It's a cool local bar. The cheeseburger is phenomenal. Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Easily in my top 5. The fries were nice and crispy. Will be back to try the cheesesteak. read more

The Number One Bar & Grille is a great neighborhood bar that offers cold drinks and a simple, but good menu. I have had the burgers here and have enjoyed them. Their Number One Burger is a cheeseburger with pork roll and was definitely an enjoyable meal. As I said, this is a neighborhood type bar and the staff and customers were friendly and made this an even better experience. We need neighborhood bars like one. Places without pretense and a good place to come and have a drink, maybe a bite to eat. It is a good place for friends to celebrate or to come and brood over a beer. The atmosphere holds no fancy overtones. It is a bit dark, maybe a bit dingy. This just adds to the overall positive atmosphere. This place isn't about any kind of formality. It is the neighborhood place where the people in the neighborhood can gather and just be themselves. The Number One Bar & Grille is a great part of this community and is just one of the places that makes a group of houses into a community. I woukd definitely recommend this establishment. read more

A decent dive bar in NJ! Can feel a bit crowded because it gets packed late at night. The prices are on the cheaper side, which is nice. They have pool and darts for entertainment, as well. read more

Johnny, Steven and Michael -- excellent personalities -- i've never been disappointed being there - and i've been there A LOT of times over the course of many years - when i go back home to visit, that wonderful lil place is one of the first places i go read more

They will ignore you for 15 minutes when you sit down. I don't know why I sat down it was pointless.

The Number One. My friends went here for years. My wife and I never did....They spoke of some guy who sits on the corner of the bar weekly and masters the touch tunes music to perfection. Then there were THE CHEESE STEAKS. Friends would say OH REALLY, you need a GOOD cheese steak? (like the hankering you get for a cheese steak, it's just hits you)....."Go to Number One". OH those cheesesteaks with hot peppers..... And the FRIENDLY BARTENDERS. GREAT DRINKS. STEVIE THE MAN. Yes we did finally break down and go...and go....and go.....and...... My Number One Friends...."we thank the read more

Number One Bar & Grille - A partially devoured cheesesteak with fried onions and hot peppers - Bars Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

Great local place to grab a nice cold beer and burger also the staff it's very friendly and always nice when you walk in.

definitely a dive bar but a really friendly little place. we had a groupon, i had a steak sandwich, he had a burger both were excellent! the burger was a big fresh made patty with lots of cheese , bacon and onion petals, nice and juicy. the steak sandwich was huge and you can get what ever you want on it, so big i only ate half and brought the rest home. they have no wait staff but one of the regulars at the bar brought out our food out (we sat out side) read more

Number One Bar & Grille - Disco fries yummmy - Bars Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

Always loved this place. Nice atmosphere, great food, wonderful service! And now with cocktails to go... what can be better than that! I choose to support local businesses, especially ones that are walking distance to my house! read more

With a pretty appropriate name, this place oozes "dive bar". Great drink prices ($4 Old Grand Dad for example). So far the food I've had (hush puppies, fries) are just what you'd expect--made to order straight out of the deep fryer to soak up the $3 Miller Lites you've been throwing back all night. There's a coin-op pool table and a dart board. What more could you ask for? Well okay, now that you ask, there are a few things I could ask for. Being in my late 20s, it would be nice to see a bit more of my peers at this place, but it's really no big deal, everyone here I've ever met is delightful. From the bartenders to the one Mexican couple that bought me and my friend shots after we drunkenly tried to show off our horrible Spanish we learned in high school. Also they sell by the bottle after liquor stores close for very fair prices if you're having late night guests and you're in a pinch (sixer of Yuengling for $10, not too shabby). Some may describe the space as tight, but I'd rather use cozy. Lack of ambiance? Nah, more like "no frills". read more

I had a localflavor coupon. I only bought the coupon after reading good reviews. We went here during lunch. We had two cheesesteaks and a burger. I had a cheesesteak and I must say it was really good. My buddy who had the burger said it was good too. They have a lunch special burger or cheesesteak fries and beer for $10. Well worth it read more

Randomly found this place. Wife and I went in for a quick drink. Ended up ordering wings. Wings were very tasty and crispy. Eager to try other items on the menu as various plates of food looked good. Super dive bar if that's your thing which it is for us. Will for sure be back! read more

We were there for dinner last night for the first time. Had a Groupon. Delicious food (I had the cheese steak with mushrooms and yummy fries. 2nd half was even wonderful cold for lunch today!) Hubby had pizza burger and onion petals. Excellent and attentive service from "the brothers". Strong mixed drink for the money. read more

Amazing bar food, casual atmosphere and tremendous staff. Highly recommend to my friends in Warren! read more

Number One Bar & Grille - Bars Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

Best bar pie around!!! Great drinks!! Service is why it's called Number 1 they provide Number 1 service!!!!

