I came here during the World Cup after seeing this spot online for so long, and it's safe to say it did not disappoint! If you're a soccer fan, this is the place to watch the games. The atmosphere is unmatched, with an energetic and welcoming crowd and nice friendly service. They have super cool decor, with team flags and scarves lining the walls and ceiling. The food is great classic pub food, we ordered wings and fries, and they were great. The wings were perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and they offer a ton of sauce flavors. Plus, they always have different events going on, which makes it even more fun. read more

It's been a while, but always nice to come back to a local tavern in the area. It seems a lot of their TVs are pointed to soccer matches, just an opinion. Food was excellent, and the service was even better. What I don't like is minimal : there's a partition between the sit-down tables and the bar seats. Must be the way the building was built. There's an upstairs private room for parties with an airy view. read more

Local bar food friendly staff. First time there would go again. Had the races on tv which was a plus.

4.5 stars. Enjoyed dinner here last Sunday evening with friends and their kiddos. It was early enough to be family friendly (despite being a bar), and they have a limited kids menu (no pastas though). Several local beer options. I had Juan's Chicken Sandwich which was blackened chicken on garlic bread with cheddar Jack cheese and hot & sweet cherry pepper relish -- delicious and a solid portion. Wish it came with more of the relish. read more

Just the kind of neighborhood place, where I got the impression that if they don't already know you, they don't want to. Obviously lots of regulars at the bar eying up new faces, just didn't get a welcoming feel from anyone, including the stoic, business-like bartender. 2nd time there, same vibe as the 1st. Won't be a third. read more

First time here, although it's been on the list for awhile, and it's obvious why it's a neighborhood favorite. Traditional bar food and burgers in a lively atmosphere while able to keep your eye on the game broadcast on one of their screens. Beer menu included several locals that were very reasonably priced. Ordered a turkey sandwich and veggie burger. The star of the show was their huge tomatoe slices. Delicious! Would recommend going here for a bite or beer with friends. read more

My husband and I were in the area and decided to stop in to watch a Cleveland Guardians playoff game. The bartender was so welcoming and friendly..and efficient! We had a delicious meal. My husband had the chili and I had a wonderful salad. It was so fresh and had an entire perfectly grilled chicken breast! My key lime pie was absolutely amazing!! The atmosphere was friendly. Many locals meeting up for a drink. Highly recommend! read more

D'Arcy's Tavern - Sitting at the bar - American Near Me - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

Showed up as a world cup match was starting and understandably there were only standing room counter height tables left outside. Hostess offered to put our name down in case a table did leave mid game but she assumed everyone was seated for the game. We did not give our name but when a table did free up halfway through the match we were denied seating based on the establishment closing down the outside area after that game due to noise ordinances. Seems odd considering we were already there and she offered to put a name down in case a table freed up. We would have probably been inclined to order food or more drinks if we got the table. More money to the next place we went *shrug* otherwise, nice staff overall, nice atmosphere, food looked good from what I saw. read more

Food great, atmosphere great, hours of operation...perfect a Darcy pint is the best $3 beer in town read more

The food is great. The service is awesome. It has an Irish atmosphere. If you like to watch sports, it's the place to go to.

We came here while vacationing in Bradley Beach and felt like this was a very good choice. Staff was very friendly. We sat in the outdoor section and it was very comfortable. My turkey sandwich was loaded with thick slices of turkey, and the salad was very fresh. The cranberry wheat bread was delicious and soft but a harder bread might have been better for such a thick sandwich. Otherwise , a great experience. read more

This place is amazing! It's a local bar with great food. You can't go wrong with the quesadillas, grilled cheese, and cheesesteak!

