The Ale 'N 'Wich Pub

Love this place. It isn't that close to me, so I don't go there often, but when I do, I always have a good time. (Sorry for sounding like a Dos Equis commercial).

They have pool, foosball and a pinball machine. They only cost 75 cents per game, which I think is pretty good. It is one of the better bars because you don't have loud music blasting and people grinding up on you like freshmen do at frat parties.

Beer is pretty cheap too! I think a pitcher of Yuengling is only $11. They only take cash though and they do have an ATM inside for your convenience.

I am definitely a regular but I am not a #1 fan. In terms of New Brunswick bars this one is BY FAR my favorite.

PROS:
Not Bro central which I guess to most of these reviewers equals hipster central. Sorry not everyone inside is wearing ugg boots and northface jackets/Rutgers hoodies.
Good layout, back area
Good selection of drinks

SUGGESTIONS:
I wish there were more drink specials. If some of the happy hour specials were extended during the work/school week there would be a LOT more customers.
I never like to complain about wait staff, I have even been a bartender so I KNOW how hard it is but.... sometimes the staff can be very short and off putting. I have a few friends who have stopped coming because of this.
Maybe I am crazy but often times the drinks don't seem strong enough

HOWEVER not to say this place isn't totally great. It's just the wanting perfection thing ;) When you spend so much of your time and money somewhere you want it to appreciate you.

This bar is great for people in their 20s and 30s looking to get a drink at one of the New Brunswick "college" bars... but without the d-bags. It developed the reputation of the "hipster bar," but by far my favorite bar I went to during my Rutgers years.

They have a beer called River Horse: Triple Horse, which is brewed in New Jersey and has 10% alcohol per bottle. Pretty solid tasting and friendly on the alcohol content.

The back has a smoking patio and a cool mural of the Simpsons characters.  Inside has funky decorations, a pool table, juke box, foozeball and some arcade games.

The owner is a guy name Rob who is super friendly and interacts with his guests.

They have an ATM there... but keep in mind it is a CASH ONLY bar.
