two cars parked in a parking lot
Gerald S.

My Central Jersey Yelp buds, Chris, Marc and John, were always high on Lory's Lakeside, but this was the first time for me. Haven't seen those dudes since the pandemic, but I found myself only 2 miles away, and decided the time was right. First we saw the lake from which Lory added her name. Very scenic. The parking lot ran along the shore, but there was plenty of room to leave the wheels and enjoy the gazebo, grass and dock. In better weather, the outside picnic tables are the place to be. On this overcast Super Bowl Sunday, an inside straight was the wiser choice. I was in Eagles' Green, yet more of the peeps around the large bar were in Chiefs' Red. I guessed we were across the border of Eagle land and now in Giant land, where the Birds are not always welcome. Still, no one seemed to mind and we had a good time. Our food (Turkey Rueben & Italian Hot Dog) were both pretty good. The roll for the dog was noteworthy. Fries were hot and crisp. My beautiful lady could barely finish half that turkey, Swiss and Russian monster. Prices were reasonable and service friendly and petite. We only get to this part of Jersey once or twice a year for Grave Sweeping Days, but what a great way to overcome the solemnity of that moment, then with a more upbeat and buoyant repartee at Lory's Lakeside? Think we'll do it again.

Pesto was on point!

What a great place for an afternoon Beer…read more This place has an awesome selection of craft Beer. As a Bostonian, I almost cried when they said they had the fiddlehead IPA on top. That said, they've got a broad and deep selection of IPAs and other styles of Beer. There are loads of TVs, so this is a good place for sporting events. But on a regular weekday afternoon, there's good music playing, people are friendly, but otherwise mind their own business. I recommend this place unreservedly.

-- Solid Local Spot, But Nothing That Pulls You Back…read more North Brunswick Pub sits right on a corner that can make parking a bit tricky at first, but if you've spent any time in Jersey, you already know the move--circle around back and you'll find plenty of space. Walking in, the vibe is exactly what you'd expect from a classic local sports bar--lively, energetic, TVs everywhere, and a crowd that feels like they've been coming here for years. It leans very blue-collar in the best way: relaxed, familiar, and unpretentious. You get the sense that if you were a regular, this would feel like home. As someone just passing through, though, that "local" energy is noticeable--you're a bit on the outside looking in, but not in a bad way. One thing that threw me off right away: there's no clear direction on seating. My friend and I stood at the host stand for a couple minutes before realizing it's self-seat. Once we figured that out and grabbed a booth, service came shortly after. The waitress was fine--nothing wrong, just a bit casual and not particularly engaging. Food-wise, everything lands in the "good, not great" category. I went with a chicken sandwich--decent overall, but the chicken itself was a little flat and not as juicy as you'd hope. That's an easy win they're missing. The drink menu also felt a bit limited (no sweet tea was a surprising miss), but it gets the job done for a typical bar crowd. The atmosphere hits a nice balance--it's loud enough to feel alive, but still easy to hold a conversation without shouting. Whether you're there for a game, trivia night, or just to grab a drink, it serves its purpose well. At the end of the day, this is a solid neighborhood staple. If you're local, I can absolutely see this being in your regular rotation. If you're not, it's probably more of a "convenient hangout" than a destination spot. I've heard they do some things better than what I experienced, so I'd be open to giving it another shot--but for now, it's a steady three stars.
