Unfortunately we don't have any pictures to post at this time but this little ice cream spot has never failed even with the whole Covid situation. Best ice cream in the are hands down. read more

Ice cream is very good. Plenty of varieties. Very little seating outside. I found it too cold to eat inside. Nice environment. read more

Halo Pub - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hamilton Square, New Jersey

Went on a Saturday night. Very loud with the music they have for such a small place. You can't really see the flavors until your ready to order. There is a lot of chaos in the way the line is and able to see all the flavors in the cases. They need to have a sign or daily menu of flavors. Got the chocolate peanut butter with chocolate Heath toffee which was very good but my friend got the coffee Heath toffee flavor. The toffee tasted and had the consistency of cardboard. Definitely had a different consistency then the chocolate Heath toffee. It was just an ok experience. Not sure I would go back. read more

Whether Halo Pub is made up to look like a 17th Century English pub, or the inside of an old British man-o-war ship of the line, it certainly pulls you out of contemporary reality and into a set for Masterpiece Theatre (ie, Poldark). It is definitely an attractive curiosity. More important are the 48 flavors on display in the long line of freezers that separate the work area from the public zone. That's a lot of ice cream to keep in inventory, and but for their own manufacturing capacity at their Trenton (Lawrenceville?) Halo Farms property, it probably would not be possible to maintain such a high profile. Luckily, they can and they do, and we are the beneficiaries of their production ability. Halo Farms ice cream is very, very good. It is creamy smooth, and never does it skimp on ingredients. If you want Cashew Caramel and Black Cherry as I did, then your scoops will be loaded with cashew pieces and salted caramel, and several crushed cherries well mixed into those offerings. The flavors will be full bore. Ice cream is one of those super personal taste things, like pizza and guacamole. Halo isn't the best I ever tasted, but it is a strong candidate for my top twenty. It does get extra credit for the exceptional environment it creates in its Hamilton shop. read more

Jacob is a great employee was on time was a great person and gave me a free scoop food was great ambiance was AWSOME

What a cool concept, an ice cream pub that definitely made me feel like I was at an old ice cream parlor. The place is well decorated in order to keep a really fun, pub like atmosphere. There were so many flavors, and they were all good so it was tough to make a decision. Thankfully the guys behind the counter helped us out and also let us choose two flavors so we could get everything we wanted. They ice cream was nice and light and tasted pretty fresh. The coffee Heath bar flavor was delicious. The mint unfortunately, tasted really really artificial/mentholly. This was a little more expensive than some of the other dairy ice cream places I have been to, but it's very unique with tons of flavor options, so I would definitely stop by again if I'm ever in the area. read more

I love Halo Pub in Princeton. Halo Pub in Hamilton is just as good, and with free parking!. They're also open until about 10pm, as well, even though the windows are dark and it always looks like they're closed. read more

Great Ice cream lots of choices with white Flavors is chocolate butter pecan cookies and lots of interesting flavors Saturday nights the have music today 6/8/2019 after the music started is was so LOUD that they could not take your order I have a decibel app on my phone the sound level was over 90 dB and max of 101 dB I would not going there on Saturday after 7 It ruined the atmosphere read more

It was our 1st place and my son had strawberry icecream and I had a vanilla choco almond and both were delicious The staff was so courteous and the price was so reasonable cheap We would definitely come again read more

Bring your whole paycheck to buy ice cream for your family. This place it's not worth your time.

This isn't my first rodeo at a Halo Pub, but its by far my favorite location so far. The Hamilton location is a little smaller than the others but somehow manages to feel less cramped, theres occasional live music, friendly staff, and a dedication to maintaining that 10:30 PM close time. The decor here is truly marvelous and barn themed with cowbells hanging in places, and scoopers being used as wall art, everything is wooden and barn themed, and the atmosphere is super chill. Went here with a couple of buddies and tried a shake from a Halo pub for a first time, went with a chocolate peanut-butter shake, and MY GOD. Let me start off by saying rather than their normal milk, when ordering a chocolate shake, they use halo farms chocolate milk, which is the most unfair advantage in the world. Halo Farms chocolate milk is like ambrosia, food of the gods- and so far the uncontested king of chocolate milk according to my taste buds. Their chocolate peanut butter ice cream? Also quite good from the shake i drank, but i haven't actually had a scoop just yet (That will change soon i assure you.) As with all Halo Pub's there is an obvious price premium over halo farms, which is sad, but justifiable given the staff and labor required to serve the items. Needless to say, Yes, i would highly recommend the chocolate peanut butter shake. Flavor & Presentation 4.5/5 | Speed & Service 4.5/5 | Pricing & Portions 3/5 Overall 4/5 read more

