17 Best Cocktail Bars near Old Bridge

“It was a very busy night but we were able to be seated right away. The waitress was very friendly and realized we were celebrating Ramadan; she made us aware if there was pork in any of the food we were ordering and asked if we would like to customize our choices, if possible.The food was very good and each person who brought anything to our table was very courteous. There were just two moments of not being able to eat while waiting for grated cheese & and for someone so we could ask for salt.We were asked when the food was brought out if we would like grated cheese; but they never came back. The hostess noticed as soon as we started looking around and came over to see if we needed something. She brought grated cheese instantly.We wanted a little salt on the salad, but there was none on the table, and it took a bit before I was able to ask for it.Being it was busy, we assumed they were busy or got distracted.All and all... for as busy as it was, the two moments were not as bad as it could have been and definitely worth choosing to eat there.Highly recommend“

“It was our second time there. The food is very fresh and authentic. Many traditional Italian dishes that are well prepared and presented. I had the seafood stew special which was excellent. It was $42 a little pricey but worth it. My wife had the eggplant Parmesan. It was excellent. We tried out the Jersey shore pizza. We thought it was very good.  Service was excellent. We have tried many different Italian restaurants and would definitely go back.“

“Service was excellent. Food was very good. But some things could be changed. For instance, serving French fries and potato chips with steak cheapens the meal. There were no form of green vegetables in the dinners. Vegetable consisted of some 4 or five dots of purried something and a few tiny cubes of maybe parsnips. Restaurant can't be contacted via phone, only internet. Big problem. Sometimes a customer needs to contact restaurant to speak to someone directly and guickly.. But this is impossible. Overall food was excellent and facility was nicely set up and very appealing looking.“

“I recently had the pleasure of attending a Networking & Fundraiser Event at 3BR Distillery, hosted by the wonderful Jackie Berman of LegalShield. Free street parking was right outside, so I lucked out. The spacious venue offers the perfect setting for large networking gatherings and business events.As I walked in, I couldn't help but notice the expansive bar stretching across the room, accompanied by a tantalizing array of cocktails. Vibes of the venue were lively and spacious, with a touch of Russian decor, carpets adorning the walls, and a mixture of comfy seats and lounge chairs tied into their industrious bar and dark walls. At the event, a team from Boombox USA brought their very entertaining portable boombox, blasting music to keep the chill vibes going throughout the night.The bar at 3BR has an innovative take on using QR Codes that line the bar to quickly place orders from your phone that get delivered right at your seat. I opted for Baba's Smoking Pipe, their Viski bourbon style take on an old fashion, with orange & wood bitters. I'd say it was a light cocktail, served with a big cube and orange peel, not too heavy on any one flavor note.Will certainly keep them in mind for more mixers and hope to see what other types of events they host. Could certainly see myself visiting for some local bands at a venue like this.“

“Bovine is the place to be in Jamesburg. We love their events nights like family feud, trivia, and live music because it's the kind of place you can sit down and feel welcome by the staff and people around you, especially at the bar and ESPECIALLY when the manager Kyle is on. I recommend this place wholeheartedly to everyone, whether they live near or far. If I had to recommend anything (I've been here a bunch) I'd say try out the Jamesburger and Oreodough milkshake. And if you're feeling wild, get an alcoholic Nutter Udder Shake or Diablo margarita (spicy!).“

“This little bar is great for dinner, drinks with friends, taco Tuesday, drinks on the porch when the weather is nice or just a random drink after work. The place is beautiful inside, and the food is delicious. I have yet to meet a staff member who is rude, inattentive or unkind in anyway. We will definitely be coming back for a long time.“

“I had so much fun at Meximodo. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was live, and the service was awesome. Our waitress was Michaela, who was nice, friendly, and did a great job checking in with us throughout the night. Definitely recommend going here!“

“Although we have never dined in the restaurant, we have been to several private parties and just love the way they do things. Family style appetizers, pasta, salad and great choices. This last time we had steak, which we were apprehensive about but even that was tender and cooked perfectly.Parking: Plenty and easily accessible“

“Cozy little Italian restaurant. Authentic Italian music plays over the speakers which sets a nice vibe. They immediately bring out hot, crispy Italian bread and seasoned olive oil...which is always a nice touch. Food was brought out timely and was delicious. Service was excellent. Overall a great experience. I would have given 5 stars except that the food is a tad expensive.“

“Excellent restaurant! Small but very inviting. The menu is eclectic yet down to earth. Daily specials are available. We had the baked clams spl as well as Rosalies salad. For entree, we had the veal piccata and the filet of sole. Dessert was the homemade cheese cake! Utterly delicious.“

“First time at Clyz since new ownership. Was a St. Patty's Day work celebration so no ordering from regular menu but rather a buffet setup with about 7 different dishes. Food was good. Service was great from waitress coming around for drink orders. They had orange whiskey for my fav orange whiskey mule! I and the coworkers I spoke to would have preferred not having the lights dimmed as it was way too dark and there was no need for such "mood" lighting.“

“Went to Osfizio last weekend and it was great! The food was so good, the waiter, and all the staff were so nice and polite. There were food options for everyone. Willie was our waiter and he went above and beyond for our table. Will definitely be returning! 10/10“

“Spent $500 dollars here eating and drinking. What a great time! The owner is so personable and welcoming. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is elegant. Love this place! Mango mojito is a must try! We tasted so many appetizers that were beyond delicious.“

“Love coming here! However yesterday’s lemon actually was not made correctly and way too sweet and the Lemon grass was missing. I had brought friends there for first time and recommended the drink which no one liked. Very disappointed.In addition wanted to buy a few bottles of bourbon cream for Christmas gifts, which is awesome, and they were out of it? Left to go to Colts Neck pub up the road and got a better well made drink.“

“The wait was long, but what do you expect on a Friday. Especially with no reservations. It was amazing. The sushi rolls, Christmas, shrimp tempura and Hawaii were delicious. The Asian ribs on the appetizer menu. Amazing. Everything we had on the appetizer menu was done. We were full and then ordered some sushi. The drinks were strong. But they adjusted it to our liking. I'll server was great and the bartender was amazing.“

“Expensive, but you get what you pay for. This place is a great date atmosphere! The menu is large and diverse options are available, including the Stage left steakhouse portion. The Buratta appetizer was by far the best buratta I have had to date. Drinks were good and reasonably strong, proportionate to the price. Will definitely be back!“

“Great friendly staff. Tacos were great and flavorful. Close to the best I’ve ever had. Great spot for dinner. Not too busy at all and service was fast and the atmosphere is unique. I really liked the guacamole as it had the right amount of kick. Mac and cheese was wonderful. Would recommend this place and we will be coming back soon.“
