Love this place. It's basically north-western NJ's local "dead bar". I'll always be here for all the Dead cover bands. Diamond Eye Jack, This Old Engine, and whoever else they can book. Good beer selection. Fair prices. Chill and laid-back staff. Great crowd. I wish they took out a few tables to make more dance floor space though. It seems like we always need more dance floor space. I wish they'd start booking some real deal bluegrass bands, some blues singers, and maybe a bit of jazz though But literally, I love this place. It's family. It's home.

Last night I caught Diamond Eye Jack's first set; good crowd and fast service at the bar. Not as good as the outdoor stage, but the weather has been cooperating :(

One of the last great roadhouse bars in New Jersey. Awesome staff! Florida guitar legend Raiford Starke totally ripped it up last weekend - a "must see" performer!!!

Best open mic night every Wednesday featuring Joe and his incredible talented backing band. They make you sound full and professional and the crowd is very appreciative and knowledgeable!
