“Originally a blacksmith shop and inn before turning into a tavern with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. I may have been thrown out of here, several times. This bar is proudly #14 on NJ.com's Best Dive Bars list. I really like this place, wish it was closer to home. We used to find it by the giant satellite dish they had outside. I once tried to kiss a girl who worked here. She was so horrified she ran into the street. "Nooo..." Good times. Recently renovated before Covid. Bar top is lacquered plywood with a knotty pine fascia and walls. No foot rail but the floor is burnished (scorched) plywood. Stools are metal frame backed with cushion seats. Open 11AM to 2AM. Package goods available. Allegedly, there's a prison style two seater bathroom, sans privacy screen. More local history at keenbug.blogspot.comEvidence of billiards and electronic darts. Unused fireplace and hearth. They should should throw the Mp3 juke in the fire. Outside pen for smokers & dining al fresco. I'm told they have better food. I've seen the new menu and it looks like standard bar fare with a few salads thrown in to confuse you. Still, I miss it so...keenbug.blogspot.com/202…“

“Excelent neighborhood bar! Most bars in the area have mediocre or bad food. This place is different. They care about what they serve. Wings and bar pies are outstanding and home made specials. Bar tenders are fast and attentive and atmosphere is friendly. 5 stars for a fantastic spot!“

“Some employees call my parents mom and dad and occasionally used my parents house for party mischief while I would be at home. A couple employees one that became a ecdysiast and the other her age use to overnight housesit back in 2015-16 on Mayflower for a gentleman while the whole family was home as a occasional live in. Other then that it's a terrific dinning facility and a family friendly atmosphere. Sometimes employees get put under pressure and get caught up in a enchanting moment or moment of glory. That's because they are enabled to be incorrigible idolatry narcissist to be better then some. This may cause a slight mood but it is a truly great place with great people.“

“First time last night, and I wish I had gotten the bar tender's name to mention, but she was a doll! There was a $7 Quesadilla special, so we got a chicken quesadilla. It was delicious and an excellent value. We were with friends, and I tried a boneless wing, and they were also yummy. We took a sandwich and Ranchero fries to go, and they were still hot and delicious when we got home about forty minutes later.The chicken in the quesadilla was like steak sandwich style chicken, but it was juicy and flavorful. Overall, very standard bar food prepared well ?“

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.“

The food, the artisanal bread basket the delicious elegantly plated entrées, the dessert was so beautiful and delicious. The cake was made exactly as my inspiration photos. The ambience of the live jazz band playing in the background was superb! If you looking to book your next event and impress your guests don’t look no further.

“33's Tavern has slammin’ tacos and great wings! I’ve had the fish tacos multiple times before and they never disappoint. Today was the first time we got wings and they were big and juicy! My husband got the steak tacos and they were also scrumptious! They are located right on Old Bridge Turnpike! (There is one wing missing that was consumed before I thought about sharing this gem!) 33’s is a bar, but you can totally go in and eat and/or grab takeout! Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! ??“

Many craft beers on tap and they offer flights. There are tvs in the bar area for sports and a space for live music. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant never had an issue finding a spot.

“This was surely an unknown treasure . I really thought it was a regular bottle shop , but boooooom, there was a decent sized bar inside .: and what’s even better is they have taps with Stella and few other beers . Amazing place …Service was so good. The waitress had all smiles on her and served patiently . Loved Stella draft .. they have some TVs to watch and drink. Price was awesome too. Just about 4.50 for a Stella . Regular bars charge 6-8 $ . Everything amazing but why still a 4 ⭐️ ? I didn’t see any food menu. Not sure if they serve food. I know it’s not a full fledged bar/restaurant but some food will help.Overall an amazing experience…“

“Certainly a mouthful, Garden State Bar + Ryders Lane Wine & Spirits in Milltown, is the definition of a hidden gem, offering a very cozy and laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. The bar boasts a simple yet diverse menu, featuring options like wings, flatbreads, comfort foods, hummus platters, tex-mex, burgers, and Mama's special selection that has bhel, thepla, and plenty of tandoori style options. I opted for the Tandoori Masala Sauce Chicken Wings, a unique and flavorful choice, paired with a refreshing Miller Lite.What sets this place apart is its rare combination of serving Chaat-style Indian foods alongside alcoholic beverages. It's a distinctive offering that you won't easily find elsewhere, especially in New Jersey. While not a large venue, it's an ideal spot for a few friends to enjoy affordable drinks, catch a sports game, or grab a quick lunch in the Milltown area.Garden State Bar stands out as a welcoming local watering hole, providing a relaxed, well priced, and friendly environment for its patrons.“

We had a few apps that were huge and a good drink. The vibe was fun and lively. All the staff were friendly, as well as the customers we interacted with. it was a lot nicer than I anticipated and the back area looks like it will be amazing when it gets warmer. I'm definitely going back.“