Amazing vegan burger STACKED with lettuce, Jersey tomatoes, pickles and mayo. Side of fries and a beer rounds out a great lunch. The place to be for soccer/fútbol matches. read more

Great place, we opted to sit downstairs for dinner. We were seated immediately and were greeted by multiple servers who were very courteous. We ordered a few drinks and a wedge salad. Drinks were great and the wedge salad was delicious, lot of bleu cheese crumbles. Wife had the prime rib dinner and I opted for Chipotle Blue Cheeseburger. Both were cooked to our liking and everything was delicious. And again the service was wonderful. read more

I only had the beer so I cannot comment on the food, though...the reviews on that are fruitful and quite good. If you grew up in the Woodbridge-Metuchen-Edison area, you definitely hit up Hailey's on more than one occasion. D'Arcy's has the same vibe, just closer to the Jersey shore. "Football" scarves are in abundance, great crowd, great beer. What more could you ask for? The Irish are the best...or maybe I'm just a little biased. Slainte. read more

I'd give this place 4 stars. I'd lean toward 5 if they provided water cups not bottles. Not a fan of restaurants who only have bottles as water. My boyfriend and I started with a large pretzel. I liked it. He wished it had salt on it. The cheese dip and honey mustard were both good. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it. It was delicious and filling. I liked that the lettuce, pico and guac were on the side. You could place in as much as you like. Nice bar and I'm sure it's awesome during games. Definitely will return back to see a game. read more

Stopped in for lunch. They have a terrific covered patio setup. I ordered the OG Tomato Sandwich. Three thick slices of Jersey ripe tomato with just the perfect smear of mayo, generous side of chips. Service was felightful delightful! I'll be thinking of that sandwich for a while! read more

Ok on food and drinks nothing special. Area is filled with many other bars and restaurants.

The bar tenders and food are great. I love the filet mignon sliders . The onion rings are so good. The food and drinks are priced right.

This place is what an Irish pub is when you are not in Ireland . Food was top shelf . Service was attentive and very busy . Nothing short of perfection here ! Old bar diverse crowd , friendly staff and patrons . If you want to watch European football or American NFL. This place is legit ! Try it you will go back read more

Came in to watch a baseball game with a group and of friends. Sat outside with a few children and were immediately treated in a rude manner by the waitstaff. Literally the first thing the waitress said to me when we sat down was "Are you going to order something?" Like, obviously I am going to order something...it's a restaurant...and she hadn't even given me a menu yet. From that point on, every interaction was short and rude. They were rude to my children, who weren't even doing anything out of line. They were rude to an adult who had to go up to the bar since the waitress stopped coming to the table to assist us. I understand being stressed and short tempered if you're busy and the kids are acting crazy, but the place was almost empty. I cannot explain why the waitress acted like this but it ruined the experience and made us feel like we had done something wrong when we hadn't. read more

My family has been going to Darcy's since it was Barry's Tavern! The staples like Juan's chicken sandwich and the veggie panini are consistently tasty. But we usually try to branch out and try the nightly specials. The specials are always creative and a notch above the regular menu items. The last few years we've been headed over for breakfast/brunch and the PASTRAMI HASH is awesome. It's always tasty with great rye bread and it goes great with a cold miller lite or a coffee! They have a great beer selection and if it seems too loud downstairs the upstairs bar and seating is usually quieter! read more

Friendly service. Came because we wanted tavern food. Average food. Limited menu ..: think bar food. Great for any game watching I'd imagine. read more

Probably the best buffalo wings I ever had. Good deals good vibes Too bad I live 2 hours away

Came here after a day in Asbury Park. This place has been on our radar for a while now. Loved all the soccer scarves on the ceiling. This is a true soccer bar which I'm so excited about. Looking forward to returning to watch The World Cup and soccer during the Olympics. We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were friendly. I ordered a burger and M ordered a chicken sandwich. Both were great. I asked my burger to be medium and it came out more well done, but other than that everything was great. Beers were around $6 each. Wish they were a little cheaper. Cool place though. We look forward to returning to watch some soccer, football, or baseball and checking out happy hour. read more

D'Arcy's Tavern - Nice!!!!! - American Near Me - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

One of the best burgers around town! Staff is always friendly, quick service. Sports bar is good for watching games.

