I come here for happy hour with my friends after a long day. It's like cheers. The bartenders know the orders and treat us like friends. Â It's a regulars place, but they do welcome new friends. Â They have a free buffet with Thursday and Friday happy hours. the food is good not great, but it's nice to help sober up when drinking. Â It's super casual, so sweats, jeans, whatever works. Â A lot of business men and lawyers stop in after work, so really anything flys. Â Definitely worth the casual happy hour when in the area!
Review Source:Since my initial review of this place, we've more or less made it a regular stop on our roundtable of restaurants, hitting it at least once a month, if not more. Â
Our latest trips was last Wednesday evening, arriving around 7:45. bar side had a good crowd but the restaurant side was fairly quite with only 2 other occupied tables. Â Â
This night we started with the potato skins and a dozen steamers as our appys.
The appetizers here are generally just OK. Â The potato skins are standard bar fair, Â edible but nothing to write home about. I was a bit hesitant about ordering the clams mostly because I was not wild about the one other seafood appy I had ordered previously, the crab cakes. But I'd been on a clam kick that week and and Jr. wanted a couple so I thought "what the hell."
These things were outstanding!!! I mean there were 12 or 13 nice sized little necks but the thing that made this dish was the broth they were served in. This stuff was absolute KILLER! Just having soaked in this stuff for a few minutes made these clams an absolute joy to consume. Â Even my wife, who can't stand seafood, or anything that been in close proximity to seafood was soaking bread in it a wolfing it down!
My wife, having been a bit disappointed with a Chicken Piccata she had ordered elsewhere earlier in the week saw it was on the specials menu here and decided to give theirs a try. She raved over it, Said it was "delicious." And getting anything better than "nice" out of her is an accomplishment.
My son ordered his standard sliced steak sandwich which he didn't really comment on but which I guess was up to their usual standards as the thing disappeared in about 8.6 seconds.
I ordered my usual Broiled Sole. Â I noticed that another reviewer mentioned that the seafood here can be hit or miss. I have to say this has not been my experience. I pretty much order the same entree every time I'm here and have yet to have a bad one. In fact, I come here specifically for that dish. Whenever I'm in the mood for sole, General Poors is where I head. Yes, I have thought that it has been slightly better on occasion than a couple of other occasions (when the fish might have been the slightest bit overcooked) but it has never been bad, not even close.
We will definitely continue to be regulars here and I continue to wholeheartedly recommend the place.
For a pub, this is a pretty great place. 3.5 stars.
I've only been to the restaurant (i.e., I have no clue what the social/ bar scene is like), and have always been completely happy with whatever I order. Â Today, I got the cheesesteak sandwich. I was expecting thin sliced steak, cooked well, as usual, until they asked how I wanted my steak cooked. It came to me a perfect medium rare and was flavorful and delicious.
In the past, I've had their turkey or roast beef sandwiches/ wraps, fries and other bar food type things, and have never been disappointed. Always good service.
No delivery, no parking. Â It's a bit expensive for a regular lunch joint if you work close to the courthouse, and prepare to run into lots of lawyers/ judges.
Best dive bar ive come across in the area. Â 4 dollar pitchers of Coors and yuengling Saturday and bud light on Fridays. Â cant beat those prices. Â Food is good too. Â Clams were very fresh and delicious. Â only 50 cents each. Â Buffalo chicken sandwich had good kick to it. Â and the beef tacos were well.. beef tacos nothing special. Â but delicous as well. Â Burgers looked good and are served on rolls instead of buns.
Review Source:Poor's has been in business for decades because they keep a decent lunch and happy hour crowd. Â I wouldn't really recommend for late night because parking isn't that convenient.
The worn wood adds character because it has deteriorated through the years of operating on Main St. Â Most of the menu is fine. Â Seafood dishes can be hit and miss depending on when they receive their food shipment.
I come here because it's a midpoint as far as location is concerned and the drink prices are manageable. Â
Put it on my tab...
General Poors has become my new local dive bar hangout. Â Drinks are cheap, its not too crowded, pool table, darts, beer pong and they have a lot of tv's for games.
I've had the food a couple times and it's your average bar food. Â I wouldn't recommend the wings because they give you a really small portion and they're just ok. Â The burgers are pretty good though.
I have to tread carefully with this review b/c I frequent this place due to its proximity from my work (across the street). Â The last thing I need is secret sauce in my burger/salad/beer (reference NL Van Wilder).
Anyhow, it is a decent bar/restaurant with good food and beer selection. Â But the place could be so much better if they spent some $ and renovated it a little. Â The bathroom would be the first place to start.
Poors does not have that charming Irish dive-bar feel, a la Harley's. Â Nor is it as nice/upscale as Poitin Still. Â Poors falls somewhere in between and therefore, lacks an identity. Â But if you are in the area and need a solid place for beers/burgers/salad, Poors will do just fine.
The first thing to understand about this bar is that it's in Hackensack. Â That being said, there was a nice crowd around happy hour Friday night, with a range of ages and archetypes (from the skater-punk to the casually suited young profesh) crowded around the U-shaped wooden bar. Â Plenty on tap -- I saw a seasonal Sam Adams, Magic Hat, and Guinness (there were more) -- and people seemed to be enjoying their cocktails and bottled domestics. There were plenty of high-tops lining the walls, with plenty of flat-screens floating above (sports, sports, more sports, news).
There were some free apps -- wings, fries, etc. -- in the back (there's an entire restaurant portion of this joint that I barely got a glance at) that people were self-serving from (happy hour special?). Â We ordered food -- my friend had the black angus burger, i had the tuna club (no bacon). Both came with shoestring fries and were pretty darn good for bar food, though certainly nothing to write home about.
Pros: really friendly crowd, attentive bar tenders, decent vibe
Cons: bathroom was NASTY, food was just okay, its in jersey