Best ice cream parlour in Trenton/Princeton area. Large selection of flavors of ice cream made in Trenton. Have ice cream pubs in Robbinsville and Princeton--I highly recommend both. read more

I've been going to Halo Pub for decades, but after five of the last six trips there returning empty handed because every single low or non-fat yogurt was out I will not be returning. In the past you might not get your favorite flavor, but there were other low/n fat options. I've went different days and times with little luck. read more

I love the Halo Farms ice cream found here at the Halo Pub. Overall, the quality of ice cream served here is excellent although some of the less popular flavors often have ice crystals which is a disappointment. There's a good amount of parking but the two entrances makes for a confusing line to put in your order. A great addition would be a board with the flavors available, customers have to look into the cases to see the flavors. Since there are so many (yea!) but the area is tight this makes it challenging. Very popular, be prepared for a little wait during the rush hours, but the staff is usually quite friendly and helpful. read more

This ice cream spot is amazing!!! All their ice cream is freshly made and the service is amazing! If you love chocolate ice cream, this place will not disappoint! With so many add-ons to choose from and cool flavors they have something for every fam member/ friends. Other than the amazing flavors, the place is super cute and cozy! read more

The feel of this ice cream shop is very much like an old bar or an old local restaurant. It's got the potential to be great but the most important thing with any food is that it is fresh. Without fresh food you will loose. We tried the soft serve vanilla, soft serve peanut butter, coffee chocolate covered almonds and chocolate chocolate chip. Starting with the vanilla soft serve..... it wasn't creamy or smooth and it was full of ice chips. Soft serve peanut butter was gritty, full of ice chips and not smooth or creamy at all. Also had a undissolved sugar texture to it. Both soft serves immediately started dripping and falling off the cones as soon as I got them. Both the coffee and chocolate hard ice creams were smoother and creamier however they were both full of ice and not completely smooth. It's my experience with even the best quality ice cream, if it's frozen for too long like maybe 3 months then it becomes full of ice chips and looses its creamyness. Kinda develops a gritty texture. I don't know if this is just watered down milky ice cream or it's all old and they don't make anything fresh or if this was just a bad day....... I'm not sure but my gut says it's old ice cream and We won't be going back. You should try BORDENTOWN creamery if you can make the trip. Well worth the trip. read more

If you ever want a good local ice cream place that is extremely reasonably priced, this is the place to come. All of the flavors are delicious and locally made. My favorites are the chocolate chip cookie dough and the mint chip. The vanilla in the ice cream is deliciously smooth and creamy. And if you love the ice cream, check out halo farm and get 3 pints for $6.60 of the same ice cream. read more

To the reviewer from Princeton who claimed to be an ice cream connoisseur and did not like this place. Madam, you are no connoisseur of ice cream.The ambience is fantastic and on the night we went there was live jazz. The ice cream was fresh. I ordered a scoop of coffee chocolate almond and chocolate cherry. Both ice cream's were filled with their respective Flavors and absolutely delicious. This is by far my favorite place now short of Berthillons in Paris. read more

I'm so disappointed writing this, it was such a letdown, I wish we knew before stopping. We used to come to this place whenever we were in town years ago, I always remembered it being REALLY good. Well, we were passing through the state and decided we wanted some ice cream. We drove a little over ten minutes out our way to get here only to be very disappointed. The service was subpar, kid wasn't overly friendly but he wasn't rude either. You couldn't sample any ice cream so it was a blind guess as to what to get if you've never had the flavor before. I usually go for mint chocolate chip, which they didn't have, so I got mint cookies and cream. The prices are VERY high, at least for what you get. one tiny, and I mean SMALL, scoop of ice cream was $4.35. It was a hollow skimpy scoop, but whatever we stopped there and it was always really good. We got two smalls and the total was $8.70. I wasn't too bothered yet because even though it was expensive, it could've been justified if it was good ice cream. But no, to make things worse, it wasn't even good. It tasted like cheap ice milk and barely had any cream or substance to it, like it used to have. It was a little gritty/icy and just not very good or worth the money they were asking for it. I thought maybe it was just my flavor, but the other one we got (mocha) was the same way sadly. In my opinion this place was very over priced and just not worth the quality, quantity or experience anymore. It was a waste of time to go here instead of an ice cream place closer to where we got off the highway. I wish i grabbed a picture of it before i started eating, but only have of it half eaten which wouldn't be reflective of the actual size. Don't think I'll be going back in the future read more

First time visiting with my girlfriend and was thoroughly impressed. Top two milkshakes we've had. I ordered the mint cookies and cream and my lovely gf ordered chocolate peanut butter. Very creamy ice cream and amazing flavor. They sell neat coffee drinks and have over 40 different flavors selling take out cartons with homemade ice cream as well. The inside has pretty cool seating and pictures. We just found our new ice cream spot! read more

Good quality local ice cream- combined with low priced coffee options + low cost ice cream= I'm a fan!

