You start off with 2 sauces for dipping the complimentary tortilla chips. Not like Tostitos, but thick and crispy! So yummy! Watch out because the sauces have a kick. I ordered a horchata which is great with lots of cinnamon. There's so many drink options from frozen to on the rocks. Full bar is available. Now for the food... I ordered flauntas con pollo and they were perfectly fried, topped with cheese & crema. The best I ever had. My husband got a huge burrito so overstuffed that it's 2 meals. The dinners are plated with guacamole and pico de gallo. The guacamole is so delicious and feels homemade. The pico was bland and lacking something but we'll let that slide. Overall, 10/10 for ambiance, service, portion size, food taste & quality.

Like nachos but they use kettle chips rather than tortilla chips. A baked Reuben dip (a special)--so cheesy and savory! A soft baked pretzel--perfect for sharing. Came with a spicy mustard! Then came the real Irish classics -- Irish sausage rolls--thick sausage wrapped in a pastry, a great comfort snack. Shepherds pie--a mix of ground beef and lamb. This was savory and perfect for a cold March day! Fish and chips--the BIGGEST fish ever and it was so light and battered well. And if you're a sandwich person, you have to try The Rail Bender which was a huge sandwich with mouthwatering beef brisket, and came with a savory au jus for dipping. For drinks, we went full Irish with their St. Paddy's day specials: Irish Lucky Charm, Irish Maid, and a Jameson Orange Creamsicle that tasted like dessert. If you're looking for the perfect spot to celebrate St. Patrick's Day all year round, this place absolutely delivers. The service was warm and friendly and was a welcoming place in Spring Lake!

The beer here is simply outstanding. If you are scouring the Garden State for the best beer…read morepossible, you're in the right spot. But I'll get to that in a moment. The taproom is on another level as well. One might say it resembles a millennial hipster fever dream, but being a millennial myself I say it is incredibly well thought out and designed. Housed in a former manufacturing facility for a company that made military telecommunications equipment, there are so many different spaces all under one roof. A bar in the front room and a bar in the back room. A small 21+ lounge with couches in the front, and a giant 21+ "sports zone" with three giant TV's in the back. Three coolers for beer to go. A large merch area. High top tables. Regular tables. Immaculate bathrooms. This place has it all. My girlfriend and I came out on a Saturday afternoon when the place was packed with families and their kids. There was a toddler in the small 21+ lounge and a baby in the sports zone, and only two people pouring beers so they were unable to notice and do anything about it. We don't mind kids in breweries but be advised if that isn't your thing. To the beer: according to their website, they specialize in hoppy beers. There were 13 beers on tap (with some being slight variations of each other). One lager, four stouts, and the rest IPAs. They don't do flights but will pour you two sample sizes at a time, and you'll need those sample sizes for most beers because the ABV will knock you off your feet. I love IPAs and I can easily say they knocked these out of the park. The standout to me was the Birdie Putt, which they didn't have available in cans to go, so we got a four pack of the Ground Rule Triple instead. Founder Jeff Baker spent years honing his brewing skills in his garage before opening the brewery in 2023, and his dedication and passion really show in all of the beers. We live over an hour away, but we will definitely make the pilgrimage back sometime soon.

If this brewery were in Hopewell, Troon wouldn't stand a chance…read more This place clearly specialises in hazy IPAs, and it shows in both quality and range. The tap list is smartly organised by style--pale ale, IPA, double IPA, triple IPA, and even quad IPA--making it easy to navigate whether you want something approachable or fully saturated. On my visit there were also a handful of non-IPA options, including three stouts and two lagers, one of which was a dark lager, so there's still something for everyone. The space itself sets it apart: a large, open taproom with ample seating, plus a second taproom ideal for hosting events. There's a strong to-go game as well, with two coolers packed with cans. In warmer months, the outdoor areas add even more room to spread out and linger. Clean, well-maintained bathrooms round things out. A destination brewery that takes hazy IPA seriously and backs it up with the space and execution to match.

To the outside, this might look like just another bar. But to regulars and newbies, this is…read moreactually a hidden gem in Spring Lake Heights! They do have excellent bar food such as flatbreads, wings, and large pretzels, but we were impressed with their stuffed shrimp entree, drunken clams, and more. We heard the short rib sliders were a favorite, so the staff listened to their patrons and created a whole short rib burger to be added to the menu. I really like when a restaurant deeply takes into consideration the needs and wants of their patrons! It says a lot about how they operate the business. Please end your meal with the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was so chocolatey, soft and decadent. It's a must. The service was phenomenal and very prompt. We also liked the many tvs and different seating options there, as well as the cozy intimate bar atmosphere. Definitely hope to come back soon next time I'm in the area!

We sat at a table looking at our menus, watching the open kitchen cook. We were given a pitcher of water and waiting a very long time for our drinks. What seemed to be the owner was a very nice woman taking all the orders. Very frazzled. We got the Blarney Balls, very good and just what u want, Irish nachos, came out burnt, plastic nacho cheese and some green onions, cheese curds, can't go wrong with cheese curds, and the clams. Oh also a bowl of cheddar broccoli which came out cold and we had to send back to be put into the oven. I say this with every bar I've gone to, get bar food. Cheese curds yes, wings yes, our wings were crispy and had no flavor. We had to ask for extra sauce bc they just tasted like chicken. I'm sure their handhelds would be excellent but I didn't partake so I can't say if they were or not. OMG if I hear another fricken plate get smashed. It seemed as if the chef DIDNT wanna be there.
