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.“

“As a Union Beach Resident, I just have to give a shout out to this awesome local pub. Although I visit there often and it has become like a second home where you visit family when you enter, the NYE celebration last night was so fun! The pre fix menu was full of options and the pricing was so fair. The drinks are always served cold and well prepared. Renee and Courtney were up beat and on point and made the evening even more enjoyable. It would not have mattered though who was behind the bar as the rest of the team there are all amazing and professional! If you are in the Bayshore area and are looking for a place to visit stop by and check them out!! BTW, the burgers are really the best in the area !!“

“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 🥂“

“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!“

“the best drinks and burgers around 😋“

“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. 😋“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“What a great staff! Always sweet and attentive.
The wings and pizza rock! As well as many many other items on the menu. Try.an burger!!
And they have cauliflower crust for my fellow gluten free- ers!
Parking is abundant and the patrons make you feel like one of their own. Love this place.
And don’t forget - Game Night on Wednesday’s - always free to play.
Keep up the amazing work Ryan’s! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“(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.“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this welcoming pub after a long working day during UN Week in NYC. As my hotel was near Carteret was able to hop off the NYC bus and stroll right in. Trivia night was on and that was a welcome diversion - as was the prompt and friendly service and the cold beer! BTW, $5 Happy Hour is Monday-Saturday 5-8pm. I’m a wing snob so didn’t give them a high ranking but definitely in the zone of tasty and comfort food! Highly recommended!!!“
