I came here on taco Tuesday and had a great time! Lucy & Tanisha took care of me and I've been coming here ever since, also they always have a raspberry surfside ready for me. read more

Brunch at The Whiskey Priest is what happens when Sunday decides to be fun instead of responsible. The vibe walking in? Lively, upbeat, and just the right amount of "we earned this." It's got that cool gastro-pub feel where you can sip a cocktail at noon and no one judges you, in fact, they encourage it. Now let's talk about the real star of the show: the Breakfast Burrtios! We ordered them, and let me tell you, this wasn't some dainty little wrap. This was a full on, two hands required, no talking for five minutes situation. Packed with all the breakfast essentials and wrapped up like a gift to humanity, it was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what brunch dreams are made of. Every bite basically said, "You made the right decision today." The rest of the menu has all the brunch classics with a fun twist, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked like it deserved its own photoshoot. The drinks were flowing, the crowd was buzzing, and the whole place had that contagious weekend energy. If you're looking for a brunch spot in Belleville that delivers great food, good vibes, and a breakfast burrito that might require a post meal nap, The Whiskey Priest is your place. Just come hungry and maybe wear stretchy pants! Haha! read more

Came here on a Monday night for the Knicks game... upon entering I could tell there was good vibes. I was able to be seated immediately however I must admit that my boyfriend was there beforehand so he had saved us a table. I had the Carne Asada Trio of tacos which was recommended by the server who was extremely friendly and patient despite it being busy. My boyfriend had the sweet potato fries and the buffalo wings. I did have one of the wings and unfortunately, it was a bit too salty for me. However, the tacos made up for the dissatisfaction in wings. Overall wasn't disappointed I would definitely come back and try other food options. read more

I came here on a Thursday night, my friend suggested this spot and it was both our first time there. Once you enter, it has two sections, bar on one side and dining area on the other side. The place had a dj, not sure if this place has a dj every night tho. The place has a sports bar/club vibe. Started off with the happy hour wings ($10) which was really good. For my main, I got the smokehouse burger ($17.95) which was really good. I wanted to catch up with my buddy and was able to but had to speak loud due to the music. I would recommend this place if you want to catch sports games with good food or for happy hour. * Street parking * Good happy hour menu * Good service * TVs to catch sports games read more

Have been to Whiskey Priest many times on the weekend & always had a great time! However EXTREMELY disappointed visiting on Sunday night 12/21.... Google and Instagram show open until 2AM. Sat at the bar at 1AM & the bartender told us it is last call... at 1:30AM he told us we need to leave because he needs to clock the door right away.... I told him I am so sorry we thought you close at 2 because of IG + Google which is why we came ... and he said nothing. Guess he just wanted to leave a little early. Upsetting. read more

This is my go to spot for appetizers and drinks. Always a vibe and friendly service. The sangria pouches are my fave!

At this point, I feel like I'm more of a regular so I'm kind of shocked that I haven't submit a review up until now. What I wanna say is that this place is packed when it comes to events, sporting events, happy hour, brunch. So definitely consider when you're planning on attending or visiting an event or just going there to hang. The food is extremely delicious. I always get the fajitas or the lomo saltado! The whiskey priest is a lively bar with limited parking though so keep that in mind read more

Stoped here on a Friday night with a few of my gal pals for couple of drinks. Party pouches are literally my favorite thing and they have plenty of options to choose from ! Would def recommend. The vibe/atmosphere is upbeat and fun! read more

It was like a club. So if your looking for a restaurant laid back, it's def not here! It's a cuuute location! Def more of a hip club that also serves food lol Food takes long time to get to you so if it's not right be prepared to wait. Turkey burger was dry but the ketchup helped. Tater tots were delicious. I asked for tomato and onions on my burger. When I got my food it had no onions and tomato .. so I asked again and they brought the tomato and onions on the side. (I was almost done with my burger by then ) But get this... THE RECEIPT SHOWED AN EXTRA $7.95 for vegetables!! Whaaaat?! I was like ummm no! So I talked to this dude with a beard and he said for the extra onion and tomato it's $ 2 dollars... So he updated my receipt. read more

