This place is an old…read moreschool house/business so the house is the main eating area while the basement is the bar/happy hour area. Drinks were very good and fairly priced. We had a group of 7 and had drinks and several appetizers for under $250. Here in Cali that would be easily in the mid to high $300s. They have good beers on draft (sorry I forgot the name of the one I got but it was a porter). Give this place a visit but come early as it gets packed!

I came here with a coworker for dinner one night. There was no room at the bar so we ended up going…read morewith a table. We were the first two in the room, but there ended up being a few very loud parties that also ended up sat in the room with us - totally not the fault of a restaurant for that, but just know that sound carries in the room on the opposite side of the hall from the bar. The vibes of the old house were great though! Once sat, our waitress was alright. She was kind of quiet (especially once the louder groups were in) and not overly friendly, but food and drink delivery was prompt so that was nice. I got a cider and my coworker had a couple of beers. We split the caramel shrimp (very tasty) and I also had the cheddar IPA soup. The soup was good but could have used maybe just a bit more salt for my taste. He wound up getting the pub burger and said it was delicious. I had the BLT and added fried chicken. The chicken wasn't the fried chicken I imagined (not as breaded/crispy) but the sandwich was really good! Overall, it was a neat spot that I'd go back to if I was in town.

My husband got the flight which included four beers and my cousin got the saison beer. Both enjoyed theirs. My daughters got the kids vanilla ice cream which was in a bowl and included a sugar cone topped with chocolate syrup -- it was a great size for $6! I do love the space, we came on a Sunday so it was busy around the bar area because of the eagles game. We were still able to watch where we sat in the dining area. Our server was very sweet too! We will be back!

On my last visit, I ordered the 8 piece tavern wings (4 with maple brown butter/ 4 with bourbon bbq) which were pretty good, paired it with a glass of prosecco. I was there for a quick meet up with the girls, but they do also host a lot of large private events. They recently had a 2 floor Halloween party which was free to attend. I wasn't able to make it; however, I look forward to keeping up with any future events on their calendar.

The live band was fantastic and brought a nice vibe to the restaurant. We went for a friends birthday and I did not drink but my friends said the drinks were very good and the girls loved the espresso martinis.

You can't go wrong with the Pint.

Brooks Brewery is located inside the Northside Lounge in Manville, NJ. It was the 101st brewery…read moreI'd visited in NJ. They actually vaguely have a similar set-up to Troon Brewing and the Brick Farm Tavern, in that the brewery doesn't have its own formal tasting room, and a full service bar is the exclusive tap for the brewery. Northside Lounge actually has a separate Yelp page, but it's hard to review each separately because they overlap. You can order cocktails or other kinds of beer. They have basic food items available, too, which are inexpensive. The Brooks Brewery list is on a dry erase board, as pictured. IPA snobs won't like them. I thought that they were light, fresh, and drinkable. The Belgian cherry one was the best. They are a 1 barrel system. It's a very modest place, and it has a dive bar atmosphere. But there's charm. Friendliness is always important to me. Every single person said hi to me, from the brewer to the bartender to all the after work patrons. Manville is an interesting town. I thought that being in the part of NJ that it is, it would feel more upscale. It actually is a blue collar Polish town. It feels as if you're in the heartland of the country. I enjoyed the overall experience at the Brooks Brewery even if it's not the most posh brewery in NJ.

The peanut butter porter just tasted like flat doctor pepper and I had high hopes for that one. The atmosphere was underwhelming as well.

Overall glad I tried it but wouldn't come back.

I've been here many times now. It's a casual atmosphere and kid friendly. It is wheelchair and…read morehandicapped accessible. ( not sure about the pub.) It can be a bit confusing because you have a Pub located on the lower level in one building, and you have to walk down a flight of stairs to get to the pub. Next door is an entry for their private dining room with a fireplace, and then across the way they have an outdoor patio for dining. You can have parties here, My suggestion is they need to put signs outside directing customers where to go. There is a large free parking lot with some handicapped parking spaces close to the outdoor seating. With that being said, The Landing has a wonderful summer special every "THURSDAY ONLY" for Prime Rib Dinner which is 3 courses. You get a choice of soup or salad, your prime rib dinner, and dessert. I managed to come here two Thursday's in a row because I really enjoyed my Prime Rib Dinner. You can get this dinner sitting outside on their patio or in the pub restaurant. They have a standard cut, a queen's cut, and a king's cut. I chose their Queen Cut the first time and their King Cut the second time. The Queen cut was a perfect size for me. My boyfriend cleaned his plate he loved his prime rib dinner. I started off with their Caesar Salad. I was so amazed at how big it was, enough for two people. The Caesar Salad had lots of flavor and fresh croutons. I only ate half because I didn't want to fill up on It. My boyfriend chose their House Salad and it too was very large and looked good. My prime rib was cooked perfectly med-rare and it was served with creamy mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus. On the side came a creamy horseradish sauce. Instead of a basic au jus they served a wonderful red wine reduction sauce which contributed to the overall flavor. For Dessert I had a choice of Mango Sorbet with Mixed Berries, Vanilla, or Chocolate Ice Cream. The first time I chose their Vanilla ice cream and asked if they could put Chocolate Syrup on it which they did. The second time I tried their Mango Sorbet with Mixed Berries, and that was the perfect ending. This past weekend, I went back again. For starters I tried their Duck Thai Chili Wings. They were outstanding with their hot and sweet sauce. I like to sit at the bar. My bartender John is a wonderful bartender and he recommended their Smokehouse BBQ Burger. It was large and had Cheddar, Frizzled Onions, Bacon, and Honey BBQ Sauce on it. It also came with Fries. He was so right this bbq bacon, onion cheese burger was very tasty. I only ate half, it was very filling. The Landing serves up wonderful Signature Cocktails, and they have Seasonal Cocktails too. I tried their Blueberry Bee's Knees Cocktail and their Passionfruit Martini. Both were great. They also have a good selection of aged Bourbon's and Tequila's. My boyfriend had me try their Blanton Bourbon. It was so smooth and delicious I can see why it's so special. The Landing can accommodate up to 120 people for an event with beautiful grounds that has that outdoor country feel. ( great for parties, corporate events or weddings.) They can also do intimate parties from 10-30 people. The Landing has a new Bocce Court. They have Trivia every Wednesday Night starting at 7pm. On Thursday's they have Bingo starting at 7pm. (It can get a bit loud in the pub.) Wednesday- Saturday 3-6pm is Happy Hour. All Day Happy Hour on Sundays, Brunch is served 12-3pm. $12 Lunch Specials Wednesday- Saturday 12-3pm. I really enjoyed my time here.
