No food...service was spotty and the place was rock personified. If dive was you ambiance it was just the place. 3 rules...no dancing on the tables...no open drug use and no public sex. I moved away I the mid 80s before everyone got strung out...

So, when I saw that one of my faves, Cece Peniston, was going to be there and the tickets were so reasonable, I had to jump at the chance. I know that promotion for specific events are separate than the venue itself, so this is for the space, drinks, and vibe only.. Since I read such reviews about the place being in need of a good cleaning and other not so good things, I was actually pleasantly surprised when I found it not to be as skeevy as I'd expected. The bartender was nice looking, friendly, and made a great drink. Wonderful cosmo! The DJ was playing great music.. great old New Brunswick college town vibes with the pool table and Rutgers paraphernalia around. I wasn't too happy about the downstairs area where they put on the shows.. it seemed like an old church basement, just sorta bootleg. They said that they remodeled, so not certain how it was before. I'd much rather be upstairs. I would probably return to enjoy a laid back round of a pool during happy hour. It's really a vibe to me.

There are flatscreens all around the bar for watching sports. In the back they've added a bar and there is a dance floor with a DJ booth. They play good music and dancing.. Huey's Knight Club can get really busy the later it gets. This place is definitely a hot spot with Rutgers students. Their open 7 days a week from 7p until 2am. The drinks are very reasonably priced. Lots of Hapoy Hour Specials. They have Twisted Tea on Tap, along with Truly Hard Setzler. Huey's Power Hour- Every Sunday-Thursday( except special events) from the time they open until 11p there is $2 Well Drinks, Lits, and Miller Lites. Huey's has a nice selection of craft beers. They hold fun events here too like a Toga party. Popcorn is served, but no food. . The staff is always very friendly and they have good service. The owner is also very friendly and accommodating . They are strict with ID proofing but they need to be because of college kids and underage drinking, I like that they even have a quick breathalyzer test you can take to check to see if you're able to drive legally. Most bars don't offer this. I think it cost 1 dollar to use. There is street parking in front and all along the side roads. If your not fare, or decide to bar hop because there are several other bars within walking distance it's worth ubering. I came here for a staff/ friend reunion for an old bar that used to be in Green Brook, NJ which went by two different names depending on the year. It was called TJ Mc Turtles/ Jukebox Eddie's. The owner of Huey's Mark used to work there along with many others. We spent the afternoon reminiscing, eating, drinking and enjoying our reunion with good friends. You should definitely check out Huey's for a fun time!

    I arrived in New Brunswick by train, which is to say I trusted the machinery of civilization to…read moredeliver me to lunch. It did. A short walk later, I found myself at Destination Dogs, a place I had seen in photographs that suggested capaciousness. In reality, it is smaller.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I remember once hearing something about the contents of small packages. At 12:30 the place was full. Packed with humanity and appetite. I was seated quickly, as if someone had anticipated my hunger in advance. From the bar came the sound of construction crews discussing their midday rituals. Apparently this is where they come on Fridays, to repair themselves while they repair the city. It explained everything. Service was swift and attentive, a minor miracle given the crowd. I began with a Scotch egg, an item that seemed to have wandered in from another story entirely. I ordered it for that reason. I had always imagined my first Scotch egg would be eaten in an English pub under low ceilings and older regrets. Instead, here it was. Perfectly crisp, warm, and generous. The universe does not ask for permission. Then came the main event. The menu is an atlas of hot dogs. Domestic. International. Proteins in tube form arranged like possibilities. There is even an invitation to build your own, which I accepted. I attempted to recreate a favorite from Crif Dogs, a thing called the Spicy Redneck. Bacon wrapped dog. Pickled jalapenos. Coleslaw. Simple in theory. Destination Dogs improved upon it in every way that matters. The bacon crisped with purpose. The jalapenos spoke clearly. The coleslaw behaved. The hot dog itself seemed proud to be there. All of this, plus a 16 ounce beer, cost me about twenty five dollars with tip. A small price for order in a chaotic universe. Five stars. Not because perfection exists, but because this comes close enough to make the argument.

Service was fast and efficient. Really didn't check out the bar too much but there were a lot of TVs and cocktails being made.

The service was phenomenal -- the host was also our server, the bartender was the food runner and busser half the time as well. It was clearly evident that their staff work as a team and are all incredibly hard workers. We both also really enjoyed our food, opting for a steak sandwich (for my husband) and grilled chicken sandwich (for me). The portions were large enough to bring home leftovers and still feel full, and everything tasted fantastic. I absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be back soon.

Worst of all the salmon burger had a strong smell and the fries weren't fully cooked. The waitress was quick and she did a great job. The place itself is dimly lit and has a relaxed ambiance. Better upstairs if you are going for more of a sit down dinner as the main floor has the TVs and bar.
