us outKid-friendliness: Was friday but didn’t like that we were being rushed out just for them to give our table to someone else we was only there for a hour when the hosts could’ve sat us in the back like I asked when we first came in the first time I came the hosts was very Friday and nice and welcoming“

“Clean establishment, easy to fine, well lite sports bar/restaurant. It's more of a burger joint, meeting friends type place. Good pricing, good value. Friendly staff and nice owner. The best value is the prime rib dinner night. Get there early for when ribs are gone. It's over til next week.“

“Atmosphere is like a Chuck e cheese but for adults! :) Arcade games you seek? Go to Dave and Busters! You want to win prizes? Go to Dave and Busters! You want delicious food?!?! Come to Dave and Busters! You won't be disappointed here ?“

“Ray made my experience at Applebee’s a 5 star visit with his quick service and knowledge of the menu he helped me to order the ribs which were really good im definitely gonna get them again I can’t wait to come back thank you Ray and staff“

“I was there for a wedding and the location was lovely and the food was surprisingly good. They had several stations during cocktail hour and the Latin and Chinese ones were better than what you'll get at most take out places. The rest of the food was good, but these were the standouts.“

“Excellent place to unwind,Have a drink and enjoy the company. Very nice clientele, amazing bartenders especially Amanda.. They have pool, lottery, Take out drinks, cigarettes, Stop in and check this place out I recommend stopping in for yourself.“

“Jennifer (Jennie) the bartender at bar is so quick, took orders and made sure it’s made as per expectations informing the cook, very amicable . She is very hardworking and she keep entire place clean. I noticed she cleaning all glasses, tables, even nozzles keeping it clean. And most importantly I liked the work ethic and professionalism. She is following up before beer is complete in glass, suggested good drinks and prompt to do-workers ….very much suggested this bar and and also if you get chance talk to her and yoj will be in good hands .. I am local and been to this place since 2017/2018 .“
