23 Best Pubs near South Amboy

“Rarely do I feel inspired to 5/5 a place but this is a magical spot to hang out. DJ Davis G spins the best music creating incredible vibes you cannot miss. The servers working are attentive and friendly. All of this is a 10/10, but I need to talk about the food. The wings at this spot are by far the best wings you will ever have in your entire life. When you are listening to some of the best songs you ever heard, while receiving the best service you have ever had the pleasure of receiving, you will be sitting down eating the best wings you have ever had in your entire life. These wings changed my life. I have a new answer to my "what would your last meal be" answer after consuming the wings at this pub. Nothing will ever replace how I felt when I was at this special pub. Cannot recommend more.“

“Headed over to The Bar for UFC fight night. The atmosphere was great, the staff was wonderful and although I didn’t experience the food myself I saw some plates come out that looked amazing! Excited to have a new spot in town with familiar faces - definitely would check it out!!!“

“We had a repast for a family member and everything was fabulous! Setting up all the details with Lynn was seamless. Staff were friendly and very attentive to our needs. Food was absolutely amazing! We can't thank you enough! Highly recommend!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“This was our first time dining at Bello's and the place was clean and family friendly. We ordered fried mushrooms which were previously frozen and not very good and I had the buffalo wings which were average with little flavor. We both had a salad which was good and then a bar pie and eggplant parmesan which was good.“

“Great time so wonderful 🥂“

“It's a small place but the food was amazing! I had the Caliente Cali burger. It was delicious! The chipotle Mayo was really good and their frys are amazing! Definitely will stop by again if I get the chance.

Parking: Good amount of parking, if it's busybitncould be difficult to find a place to park.“

The owner, Kim, helped us with the menu, was totally delightful and you can truly tell she enjoys her customers and being there. I am going back .. soon. The atmosphere was delightful, you felt like you truly were in Germany. TOP service, the food is amazing ..a MUST DO on your list .. annually, if not more.“

“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.“

“I tried the Hazy IPA twice to make sure I was right in liking the first one. I was right. It is called the Dejabrew. I recommend a double just like I had.“

“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.“

“Favorite dive bar!! One of the last in the area. Great bartenders!“

“Went with a group of 13 adults and children. Food was fresh and tasty. Prices were reasonable and the service was excellent. The manager came over early on to see if we needed anything else after our food arrived. Great place to relax and have food and drinks in a casual environment!“
