    I'm not a social person and I've probably been out twice in a year's time. Everyone here is really friendly, from the staff to the patrons. It's a good time and I've found all of their drinks and food to be great. It's a great place, and coming from a reclusive person, I really appreciate that there's somewhere that I feel comfortable going.

    I have held off multiple times on writing a review for this place but I really need to share my experience here. Everytime my friend and I go here, there is at least 2 if not more issues with our experience. I have a lot of patience for people in the service industry since I have also been a part of it, but this is just ridiculous. Good luck getting the staff to acknowledge you in the first 30 minutes of you being there unless you're an old alcoholic screaming at the TV. One day after sitting at the bar for 15 minutes, the bartender finally came over and questioned our ID's for a while but ultimately decided to serve us (we are 22). We ordered 2 drinks which came out pretty quick and also got an order of onion rings. We timed it and it took 50 minutes to get our onion rings. There was only one full table, the rest were empty, so i'm not sure what the hold up was. Another time we went there, we both just ordered salads and it took 30 minutes. Today when we went, it took a while to get the bartenders attention even though she was just standing there. When I got her attention she told me my friend and I have baby faces and she needs to see our ID's, which is understandable since again we are 22. However, this bartender has served us multiple times and says the same thing every time. I gave her both of our ID's and expected there to be no issue. She went on to bring our ID's to 3 of her workers and took her sweet time getting back to us and handed me our ID's back and said "I don't really know what this is". I'm not sure what that means or how she is unable to do simple math and know that two people born in 2001 are of age to drink. Not to mention, I have seen the bartenders clean the glasses, and they literally barely rinse them and use dirty water. The food is mediocre but the service is worse. I'd recommend going to Docks in Jamesburg where their staff is not incompetent.

    If you're hungry and thirsty stay away from this place !!! Went in with my family. Set at a table for almost 20 min without anyone approaching. We got no acknowledgment, no one took the order, and no one even offered a glass of water. Occasionally there were people (staff) passing by, totally ignoring our presence until we got up to leave. Unbelievable experience.

    Decent and moderately crowded Sports bar. I guess this has a customer who visit on a regular/daily basis as most of them greeted one another with their names. Probably us (4 of us) and few others looked first timers here. I was looking for IPA and waitress helped me in selecting their best IPA (I do not remember the name) that even my friend had one after his beer and liked it as well. They have good choices for Vegetarians starters and my other friends liked their Sampler as well. All in all, a friendly, decent and yet enjoyable place.

    My BIL and I were there on a Saturday and we sat by the bar. The initial order was prompt but later on we were heard only when continually asked for it. The lady at the bar continued to turn a deaf ear to my order though she was in hearing distance and didn’t have the courtesy to acknowledge and say brb or call our waiter. Also, when we stepped out exclusively telling our waiter that we would be back, to our surprise the lady at the bar had cleared out our food and drinks and we had our place occupied by the time we returned(within 10 mins max). Very Sad experience. In fact the fellow customers were more fun to hangout with, have a conversation and share a beer. Not going here again.

    We went to see an AC-DC cover band. The bar was packed. Service was Great, the bar staff and security were attentive and polite for such a busy event. For me, it makes the evening more enjoyable when the establishment is well-run.

    Excelent neighborhood bar! Most bars in the area have mediocre or bad food. This place is different. They care about what they serve. Wings and bar pies are outstanding and home made specials. Bar tenders are fast and attentive and atmosphere is friendly. 5 stars for a fantastic spot!

    After living in Monroe for almost 16 years this was my time at Ryan's Pub. My friend who lives about 3 miles from the pub suggested it for lunch today and WOW, was I pleasantly surprised!!. Quite an extensive menu of pub favorites plus enough additional variety to satisfy any taste. My friend had the pot stickers and an order of wings, I had the French Dip. Very excellent food, generous portions, good service and standard prices. The owner who recognized from friend from her past visits stopped by to chat. He was very cordial and accommodating; an excellent host who valued our business. We had a couple of cocktails each ,which is why the bill may seem a little high for lunch, but without drinks, I consider the food prices quite modest. For dessert we shared a huge chocolate chip cookie, served warm in a cast iron skillet topped with ice cream and a chocolate drizzle. The coffee was among the best I have ever had in any restaurant. The owner mentioned that there is live entertainment on weekend evenings so something to check out if you like a livelier night of entertainment. I believe he said vintage rock, not sure so you might want to call to find out . The ambiance was very much that of a sports bar/pub with regulars gathered round the bar. Quaint, homey and clean (even the rest room). True Americana at its finest. I will definitely go back. Can't wait for my husband to try it. Highly recommend.

    The Carolina wings are on another level. Probably a top 3 wing that I have had in NJ. Must try when you get there. I hear the Pizza is pretty good too if you order around dinner time. I'll give it a shot next time but the wings alone are worth the drive. Plenty of parking in the back. Good ownership and good staff. Bar get packed. Wish they had a better sound system in the dining room area which would make this place a weekly sports hang out. Lots of beers to try. Good spot if you are in the area and the wings are a MUST try.

    Great place. been going for 15 years on and off. BUT haven't been going as much as I used to since they got a DJ. I'm not there to shout over music. I'm there to eat, drink and talk with friends.

    As far as a bar goes it's pretty good. Very friendly staff. Bar food is good. Burgers I'll pass on. The beet salad is really good and so is the pizza and wings.

  • 5/5 Anthony L. 8 months ago on Google
    I think we've been through this already but to sum it up, best wings in the area, staff is generous and attentive, food is great and the place is always accommodating. A local spot but welcoming. Recommend a stop by.

    Local friendly bar that has better than ordinary bar food. It is also a great place to wear your jersey and watch your favorite team.

    What a fantastic upscale dining experience. My husband and I were seated outdoors with a stunning view of the lake. Our waiter and sommelier were super friendly and knowledgeable about the extensive food & wine menu. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We started with the lobster dumplings, they were extremely fresh. For the main course my husband had wagyu, and I had the foie gras - perfection! Would definitely come back for more and recommend!

    By far the best burgers and French onion soup I’ve had in a really long time! Everything Mike cooks is delicious, and their customer service is above and beyond.

    Went here on the way to a party with a couple freinds, the atmosphere is right up my alley being a simple good natured bar. The Drinks were cold and good, the Bartender was friendly and there were lots of funny signs about to read.

  • 2/5 Beth O. 1 year ago on Google
    They forgot one of our orders and then waiting 45 min for the one order of 8 wings to be completed. Other 5 orders of wings already cold and fries were soggy when i got home. Horrible service for over priced wings. Never again

    Went to see a friends daughter's band. She has an amazing voice but unfortunately we couldnt here it. Male bartender had no idea what he was doing. Pricey for a sports bar.

    Went to "Irish pub" on St paddy's day and ordered 4 corn beef n cabbage meals, supposedly what they boast being an Irish pub. Lol . Severely disappointed, no flavor at all, got 1 potato quartered n everything tasted like water. Never again what a flop maybe their spirits r good but will never go there again. Oh forgot about the soggy Irish soda bread great job guys.
