Flat Iron Tavern - The bar - Bars Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

Burger had no taste. Had a Dixie cup full of soda for $2.50! Service was good but the new owners are not keeping it up like the previous ones. Men's room had graffiti on walls and was not too clean. Sadly this Perth Amboy landmark has seen better days. Won't be returning. read more

Flat Iron Tavern - Updated menu - Bars Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

Ahh the Flat. Every town should have a bar like this. I am so thankful that I have been introduced to this place as it is quickly becoming one of my favorite bars in the area. Forget fancy martinis and craft beer. You aren't getting it here. This is the kind of place where you come for a burger and a cold beer. Speaking of burgers, this is among the best you will ever have. Don't believe me? Order the Lumberjack and then come talk to me. If we weren't friends before, we are now. If you're lucky enough to come in on a night that Liz is working, you are in luck as she is one of the best bartenders that I have ever had. I swear she has eyes in the back of her head and knows as soon as you have an empty glass. This is as local as a local bar can get, meaning it can be packed or dead depending on when you visit as a lot of people stop by when their shifts end. Not a bad place to unwind. Come for the burger, order a green tea shot or two, play some tunes on the jukebox and get to know the guys and girls on both sides of the bar. I can guarantee it will be a fun night out. read more

Flat Iron Tavern - Lumbarjack burger. Yep that's pork roll. You know you want it. - Bars Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

See all

A great find! This was a bright, friendly bar, and when I say friendly I am talking really friendly bartenders who were on us in a second and a seemingly nice group of customers. There is a pool table in the back and some additional seating. We ordered food and some beers. I got a towering BLT and the husband got chicken fingers. Both were around $7 and terrific, both in taste and quantity of food. This is another place for the rotation, see ya soon Flat Iron! read more

Their bartenders are totally incompetent and RUDE!!! Messed up drink orders and overcharged our bill. I witnessed a bartender drinking behind the bar! I will not be returning. read more

As a dive bar connoisseur my never ending quest to achieve dive nirvana continues. Today depositing me smack dab in the middle of Perth Amboy. Brewbaker on my mind and taste buds & good ole Yelp quenched my dive thirst. To make my acceptable dive list affordability or in other words cheap must be the moniker. $3 cold domestic drafts, Cha ching! A half oval long 15 seat bar awaits your rump. 7 drafts choices on tap, yes it's always all about the draft which must be frost bite or go home to mommy. Cha Ching! Now one must fill thee gullet to maintain certain levels of of nutritional gluttony whilst pounding additional mass quantities of the nectar of draft gods. Nothing on the menu is over $8 other than Alaskans at $23 & shrimp cocktail (12 large) @ $11 OMG! From our meer sampling of pork roll, cocktail, Turkey club & BLT it all rocked. Friendly service and clean. Pool table in the back. I will be back to consider a rating raise. So perhaps not the dive Garden of Eden, but worthy of an add to your mid day or evening or late night crawl, baby. read more

Stopped by here today to get a drink. They had fresh caught mahi mahi tacos. They were slammin. Friendly staff. Good drinks! read more

Flat Iron Tavern - people sitting at the bar - Bars Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

Not what it used to be. New management has ruined what used to be good experience. Food and drink prices have gone up and the place has lost its luster. Will NOT be returning. read more

I have been coming here for years and love this place. The food, friendly bar tenders, reasonable prices. Unfortunately they have new owners, my regular bill doubled. I can understand raising the prices a bit but now I might as well go to the larger chains like Miller's for what you pay. Worst of all we had a gift card for 20 dollars and the new owner did not honor it. So for 20 dollars you just lost long time customers that would have returned for the food and great bar tenders even if the prices-did go up. read more

New owner , new staff. Failure is imminent, what a shame that this iconic landmark in Perth amboy has gone to ruins. All the prices have gone up, they are looking to cater to a totally different crowd than the typical "cheers" style family pub that it was. Untrained, unfriendly staff, and owner and a $20 minimum on credit card for a hole in the wall bar is outrageous (no posted signage stating this either) sadly this place is not what it used to be. On to the next... read more

Great drinks and food!! Must try the lumber jack burger!!! Over all good spot to chill!! read more

Flat Iron Tavern - a sign for flat iron wine and spirits - Bars Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

The best place in Perth Amboy. Open to everyone friendly staff and good food. Very good beer selection and great drinks. Worth looking for a parking spot if it's busy. read more

It had been years since I walked through the doors of the Flat Iron. I used to live in Perth Amboy and we would come here. Not often, but enough that I developed a deep like for this place. I met a friend and former roommate here who still lives in town. We came over just to have a few beers, but I was very tempted to get a burger. From what I remember they are greasy and good here, but I decided against it. The beers are pretty inexpensive here. The place was actually pretty packed for a Tuesday night as there was a large group here for a birthday. They seemed to be pretty rowdy. Aside from that I imagine most of the rest of the people here were locals. It is that kind of bar. read more

First time at this place yesterday. Bartender was attentive never had to get her attention, she keep checking on me. Ordered a drink and buffalo wings with fries. Food came out quick and was good. No complaints, I'll be back. read more

Great food, strong drinks, good company and friendly bartenders. What more could you ask for?

The Flat Iron is a great place for strong drinks at a very reasonable price when you want to have fun but not spend hours worrying about what to wear. It has a very old school feel in a good way. This place is full of locals and regulars, with a very Cheers feel to it. If you come often enough, everyone WILL know your name. Very laid back, friendly patrons and bartenders and delicious fried foods of all varieties. I recommend the waffle fries or the broccoli cheese poppers. read more

Cheap beer. Good burger. Not busy on a Wednesday. Took 20 mins to make burger

Would come to this place all the time. Great food. New owners. Prices went up. And they charged me for ice for my drink... won't be going back. Will be going to Millers now for drinks. The flat iron is about to fall flat on its face. read more

Food is great. Clean and friendly environment. Both Jill and Liz rock!!!!!

The Flat Iron "Was" a great place until the new owners. Different crowd, younger more rowdy. Bartender was stoned out his mind, we ordered food and after 20 minutes no one even put anything on the grill. Owner was drunk, there was a girl behind the bar who couldn't have been more than 16 yrs old attempting to bar tend. So many things wrong with this place now i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on Bar Rescue in a few months. Our once local fave spot it is no more, no thanks i will pass. read more

One of the few bars I go to in my hometown. Good food at relatively cheap prices, so I have no complaint there. Also a very good selection of bottled beer. Some good draughts, too, but if you're a beer aficionado then you'll want to check out the bottle selection. Can get a little crowded in the bar area, as the building is on an island and shrinks into a triangle. Jukebox is decent, stay away from the pool table. A good bar, nonetheless. read more

The bar atmosphere is great; modestly priced drinks, and a friendly bar staff. The food is decent as well. They have a Touch Tunes jukebox, but beware: the middle aged female bartender prefers to play next anyone who puts their own money into the jukebox. So, be willing to spend more cash to play next every song yourself. Still, this is a great bar for the area. read more

The Flat Iron Tavern is the type of dive bar every town has but only the locals know how great it is. Some of the best bar food you can find and the drinks are cheap. If you're in Perth Amboy hanging out with friends this is the kind of place you want. read more

I have not been here in years but let me tell you, the BEST king crab legs I have ever had in my life !!!! Very friendly staff. I have sent many people here for the crab legs and they couldn't agree more. My boss will be in the area tonight and I told him to go here. read more