My friend invited me to The Whiskey Priest last night for drinks. I wanted a burger, a beer, and to play some darts. Turns out, this ain't that kinda bar. It wasn't too busy when I got in around 9pm. Our group got a table and placed some food and drink orders. I wanted a Blue Point Toasted Lager off their list of drafts, but they were apparently tapped out. I got a Long Island Iced Tea instead. It was very syrupy and sweet. I ordered a burger and carne asada tater tots. The Whiskey Priest burger came with a sunny side egg and bacon. The egg wasn't runny and the bacon was chewy. Rest of the burger was pretty average overall. The carne asada tots were actually pretty good. It was a Saturday so people started pouring in and the music started getting louder. The police even arrived later in the evening because one group had accused another group of stealing a cell phone. Makes me kinda glad I don't frequent bars as much as I used to lol read more

Let me start off by saying parking over here is terrible there barely any spots even inside streets probably be the reason I wouldn't go back. Now for the place it's a nice size place the servers are nice and service is very fast I got my food really quick. The food was okay nothing special I got shrimp empenadas and wings. The place is half bar half restaurant. With tvs for sports which is great definitely more a sports bar feel. I went for Cinco de mayo so definitely was themed. But sorry because location probably pick another spot. read more

This spot is definitely a hidden gem! They offer really great happy hour specials and even have trivia night on Wednesdays! The food was excellent and service was fabulous. Ambiance was cozy, but definitely not a quiet spot! A very lively Hoboken style bar. Would definitely recommend! read more

Service is amazing Both Tanisha and Christy (or Christie) were a great dynamic duo. I arrived when it first opened so it wasn't a packed house. I could tell this is great local spot because people were still here right when it opened. The Stella draft tasted a bit weird (taps needs to be cleaned out) but other than that - perfect, perfect Would return a million times read more

The Whiskey Priest was a great time! If you feel you want to party with some class this is the place to go. You can bring your friends, family, and even a hot date! Anyone will enjoy the Great Service, Music, Drinks, and food. We had some shots, a jungle juice pouch, and Volcano nachos topped with steak. Everything was at good portion size and reasonably priced considering the upscale feel of the place. I wish I got more pictures but was having too good of a time. read more

The Whiskey Priest - Tequila shots at Whiskey Priest - Sports Bars Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

This place is a joke! Avoid it! My sister and her friends went here for her birthday and what was supposed to be a fun night of celebration turned out to be a very unpleasant and disappointing night! First it started with their server Daniel he had an attitude the whole time and when asked about pouch flavors he gave an attitude and told her to look at the menu, I get it you're busy and can't go over all the flavors, there are ways to talk to their customers and let's remember they work off tips also. The place closes at 2 and was being rushed out at 1:30. While one of the friends was finishing the drink since they was being rushed out the security called my sister a bitch. What was the need for that! If he is security it's his job to maintain safe and respectful environment. She was simply standing there waiting for her friend! When she told him his attitude was disgusting, he answered back saying your body is disgusting. No man, especially an employee of your establishment should even express themselves like this! Overall, the conduct displayed by multiple staff members was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Management should seriously reconsider staff training and accountability, as this experience significantly detracted from what was meant to be a celebratory night out. read more

Okay, so the drinks were trash. But did we expect differently for a $10 pouch? Absolutely not. The vibes in here were so phenomenal! Not what I expected from a little whole in the wall bar. The DJ was great and had such a diverse mix! We stopped by on a Saturday night around 11PM and were surprisingly seated as soon as we got there. Now the kitchen was closed, but overall a great time! I wouldn't expect the kitchen to be closed Sox early, considering they close at 2AM. Will definitely return to try out the food! read more

Last night, I got denied entry because of my attire. I had on a black t-shirt, black sweat shorts, & jordan playoff 8s. Security told me "No athletic wear". So I walked away & as I drive past the bar, I watch him check ID & let another guy in who was WEARING A KNICKS JERSEY.. You can't make this up lol the most athletic wear there is.. It's cool though, I went down the block to Cowan's Public & enjoyed my night w| the guys.. Very dope spot, check it out if you're in the area & tell the bartender Chris that Scotty the Corbin fan sent you read more

