Barrel & Brew Craft Bar (Located in Brookchester Shopping…read moreCenter) 872 River Rd. New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

For an "upscale casual" place, this isn't just overpriced but misleading. The food itself wasn't bad, but the portion completely killed the experience. If you're ordering from Barrel & Brew, just know what you're getting into. This felt more like a joke than a dish.

The place was pretty dead for a Friday afternoon :( Service wasn't really that great , upon arriving the bartender handed us menus and than went back to chatting with some other person at the bar ( probably a local ) and when we called her to order she actually walked away and said she'd be right back ( she actually had to go get the food for someone else that was waiting while she finished her conversation) . Anyways , it was like that the whole time we were there , maybe 3-4 people sitting at the bar and that included the 2 of us and yet she was just busy blabbering with the locals . We didn't really feel a very good vibe or welcomed . So sad because the food is good :( We will try elsewhere next time .

Ambiance is nice and big. I'm assuming the time I visited (1:30) maybe was deadish due to it being more of a dinner spot.

We went for Friday Happy Hour (3 - 6pm) for the first time. Parking garage was easy - and free (restaurant validates) We were greeted by an elegant hostess and kindly directed to the Bar or High tops.... we like the bar so we can make new friends. The Bartender (Carolina) was attentive and lively and made a great Manhattan! We tried several food items (see pictures) and each one was delightful - tasty and nicely presented. We met some great people and the GM also greeted us as we left (dressed impeccably & very professional) If you're looking for a wonderful Happy Hour... this one is great! Will return!

After exploring a historic house in nearby Alpine, this longstanding establishment on Route 9 has…read morebeen on my radar, and we decided on lunch today. Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni's Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable but was not necessary on a Sunday. Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them. The windows could be raised for that inclement weather, and heaters turned on when needed. They do have a main dining room, with the front bar much fancier. A few small bicycle artifacts make the place memorable and unique. We decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Complimentary bread with dipping oil started our meal. The food was tasty with a healthy portion. The price was a bit pricey. The service was friendly; our server was Buket. We could recommend this place.

Food: I ordered some strawberry pancakes with some sweet mascarpone cheese because it reminded me of a meal I had in Chicago. The flavor blew my mind, I didn't even need any syrup. The waitress also gave me some garlic knots as a "free bread" and it might be some of the best I have ever had. Aesthetic; really nice looking place inside with a comfortable dance floor near the bar. Bar is nice, well stocked. Service: I can't begin to say how sweet Alexa was the entire time. Super helpful, kind, and chatted with me a little bit about the place. She is a great waitress and they are lucky to have her.

The Story: Got invited to come here. Came here…read more Food: I ordered their WVT Chicken wings. If only I can give the wings negative stars. First and foremost, the wings are dry, tough, frozen before cooked...you get the idea. They were just plain disgusting. Price: At the nifty price point of $11 for disgusting wings... Actually its 5 WINGS because they were halved. Rip off. Decor: They have a nice back patio to sit and socialize with your friends. That's what earned them the 2 stars. Service: The bartender was sweet and nice. Parking & Finding the Place: Ample street parking on a creepy street. Additional Thoughts: Yeah I rather eat off McDonald's dollar menu.

The bartender, a woman with blonde hair, is very nice and courteous. Right now, they are part chicken wing restaurant, called BSO wings. The restaurant is usually open late, which is excellent for those who work late. The wings tend to be more on the expensive side, but all sauces are made in-house, and they are GOOD. I tried a spicy maple type sauce on my wings, and they were to die for. I could have drank the sauce.

I'm not sure about food (I loved Holy Cow Sliders that was shacked up in here for a bit but now it…read morehas apparently changed) but for a bar they are a little lacking. Actually interaction I heard once. Patron: "Do you have any IPA's?" Bartender: "We have Labatts." Patron: "Is that an IPA?" Bartender: "I'm not sure? Would you like one." I'm not against this bar. I'm sure it's a fun place to hang out but literally the best beer on tap is whichever seasonal Sam they have. If you are okay with Miller Lite, Sam Seasonal and a jukebox you'll be okay at Brookside. If you crave more you may want to try elsewhere...

