The owner is a great guy and a hardworking man. He is basically a one man show. He has great values. The food is delicious, and it doesn't matter what you order from the menu, which has a wide selection of items. I have been there a number of times and so have a number of people I know personally. Now all he has to do is say cash or credit or debit same price. IMHO all these places should not change extra fees for using a debit or credit card. These small business type restaurants didn't do that not too long ago, I wonder what happened?!? Again no extra fees benefits both the customer and the owner. read more

Went there for the comedy night on Wednesdays. It's your regular dive bar with chill people BESIDES Anthony. As someone that loves jokes, I took several racial jokes from him and laughed it off until he called me the N-word, publicly too. I ignored the plastering of Trump propaganda in the bar and didn't judge but it now makes sense. The female bartender was great but Anthony had made it clear how comfortable he is disrespecting customers he deems beneath him. After reading some comments, he's apparently the owner, hence why he's so comfortable with his recital slurs. Be warned, take a look at that melanin before going there. read more

nice little hole in the wall, that truly offers alot. surprisingly, the 25 cent wings on mondays and tuesdays are great. looking for sauce? they got them. they are juicy and drowned in sauce. fries are a huge portion. beer selection isnt fancy at all, but who can beat those prices? speaking of prices, everything is priced well. great food specials, and a big menu. servers are friendly. theres plenty of options of games to play, couches to sit on, an ourdoor area, karokee, and god knows what else. this small townie bar has a little bit o everything. read more

Cool spot I have been scoping out since I moved to Lyndhurst last summer. They have 50 cent wings every Monday and Wednsday Night and thats what we came for. The bar looks like an awesome spot for the summer due to the fact that they have an out door patio with a tiki bar, an upstairs pool room, darts, small dance floor and I believe kareokee. Theres plenty of space and seating both indoors and out. It looks like a typical Irish pub on the inside with witty signs and sarcastic anecdotes and bumper stickers plastered on the walls. It's definetly a locals kind of hangout but not grimy at all. In fact it seems like a fun place. The Bartender was nice and patient and funny. The wings came out hot fresh and tasty, they were actaully really good, escpecially for the price! the drinks were good and the prices low to average depending on what you got. I will def be back ! read more

My family and I have gone here more times that I can count. I order the wings and fries almost every time. Both their French fries and sweet potato fries are excellent. I have tried other items on their menu which are also delicious. Their menu has a good selection of food to order. The environment is welcoming and relaxing and the patio is very spacious. The staff are personable and the manager is so friendly and attentive to customers' needs. It is a very positive environment and a great place to go by yourself or with others. I would definitely recommend! read more

Let me preface this by saying that any place that has an oudoor bar as well as seating is an automatic 2-star for me. From the outside this place looks sketchy as hell. Like that neighborhood bar you shouldn't and wouldn't be caught dead in. Thing is... beer is beer. I met a friend here for some beers and catch up and I dared to order food. I kept it simple and ordered mozz sticks which, though I would have preferred them to be gooey-er, were good. I stepped up and also ordered shrimp. They were good except they were swimming in oil. Overall, I will say I'd come here again - but only in the summer and ONLY if I can sit outside. The inside of the bar leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. read more

This came as a recommendation from a guy who looks like Edward James Olmos as where to get a good steak near me. It's basically a bar with steaks rather than a steakhouse but that's where the beauty comes in. They don't hide the taste of a ribeye behind salt or smoke. And when I said crispy fries, Jen got me crispy fries. Not burnt. Crispy. She also made sure that ribeye was as rare as I expected when ordering rare. There's pool upstairs. Seating outside too. It has the look of a place Crocodile Dundee might go on a date. You order beer or whiskey if you're a guy and some fancy concoction with an umbrella if you're not. From the look-over I did, they don't have Johnny Blue. If you called and asked, they'd say "Never seen him." read more

I've been here once before & came back tonight. I don't know who the bartender was but he was super disrespectful. He was saying racist comments to my friend all night and at first it was a joke but it got excessive. Tension was clearly building up and they ended up getting into a fight because the bartender ran around to really start it. (Don't know if he was drunk?) Super unprofessional and honestly disgusting in my opinion. It's sad as fuck that people are still like this in 2020 in a town like Lyndhurst????? Im a respectful, nice person and always tip soooo well cause I'm a server but I'll never come back here. They'll never get actual good clientele n business with the way act. :/ read more

Sunday Funday- what does one in North Jersey need to succeed for a Sunday Funday than a juke box, a room of pool tables and dart boards. Awesome! We loved it! Plus they have a calculator next to the dart board for easy adding haha. Great time! Def a must to finish with an Amazing outdoor tiki bar!! read more

Nice little spot good for hanging with friends or watching a sporting event. The food here is not the best but the waitresses are super nice. Smoking is allowed in the outdoor area. Drin prices are good. I ordered a pull pork dish - The pork did not taste good - truthfully to me it tasted like pork chunks that had been victims of frost bite. The BBQ sauce was most likely some jar sauce. The pulled pork was more chuck pork then pulled pork - so it was clear to me the kitchen staff really didn't care what they served their customers. I most likely will not come back to this place and I will not recommend this place for dining. I might recommend this place for late night with friends for drinks. The restaurant does have 4 - 6 beer pong tables setup in the outdoor area. read more

