Currently in their soft opening phase (Sundays only in September), they are gearing up for their official grand opening on October 1st 2025 followed by a Wednesday-Sunday schedule. Leashed, friendly pups are welcome inside the tasting room, and Brie absolutely loved the staff, she could not stop saying hello to everyone. The atmosphere is laid-back, the community support is strong, and the beer list is already off to a great start. Right now, they are pouring a couple of hefeweizens (including a cranberry-pomegranate twist), plus both an American IPA and a West Coast IPA, with more to come. You can bring your own food, settle in on a comfy couch, grab a table, or pull up a seat at the bar while catching the game on the TVs. We are excited to see Lokal thrive and cheers to what is ahead!

After extending our stay to enjoy the view, with one more drink each, I wanted to check this place out. The not so friendly female bartender advised me there was a private party on the first floor and to go upstairs by stairs or elevator. Okay. So, anyway, I notice in the elevator there's a 3rd floor (roof top) and wanting to prolong our day out, I say, hold the elevator while I take peek on the rooftop venue. Very inviting, so we go to the rooftop, not crowded, and the bartender was fairly quick to take my beer order. I like IPA's and had a hazy, which she suggested. We sit across from a couple on the couch. I decide on lobster roll sliders. I have a feeling it'll take forever for a server to approach, so I order at the bar and point to where we're sitting and pay in advance. The food comes quickly and I have my cash tip ready and the server very sweetly accepted it. The bread was delicious. Not so much lobster, but the bread and combo made it very tasty. $20 for 6. I wouldn't buy if hungry, but it was a decent appetizer, if a bit pricey, during these crazy times and crazy prices we're all experiencing now Our companions (we were sitting in one of the couch area conversational pits) mentioned his partner was unaware he was paying $17 a pop for a glass of white wine, and had just plunked down $34 for two barely half glasses of wine. Um, no. My beer was the usual expected price. The lobster sliders were on soft, tender, fresh mini rolls that were slightly sweet, like "Hawaiian" bread. Decently priced beer. Enjoyable views. And I took special notice that the barriers were slightly above waist high (I'm 5'6") with plenty of space between the barriers and the ground below - just in case your drunk a* decides you can fly. Lol! Good choice! Nice views. Bathroom was clean, but I can imagine the nightmare when packed, as there were only two unisex bathrooms. The Xtra levels would, hopefully take up any slack. A lot of beer houses do not serve food in NJ, so that's a plus. I would definitely check this place out again or go the first time, especially with a date!

BRADLEY BEACH: There is a new brewery in town, and it is already pouring seriously delicious beer…read more Erratic Fermentations is the passion project of New Jersey locals who took their love of home brewing and turned it into something special. The result is a thoughtfully crafted brewery that is both creative and welcoming and they are just as excited to see your pup walk through the door as you are. Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside the stylish tasting room and out back on the patio. For such a new spot, the tap list is impressively well-rounded. Our standout was the Duke of Nowhere dark mild, smooth, flavorful, and effortlessly drinkable. The Wasp's Nest DIPA, a collaboration with Oakflower Brewing, brings a bold, unique twist, while the Looking for Pancake imperial stout delivers just the right touch of sweetness without going overboard. We also had the chance to chat with Dan, one of the owners and brewers, whose excitement is as fresh as the pours. It is clear this space is more than just a brewery, it's a playground for creativity, experimentation, and great beer. Cheers!

They did a beautiful job reinventing the space and have 2 dog friendly areas! They did a lot with a little and the indoor tasting room is absolutely gorgeous with a modern design, accents, and counter seating. Their outdoor space has a beautiful patio with a pergola, cushy chairs, and tables. We are thrilled that leashed and friendly dogs are allowed in all the areas. They feature their very own old fashioned cocktail and also have a build your own concept where you can pick one of their spirits (vodka, rum, bourbon) and mix with one of their 6 mixers for a delicious drink. The mixers are so tasty on their own, that you can enjoy it as a mocktail. I am still thinking about the watermelon jalapeno drink and how yummy it is. Bring your own food and chill at this awesome new spot!

It was so delicious and the menu was innovative and fun. We shared a bunch of appetizers and they were all amazing. The famous chicken nuggets were good but the chili crisp deviled eggs were divine, and the mussels in Thai curry sauce were amazing. For lunch, I got the fish special, which was tilefish. I felt like I should try for something healthy and after I ordered it I was having regrets that I didn't get a burger or pasta. Well, that tilefish was probably the best fish I've had in years. It was perfectly prepared and the sauce with little shreds of potato as a coating was delicious. My friend got the Malfadine and I got to try that and it too, was delicious. The staff and service was fantastic too. The host was happy to be there and made us feel really welcome, the food runner was super cool, and our waiter, Lucas, was hilarious. He made honest recommendations when we were comparing potential orders and we were all thrilled with them. I can't remember what he recommended for dessert but everyone loved it (it had a Biscoff cookie on top). He really leveled up our experience. I have ONE critique, and that is that you can't order a Bloody Mary. I get it, you're hipsters, you have an artisanal drinks curator, why do you want that pedestrian drink you old fart, etc. That started my meal off on a bad foot, and got my back up. Luckily it was followed by delicious food an amazing treatment by Lucas and the rest of the staff, so I calmed down and got over myself.
