Went here early on a Saturday night, place was empty which was cool because we just wanted to relax, bartender (Collin or Connor, sorry bud) was friendly, and bar atmosphere seemed like it could be fun when it gets busy, especially with a band or event happening. Tried to order some food but was told that the owner/cook went to get cigs or something and would be back in 10 mins (bartender said it would be more, 10 mins is not really 10 mins), waited over an hour and she never came back, even the bartender was worried so I hope she is ok. We left because we were starving, too bad tho, the bartender talked up the food and I was really looking forward to a cheese steak. Anyway, hopefully we can come back sometime and have some food.

I only come here for events. Having said that, the parking is absolutely terrible. There is nowhere close to park if the lot is full. The bathrooms are also outdated. There is no AC in the building so when there are a lot of people crammed into one space it gets hot. They allow smoking right outside the entrance which blows into the building every time the door opens. The lady who runs the place is nice. Never tried their food or drinks so can’t comment on that.

What a horrible bartender this business has! As soon as we sat down, this bartender gave us an attitude because we had a box with pastries that was for one of my friends to take home. He kept telling us don’t open it or I have to throw you out. I said I brought the pastries for my friends. We’re not eating them here. Then he proceeded to serve us drinks that were made improperly. It is not hard to make a sex on the beach. The glass were basically clear. I said to the guy these aren’t made properly. They’re supposed to have cranberry and other stuff in them. He immediately got an attitude. I said to him once instead of giving us an attitude, why don’t you ask us? What would you’d like to add to our drinks? He gave us more of an attitude, and I said, why are you being such a dick and at that point he told us that he would no longer be serving us. I had given him the money for our drinks so I said give my freaking money back since you can’t make a drink properly. We went outside to catch our Ubers, and we were bombarded by people that the bartender sent outside to harass us. Calling us all kinds of expletive and disgusting words for women. I have it on video.

What a horrible place This is. We went there at the recommendation of a person. We got there ordered our drinks. The drinks were made completely wrong, and when the bartender was questioned, he immediately had an attitude. He didn’t know how to make a very BASIC drink. WHEN WE ASKED FOR INGREDIENTS TO BE ADDED TO OUR DRINKS, HE IMMEDIATELY HAD AN ATTITUDE AT WHICH POINT I ADDRESSED HIS ATTITUDE WITH A SIMILAR ATTITUDE. He didn’t like that so he told us to leave. This was after I paid him for our four drinks. I said yeah, I’ll leave when you give us our money back for our four drinks. Then we were met with disgusting people in the parking lot sent by the bartender to harass us while we were waiting for our uber. Seriously, this place isn’t absolute trash disgusting delinquent place. I would never recommend anybody going there that is a civilized human being

The guy behind the bar was aces and the beer was cold. The place was empty, but I had come in because I saw they had a shuffleboard table... this is the worst shuffleboard table in NJ. No sand allowed, bc the regulars were being hilarious apparently, so instead, they slapped a coat of lacquer on it and called it polished. As an enthusiast, I was exterminate disappointed. However, there are a few other positive things I should point out here... they host midget wrestling.
I'll update my review after attending to make sure they keep it classy.

Just left a brewery and wanted to play pool. Came with a friend of mine. Large bar with a big drink menu. One pool table, shuffle board, quite a few tvs, decent music and a stage. Nice vibe. Love the large lot has been hard to find parking in other places. Surprised it was dead when we came.
