    Another delicious dinner at #BellsTavern in their dining room ( some eat & drink sitting at their friendly oval bar). We always check the blackboard for specials, plus their "regular " specials posted in their menu. Always a friendly, casual atmosphere here. Family friendly too.

    What a wonderful, cozy Italian influenced tavern in Lambertville! We were seated at a high top near the front window which was lovely. There are plenty of things to order on the menu but we wanted pasta! We ordered basic pastas - that's what we were in the mood for - Mariana Spaghetti & Pesto Fettuccine! They were delicious but a HUGE serving. We could have easily shared one entree between the two of us! So either share, bring some friends, or be prepared for leftovers! Our server was lovely and balanced the perfect amount of attendance and privacy! :) Totally would come back here again!

    Food left me somewhat disappointed. Not worth the trip when there are so many other places in Clinton or around that area.

    Does this place still serve Beef Wellington? That's what they were known for. If so, do they serve it everyday?

    The Boathouse in Lambertville is a fun craft cocktail spot! The star of the show is the nautical…read moredecor featuring a treasure trove of paintings, photographs, prints, replica ships, books, and exotica. Borrowing a move from Tiki bars, the Boathouse's nooks contain risque artwork! We were greeted by a friendly lady in a tiki robe, who gave us the option to sit outdoors, indoors (ground level with live music), or upstairs where the bulk of the artwork resides. We opted for upstairs. The space felt like a classy naval officer's club. The cocktail menu contained mostly classics and riffs on classics. I opted for the Smoked Honey Negroni with Barr Hill gin, and a Boulevardier. Both were very good. The Boulevardier - interestingly, was served neat in a brandy snifter glass. Our group also tried the French 75 and Last Word (Mezcal style). Cocktails were $16-$17, well-constructed, and sturdy. Service was friendly and unrushed - the perfect format for a relaxing evening. My one constructive suggestion is to replace the creaky wooden chairs upstairs and add more couches or cushioned chairs.

    For this five star review, I want to slightly preface that perhaps a small portion of why my wife…read moreand I had such a splendid experience at The Boat House was because of our timing, but I'll come back to that shortly because regardless of when we were there, I did love so much about this place. Recommended by almost any local you ask, The Boat House sits in the quieter Lambertville side of the bridge that connect this Jersey town to the slightly more bustling New Hope, PA. Down an Edison-lighted alleyway you'll find this small house for boats and ya know, it probably was a house (not sure about for boats) because it's pretty dang small. The night we were there I noticed there's some outdoor tables available, but really the interior downstairs area only fits a handful of folks. The upstairs can hold a bit more and that is where our timing lies. Somehow, we must have been early/lucky enough to hit The Boat House on a Friday evening when everyone was still out to dinner because the very friendly host sat us upstairs where we had the entire place to ourselves for almost our entire time there. Having the space added such an extra vibe to everything, especially because those creaky steps lead up to what really gives The Boat House its name as the ceiling is covered in maritime memorabilia. The walls, book shelves, and eclectic array of tables and chairs also adds to this. People or not, it is a true unique spot. But what really makes the place so great (besides the looks and the friendly staff who never stopped checking in on us) are the drinks. To start, my wife wasn't feeling alcohol and got an Aper-No Spritz which did the trick, though for myself, I dove into the intriguing list of specialty drinks that makes this place worth visiting. Round one was the Rower's Reserve which lists as a Boat House original and is gin-based with Amaro Nonino, sage, and blackberries to create some fantastic flavors. Round two I had to go with a personal favorite (with a twist) in the smoked honey Negroni which tasted exactly as it sounded. There were a bunch of other libations that also sounded intriguing, but that'll have to be for a future visit. Overall, there's a reason people from the area always suggest The Boat House. It's a true old fashioned maritime cocktail bar that gives you all the feels you'd want from a place like this. Perhaps this review is a little tainted in timing, but hey, maybe that'll give you a little motivation to get here on the earlier side and checkout the upstairs area for yourself. No matter if there's people up there or not, it's a good time here. Cheers!

It's a basement bar On West Bridge Street, Right off of the sidewalk you have to take a few stairs down to get to the pub and then a bunch of stairs to actually walk right into the pub. We wanted to try a few different places in the area and saw this and had to stop in, we only had two Irish coffees which actually were made the real Irish way and they were absolutely delicious by the gentleman behind the bar, wearing an Eagles hat. We ate lunch previously so we were not hungry to get any food- honestly I don't know what type of food that they have because we did not look at the menu at all. But they were very nice and courteous, we got there early so there was really nobody else there at that time, the owner- I believe his name was Freddy -actually came over and was very chatty and hospitable with us for a few minutes and then he had to get back to work lol. Freddy mentioned they have live entertainment on Saturday nights maybe the next time that we venture up there we will go and see their entertainment. Even though it looks small Freddy mentioned that they actually do have four floors. If you're in the area, stop by this Irish pub that it looks like they have a lot of pride about

I found the bartenders outside to be very responsive, attentive, and helpful - I was never lacking for something to sip on. I recently decided to stop drinking alcohol, and it's pretty accommodating to that choice - seltzer at the ready, and a few mocktails on the menu! I ordered a virgin mojito, and it was great! Especially considering I can barely ever get a mojito anyway (yes, as soon as I decide to stop drinking, the first happy hour I attend has it available!). Food was not bad - we got a small spread of different appetizers, and I thought they were all pretty good. Nachos, a big taco thing, fried mac and cheese balls - decent bar food. With a name like Havana, one might expect it to be a Cuban spot, and in some ways it is (thanks again for the mojito!), but the menu was fairly mainstream. Overall a pretty good experience, I think, and I wouldn't be opposed to going again for another happy hour, though New Hope has lots of options! Parking was street-only, which was fine on a Tuesday evening, but I can imagine it being rough on a weekend.
