50 Best Bars near North Brunswick

“Always a good time at the North Brunswick Pub! Friendly bartenders. A good local place to frequent.“

“Food was absolutely delightful, and the service was superb. My party especially enjoyed the caring, loving service of our esteemed food runner Andrew Peter Visokay the third. However, we simply cannot rate this fine establishment a review because Andrew Peter was not with us the entire team! The restaurant was simply too busy for this wonderful customer service employee to care for us to the best of his ability, leading to this four star review.“

“Great spot for a drink, good food, and conversation“

“Haven't set foot inside Docks since 2004 for no other reason than it's a little out of the way from home and I'm not much of a drinker. I've been working in the area again for about a year and wanted to find a local spot to go with some coworkers and figured since it was close, why not try Docks. I happened across a picture of one of their burgers and had to try one since having my gallbladder removed and being able to once again enjoy the occasional bacon cheeseburger. Stopped there tonight with a coworker, got the Houston Burger and let me tell you... it was incredible. Burger was well seasoned and juicy (even though I always order well done) and the bacon was top quality. The prices were fantastic and my coworker said they had one of the best Guinness draughts he's had in a long time. Definitely see it turning into a to-do after work more often.“

“Always amazing food!! And great staff!! French dip is my recommendation!“

“Excellent local family owned pub - great vibes, awesome bartenders, fun customers, and great food - must try their wings! 🍻 cheers“

“Zupko’s Tavern is a great local spot with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The food is always tasty—especially their wings and burgers—and the portions are generous. The drinks are well-priced, and the bartenders know how to make you feel right at home. It’s the perfect place to catch a game, grab a meal with friends, or just relax after a long day. Definitely one of my go-to taverns in the area! 🍻“

“Posted up in the center of the pub. Me and these two mad lads started drilling. Ice was about 4 inches and ol' Stout was struggling to breach through the ice. After a few minutes of turmoil he was finally able to break and we heard the glorious rush of the water gushing like a foutian out of the portal to the dark unknown. We stood there conquistadors above a murky gold; fish. We set our thrones upon the ice and readied our rods. Our mouths watering at the thought of the first fish. With bait and hand a glee in our hearts we awaited the first bite. But folks, as everyone knows, fishing isn't about the catch nor the side of the fish. But it's the spot and the friends we make along the way. We caught no fish, not even ol' Stout. But we had a splendid time, and like the conquistadors of old we left with nothing. Oh yea and there's uhh ... darts in the back or something.“

“The night before my wife's 50th high school reunion (North Plainfield, class of 1975), a large group of the attendees went to a pre-party at Ellery's. The pizza served here was pretty good, but it was a little greasy. Besides plain, they offered sausage and a few other styles. The restaurant also served wings and salad, which I passed on. The get together ended with a great selection of fancy cookies, where I really over-indulged.“

“If soccer is your sport of choice, then you’re in the right place! Good prices, friendly atmosphere and staff!“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar is first class! Not only is the seafood fantastic, but the dry aged steaks and cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommend“

“It's a local bar that does not have food but has reseaonable priced drinks for a local bar. It has a pool table, they sell lotto, and packaged beer.The bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the bar tends to have themed nights/special nights.If you like a good dive bar, "Dive" right in.CASH ONLY“

“I went there for the first time for karaoke and had a great time. The bartenders were very friendly and fast. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries. It was delicious. The prices were great I will definitely be going there again. Came back with my friend it really is a great place to chill and sing karaoke lol I had wings with fries today. Was really good and the wings are meaty some places the wings are mostly bone here they are meaty and great. I went there again and had the buffalo chicken wing omg it was amazing truly a must try.“

“Very inviting atmosphere. Lucas the nanager always is eager too make sure myself and guests are having a great experience. The staff is second to none. Lee the bartender is fat friendly and I'm tip if everything his knowledge is great. The rest of the staff is always excellent and friendly“

“Bartender is extremely nice.. her name is Eliii The only problem is that factor that the manager is watching her as she do her job. I don’t know how to fell comfortable about it. She can’t feel her self.Elliie is an extremely outing person. And she should deserved a better position and saltire“

“I recently visited the District 7 Restaurant & Bar and had an amazing experience. The BBQ chicken wings at the bar were delicious. What stood out the most was the exceptional service provided by Edei, who made the best Old Fashioned cocktails in New Jersey. Highly recommend this place for a great experience!“

“I've been going to the South River Pub for many many years and I used to bartend there as well. It's my hometown bar and I love it. My mom knew the owners and i grew up with their kids and they have become like family. I particularly love karaoke night on Fridays with DJ Rob, who has become a dear friend to me over the years as well. The regulars are fun, kind and caring people and when I go there it feels like family. Like “Cheers.” They don't serve food but you can bring your own if you like. Sometimes for special events and football, Lil will make a little food buffet for the customers. It's always a fun time.“

“Great place to go out dancing, Friendly Bartenders! and Amazing food“

“We got the Bratwurst at the New Brunswick Oktoberfest. Best I ever had and I've been going to them all over the tristate area for 25 years.“

“Homemade pasta and wood fired pizza.“

“nice“

“Great Atmosphere ! Great Music! Redesigned Bar look amazing! Rock concerts once every month what's not to love about this place. Beers selections are great and fair prices and most of all the people who work here are always so nice. The owner is so nice !!“

“Came here with my girlfriend, I wouldn't say it was exactly welcoming at first. It's a local old school type of bar. Well know in the neighborhood. They do sell food but like any local bar that does you have to catch them at the moment everyone is ordering because its literally one person behind the bar. Prices are good and if you want to chat over some games and a drink this is the spot. Reminds me of the Alibi from shameless.“

“Olio is a very luxurious hotel had with five stars because he has everything else who has four kids the lobbies really nice the prices are fair their rooms are really really need the stuff is awesome so you pay what you get and definitely I will commend you for family friends for pleasure or business excellent keep it up I recommended you guys are everywhere“

“Excelente buen trato y un servicio de cache“

“It was my first time there and the whole place was packed. If you are a dancer, do come here. If you like to drink, do come here. If you like to sit down and watch people, do come here. The 3 dollar water bottle is up for discussion but overall this place will make you feel like dancing.“

“It's always a party at the Golden Rail! Karaoke on Wednesday and Sunday nights are standout selections.“

“My first time going was today for the start of restaurant week to celebrate a friends birthday. Although there was only one woman working the bar and trying to take care of tables alone (she was very pleasant and was doing her best) I still enjoyed my time there. I must say the special three course meal was outstanding for restaurant week. The roasted pear and arugula flatbread was outstanding and should be added to the regular menu. The entree was great and the crème brûlée dessert was exceptional. Chef Shannon came out to talk to us as we were the first customers for restaurant week to try the special menu items. He created the dishes and we let him know everything was delicious. My only complaint was they needed more staff on hand to be able to keep up with the amount of patrons.Someone finally came to assist the young lady who was working alone but she could have used two additional people when they opened. will prolly b bck again before the week is over for the special before it’s off the menu.“
