“This place has it all ! Great service even from the minute you walk in you feel welcome there. Apple Crack Cocktail is wildly tasty ! Bourbon Slushy excellent except for the brain freeze. Chicken HandPie was quite unique. Flaky light and tasty. The French Dip Sandwich was done perfectly bread had the perfect crust yet still soft inside. Steak cooked perfectly. Now the GUMBO !!!!! Just insane with flavor and depth. Robust, rich full of flavor. Every bite was a different taste whether it was the crab,shrimp, sausage or crayfish . All around an excellent place. So glad we came out tonight ! Thank you !“

“Go here a bit for the happy hours. Drink and food specials are fine. Service is good. Would be nice to have a $10 salad on the menu and the choice of fries vs. potato chips with the mini burgers.“

“I can't say enough good things about this place, obviously a waterfront beach bar has an amazing view and cool atmosphere, they're constantly hosting events, live music, which attracts a great crowd as well. And by the way, in my opinion as far as bar food goes they're top tier. Not just burgers and chicken fingers but kabobs and short ribs and things you typically see as bar food. Awesome bar food, get a spot on a couch in front of a fire pit next to the water with live music... hard to beat that“

“I had my daughter's baby shower here last week. I CANNOT say enough how accommodating and nice the staff were to work with. The food - Chef's 💋 !!! Our Server Janine and Tracey the Bartender went above and beyond. I truly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!!!!!!“

“Really friendly bartenders, fun atmosphere & always consistent good food make D’Arcy’s a place I keep going back to.“

“Mix is a decent place to meet up with friends for the evening. It's closer to a bar/ lounge than a for food. The drinks are good and they do have decent bites to eat. It's kept nice and clean inside with good service. The interior has an updated and sort of hip feel to it. It's a good place for a fun night out with friends.“

“Awesome place! Best dive in NJ“

“Food was delicious and service was great.“

“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 !!“

“Visiting from out of town and stopped by based on other reviews. This place did not disappoint! Great food and drinks. Bartenders and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Everything was wonderful---the service, food, the ambience. Highly recommend you check out Homesick for a great experience.“

“This bar is exactly what your looking for. I don’t even know what else to say. I’ve never been there but I spoke to someone on the phone and had an A+ experience. My buddy Was hiding from his soon to be wife and they absolutely held their part. Can’t wait to go slam some beers!!“

“I eat a LOT

This spot has everything! GREAT FOOD, SERVICE & DRINKS

Somehow even kid friendly enough for my 2 kids under 2

Incredible time

Super reasonable prices“

“Amazing. We had our daughter’s sweet 16 last weekend at this venue and can not recommend this place enough! From the planning down to the nights end, the owner and his staff were incredibly attentive and bent over backwards to please! The food was excellent and plentiful, the venue was kept clean, the staff were on top of any soiled dishes and cups on the tables, and the outside area is gorgeous at night with the lights and waterfalls. There were small touches I wasn’t even aware of until the evening of our event. The mocktail bar for the kids had a menu where our daughter’s name was included in the names of all the drinks, flavors of the ice cream were more than the chocolate and vanilla other venues offer, the coffee was amazing, and the staff even helped clean our decorations at the end of the party. Everything I just mentioned and likely much more I’m forgetting at the moment all less expensive than most other venues we considered. Thank you again to Ravi and his staff for an incredible experience!“

“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

“Went there for the first time tonight for my wife and son's birthday. The food and drinks were excellent and the service was great. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back!“

“Boyle's is an enduring neighborhood bar that has been in business for decades. It's unassuming and sits in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood. Don't let that deter you from visiting. The drinks are very good and the staff is consistently friendly and accommodating.“

“First time here and I wish it wasn’t love loved this place everything was beyond perfect and delicious food drinks (wish I took pictures but when something looks and smells that good u don’t think of pictures)service definitely coming back.“

“Great area.,Great friends.Great service...Food.Notta so much..overall Good Time.“

“I love buffalo chicken sandwiches and have gone as far as Philadelphia to get one. However, I recently tried a buffalo chicken sandwich at Nicholas. I was speechless…literally. My brain instantly went into survival mode trying to calculate how and why this sandwich was at least ten times better than any other buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Not even a close second place. Game changing. Life changing. It’s like I knew nothing about buffalo chicken a moment before taking a bite. I was humbled instantly. Nicholas Barrel and Roost found the cheat code!“

