3BR is the best bar in Central Jersey, and my absolute favorite bar in the world. I said what I…read moresaid. And I thank Yelp for introducing me to this beautiful, unique, gem of a place. Gosh, where do I begin? First off, they make all their alcohol in-house which is just SO COOL. Behind the bar, is a glass wall so you can see all the machinery used to brew it. The owners are extremely passionate about their product and you can taste it in their drinks! Every cocktail is delectable and so thoughtfully made. They also host events every month, all throughout the month! I've been going to trivia and bingo nights and it's so fun! Plus the decor and theme of the whole place is AWESOME. So much history and storytelling everywhere you turn. I will never ever stop yodeling to everyone about how insanely cool this bar is. Bring your friends, bring your food and I promise you'll fall madly in love with 3BR!

Love this little hidden gem in the beach town of Keyport. My husband brought me here once before,…read morethis was our second visit, and we will definitely be back for an upcoming recurring event we learned about. When you drive past, you might not exactly know it's there- almost looks like a warehouse or closed shop when passing by. It is dark and gives speak-easy vibes. When you enter, it looks like you time traveled into the old USSR with Soviet decor. We had the horseradish shots (spicy to the perfect level- not the kind that makes your nose burn), my husband had some kind of hibiscus or fruity drink, and I had the extra dirty martini. LOVED the pickle stuffed olives that came with my drink. I selected the gin, but would opt for the vodka version next time to see if I could taste more olives. Our server was incredibly friendly, and when we asked about bloody Mary's, he mentioned that on certain weekends for $25 you can pay to get in and drink bloody Mary's and have Oysters. We will certainly be coming by to try! Overall, such a unique, off the beaten path experience. 10/10 recommend.

Off season review. My friend and I were eyeing up the place outside when a bartender came by on his…read moreway back from tossing trash and said "hey, we're having a tiki party. Come in." and held the door for us. He gave us menus and glow sticks and went back to work. Very fun encounter. The place is tiny and has serious personality. The cover band and decorations were impeccable. It does get cramped as the night goes on so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Our drinks took maybe 10 minutes because there was an issue with one of the ingredients but the bartender gave us complimentary shots to make up for it (totally not needed, but definitely appreciated). The drinks were awesome.

Fantastic drinks! Nuanced, layered and extremely interesting flavors. 3 of us went and we loved it!…read moreWe will be back. Bartenders really care about their craft here, great to experience.

For a Saturday night it wasn't too crowded they had pretty good music playing. The espresso martinis were delicious. They had $6 orange cream shots, but I guess they must have sold out by the time we got there. They did offer us an apple or peach. I think we did apple.. lol either way. That was delicious. We ended up doing 2 rounds. Overall we had a great time.

A great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and vibe. There's 3 parts to their venue--- 1- the…read moredistillery itself- you can visually see the stills and tanks for making their whiskeys and clear spirits or you can get a tour. 2-- inside bar where they make their own signature cocktails using their products. They don't have tequila (heads up). 3-- The outdoor bar and tables. The third is probably the most popular when the weather is warm. Parking is somewhat limited, but there is a large lot across the street. When we were there, a bluegrass band was playing. The bartender was very attentive and spends a lot of time making their creations. For example, the Berry Blast which contains their vodka along with simple syrup, pineapple juice, blackberries and raspberries actually uses quite a bit of real fruit and gets muddled into a tasty cocktail. Most of the prices are in the $10-15 range per drink. I believe you can bring your own food and its possible there may be some food trucks close by.

I went to see a friend's band play here and there was only one bartender and the owner acting as bartender with 40-50 people trying to order drinks. Drink selections are interesting but some were weak. When I tried to close out I was presented with a very high bill on a tablet without being shown a breakdown of my order. So I asked to see it and they had to cancel the bill in order for me to see it. Good thing I checked because I was charged for 2 drinks I didn't order which were $15 each! If you go here CHECK THE BILL! I doubt I'll return.

HAMMONTON: Blue Rascal Distillery is a gorgeous distillery right downtown and we love that they…read moreappreciate their doggy visitors. The tasting room has a beautiful mood and they allow leashed and friendly dogs inside! Blue Rascal distills hard liquors including gin, whiskeys, rum, brandy, vodka, and fruit flavored liqueurs! Not only can you have a taste of them straight, but also enjoy them in a thoughtfully crafted cocktail. Hammonton is famous for being the "Blueberry Capital of the World" and Blue Rascal uses the local blueberry varieties to bring flavor to their creations. There are a couple of spaces to choose from to sit and when the weather is nice, the big front window opens up to allow for a scenic view and more counter seating. Reservations are recommended at this popular place and you can bring your own food, when they do not have their pop-up grill menu. Check out seasonal drink specials and events throughout the year and chat with a friendly staff member.