This all happened the night of 12/13/2025- RUDE STAFF, LYING ON THEIR OPERATING HOURS, STAY AWAYY FROM THIS UNSAFE PLACE!!!! My friends and I, a group of ALL WOMEN, were out celebrating our friend's 28th birthday. Around 1:00 AM, one of our friends placed another round for drinks after being asked by the server. These drinks were not delivered until 15-20 mins later. Then at around 1:30 AM, we were being aggressively rushed out because they were closing, despite their website and social media clearly advertising that they are open until 2:00 AM. My friend, who is 5'1 ft, non combative, and not disruptive, was trying to simply finish the drink she had just received when she was surrounded and hovered over by multiple security guards in an intimidating manner, as she posed a threat. This was entirely unnecessary and inappropriate. While waiting outside for our ride during an active snowstorm, one of the security guards approached my friend and verbally assaulted her by calling her a "bitch" and making degrading comments about her body. This behavior is not only UNPROFESSIONAL, it is DEHUMANIZING and UNNACEPTABLE. No paying customer OR ANYONE, but especially a woman who was not being disrespectful or aggressive should ever be spoken to in that way EVER. Unfortunately, it seems like your staff member didn't get enough home training to learn that. This incident occurred on her birthday, which makes the experience even more disappointing and hurtful. If your establishment is no longer operating until 2:00 AM, the posted hours MUST be updated to reflect that accurately. And a clear last call announcement at least 45-60 minutes prior to closing should be your standard practice so people are not rushed, disrespected, or placed in uncomfortable situations after paying for drinks they are not allowed time to finish. Considering the prices charged for food and drinks, the VERY MINIMUM expectation is professionalism and respectful treatment of your customers. What occurred last night reflects a serious lack of training and oversight from your staff. Situations like this escalate unnecessarily and create unsafe environments for everyone. I am deeply disappointed by how this was handled and expect this matter to be taken seriously. This behavior is not only grounds for serious disciplinary actions to your staff, but it reflects poorly on your establishment as a whole. I encourage everyone to think twice before wasting your money here. read more

Nice Pub bar vibe with lots of tvs perfect to watch sports. My husband and I came for lunch and I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and my husband had the skirt steak sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals. We would definitely come back to watch some games and have drinks/food. The patio also looked like a nice area to hang out! read more

No thank you. My friend had gone here a while back and wanted to go watch football here on Sunday. I read the other Yelp reviews and they were kinda all over the place, but I'm always open to try a new establishment and spread the word. We got there around 12:45pm, game started at 1pm. Place was empty, aside from 2 tables and 2 people in the bar area. We got seated, ordered drinks, and in a little bit (still empty), asked if we could get seated in a booth in an elevated area. The host explained to my friend that you need to have 5 people to be seated in that booth. Hmmm ok. We ordered chips and guacamole = typical bar food and zero to write home about. Then we ordered our meals: 12 wings, crispy chicken sandwich, tater tots, and tacos. We notice two guys getting seated in a booth. What happened to that 5 person requirement?! Hmm ok. Server comes over, asks us if we want our second round of drinks, sure. 40 minutes later, after us seeing every other table's food come out (status: still not overly busy), I wave our server who's standing around and ask her to check on our food. 5 minutes later my wings, the tacos, and the tater tots come out. And guess what boys and girls, they've been sitting under the heat lamp. The cheese is melted, but it's that shitty melt because of the heat lamp. Also, if you're going to serve us "loaded" tater tots, make sure all the tater tots are covered with the topping. Just the middle had topping (which literally looked like just some cheese and sour cream), which was absolutely TASTELESS. Another 5-10 minutes later, the chicken sandwich came out, which also looked like it was just sitting around. If that wasn't the case, they better give that kitchen an overhaul because today was a L! Now, I'm big on making things right and being understanding... do you think that our server once said "sorry for the wait." NOTHING. Also, while this was all occurring, a couple got seated in one of those booths, along with another party of 3 women in another! Hmm ok. Place looks like it's run by a bunch of young kids. Service: 1 Food: 1 The only thing that kept us from getting extremely pissed during our wait was the DJ! Bravo sir! You're the only good thing coming out of this place. read more

We visited about a month ago on a Thursday night. My boyfriend had met up with a friend here previously and thought I would like it here (he was right!). We sat by the bar. We ordered volcano nachos and added steak, we got an order of wings cooked well done and an order or sliders. Everything tasted good except the wings were cooked a little more than we would've liked. I ordered a frozen watermelon margarita which comes in a pouch. Let me tell you - it was DELICIOUS!! I ordered a second one and I was already a bit tipsy. The DJ that night was awesome. He played great throwbacks and we really loved the vibe. The bartender (I think his name was Evan?) was great. He was super attentive, efficient, and friendly. I would definitely return here! read more

Enjoyed a great time on my first visit to this establishment. The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding!