Do you like frozen cow's milk with sugar and flavoring? Halo is your spot. Trust me. They have lots of that and it's well worth the wait. You might even catch some live music while you're there. read more

Multiple times have come to this location & they are supposed to open at 3pm but they still have door locked well after 3pm while cars/people clearly wait out front. Poor business practice especially since area schools get out at 2:30pm, they are losing business to Rita's. Shame. read more

One or 2 scoops?" Is this enough words? Literally, a long line for only 1 or 2 scoops, had to go through line twice! Enjoyed the scoops but price and portion size was a disappointment, read more

Probably the best ice cream I've ever had. I used to occasionally visit Halo Pub since it's a bit out the way for me, but I got to say worth the trip every time. I've been getting ice cream from different vendors in Princeton, Hightstown, Cranbury lately, they don't live up to Halo Pub. Prices are reasonable, portions are good but most importantly, great consistency and BURSTING with flavor. I'm a big fan of the Tahiti Vanilla and Cookie Dough Ice cream. Gooood stuff. read more

I classify myself as an ice cream connoisseur - the ice cream wasn't creamy at all and seemed a bit icee and watery - overall I wasn't thrilled with the flavor selection nor the customer service person who served me. read more

Im honestly really upset that i even have to write this, and this is the first negative review i have ever posted. I was treated with such disrespect by one of the two workers there. There was nobody else in the shop but us. I politely asked if they have a credit card minimum as some places will charge a service fee for under a certain amount. She looked at me like i had 5 heads and pretty much rolled her eyes at me as if this was the most absurd question. She said "minimum?!" In a rude tone. I then explained to her that some places do. After that awkward encounter as i finished paying, she slammed the register drawer and stormed away before i even got the chance to say thank you. Extremely unprofessional and overall uncomfortable experience. I understand we all have bad days but i have been a waitress for 5 years and even on my worst day would never treat a paying customer like this. I unfortunately will not be returning to this location. read more

One of the best atmospheres around, and certainly the best ice cream. We love having cones and eating there, as well as getting takeout pints for home. The interior aesthetic is so cool and the kids love the long ice cream "bar". read more

One of my cousin's who lives near the area, swears by the ice cream here. She felt like she was really talking it up during the car ride and then was worried we would not enjoy the ice cream here haha! We went in around 8pm on a Saturday and the lines were a little long but went by really quickly. I tried a few samples before deciding on coffee heath bar. I love heath bar and I love coffee flavor so I knew I would not be disappointed. The thing about places like Halo Pub - you can taste the freshness. The calories are worth every bite when it's this fresh. It's a cute set up here too, they have a live band on Saturday, but I believe from 9-11 and we left before they started. You must try the ice cream here if you are in the area! Also they use to only accept cash but now they do take credit card! read more

I love the ice cream, it's cheap and good. However. This is a small, dingy place. WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO LET BANDS PLAY HERE?! ...I have literally yell in the cashiers ear to place order, finally I just had to type it up on my phone. The band literally plays right behind the cash register. It's a horrible set up. Stop trying to make this the next 'hang out.' It's an ice cream parlor. With cows hanging all over. No teens will think that's cool. Ever. So ditch the band. And just focus on ice cream. The band sucks anyway. read more

Do you love Ben & Jerry's? Do you love money? If you said yes to both of these questions, you deserve to check out Halo Pub. Halo has ice cream that's on par with Ben & Jerry's at supermarket brand prices. One of the few saving graces of the town where I grew up, Halo became a staple during my high school years. Just as I now like to meet with people over a pint of beer, it was great to have a place to get together with high school friends where you could enjoy ice cream and have a good time. Even though high school was pretty sucky at times, I sometimes yearn for those simpler days. read more

