46 Best Bars near Oceanport

“We had a marriage celebration luncheon at Blu Grotto this September and it was fantastic. Our guests could not say enough about how delicious the food was, how pretty the venue was, and what a great time they had. Guila made the day really special and it was a pure delight to work with her. The servers were professional and fun and everything was done to perfection. If I had to do it all over again, I would still pick Blu Grotto!! Thank you Guila, Chef James, and the delightful servers and bartenders.“

“awesome band staging grounds. Great music.“

“Food here was solid. Everything we had was good. Cocktails were decent, but a bit too sweet IMO, but if that's your jam, that's good. Maybe it's true Bourbon St vibes. I probably would go somewhere else rather than return here, but it's not bad.“

“Go here a bit for the happy hours. Drink and food specials are fine. Service is good. Would be nice to have a $10 salad on the menu and the choice of fries vs. potato chips with the mini burgers.“

“I love buffalo chicken sandwiches and have gone as far as Philadelphia to get one. However, I recently tried a buffalo chicken sandwich at Nicholas. I was speechless…literally. My brain instantly went into survival mode trying to calculate how and why this sandwich was at least ten times better than any other buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Not even a close second place. Game changing. Life changing. It’s like I knew nothing about buffalo chicken a moment before taking a bite. I was humbled instantly. Nicholas Barrel and Roost found the cheat code!“

“On an ordinary day, we go here for beers and a burger with cottage fries and always have the best time. I have to mention this weekend specifically though because we had our wedding after party here. The owner, Kevin, is truly one of the nicest people and always provides service with a genuine smile. He is courteous and made all of our family and friends feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our evening. Even in the busiest moments, Kevin and staff managed to be accommodating and attentive. Cannot say enough enough about this place, the family and the staff. Wonderful!“

“Visiting from out of town and stopped by based on other reviews. This place did not disappoint! Great food and drinks. Bartenders and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“When reviewing their menu, we saw Birria Tacos and were immediately committed. Upon arrival we were a little alarmed that there was nobody in the restaurant! There are 2 other attached venues by same owners which had customers. But the lack of patrons was a bit of a red flag.

Our service started out with our server, Austin, telling us the drinks we wanted from the on-line menu were no longer available. But they tried to make a smoked cocktail for us first and realized they were out of smoker chips. Our large party of 8 mostly ordered Margaritas, which were decent and discounted on Tuesdays.

We ordered food including Nachos, Quacamole, Quesabirria and Birria tacos, as well as fish tacos and al pastor. The food was fresh and excellent!

We had a visit from an owner/manager as well as the chef. The staff helped us get the Phillies game on the table-side TV.

Overall, the highlight of the night was definitely the Birria, whose consommé was rich, flavorful and not greasy like some. Also the cheese level on the tacos was perfect, the meat was tender and flavorful and the fresh cilantro really made it all pop.

The second best feature of our visit was definitely the service.

My phone battery died before I could get pics of food, but the space is cool.

Highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: Nachos, Fish Tacos for pescatarians, vegetarian tacos too.“

“I ate here but didn't stay here. I don't know if they have lodging or if they had lodging ages ago. Nice pub with a menu better than what you would expect for a pub and tasty. No 5 star restaurant, but when looking for pub food with a TV in view regardless of where you are seated, this is the place.“

“SEA BRIGHT: Driftwood Tiki Bar is such a special dog friendly spot and is open to the public typically from October through before Memorial Day weekend and leashed and friendly dogs are allowed! (In the summer, it is only for members of the Driftwood Cabana Club.)

The tiki bar is an enclosed building with temperature controls and oceanfront views! There is also outdoor seating on the deck. They offer a food menu and a full bar, and will bring a doggie bowl out if you need one! Take a stroll on the private beach with your pup and just have a chill day watching the game on their TVs.“

“you dads famous pizza💖 not to mention ur dads award winning personify 🥰🧡“

“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used“

“I just had the best Cheeseburger that ever had at the Bond Street Bar and Grill that is tucked away and almost hidden on 208 Bond Street in Asbury Park, NJ. The It is a small bar and grill with a dark almost mystical ambiance on a small one-way street. The bar has a warm and welcoming personality featuring great food, good vibes, friendly staff all in an inviting space of a classic pub atmosphere.“

“Nice place for friends, cousins, colleague or anyone to hang out with. It has got one of best sunset view with water.

Price & Food + Beverage :-
I had not ordered anything so I don’t know about this. I was just there with them on last minute and I was full already.

Ambience :-
It was so amazing. The water view makes it more beautiful. Also there was live singing by the band, if you like it. And they played national song at time of sunset.

Restrooms :-
It was quite clean. Only thing is they’ve sensor light and it might turn off while you’re inside. So careful of that.

Our server was so nice with us and made sure we’re attended whenever we need to make any order. She was very helpful and nice.

Tips :-
It’s more beautiful if you go 1 hour before sunset. You can also take amazing pictures and videos there.

Parking: I was told they’ve both - free and paid parking. But we parked on paid. They charged around $2.5 per hour (don’t remember the exact amount)“
