    IPA + Tina Fey cocktail
    Claire M.

    Good drinks, service, + vibes. This is a solid spot in Red Bank! Very cool interior with an upstairs and downstairs level, + a patio w/ a food truck in the back! My husband and I just stopped in for drinks after playing tennis on a Saturday. We were able to find a seat easily and were quickly served. I ordered the Tina Fey cocktail while my husband order one of the IPAs on draft. The one downfall was how small their draft beer menu was. Their food menu looked good, but we weren't quite ready for dinner, so just drinks for us! I'd love to come back to try more of their food & drinks.

    Clever Alehouse is a great, local, neighborhood restaurant. I love that is has the neighborhood vibes and is a casual place to go hangout. Wether you're on the first floor at a table, in the basement on a couch, or outside on the patio, you always feel welcome. The staff is friendly and the speed of service is perfect. Their food is great too! The queso was great, and I loved the fried tortilla chips! Our table got a mixture of items and they are shown in the photos. None of us were disappointed and would order everything again! They mix of snacks and entrees with some Asian fusion mixed into their offerings. Get the house made Kimchi slaw! They've got a good happy hour and other specials throughout the week. Trivia Night is on Wednesdays at 7! There is street parking, and a parking lot accessible on the side of the building.

    Gaburnator was great. The cheese tots oh my goodness. To is an adults dream. Happy hour 6 out 7 days. Arcade downstairs, games and lounging areas. I'll be back with a group. As always the staff is what made it. My man said tell everybody if it's good. Well it was good. Come check them out. A hidden gem.

    I kept seeing on Instagram that this new spot opened in Red Bank and decided that I had to try it! Before I went I also found it it's owned by the same people that own Bitter Alibi, so that was already a huge plus for me! We went at prime dinner time and it was absolutely packed, but we were still able to snag a small table! Service was fast and efficient and they even gave me my beer on the house! We ordered the cheesy spicy noodles and the brat flatbread and both were absolutely delicious! My one complaint about this spot is that it's not very big and it was extremely loud in there, making it hard to have conversations. All in all, I think this is a great addition to the Red Bank area and I'll definitely be back!

    Clever is owned by the folks who brought Bitter Alibi and Daily Ration to the bar/food scene. Clever is more BA than DR. It has a very neighborhood bar vibe. We tried it for dinner because we are big fans of Daily Ration. The food has some good flavors but nothing to wow me. The citrus pork ramen bowl was very flavorful but it was overwhelmed with dry, overcooked pork. My wife's chopped salad just looked sad. They're new. Give them time to get it right and it'll be a wonderful stop in Red Bank. Right now it's just eh.

    Love seeing new spots open up on Dayton Boulevard, this place is a great addition! Their menu is chalked full of goodies from ramen to flatbread sandwiches and the Breaking Bad puns are what really drew me here! The cocktails are top tier and sure to wow your taste buds. They even have outdoor seating along with inside tables and a good sized bar. I had to try some of the ramen, tue glazed pork shoulder really set it off, I'm not the biggest ginger fan but even with the dish being rather ginger forward I really enjoy it. I will say the noodles were a bit more like spaghetti like rather then authentic ramen but it was a nice twist on something classic.

    Unknown Caller was a cute, little fun vibe! We sat at the bar so the wait wasn't too long but I've…read morepassed it before and have seen a line so just be aware. The drinks were really good and the bartenders were super friendly! The food, is just snacks so you may want to eat somewhere before that, definitely more of a cocktail experience. They also have a small Photo Booth tucked away in the corner that's free and will text you the photos so make sure to check that out! Overall, will visit again.

I highly recommend the "Bartender's Choice" cocktail option--the staff is incredibly skilled, and the drinks they crafted were awesome. ​However, management needs to fix their highly deceptive checkout flow. The bar chooses not to bake Tennessee's mandatory 15% Liquor-by-the-Drink tax into their menu prices. When the bartender flips the POS tablet to pay, the system completely hides the itemized receipt. It jumps straight to a final total that includes a combined 24.25% in state and liquor taxes. ​To make matters worse, the screen presents ridiculous suggested tip options of 20%, 30%, and 40%--which are calculated on top of that heavily taxed final total rather than the subtotal. If you just tap a prompt, you end up aggressively tipping on hidden taxes. ​Come for the excellent cocktails and great bartenders, but ignore the suggested buttons and manually calculate your tip based on the actual menu price of your drinks.

    Can't recommend this cocktail bar enough!…read more We visited the bar late night while staying at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Despite clearly being short staffed and having a busy night - we were greeted almost immediately and encouraged to help ourselves to a seat. We sat at a table away from the bar (only one available) and a server came by to take our drink order. Before he could return, another employee - who was running food to another table - immediately came over to us after to see if we wanted to order food (which we did!). She took our order, then the drinks arrived and before we knew it the food was out and was incredible! The menu is quite limited - and even more so when you one of you doesn't eat meat - and yet we were able to make a meal out of 2 caesar salads, the hummus plate and the deviled eggs. And don't even get me started on the cocktails! We started with a Manhattan and an Espresso Martini that were perfectly crafted. And then for our dessert round switched to their signature Old Fashioned. Each one was better than the next! Thanks for an incredible time, Whiskey Thief. We will definitely we back!

If you want outdoor seating, get here early because space outside is limited. Inside, there's plenty of seating options with high-top tables, couches, and bar seating that create a relaxed atmosphere. We came mainly for the view and drinks, and the view absolutely delivered. Watching the sunset over the river was easily the highlight of the experience and worth seeing at least once. For drinks, we ordered Old Fashioneds and Margaritas. Unfortunately, both were just average and didn't live up to the setting or atmosphere. Service was also disappointing. The staff was not very attentive, and at one point we actually had to leave our table and go to the bar to find our waiter. In the end, the incredible view couldn't make up for the mediocre drinks and poor service. Great view, but this ended up being a one-and-done visit for us.