The Whiskey Priest... we watched this place undergo renovations in 2019. We finally decided to try it last night. The inside decor is very cool and the atmosphere was really great. The music is awesome ( great mix of old and new). Service was good. We ordered 2 French onion soups which were ok. We also ordered the volcano nachos with steak. Now.. normal nachos come out hot, nope not these. The steak was hot but the cheese was cold. They do provide a lot of the toppings but lacked enough chips. Was disappointed with the nachos. The skirt steak sandwich was pretty good. Think this is more of a drinking spot than a dinner place. Would definitely go back to hang out and drink. read more

I'm here on a Sunday night, trying to have a nice little time with friends out of town on the summer night. Unfortunately Verna, the average sized woman with the long black hair, who worked on Sunday, June 25, 2025, was very rude and informed my friend, who was also with me to ensure she "left her drink" when we were still sitting at our table. They kicked us out in a rush to close early. Leaving is no problem. However, the waitress was very nasty with her attitude and poor customer service skills. Usually the women and men who work here have good manners including the bartenders. However, "Verna" had a nasty attitude. At one point, she was squeezing behind my chair and the support column behind me & brushed up hardly against me. I thought it was rude, but didn't think anything of it until the end of the night when we saw her full demeanor. I come here a few times season because it is local and I bring friends who visit sometimes. It was just a shame to receive such negative customer service when I was trying to bring my friends here for the first time. More time was spent among staff flirting with each other as my photo showed above. I would normally recommend this place, because I think the owners show efforts to engage their crowds. However, getting attitude and lowkey micro aggressions from staff would makes me not want to come here again. read more

The Whiskey Priest - Poor customer service. - Sports Bars Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

Not great . Food was overdone and didn't have much flavor . Won't be back again. More oriented to younger crowd

Looove the vibe....especially when a specific bartender, Arturo, is there. He always makes the best drinks. The food is delicious and theres plenty of parking. Love watching music videos on the TV, great music always. At around 930 they take the seats away cuz it turns into a club. A must go spot if your lookin for something to do on the weekend. read more

I have been here several Saturday nights and EVERY SINGLE NIGHT IT IS AMAZING. Am I coming to a bar for the culinary delights? No. Am I coming to relive my youth and forget that I'm a mom who should like reading more than I like tequila? Yes! I am 39 years old and the crowd is one of the few that are pretty mixed, but leaning to the older crowd. More importantly the music is leaning to the older crowd so I can sing along, order endless rounds of tequila and regret it the next day. I don't drink mixed drinks, I do 1800 and seltzer and it is always poured well. I have had the calamari and wings here and both have been good. The kitchen is open late, which I appreciate. The parking in the area is not terrible, and I like that they have tables but also plenty of room at the bar. More importantly, they have a few small corners where you can actually dance a little merengue or salsa. Overall, I highly recommend whiskey priest for Saturday night, and if you catch me there, send me a drink! read more

Experienced this place on different times of the day and different days of the week. All of which were a different experience; yet, overall a good time. Based on the last time I was here on a Saturday summer evening, the place was crowded inside and out. The bouncer/security at the door was friendly checking ids. As I walked in I was lucky to find seats at the bar. The dj was playing a mix of old school and new school mash. Ordered vodka with club and vodka with cranberry and pineapple. The drinks didn't taste strong yet watched them poor adequate amount of alcohol. Definitely got our moneys worth. The bartenders were all on their feet moving quickly taking in orders all around. The chairs we were sitting on were asked to be taken away at 11pm. I'm assuming it's to open space for capacity. By 1am last call was called. By 1:30 they were asking people to leave. On another occasion came on a Saturday late afternoon with a big party. Upon arrival regardless of the place being completely empty we were asked to purchase a table reservation in order to be attended. After expressing the fact that we were not purchasing food and leaving within two hours they allowed us to purchase drinks from the bar. The margaritas in a bag are a really neat touch! And the various flavors we all had all tasted amazing! Definitely recommend the margaritas! read more