My friend and I had actually stumbled upon this place the first time while we were waiting for food at another spot. I liked how they have a pretty big outdoor seating. The drinks are kinda bland but the food here was pretty good for just some regular ole bar food. We ended up staying for the Sunday NFL games and it was dope here. They have tons of TVs inside and played multiple games not just the local ones. If you are looking for a specific game, this is the place to go! read more

It's been a long time since I had service this bad. The waitress came and asked us for our order four different times and still got it wrong. I think she was new and harmless which is OK. The real kicker was the hostess/maître d' Who could not have been more rude. I ordered the blackened mahi-mahi which came out panseared. They took it back and re-cooked the same fish twice with seasoning turning into a dried out slab. To insult me more she put it in a to go box and offered me to take it which I respectfully decline. Only that the other fish sandwich one of our table ordered was good that I give it two stars. I think if the manager/hostess had not been so nasty and condescending it could've been a decent night out. Shame that such poor help could ruin a restaurant that had potential. read more

D'Arcy's Tavern - Sandwich and a side salad - American Near Me - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

This place was very delicious and had overall solid food, but one thing I didn't like was when my table asked for three waters to start, the staff brought us back plastic bottles that each cost $2. This was absolutely ridiculous and including tax I spent more than I would have wanted. I don't believe I should of had to ask for a plain water cup (if you even had one, that is). So, watch out for having to potentially pay for water if you go there. I would of brought my own water if I knew I'd get charged for a bottle. I will not be coming back here unless the policy for getting water first changes (Yes that sounds silly but I didn't want to say it). read more

Great local bar vibe. Sit at large bar with TV screens or tables. Service is always quick and friendly. Good burger; a Cold beer in frosted mug. Bar can be loud at times but always friendly and never obnoxious. A More mature crowd enjoys this local spot. They have a second floor and also outside seating too! read more

Good sports bar. Known for soccer games. On Saturday was full of fans. Decent food and service.

Local favorite. We love their daily specials. Their soups are killer. We've been going there for years and recently booked their newly renovated second floor for a work event. I worked with Courtney to organize the event and Tara was our bartender that evening. They were both so amazing to work with. Our guests were all well taken care of and the food was delicious. We recommend for brunch, lunch, dinner, a quick drink, or to book an event. read more

Had such high expectations for this place. Has always been on my bucket list to watch a game at. Asked the day before if the red bull game would be on and got quick online response that it definitely would be. Got there and was surprised to see only baseball and golf on all of the tvs. I asked if they could put the game on one TV and was told no. So didn't stay. Overall, the beer selection looked mediocre with two kane mainstays, one icarus and then mix of macros. Decor was great looking for a soccer bar, but unfortunately they only pretend to be a soccer bar on the day that I tried to go there. From my follow up response that I got from the manager, I can see why others made comments about staff and manager being rude. read more

OK you're ready for the scoop! This place SUCKS! It's a soccer bar the logo on their T-shirts at the wait staff wearing has a soccer ball on it you think they would have one soccer game on everybody was watching golf and when we asked politely to put on the Red Bulls game we were told No! Really? Seriously? You can't put the soccer game on one TV. ! Worst bar EVER! Next!!! Manager is very rude as well. My only wish is that if I could give them less then a 1 star review I would. read more

Remember when Darcy's was a soccer bar and above all else played soccer that matters. Well it's the last day of the year for the EPL -Darcy's: Liverpool down 1pt and ManCity up 1pt. And you don't have the Man City game? You claim someone requested to watch a game that doesn't matter (Arsenal) they aren't playing for anything- 5 man City fans in jerseys are sitting at the table next two dudes with no support on. Come on - play the games that matter and be a soccer bar. Otherwise your are just a soft, out-of-date sports bar with over priced food. SMH read more

My daughter and I our staying in Belmar. We took a walk to Bradley Beach stumbled upon D'Arcy's Tavern for dinner. Ashley are waitress was friendly ,took time to talk with us. She explained and answered all our questions . Thai Chicken wrap was fantastic . I had the Pesto Wahoo. I have never tasted such good mash potatoes and French fries. I don't even like potatoes these were excellent . The atmosphere is classic NJ Shore tavern . It bring you a great feeling to be back down at the shore. The staff all did there jobs with a smile and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend a stop a D'Arcy's Tavern read more

What a nice place and a nice bartender! A very lively environment. Near the beach. Large outdoor seating. This place is recommendable day or night! read more

Very disappointed, great bar racist bartender. Thought by 2023 we have moved past this.
