“Rahway High School Class of 2000 had our 25th reunion here. Everything was amazing. The atmosphere, the bartenders, the bouncers, the bar, great music, great food, just all around a great place to have an event like this. Can’t wait to go back. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“This has been my local spot that I've been coming to for about two years now. The drinks are always ice cold and vibes are tremendous. The live bands that perform on the weekends always sound great and add to the environment of what you'd expect from a dive bar. This bar is cash only, but not to worry as they have an ATM. Vanessa, Rachel, Ava, Nichole, Lexi, Alexa, and everyone else that works behind the bar always make you feel welcomed whether it's your first time here, or you're a longtime regular.“

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

“I was recently in New Jersey for a concert and staying at a hotel for a few nights. My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat nearby. We decided to go to this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever. The atmosphere was incredible. Everyone in there was so cool and the bartender was fantastic and very helpful. She recommended the Jack Daniels burger so we both went with it. When I tell you we both dreamed about this burger for our entire trip. We ended up going back to this place two more times. It was such a great local place with great people. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re ever in the area go there and get the Jack Daniels burger. Talk to the locals. Have a pint and enjoy the vibes. 5/5. 10/10. Incredible.“

“Good vibes , friendly staff“

“oh yeah! Harrisons newest hot spot“

“Great food. Tiny place and if you go late on certain days you may not get a table. Staff is hit or miss. One day I witnessed three young girls working there standing behind the bar talking to each other and on their phones rather then tending to the customers. I do have to give support to the one young lady who eventually had to run the whole place herself till someone came to cover the bar. They should always have more than one person working the main dining area. If you want a good bar pie come here.“

“Went for dinner on Friday with my boys. Stephanie was amazing. her recommendations for entrees was perfect. The timing and meals were great. Was a nice evening.“

“Walked in this weekend for the first time and the female bartender was super friendly and helpful! We just wanted to stop in for a quick app and a beer. We ordered the fries and 2 rounds of beers and the check was super reasonable. We will definitely be back when it is nicer out to sit outside. They have a variety of things on the menu, a pool table, shuffleboard table and electronic darts.“

“Good food. Very slow service. Need to get the TVs to work or at least hire staff that are able to change the channels on them.“

“Great time so wonderful 🥂“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“Es la mejor ambiente de esta área se lo recomiendo“

“Exceptional customer service and the entrees were superb. Our servers were both excellent, Andres and Vivian and their hunky manager, whose name we did not catch. The drinks were very well made, with nice presentation. My wife, Patricia, had a Coconut Mojito and I had two Lemon Martinis (well blended) refreshing and tasty. Order the Calamari as an appetizer. Our entrees were the salmon and the cheese steak. Everything was prepared with a Columbian flare! Ole! You and a culinary delight.“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Never had a bad meal here !! Steamed clams and French onion soup are a must !“

“buenísimo full diversion“

“There's good bartender service. Nice vibe, nice music. The cost of drinks is fair. They're fed. This place appeals to me. Everyone is checked for your safety, including the security personnel, front and back bars, Djs on deck, sports on TV, and ATH. There are hookers on deck and a pleasant vibe.“

“The food was decent — not bad, but a bit hit-or-miss depending on the dish. Still plenty of good options on the menu and everything was served fresh. Service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made sure we were taken care of throughout the visit.“

“It was first being back in Jersey in 13 years. Straight from my plane at midnight we went. I had so much fun the music, food with my family and friends. Coming back to party at People's Choice Lounge in the futue.“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“My friends haven't been out since their son was born 2 months ago and this was the perfect spot to go! Played a few rounds of shuffleboard (2 pool tables as well) put some money in the juke box, no kitchen but we got pizza delivered...all around good vibes :) FYI cash only $$$“

“Great place to eat, and to watch the sporting games!“

“it was perfect my fiance took me the food was great the atmosphere was perfect the staff was great“

“great music,staff,atmosphere.Have seen some great shows there.“

“This was my first time at this local spot and I must say it was really cool. Down to earth crowd just all out to have a good time it was a cool vibe a lot of smiling faces .. the chicken wings were off the hook the drinks were good . It is the dive joint you want to check out for sure. They also sell take out. After a hard week at work you can go to this spot and chill among some very Down to earth folks . I don't need a fancy place to go, I need a good time place ! And I think I have found it . The hell with boogie !!! Let's all go to Mike's“

“Spot was a good vibe! The owner is very engaging with the customers and even works the bar when it gets busy!! The drinks are pricey but worth it $20 for a LIIT. The venue was clean and setup nice you can tell she keeps it up! The DJ was on point!!!“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem - no frills, I repeat, no frills type of place - Woods is your spot.Full disclosure: Nivea (the bartender) is my mom and has bartended alongside Tony and his wife (the owners) for more than 20 years. My mom loves the place so much, you can find her there on her off days. Tony is the man! One of a kind.The place is special - a perfect, dive bar with Portuguêse flair. Make sure you bring cash for the jukebox and pool table, and order an espresso with Sambuca.“

“Such a welcoming and friendly spot“

“Exactly what you would picture a great bar to be! The old classic rustic place with all the classic bottles and drinks as well as cute seasonal twist. Was there for the postseason baseball game and football games! Great choice of music today!“

“The Corner is a good place to go with someone you want to get to know better. It's new wave decor should satisfy a variety of taste. Beautiful, independent, single people dancing are the icing on the cake. Wonderful place to go! 🙈🙉🙊“

“The last time there was over 5years ago. Comfortable setting, clean and pleasant staff.“

“Always feel welcome, friendly atmosphere. Drinks are reasonably priced. It truly is like the show Cheers you go to Buddy’s & Everyone knows your name.“

“Went today for my first time. Kimberly was my server and she was amazing. Can’t wait to go back. The food and service was great!“

“Todo buen ambiente buena comida y buen trato“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“A great place to go to and have a good time and a cold beer“

“Check out this place! Great food and drink specials.“

“Nagpuri Sahuji in Iselin, NJ, is a gem, renowned for its masterful saffron-infused Old Fashioned, an exquisite rarity. Their Puran Poli is exceptional, boasting a homemade taste with a generous filling and a thin, non-greasy cover. Not only is it authentically Sahuji, but it's also a haven for delicious food. Owners Neeraj and Swapna add a personal touch with their warm, down-to-earth hospitality. The ambiance and service are nothing short of five-star. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience“

“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. 😋“