To whom it may concern, I've been coming to whiskey for a few years, even did my bday celebration there and always recommend to people I know because it's always "a vibe" and your staff is just amazing...or at least it was. Tonight a few of us regulars decided to head there for a casual night of drinks and fun and to our surprise the experience was HORRIBLE! A very nice young lady told us we can sit in any section available...we get there and notice there's only 2 chairs and as a party of 3 decided to move a chair to that table. Your new manager came so extremely rude and told us we couldn't move the chairs. We said ok no problem...my friend decided to sit in another table since we were expecting other people. He came back to say that if a party of two came in we had to move from that other table since our other guest weren't here yet. The nice young lady from your staff moved us to another table. Again, the manager approached us and said we had to move because those tables were designated for large parties. Long story short, in the years I've been coming to whiskey I've NEVER experienced this type of service. Needless to say this was a true disappointment and this is not the whiskey priest that I've grown to love and recommend to my friends all of these years. I know that I can't be the only one experiencing this with your new management because his attitude is TERRIBLE and not client friendly. I had planned on celebrating my birthday there once again this year but after tonight I highly doubt I'll return. I truly hope things change or my prediction is you're going to lose a lot of regulars like myself at your establishment. read more

Terrible service and the club owners are some of the least caring people I've ever encountered in the business. A bar fight occurred in their establishment because of one of their unruly employees and they did absolutely nothing about it. Police reports say the establishment washed their hands and said the employee has nothing to do with them, therefore they believe they are not at fault! The restaurant needs to get better hiring managers and better employees! Do NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. read more

Note: Reviewing the vibe, drinks and ambiance on a Friday night. Stopped by here on a Friday night with the guys for a couple of drinks to start the night and they had a nice outdoor section for summer nights, but we opted to stay inside since there was a DJ. Our server was attentive, but not too familiar with the drinks menu so wasn't able to really recommend anything so I decided to go with the mezcal cocktail while my friends ordered some IPAs. Drink itself was alright, but nothing special. The DJ had flashes of brilliance when playing Bad Bunny and hyping the crowd, but not sure if he was just a new DJ or didn't know what he was doing because his transitions were terrible. Most of the song choices were terrible and wasn't really moving the crowd. I would come back to try the food itself, but on service and ambiance itself I'd give it a 3. read more

Met a group of 10 other young ladies in an early Saturday evening as our wait for a previous spot was too long. So glad that happened. This spot is casual yet chic. I love the open doors from ceiling to floor that allows the outside completely in. There was tables outside with patio heaters. For a large last minute crew, service was pretty good. I had frozen margarita with mango as they had no passion fruit. Drinks - 5 stars. Yummy! Sweet and strong enough.. just how I like it. Had the fries with steak - large. Really good. Fries could be a bit crunchier. But overall food and drinks were definitely on point. I would be remiss if I didn't give a huge shout-out to the dj that played all the hits I love.. straight r&b hip hop from the 90s, 2000s. Then switch it up played a lil reggae and salsa. Had me and my girls dancing and singing the entire time. If you are looking to chill, eat good, drink good with top notch music.... Go!!! I'm definitely coming back to this spot. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I went for a friends birthday and we were able to sit outside, which turned out to be very nice. Our servers were very attentive.

The music was good and the overall establishment felt very clean. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

You'll find a mixture of sinners and saints at this lively restaurant/bar. My friends and I come here to eat and get a little irresponsible! Although this is a bar, the food here is not your typical boring bar food. The cuisine - elevated American comfort food - is GREAT, and you won't go wrong with anything you choose. We try a few different things every time we come here, and have never been disappointed. The cocktails are great as well. I was surprised to find coquito on the menu as a seasonal special! If you're an 80's or 90's baby, you'll especially love the vibe here. This dimly-lit restaurant has big screen TVs mounted all over, with some displaying sports, and the others playing a mix of hiphop, reggaeton, rap, r&b, and pop music videos from the 90's - 00's. The music helps make this place come alive at night, and when COVID goes away, the front of the restaurant will go back to being a dance floor at night. We can't wait for that! Parking is available on the surrounding streets. read more
