1. Mur.Mur
2.5 stars
music: 3 stars
decor: 1 star
Overall the place is not the nicest looking place, but probably has one of the better dj's spinning on a regular night. The dance floor is small & can get crowded. The line is usually very long (I highly recommend…More »
2. The Chelsea
2.0-2.5 stars
I've been here on two separate occasions, both on a Saturday night. The few things I like about it is its layout. When you first walk in, there's a nicely decorated lounge area. Walk a little further, there's a pool table; cut to the…More »
3. The Headliner
The only thing I like about this place is that it is huge. The indoor area has a large dance floor with several bars sprawled about. They also have an outdoor area with a bunch of smaller areas in between.
They primarily play house music, but it very…More »
4. Deko Lounge
I've been here a few times. The best time I've had here was their LBGT night on Friday nights (and I'm straight). The music is awesome and the crowd is fun. I literally danced 4 hours straight. The one bad thing is that girls pay cover ($15) while…More »
5. Paradise
2 straight girls + 1 gay guy friend on a Saturday night at this place = best time I've had at a Jersey club! The place itself is huge & pretty nicely decorated. I liked how there were different rooms - sports bar, club, outdoor patio/pool - so…More »
6. Park East
Hazlet, NJ 07730
(732) 739-2002
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Sports Bars,
American (Traditional)
I went on a Saturday night. Overall, I liked the idea of the place. Half a sports bar, half a lounge - everyone's happy! The place looks nice, but it was pretty dead that night. The crowd that night was a little whoa (in a negative way). The music…More »
7. D'jais Oceanview Bar & Cafe
2.5-3 stars
I went during Memorial Day Weekend (Sunday). I thought I'd be able to get stamped quickly around 8:45 PM & go meet up with friends. WRONG. It took more than 2 hours to finally get in (most people had gotten stamped earlier than that & were…More »

The place is relatively small, interior design is blah, and girls have to pay cover! We had actually… Read more »
8. Lana Lounge
I went on a Saturday night and the crowd was absolutely horrible (and I can tolerate a wide variety/different intensities of crowds). Luckily I was with a few good friends so we kept to ourselves. A few guys try to grab my friend & I "slyly" but our…More »
9. Bahama Mamas
I think it's a little grimey in here (just the overall look of the place in side). You'll catch people trying to dance on their little stage, and people trying to dance on their "dance floor". The only thing I like about this place is that they play…More »
10. Teak On The Hudson
I've only come here at night. I came here once for St. Patrick Day weekend and it was CROWDED upstairs. The music was good but the area where you can dance is so tiny that it's impossible to move. The drinks are as pricey, if not pricier than NY…More »
11. The Shannon Rose Irish Pub
3.5 Stars
St. Patty's Day 2011. I'm always skeptical about NJ spots, especially bars since I'm not much of a bar person. The line was really long but moved rather quickly. No cover which I was surprised about. No drink specials - also came as a…More »
12. Knight Club
2.5 stars
I used to go to this bar a lot when I was in college. It was much better when the back was all open & you could dance. Over the past few years, they have renovated it so there's a second bar in the back with a small DJ booth. The music still…More »
13. Maritas Cantina - CLOSED
The food is mediocre, service is okay, drinks are on the pricier side for what they give. They have a DJ on the weekends - I'm not sure if they're trying to make that area a dance floor? Most people just sit/stand around and drink.
14. Perle Night Club & Lounge
2.5 stars. If you're in the mood to go clubbing in the New Brunswick area and don't want to travel far, this is one of the few places to go. The place itself is okay. I do like how they have a split level in the bigger room and then they have a…More »
15. Moore's Tavern & Sports Bar
This place has changed a lot since I first went there about 10 years ago. The fact that it's still there after so long meant something to me, especially because restaurants come and go in the area frequently. I came here after work around 10 PM on a…More »
16. Hotoke
3.5 stars for interior decor (reminds me of Tao in NYC)
2.5 for food
Skewers platter: shrimp-good, chicken-mediocre, beef-very tough and I could've done without because it was just that bad.
The Chilean sea bass in black bean sauce & parsnip puree was…More »
17. Martell's Tiki Bar
Great place to hang out if you want to take a break from the sand & waves. I like how it's so big & has so many different areas to hang out at (beach bar, restaurant, bar, "dance" floor). I'm not one for pina coladas but they make it good & it's…More »
18. Rusty Kale's Pub
A small, "hole in the wall" feel bar in Edgewater. I was disappointed that they didn't have any happy hour specials. They didn't have too many choice of beer on tap or bottle. The good thing was it was fairly cheap for the beer. The wings didn't…More »
19. Club Karma
I went on a Saturday night, and for a Jersey shore club, it wasn't bad. I liked how the venue was so big & you could experience a little of everything (dance floor, bar, outdoor dance area, upstairs/rooftop). The music was typical and the crowd was…More »
20. The Ivy League
I have only gone on Wednesday & Thursday nights when it's not too crowded & I usually sit by the bar. It's usually just locals enjoying drinks and depending on the night, a few rounds of Bingo. The bartenders are fun if you have that kind of humor (I…More »
21. The Starland Ballroom
It's not the best looking venue, but it is one of my favorite places to watch a concert. Why? No matter where you stand - the view is amazing. It's such a small and intimate venue that there are no "bad" standing places. The bartenders are pretty…More »
22. Pilsener Haus & Biergarten
They had several beer on tap which were all pretty good. Prices were decent and the hall is small but cute. Definitely a good place to go during the winter (whereas I would recommend the Jersey City Biergarten during the summer since it's outdoor…More »
23. 1 Republik
2.5 stars
The few times I have been here, it's been rather empty. I think it's an okay place to watch the game by the bar. My sister had a specialty martini (grapefruitini) which was decent. The layout is a little awkward as they try to mesh a…More »
24. Edison Ale House
An okay sports bar in the area. Ordered some food and beer for the nfl playoffs. Raspberry habanero wings were a disappointment but the onion rings were pretty good - a bit dressed up so not something to order if you want original style rings. Garlic…More »
26. The Downtown
I have been here twice - once, upstairs, for a continuing education lecture where they provided the food (it was decent) and once while bar hopping around the area. The bar is set in the middle, in a rectangle shape and tables are set on the outer…More »
27. Red
3.5 stars but rounded up because the decor was pretty & the bartender was nice.
We headed upstairs to their lounge which was cute. It was dead since it was late on a Thursday night, but I could see this place be really nice on the weekends. They had…More »
28. 709 Point Beach
Bar review only.
I decided to have a drink since I made the trip down to get a gift certificate for a coworker. Unfortunately the late night menu was no longer being served. The overall feel and look of this place is very nice. Unfortunately we got…More »
29. The Old Bay Restaurant
During & after my years at Rutgers, I used to like coming here for an occasional drink. They're relatively cheap, the bartenders are always quick & friendly. It can get a little crowded by the bar. I had tried fried alligator and it was good. The one…More »
30. City Bistro
Came here late at night on a Thursday for a double date. We were looking for a nice place where we could enjoy drinks and be able to converse. This spot ended up being perfect. The happy hour special for that night was 1/2 off all night on beer, wine…More »
31. Allure
A little hard to find, but the big "K-Town" sign helps. The restaurant/bar itself is simple, but clean & spacious. They offer a better selection of draft beer than any other Korean place which was refreshing to see: Chimay, Dogfish, Purple Haze?! A…More »
