    This is a fun pub. The bar area is huge with lots of seating and plenty of TVs to watch the games. I came to shoot darts. The TVs are set up perfectly that you can see even from the boards. The food is very reasonably priced as are the drinks. Great vibe here always.

    Ringside Pub is an awesome place to grab something to eat and catch some live music or a game!! They have incredible bands on Friday & Saturday nights as well as Karaoke Thursdays & Open Mic on Sundays!! They do the NFL Sun ticket as well and feature every kind of sports on TV! The bartenders do an awesome job too! There are daily specials as well including deals for lunch and happy hour! They also feature an upstairs room for private parties and events with catering options onsite and to go!

    I've driven past Ringside Pub on Bloomfield Avenue in West Caldwell for years and never gone inside. The iconic red barn exterior gave me the impression that it was a country-western bar, but the fact is that Ringside Pub is a classic dive bar -- with run-down decor, modest prices, and a good selection of alcoholic beverages and pub food. Most nights, Ringside Pub is frequented by regulars from the neighborhood -- popping in for a few drinks or a meal comprised of tasty and filling pub staples at a very reasonable price served up by energetic and friendly staff. The beer, wine, and liquor selection offered is generally comprised of mass-produced brands but there's also a small selection of locally brewed cans of beer from Jersey Girl Brewing. Appetizers and entrees include the pub staples like chicken wings ($10), chicken fingers ($9), mozzarella sticks ($8), and burgers ($11) -- but there's a surprising selection of Greek appetizers and entrees, including tzatziki dip served with pita bread ($9), Dolmadakia stuffed grape leaves ($8), Spanakopita spinach pie ($9), and Kolokhitakia Skordalia fried zucchini w/potato garlic dip ($10), and Shrimp Mykonos w/ Orzo ($19). Unfortunately... We didn't try any of the food on this visit -- but will definitely return another night for dinner or the live music that makes this place so noteworthy. With its worn-down furnishings and exterior and very casual ambiance, this isn't the sort of establishment you bring friends, romantic interests, or business associates if you're trying to trying to impress them with an upscale meal. Still, due to its excellent service and modest prices, I'm a fan.

    Best place ever!!! Go there on a Thursday night to see Dom and Nic who are the best bartenders you will ever find on the entire planet. It's got that stale beer smell that reminds me of college morning hangovers. The best! They do great bar pies and Domino's is so close you can't go wrong with some za! Staff is great. Bring in all the outside food you want. They'll give you condiments, plates, napkins, and condoms for later. Juke box works. There are dart boards. Over 12 TVs of largish size. Appropriate lighting for the crowd so you don't see too much. I LOVE YOU DOM!!!

    Our family has been going here for over 15 years.. We have never gotten a bad meal and the service…read moreis great!!

    I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

    First off the commissioner is a GREAT place to go. It is kid friendly but also great for adults…read more There are board games and darts to entertain! Their cheeseburgers are delicious and the service is phenomenal! It is such a cute and cozy bar and it is a must visit if you're in Park Slope! It is also awesome if you watch sports because they have tons of tvs and they are willing to take requests! I highly recommend it! -Poppy

    As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks
