“It's tucked away in a small strip mall next to a pizza place. There is a small bar in the back with a TV. The bar is always lively when work gets out. The beer selection here is pretty good. There's a little of everything. The same goes for the wine and spirits. You won't find anything crazy or hard to get. The owner and the employees are all friendly and help you with anything you need.“

“On my grandson's birthday, he wanted to go somewhere where we could play pool. I found this local, friendly, establishment to be just the kind of place we were looking for, and the food was terrific. Maybe not the kind of place you would impress a young lady on a first date, but certainly the kind of place where you could hang with the guys, talk shop, or just unwind. The staff was very attentive and helpful. We had a great night! And I would go back there again for sure.“

“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.“

“This place is a solid bar, I came here on a friday night for a little nite cap around midnight and overall I had a decent time. The bar is a no frills place with three sports tvs, a juke box, at least 15 seats by the bar and some other chairs around the rest of the place. There is also shuffle board and two darts with a scoreboard which is fun. They have a great beer menu from Blue Moon to Angry Orchard, Corona, White Claw, High noon, etc. for only 5 bucks [they have at least 8 beers on tap for only $5 too]. I also saw a lot of whiskey and vodka options if you wanted to do shots or mixed drink [$7 for a shot]. The problem is the shot glasses are so small, it doesn't resemble an ounce and a half which is standard size in other bars, I felt like the plastic cup they gave me reminded me of cough medicine sizes. The bartender was super nice and friendly, he talks with most patrons and makes sure the place doesn't get too rowdy. However my fiancé felt like he was fishing for tips when he would give you a 5 dollar bill back as change. When I came there was a girls birthday with her friends and she was able to put out sandwiches and catered food of her own. I kinda felt guilty invading her space but it was nice to see that the bar lets you do your own thing. The crowd seemed fairly mixed crowd when I came, from college frat boys to young girls in their 20's or groups of men in their 30s and 40s. I did feel it was a little crowded but that seemed more based on cliques then the space itself. In terms of food, they do sell chips nuts and a tombstone pizza but there isn't much space to eat unless you sit at the actual bar. I think if this place rearranged the furniture and had an outdoor backyard they could successfully have more dining. I would definitely come back here for another night cap or to watch a sports game.“

“Great time so wonderful 🥂“

“Friendly staff, great service, beverages priced right, most of all great vibes!“

“I haven’t been there in like 20 years goodness she is still around“

“I love coming here after work! The staff is always so accommodating and nice. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I highly recommend this bar!“

“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. 😋“

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

“the best drinks and burgers around 😋“

“I mean this is the best plaza because there is shoprite, there is party city , a movie theater frozen yogurt and more but we need a target please“

“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“

“The most disfispectful place on 3222022 stop by for a drink won't get served asked for a soda said no. This was not a place you wanna be out of state. This after I'm getting home how sad this is a place that did not understand what people are going through stay away. Sad to have places like this in jersey.“

“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'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.“

“(Translated by Google) Good bar, the beers are always very cold, the girls are very nice. A decent environment. The music is not bad, but it could be better. The clientele for the most part is Dominican and Mexican. Very clean too.(Original)Buen bar, las cervezas siempre están bien frías, las muchachas son muy simpáticas. Un ambiente decente. La música no es mala, pero pudiera ser mejor. La clientela en su mayor parte es dominicana y mexicana. Muy limpio también.“

“Disco night was fabulous! More disco nights please! 🪩💃🌅“

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

“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.“

“I love the knights of Columbus. I Bartend there on Fridays and Sundays. I’m so happy and proud to be part of a great Organization. The people who come in are friendly and fun, I love the jukebox, the atmosphere is great it’s such a pleasure to work at the Knights.“

“This is the type of bar that I dig. No frills. No food, but you can order whatever you want. Beer and a shot type of place. Hasn't been updated since 1988 except for the arcade game and touchtunes on the wall. Tony was tending bar... aces of a bar tender. Know what you want, be able to take a joke, show a little respect, and your beer won't be empty and will always be cold.
You will have a good time here. Be sure to tip the staff well.“

“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!“
