Pretty chill spot in Elizabeth and this bar usually completes my hop from Kennedy's to Jacks and back to P Stone. The beer is a good selection with plenty of classic domestics as well as some lesser-known brands, perfect to satisfy your entire group.
The outside patio area has a good vibe and is really laid back. It's typically hard to snag a table but most patios are during the summer. They have live music outside a good bit - while I love a live band, the tables are all quite close to the stage (as it's not a huge outside area) so really hard to carry on a conversation when the band is jamming out.
The food is bar food so you pretty much know what you are getting when you order. Don't get me wrong, it's good but nothing I'd crave or suggest for dinner. The only thing that bothers me here is the service is so hit or miss. One night my lovely friend Krysten and myself sat at the only available table on the patio trying to order drinks. I can understand a busy server but she literally never came to the table. Ever. And just kept walking by. We waited for about a solid 10 minutes before we both said forget it and moved inside. We then posted up at a booth in the corner and once again waited for our server... low and behold, no server to be found. Seriously?! So I walked to the bar, ordered drinks and the bartender was nice enough to take care of us even though she wasn't working the tables. Eventually we found out from the bartender that the server 'didn't see us there'. Right.... and on other occasions it's just been slow getting drinks. And food. And our tabs.
Positive side note though, while other patios are elevated, this one sits street level and is prime time for people watching.
