North Brunswick Pub-Bar

There's no one thing wrong with the North Brunswick Pub. It's mostly fine for what it is. I think I've just outgrown it. (Which is an odd thing to say since there's no shortage of older folks hanging out here.) I generally like really classy lounges, or I like really divey bars. Anything in between tends to underwhelm me. The Pub falls into that latter category.

There's a lot of favorable reviews here by people who "used to hang at the BBW" - the local's code for Buffalo Wild Wings. Well, that says a lot. I'm not a fan of BBW, or the crowd. And as that young and amateurish BBW crowd has slowly managed to become fixtures at the Pub, I've found the Pub to be less and less desirable to hang out at. It's a neighborhood bar, to be sure. But it lacks that cozy, friendly neighborhood-y bar vibe that a good neighborhood bar typically has. I don't mind coming here from time to time, but I almost always leave wondering whether I really had a good time. The place just isn't that conducive to having one, unless of course you have ADD and like to watch 20 televised sporting events at once.

Me? Not so much.

Unlike Cheers this is not a bar where everyone knows your name. For a local watering hole this place has a surisingly very cold feel never a buy back and the food is average. I'm not a fan.

Good food, friendly staff, and great for football and sports in general.
