I met up with some friends on a Saturday night in the summer and the place was packed. We were…read moretold it would be a 90 min wait for a table of 5. Fortunately, the waiting time was about half of that. While we waited, we hung out around the bar and there wasn't much room to linger. The views of the New York skyline were breathtaking and this place is the perfect setting for a beautiful summer night! I had the calamari and New Jersey lobster rolls. The calamari was tender and tasty. The rolls were small but good. They weren't loaded with mayo and came with chips that were very salty. I probably would have preferred french fries, if given the option. Parking is a bit of a challenge. We managed to find a spot and it was a 5 min walk to the car.

(Great thing). When arriving at the restaurant, realized the parking lot was a bit weird. It only fit 10 cars. Very odd. Parking lot across the street was the only option because the size of the parking lot was full with 10 cars. $3 to park at the beach lot. Only coming from a drink, I had an amazing visit here. The bartender was so nice! And made a great espresso martini. So glad that when I'm in the area next time I will remind myself to come straight for dinner. Menu looked good too!

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.

I'm not sure why because I'd never actually been in one. Well, I definitely have egg on my face, because this place was so dope and fun! I visited for this year's Halloween party complete with an awesome DJ and an MC that really got the party rocking and maintained through the night. This place is really nice looking. Clean, modern.. complete with a great amount of huge TVs so that you're entertained at every angle. The drinks were off the chain delicious and potent. Aimee is an absolute gem in this place. She's friendly, is a mixologist master, and it doesn't hurt that she's a hottie. :-) I'm thinking of having something here for my birthday because it's that atmosphere that I'm looking for. Like low key and local where everyone knows your name, but not lacking in any way. And I have to add, some of the best fried ravioli that I've ever tasted! And I'm not just saying that because I was a little lit. LOL. Can't wait to return!!
