Jay's Elbow Room

Ultimate dive bar.  'Nuff said.  Dark, old, lots of characters.  Cheap beer, cheap women, cheap eats.

Nachos come on a g*ddamn cookie tray.  It's a monstrous portion fit for sharing with three other people, minimum.  If you order them as takeout, they come in a g*ddamn pizza box.

Wings are good as well.  Don't let the decor scare you, everyone is nice.  Don't make any stupid demands of the bartenders.  Don't ask for dumb, girly mixed drinks.  This is a beer and shot bar.  You'll be looked at sideways!

THIS...is "old school" which are hard to find anymore!!!!  I love it because this will soon be a "once was" like so many things in our country and will be missed when it happens!!!!

HOLY. DIVE...er.

This is about as divey as you get. Jay's Elbow Room is a regionally renowned hot mess with cheap beer and terribly good bar grub.

Classy, it is not. But it's probably the cheapest drinking experience you've had in a while and their nachos, served on an elegant spread of tin foil, are pretty darn bomb!! This place is like a mini-reunion for anyone who went to school in South Jersey, which is a good or bad thing depending on your high school experience.

If you're not looking for a high brow experience, but wouldn't mind a night of drinking and dinner for under $15, then welcome to heaven.
