20 Best Bar & Grill near Sea Bright

“Food and service was very good. Would recommend Tommy's to all.“

“Casual Bayside eatery. Food good generally. Apps pretzel and Caesar salad favorites. Steak sandwich flavor good but some pieces of steak tough and chewy. Shrimp with Linguini excellent, spicy pepperoni pizza very good. Burger solid choice. We didn't have cocktails but many people around us were drinking.“

“It was Awesome! Best Branzino fish I ever had in NJ, the Riesling wine was also good, dessert was excellent and the staff was delightful and attentive, great job guys I give you 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“First time tonight. Service and Food great. can't wait to come back.“

“It’s a great beach bar w/ friendly folks, good food & cold draft beer!“

“My first time here. Loved it. The food was delicious! Felt like I immediately was in a neighborhood restaurant. And the prices weren’t over the top. Very reasonable.“

“Came with friends to Portside to surprise my friend, Michael Cappetto, who was performing that night. Was never here before but I have to say the food was awesome, as was the entertainment! Michael is an amazing singer / guitarist and I highly suggest going to Portside to see him and have some fantastic food!“

“My husband recently hosted a bunch of old college buddies and their wives for our wedding! Since about 25 of them were visiting the Shore area for the first time, he wanted to make sure they experienced all the sights and sounds Monmouth County has to offer. Normally, finding something fun (and legal) for a large group of out-of-towners to do after midnight is a challenge—but not in Rumson! He took the whole crew to Murphy’s Tavern with the promise that they’d get a taste of a local legend: a good old-fashioned speakeasy tucked away in the basement of a house, right in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Needless to say, they had a blast! Whether you’re kicking off a weekend wedding celebration or just grabbing a late-night drink, we highly recommend popping into Murphy’s Tavern.“

“We went to Brickhouse today and had Brooke as our waitress she was awesome! We had the chili nachos and pretzel for appetizers they were huge and really good! The beer is always ice cold and no matter what you order the food is always great especially the cheesesteak! Highly recommend brickhouse in Neptune Nj“

“It has a nice pool and shower stalls too“

“Casual, welcoming vibe. Good food, drinks and Bartenders!“

“First visit to Route 35 Bar & Liquor in Ocean Township. They're located at 1107 Highway 35, across from Wegman's, and opened in August, 2025. They are open 7 days a week, from 10AM-11PM. I had seen an Instagram review of the place, liked how the food looked, and it did not disappoint.

They're a full-service liquor store with a medium-size sports bar inside (that seats about 30, I think), and a nice, compact food menu, featuring appetizers, burgers, wings, bar pizza, and more. The place is staffed with very friendly, attentive bartenders/servers, and serves some excellent food.

Pictured: their All-American burger, an 8-ounce juicy patty packed with flavor, served with bacon, pickles, lettuce, American cheese, and tomatoes. The tomatoes surprised me for how flavorful and juicy they were this early in the year. Choice of crinkle-cut or straight-cut fries, all for $12. They also offer an 8-ounce smashburger at the same price.

Their wings are large, and very juicy. The ones shown were coated in a sticky, sweet, delicious chili sauce. Three wetnaps/multiple napkins needed to keep clean along the way. 6 wings for $9, or 12 for $15.

They have a beef or chicken cheesesteak sub, and shown here is the version with shaved chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and American cheese, on a sub roll with a soft crust that has a nice chew to it. Very nice mix of flavors, and it's very filling, without being messy. Either version is $12, and is served with fries. (The fries shown with both orders were requested to be 'well-done'.)

The food is terrific, their prices are very reasonable, and I look forward to going back.“

“Crashed a private event and it was just my style. Might be stuffy in comparison to the bar around the corner, but otherwise seems like first class classical music and comfy couches for a celebratory drink. Can't comment on the food.

Bartender was nice about walking in to the event.“

“A great place to dine, dance, listen to live music and meet people. Jamian and his staff go all out to deliver top notch service. The drinks and food selection is crafted to please everyone and it never disappoints. We always have a good time at Jamian's!“

“We had our daughter Brittany's bridal shower here! Absolutely fabulous., from the service to the view to the food ! Highly recommend them . Very accommodating so lovely to work with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Came here twice so far both times was amazing. Service was great food was great. Nice atmosphere decor is great it’s a great hidden gem.“

“my husband and I have been coming to mjs for years whether it's for a lunch date or dinner with our kids MJS never disappoints. the food is always on point, no matter what we get it is always delicious. a few top favorites chicken Italiano sandwich, their homemade thousand island dressing for salads is out of this world, french dip is the best i've ever had. ahi tuna app to dye for! if ur lucky enough to get Emma as your server or Bartender you will not be disappointed she is always so personable attentive knows the menu really well and makes a mean expresso martini! she treats our kids like gold and keeps them entertained. Mjs is a well oiled machine run by the best manager I've ever seen. Dyan's attention to detail and making the place feel so welcoming and having everything that comes out of the kitchen on point she makes sure the servers and bartenders are very well trained. if she's there working she is always there greeting the guests and helping the staff make sure every guest has an amazing experience.She will also help you throw a sweet party and works with you to keep the price within your budget while giving you the best bang for your buck. she does an amazing job transforming the dining area into a great party space. I've had my son's christening, baby shower, birthday parties here in the dining room each time Dyan has gone above and beyond making sure everything was perfect. whether you are considering having a party or going to dinner or lunch do not pass MJS in Middletown up you will not regret it. & if you want a fun night out- Monday night bingo is always a hit or looking for something to do during NFL Sunday game day head to mjs it is an amazing atmosphere and great specials!“

“We were there yesterday with a large party and had a great time watching the games. We sat outside and our server, Allie, was really on her game. We wanted for nothing all day. The food and drink selection was awesome. Drinks were not lacking in the alcohol department and the plates were plentiful. They also had some creative non-alcoholic options that a few of our friends enjoyed. Looking forward to the next time we can get back. I also loved that the place is dog friendly!“

“Great place to grab a drink and and a quick bite to eat. the food is very good , and they have the greatest bartender . MR SCOTT WOLFE!! THE WOLF!! very fun place“

“The food is only average, but the service was exceptional. Sandy, our server, was so warm and welcoming she really made our time special. We have been here several times over the past few years and this is the most fun we had (even though we couldn't win a race).“