Halo pub is not a biker bar (much to my dismay). Halo pub is an ice cream pub (much to my delight). After our Memorial Day indoor BBQ we headed over to the Halo Pub near the BF's house. Flavors, flavors, flavors galore! Baskin Robbin's 31 flavors have NOTHING on Halo Pub. I got the Pistachio and it was so awesomely delicious. My BF got the Peanut Butter something with lots of chunky PB cups in it. I definitely got a kick out of all of the various cow paintings hanging on the walls and the cowbells hanging from the ceilings. It really made it feel like I was in the 4H memorabilia hall and Ole' McDonald was waiting for me right outside. Good times - highly recommended. If you're going to stop by...bring me back a cone : ) read more

Between the hard and soft ice cream selections and the coffee menu you are sure to find something that will strike your fancy. Had the soft serve chocolate (they call it "on draught"). It was thick and contained ground cocoa beans, making the ice cream a little gritty but very flavorful. Not a bad choice for a chocoholic like myself. Will definitely go back to try other selections. read more

Halo Pub definitely has a pub feel. HP is a dimly lit parlor with wooden furniture. But when you walk in instead of smelling old beer you are greeted with the wonderful smell of delicious ice-cream. The ice-cream is some of the best I've ever had. Its hard not to order another round! Will definitely be back to try more flavors. read more

Great place for ice cream! Halo Pub offers a fairly traditional (but varied) selection of ice creams at remarkable prices. (I can't remember exactly, because it's been six months or so since my wife and I visited, but I think a pint of ice cream to-go costs somewhere around $2.50!!! That's amazing.) My favorite flavor is vanilla-rum-cherry-walnut. Unlike many ice cream places, Halo Pub offers ample seating (for perhaps close to 75 people) for patrons to relax and enjoy their treats away from the scorching summer sun. Very cool! Now, after writing this review, I kind of have a hankering for some Halo Pub ice cream. Yum! read more

In what looks more like a german beer garden than an ice cream parlor you can find very good ice cream, interesting toppings and a surprisingly good expresso. I had a seasonal flavor, egg nog which really did taste like a frozen cup of cheer. I added white chocolate chips which unfortunately were a bit waxy in texture. The space is dark but big enough to sit with friends and not feel crowded. In better weather there are sidewalk tables as well. This local gem pairs very well with either the tomato pie meccas down the road or the new local bbq shop. read more

This place is so unique! It's very hip and different, and I like that! I love the wooden decor, the people playing guitar, and the fact that they sell ice cream and coffee! The line gets LONG and super crowded, but the ice cream is homemade and delicious!!!! I got the mocha chip. I got one scoop and thought it would be a decent size; unfortunately one scoop is a little small (I definitely would have gotten two scoops) but it's whatever! read more

Halo Pub's homemade ice cream is SO GOOD that I brought my bf down from North Jersey just to have him try it. He was floored, said it was the best ice cream he'd ever had in his life and it was worth the 2 hour drive, and asked when we could go back. IT'S TRUE. After you have Halo Pub's ice cream, all those store-bought and big-chain ice creams will taste fake and unimpressive. This is the real deal. They have a lot of different, fun flavors, my favorite of which (though it doesn't sound impressive, it's amazing) is Peanut Butter In Vanilla. Even with the available variety, though, it's worth trying the plain vanilla (hard serve) because it's easily the tastiest vanilla I've ever had in my life. The place itself is hilariously, charmingly BOVINE. There is a wonderfully, ridiculously vast assortment of cow-themed paraphernalia, knick-knacks, and pictures adorning every square inch of the place. And though it's in a modern-looking strip mall, the inside is basically the inside of an old barn, complete with antique furniture and tables. It's worth checking out for both the ice cream and the "farm" experience. Halo Pub is one of those rare places where you can actually just sit and look around and have a good time, especially contrasted with the stark linoleum blandness of most ice cream parlors. As the sprinkles on the sundae, they're open all year round! The only thing that is less than amazing is that they don't take credit cards, but c'mon, there's a bank and ATM right next door. read more

Halo pub is firmly in the 4 to 5 Yelp range. This review is for the Hamilton location, but the Princeton one is just as good. If you want to skip the parlor experience entirely you can even go to Lawrence next to the Trenton farmers market, and buy from the Halo farms store. The Hamilton location also serves as a coffee shop, and with only 1 employee on duty when I arrived, I was happy no one wanted any beverages. This cash only location is easy to browse at, and there are plenty of rustic chairs and tables inside. Free water is offered!. I had a small cup of half chocolate cherry, and half caramel cashew, with the nutty flavor being the standout, at a low price of $2.25! I believe this business merits further investigation... read more

Wonderful ice cream and the pub atmosphere is adorable. It is a winner any time of year!
