    This is a great bar. The service is good, the decor is quirky, and the music is perfect. It attracts a fun, friendly crowd, and they have a good variety of beers on tap. While I was there, they were generous enough to comp me a couple of pumpkin beers because they said they were very excited for the winter lagers they had ordered! Thoughtful, and fun. Check it out.

    3.5 and will update and increase rating if future visits are better. The pro's are that it is a fun, relatively welcoming, and friendly bar on a Friday night of Karaoke. The male bartender was certainly attentive and welcoming. We got some awkward glares but we will assume it was just because we were not part of the neighborhood bar regulars. The majority of the patrons were welcoming. Con's is their censorship on certain artists and genre's in their jukebox. That was very off putting. There are some songs I rather not hear but in their attempt to censor things like vulgarity, by default, it blocked other well known artists that are not remotely as crass as others. Take note there are other reviews addressing this factor and the uncomfortable vibe this projects.

    Really!! This jukebox sucks! There's some type of block on any music with soul

    I went a couple weekends ago, after walking the Bayonne Bridge from Staten Island. Attempting to try something new we chose this bar. As soon as we entered, we could see it was a really spacious...open & airy. Full/well-stocked bar several of my favorite bottles I spotted right away. .The female bartender was super, super kind & I really liked her energy good vibes & she was very personable. I was also very tickled to see that they have my favorite jukebox (TouchTunes). So of course because I have the app on my phone I instantly began playing music. My usual Music choices... Phil Collins, Garth Brooks and then attempted to play a Prince song. And that's when the frustration begin. After searching and attempting to play a several different artists I realized that this jukebox had a block on it that prevented me from playing what seemed like any artist that could be considered soul music or soulful. It was at that moment that my family realized I was annoyed & over this place. So we finished our drinks, said our goodbyes to the bartender & fellow drinkers and exited. The crowd was mixed and the bar seemed like it was a really cool place, decorated with skateboards. But to see so many great artists blocked on the jukebox, kinda made me believe that maybe this bar didn't want me and my family there. I strongly doubt that I'll ever return and if I do it would be just to say hi to that bartender (maybe her name was Katherine... she had great tattoos) I gave 3 stars because of the bartender & good selection of booze... but I would give 5 thumbs down because of lacking music options. I mean hey... it's a bar in Bayonne New Jersey not the piano bar in the Russian tea room or Ritz-Carlton And even there I should be allowed to hear PRINCE every now and then

    The BEST COBB SALAD EVER!!! The service is amazing! The drinks are on point!!! My sister just loves…read morethe coconut shrimp

    This experience does not warrant 5*, but the review it is not about the restaurant, but AmandaB…read more Dear Amanda, I am writing about what occurred following our recent visit. Being followed down the road and confronted about not leaving a tip, along with being told not to return when you are working, was upsetting and unexpected. I want to be clear that tipping decisions are personal. While I understand that you work for tips and that this can be stressful, a guest's financial choices are not their responsibility to justify. My husband and I chose to dine at The Well because it has become our home away from home while we are in town, and we take pride in treating both the establishment and its staff with respect. Over the past two years, we have consistently tipped well, from Ryan, whom we met early on around 2 years ago, to Madison, who was brand new hire as of last week. On this particular visit, however, we felt like an inconvenience to you rather than welcomed guests. We also noticed discrepancies on the bill, including two identical drinks charged at different prices, and charges for standard burger condiments such as mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup, which we did not request as extras. These factors influenced our decision that evening. I do empathize with the challenges of working in a tip-based position, and my intention is not to diminish that. However, confronting customers in this manner is not appropriate and places everyone in an uncomfortable position. We value The Well and the people who work there, which is why I felt it was important to address this directly to you. I hope this can be taken in the spirit intended and that future interactions are more positive.
