The fact that it is inside the Livingston Student Center, takes out that "danger" factor that always accompanies night life locations; and since it's nearby the Rutgers Cinema, it makes the perfect combination for a budget-friendly night out with friends!

It is similar to a bar, but serves only non-alcoholic beverages. During the day/ times when there is not an event, there is no one in this room. This is sad because it has such a nice atmosphere. When the weather gets nicer, they have a few seats/tables outside for the guests. I have never come here by choice, but only for events. The appetizers are surprisingly good and relatively cheap ($3-$5 for a basket that you can share).

Located in a strip mall right next to a liquor store, it remains a quiet chill lounge with delicious food and quality drinks. A selfish part of me wants this spot to remain relatively anonymous so my husband and I can enjoy its experience without the social media hype. It could use more wait staff on busier days. But Barbara the hostess is super nice and our bartender made us some great custom drinks we wanted while we sat at the bar.

The ambiance is quite chlorinated, especially when the swimmers come to dinner right after practice positively reeking of chlorine. The club scene is equally stereotypical, with lots of really really big rowers and other water sports athletes drinking copious amounts of really low quality beer, while at the same time shouting at the top of their lungs "FUCK BICKER, DRINK BEER!" Many times people can be seen attempting to move their especially tall and large bodies on the dance floor to the beat of the music, but since the average intoxication level is so high, it may look like a hot mess. However, not everyone is affiliated with the water, and those people are affectionately called "Lifeguards," and are often NARPs (Non-Athletic Regular People). Overall, this place is quite entertaining, so I give it a thumbs up!

Wonderful setting under several trees with shade off & on throughout the day. The small bandstand area had a concrete dance floor - you're able to be up close to the bands, or you can see/hear everything even if you up the hill by the building, further away from the bandstand. Clean bathrooms and ample garbages all over the place. They seem to be great event organizers here - we'll definitely be back.

I really enjoyed attending the AID For QUAID yearly fundraiser. It's very well planned with lots of food, a pig roast, beer and music. They ask for a one time donation of $20 and everything is included. There's a 50/50 and raffles to go along with it. The proceeds go to help a local young man who is paralyzed from the neck down. His name is Quaid Mobus. He is a very kind and humble young man and this was the 6 th year having this event. The members at the Elks do a great job of planning this event. This year instead of having multiple bands they were able to get my favorite band CC Coletti. CC Coletti was the backup singer for Meatloaf for many years and her lead guitarist Anthony Krizan was with the Spin Doctors Band. If you love Rock n Roll then you must see this band. They played the entire day and really made this event special. The Watchung/Warren Elks have Thanksgiving Parties, Christmas Parties, Valentine's Day Parties, St Patrick's Day Parties, Labor Day Parties and so on. They raise money for children's causes too. This is a great organization to get involved in and it's very community oriented. The Watchung/ Warren Elks can also be rented out for the day for private parties, there is a fee. You would have to contact the office for further details. I look forward to attending my next event.