A purely chance encounter led us to this place. Immediately we felt like we were part of the family. Our sandwiches were great-tasting and generous, the company friendly and inviting. Mary Lou and I had a great time here and I'm sure the locals treasure this place. They should. It was my pleasure to have them ring the bell and buy a "round for the bar." We hope to re-visit the next time we pass through. read more

First time here with the hubby its a smelly little place but VERY friendly played pool and it was great never underestimate a hole in the wall i believe the the older guy bartending was the owner its a great little place will be back read more

Number One Bar & Grille - Darts, pool and friends! ! - Bars Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

We just stopped in for drinks on a Saturday afternoon but we will definitely go back so I will update after we try the food. This place is very relaxed. They have a pool table and package goods. Beers were cheap and the crowd was friendly. Seemed like a neighborhood place but no one made us feel like we shouldn't be there. Bartender was doing everything including cooking the food but we were never neglected. read more

Great dive bar in town. Pool table and juke box. Both times I went, it was packed. Older crowd. Cool old man bartender (owner?) A friend of mine swears by the burgers, but this place is too sketch for me to eat the food lol. read more

Another dive with killer food and music!!!! Their burger can't be beat, one of the best in Jersey! Good prices good specials good people. If you like doves this is a place to go. read more

I'm not going to call this place a dive nor a hole in the wall. Food is good and bartenders are super friendly. You can always strike up a good conversation with a local like myself. Living in Philly for a couple years and having access to some of the best cheesesteaks just a couple feet from my front door, this place does a great job with there own style, and its delicious, same goes for there wings. All in all a great place to grab some food and a couple cold ones read more

Very popular local dive bar. U shaped bar with about twenty stools facing an open kitchen. Pool table, couple of games, two flat screens. Stopped in for lunch a couple of days after Sandy. Got the last open seat. Pork roll sandwich was just OK. Service was fast and friendly. I think that they have five or maybe six taps. I had a Bass. Saw taps for Stella, Rolling Rock, Bud Light. read more

Looks can be deceiving. That is the best way to describe Number One Bar and Grille. I am not a fan of dive bars, but this has become one my favorite bars to grab a bite and a beer in the Bridgewater area. Stella Artois can be found on tap and the bar pizza can hold it's own against Stan Chitch's. However, what sealed the deal for me was going in on a Friday night to hear French electronic music and indie pop playing on the bar's TouchTunes jukebox. read more

Steven is the best bartender in Somerset County. Where else can one get a Becks beer, Thumann's Burger or hotdog, great people and music! Try it you won't be disappointed. read more

My friend's response to the question "where can I get something good in Bound Brook?" led me to the Number One Bar and Grill. Now I know why they call him the Mayor! The Number One did not disappoint. I ordered a well done burger with well done bacon and it was terrific. The burger seemed like it was good quality meat, it was cooked well, and it was flavorful! The fries that came with it were the crinkle cut type and were good (who messes up fries?).Every pint of Bass I ordered came in a fresh chilled pint glass- very nice touch! both bartender and the patrons were friendly and social. A good time was had by all! read more

Can't say much about the bar as I didn't have anything to drink but a Coke. However, the aesthetic is as nice as you could expect from a 'hole-in-the-wall' type building. It's clean and seemingly well maintained, and in a positive way doesn't have a whole lot of the tacky frills other bars have like 100 neon lights everywhere and crappy music being played unnecessarily loud. The tap beer selection was the same popular beers you'd see elsewhere with a select few additions of craft brews available in bottles (EX: "Not Your Father's Root Beer" which I'm told is otherwise pretty hard to find lately). While I didn't have any drinks - I did have some food. We ordered the Buffalo Wings (sauce on the side) and they were some of the best wings I've had. Thin layer of perfectly crispy breading outside and tender meaty insides. These are real wings too and not those tiny little 'Buffalo Style' wings. While reviewing the menu I was also told multiple first-hand accounts by other patrons who say the burgers here are great! Taking this review from an upper 3-star review to an exemplary 4-star review is the fact that the bartender/manager/owner? was offering out FREE food. It was a batch of simply breaded and fried cheese sticks of sorts, but just the fact that the house is doing it not as some gimmick or promotion, but for their patrons shouldn't go unremarked. Kudos to the operators of this establishment as in one visit I went from being kinda put-off by the outward appearance to wanting to now stop in routinely. I'll be back. read more

Great dive bar. Steve is a great bartender / cook. The kitchen is clean and the food is good. If you call ahead your food and drink will be waiting for you. It's a great place to unwind during a hectic work day. read more

For years my wife and I wouldn't go here because it looked a little too, as another reviewer put it, "sketch" for our taste... then one magical night (after the liquor store closed and we had no options) off we went. Stella for me, rum and coke for her (heavy on the rum which is always appreciated) and a ridiculously well-cooked and delicious burger shared by both of us. As another, very lovely reviewer put it, looks can be deceiving. I recommend the food to anyone. Drinks-wise, I wish they'd put a microbrew or two on tap. Nothing fancy, maybe just a Shiner Bock or a Brooklyn Ale. Otherwise, I love this place. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when i walked in since other reviews said the ambiance isn't the best, but the staff was very nice, and the burgers were OUTSTANDING. Prices were right too. I would go back in a heart beat. read more