“you dads famous pizza💖 not to mention ur dads award winning personify 🥰🧡“

“awesome place ,food is great, atmosphere is awesome ,workers are great and friendly, love this place“

“We always go for the open mic there. It's a friendly receptive crowd but just remember as a performer, not everybody there is going to be watching or listening, especially toward the back. It is loud. Just the same it's a receptive audience and the food is good.“

“We ordered dinner from Keelen’s tonight as we’ve done many times in the past. The two specials were incredible and our children’s food was awesome as always. The staff was very friendly and happy to help us right before closing with our late night dinner tonight. Such a friendly atmosphere with great food“

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

“The food and service were excellent. Don’t skip the grilled wings—they’re the best we’ve ever had! I had the blackened chicken Caesar wrap, and it was seasoned perfectly. Everything was fresh and super tasty. We regret not coming here sooner!“

“Great place to hang and watch a game or two.“

“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used“

“Great place to come and have a great bloody Mary and other drinks“

“Step through the doors of The Globe and into a world where time slows, where laughter mingles with the hum of the game, and where the clink of a perfectly poured pint feels like a familiar embrace. Since 1840, this hallowed spot has anchored downtown Red Bank—not just a sports bar, but a living relic of camaraderie, tradition, and the simple pleasure of a burger and a beer.

Once an inn sheltering weary travelers, today it shelters the spirit of the town. The barstools tell stories, the taps flow with over 30 stellar brews—domestic and foreign alike—and the famed Globe Burger is a rite of passage for any local or visitor. And if you're in the know? The pork roll fries—golden, crisp, and utterly decadent—are a must.

Fifteen flat screens glow, capturing every play, every moment, while seasoned bartenders—some here for decades—pour with precision and warmth. Their tenure speaks volumes: a sign of a place run right, of ownership that cares, of a bar where you’re not just served—you’re known.

In a world that races ahead, chasing trends and fleeting fads, The Globe remains steadfast, a beacon of what a bar should be. No pretense, no gimmicks—just good company, great drinks, and the kind of authenticity you can’t manufacture. Pull up a seat, order a Guinness (poured to perfection), and soak it in. Some places fade. The Globe endures.“

“Burger is absolutely phenomenal! And don’t get me started on the staff, absolute family vibe they treat you with respect and the food is savory! If you want the best burger in In Monmouth County and some fun chill vibes, Gaslight lights the way!!!!!“

“Awesome time always come here to enjoy a night out awesome drinks and great food“

“The Wonder Bar is magical - that is all!!! 🎶🦋☘️😇🍾🥂💐🏖️🌊“

“Great local bar. Friendly bartendress Donna sold me on a delicious new mixed drink from a local distillery. Yum!Nice outside area to smoke, play corn hole or horse shoes. Almost don't want to leave such a good review.. Gotta keep this place aNeighborhood gem! ❤️“

“Wow! We really love this place. Would come every week. The food and drinks are great.“

“The AP Rooftop is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in New Jersey. Let’s start with the AP Burger it’s the star of the show. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, it just might be the most delicious burger you’ll find anywhere in NJ. Every appetizer we tried was absolutely incredible—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and downright delicious. You honestly can’t go wrong with any choice on the menu. Cocktails are solid and on par with what you’d expect from most shore spots—well made, refreshing, and a great complement to the meal. But it’s the food and service that truly shine here. Attentive staff, a welcoming vibe, and top-tier flavors make this rooftop spot a must-visit. Highly recommend. We’ll be back again and again.“

“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!“

“Food was excellent and great service“

“Me and my family where there on labor day weekend a young man name Pat, I think he was the manager he was very welcoming and friendly the service was great and food was also very good. I wanted to say Pat customer service was perfect and thank you for the being helpful and friendly with my family and me.“

“Went to the Boardwalk Boggie party at Low Dive on Sunday. Absolutely had the best time time I’ve ever had n Asbury Park . The crowd was really fun everyone was there to have a good time . Super super fun and the cocktails were well made . Run don’t walk to Low Dive . If you are fortunate enough to be around on a Sunday night do not miss Boardwalk Boogie it’s a real good time !“

“Great little place. Food is excellent, waitresses are so nice. Very relaxing and enjoyable!“

“Most amazing views you could ask for on the water. \nWatch the boats come in and the ferry go out. \n\nThe sangria comes by the picture and is exceptionally good. \nThe service was very good and bar scene was vibrant. \nThe food is very good too. \nYou go here for the view and get good eats to top it off!“