I was excited to check out this local sports bar in Lodi after seeing all of the positive reviews…read more Honestly, it was a little underwhelming for me. Maybe I just ordered the "wrong things". Either way, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I visited on a late Saturday night. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance can be tricky to find... It's located in the back on the left-hand side. The exterior and interior are both pretty dark, dull, and dingy. It's not the most inviting atmosphere at first. It has a divey, industrial, and rustic vibe to it, but hey... sometimes the best food comes from places that don't look like much. So I try not to judge. It wasn't too busy, and the service was attentive. The menu has your classic American comfort food - wings, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc. They switch it up with daily specials like skirt steak, chicken parm, and pasta. They have a full bar with cocktails, drafts, bottled beers, can ciders, and wines. You can even do a four-beer flight and make it a tasting experience! I ordered: *Dark & Stormy Cocktail [Goslings Dark Rum, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice] ($14) - Not the best one I've had, but it was solid. If you like ginger and rum, this is a must try. The dark rum has hints of caramel which works really well with the spicy ginger beer. The lime juice adds a citrus kick, so it's a really refreshing drink. *Margarita ($18) - As a tequila girly, I've had my fair share of margaritas. This one didn't do it for me. It was a little too sour/tart, which overpowered everything else. *Cubano Sandwich [includes roast pork, black forest ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard with side of fries] ($16) - I wasn't expecting an authentic Cubano from an American sports bar, so my expectations weren't super high. This was good, but not great. The pork was flavorful, but could've been more tender. I wish there were more pickles and mayo for that extra tangy crunch. The bread was pressed a little too hard, so it was a bit tough to bite through. *Double Blackened Chicken Breast Sandwich [includes pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, red peppers, and red onion on brioche with side of fries] ($18) - This was huge and filling! They did not skimp out on the protein. The brioche bun was soft and buttery. The chicken was well seasoned - smoky and savory with crispy charred edges. BUT... to my disappointment, the inside was dry and not juicy at all. Another small issue was the ratio - There was so much chicken compared to the rest of the toppings, so it wasn't the most cohesive sandwich. It really needed more cheese and chipotle mayo to tie all the flavors together. The fries were the best part - thick, crispy, and golden! It's decent bar food, just not the best I've had. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great or memorable. For the price, I didn't feel it was worth it. I do appreciate that their food is served piping hot and fresh. To be fair, this is probably the perfect spot for beer lovers. I happen to not be one, lol. The burger options sound popular and promising too. I'd consider giving them another shot for Happy Hour or to try a burger, but it's not at the top of my list. Just because it's not the sports bar for me, doesn't mean it won't be the one for you.

We arrived to the restaurant about 15 minutes earlier than our 7pm reservation, it was pretty empty, so empty that I didn't even have to mention our reservation. We were seated by Catalina (?) she told us that was her name but the receipt says Jenny A. WHATEVER! Doesn't matter will not be back to even need to remember her name. We ordered our drinks right after being seated, drinks didn't take too long to arrive. I'm not sure if it's because we didn't order hookah or what it was that caused the lack of service but I literally watched the server walk back and forth without so much as even looking at our table to see if we were ready to order. Remember, I said the place was basically empty! There was a couple at one table and a guy at another table, a guy at the bar and another couple came in about 10 minutes after us. EMPTY for a Saturday night! I finally called Catalina/Jenny A.(whoever she was) so that we can place our food order, I'm 1,000% certain that if I hadn't called her over to the table, she would not have come over to take our order. FINALLY, we placed our food order. We got our food fairly quick. We asked her MULTIPLE times for ketchup and steak sauce, minutes go by, nothing, a few more minutes go by, still nothing. FINALLY, she comes back with the smallest cup of ketchup for a burger and fries and literally a drop of steak sauce, no exaggeration, it was a drop for a whole Ribeye steak. Who doesn't have steak sauce and you sell steak?! THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! Service was absolutely horrible and the food was definitely mediocre. Lucky for Catalina/Jenny A., the gratuity was included in the bill or else she wouldn't have received a dime!! There are so many great restaurants in Edgewater, this is NOT one of them!!