I am shocked this place is still in business. Been there a couple times and its always dead. I am the only one in the bar besides the bartender and a waitress. I feel like I had to make conversation with them because it was so quiet. I don't know why it is called "City Lounge" because there is no city decor in it. Just a bunch of random signs and lights. They had a raffle for a Jets jersey up....a Mark Sanchez jersey. Yeah who would want to win that raffle huh? Bartenders there are nice and do the whole buy back thing after you buy 4 drinks so that was good. No limit on opening a tab so that's why this place gets three stars. read more

All around fun atmosphere! Convenient Patio on the outside to sit and relax while eating and/or drinking. Service is fast, food is great and the bartender is awesome. Beer pong on the outside patio is an option or upstairs has pool tables & darts. Come here with friends or family and your bound to have an awesome time. read more

Agree with the other yelpers, interesting place to say the least. I'll save my comments to the food. The wings are freakin awesome - meaty, breaded just right, drenched in tasty hot sauce, and cheap! The wings were followed up with my buddy's newest obsession. the Francese sandy. Not sure I would've ordered it myself, but he ordered a few for the table so I indulged. Wow, really good. The sandwich is great, and the side of dipping sauce brings the gluttony to unprecedented levels. Didn't have them, but the gravy steak fries looked good. If you are looking for a classic North Jersey bar with great food, swing by... read more

It's a bar. But it's a nice town bar, roomy outdoor seating, good bar food and if you are lucky enough to get Casey as your server it's a good night. read more

This place was interesting to say the least. The fact that they have an outdoor section where you can smoke cigarettes, eat bar food, and pray to a giant Tiki God it amazing in itself. In the summer it's probably off the hook out there, but in the winter we saddled up to the bar and ordered Larry Long Balls Island Iced Teas and munched on different versions of $1 shrimp. The staff was really nice and helpful and the patrons were unique. The night ended a bit early when an extremely drunken old man was ushered out of the bar by a local barfly. With that being said, i will definitely be seen in the patio area praying to the Tiki God when it gets warm out. read more

Amazing place. The first time I went there I wasn't thrilled but this time everything changed. - Outdoor seating is always a great thing. - I don't care how old you are, having beer pong as an option is a good thing (though we didn't play). - Beers are priced amazing. - The best thing about this place is the second floor, pool and darts. The only annoying thing about the second floor is no music without feeding the machine. The bad I would assume with this place would probably be the food, though I didn't try it so I can't really judge. Bottom line this place has amazing potential and you can easily walk from anywhere in Lyndhurst to it. I'm coming back soon and can't wait! read more

Great spot in the middle of Lyndhurst. When we first walked in we didn't see a bartender. As we got closer we saw a short guy cracking jokes. read more

Been here a ton of times and the owner has always taken care of us. The food is quick, never an issue and if I've had an issue with it, they fix it right away and apologize. The drinks are good, not watered down like some places. Upstairs, they have a few pool tables you can play with. Downstairs they sometimes have fun events like karaoke and the outside seating is pretty large for the amount of space they have. read more

awesome place, awesome food, great atmosphere! The outside patio is great, including pool tables and darts on the second floor. Cool open mic every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month! read more

I came here with my best friend for st.pattys day. It was my first time and it's a typical bar nothing really special. The inside is kind of small but there's a pool table upstairs, which I didn't c yet, and they have food, which I didn't try yet either. They have a cool outdoor seating for smoking and a couple of beer pong tables out there. I found that pretty cool too. The drinks were alright and the staff were very nice and funny! There's a lot of regulars that go there so I found that to be a good sign. I met the owner Anthony and his wife who are very nice ppl. I would like to try this place again in the summer and try out there menu next time. We have had our dinner before we came here and jus wanted drinks. Will be back soon to check it out again! read more

5 stars for a great local sports pub type hangout. Was here for lunch and we all had great pub food. Donna the bartender was just terrific! Thank you! Want to come back and hang out at the outdoor area and watch sports on their big screen TV's. read more

I went here the first time last night. I had a great time. Pool tables upstairs and darts. Outside there's tables and beer pong! I can't wait until it's summer i'll be ther often. read more

I love this bar, especially when they have comedy nights on Thursdays. The drinks are reasonably priced, the owner actually cares and is present to make sure everyone is having a great time, and the food is delicious! Anthony, the owner is a kind host to let us perform and is welcoming to all patrons, comics or otherwise. read more

After being in town for almost a week on business, I came across this little place and decided to give it a try based on the reviews here. I was not disappointed! The food is good, the prices are reasonable and the service is fantastic! Anthony, owner/bartender, is a cool guy with a great sense of humor. Jersey is a long way from Florida but this place made me feel like I was back home, in my local pub. I will definitely be back, anytime I'm in the area. read more

Really awesome place. The owner is such a nice guy who goes out of his way to get to know his customers. Great drinks and specials. There's an outdoor area where you can play beer pong when the weather is nice, and they even put out a charging station for you to charge your phone! Customer service at its best. read more

This is by far one of my favorite spots !!! The food is above and beyond "bar food" !! The owner is very personable and treats his customers very well! It is a local bar type of place but even if your not a local expect cold beer, good drinks, great fresh food and a very comfortable atmosphere !!!! A all around GREAT STOP!! read more

I don't think I've ever left a review for this place so now is it guesses a good day as any to say my experiences for starters when I walk in I know Anthony the bartender he can be kind of an ass whole but a good ass at timeshe doesn't mean to be angry at anybody he always laughs and has a good time no matter who we talk to to be honest I am always glad to be around him he makes the place better anywho he always has a good wide variety of alcohol to choose the pool tables the chicken wings the music it all comes together to one big night of fun anytime I come here I always have a good time no matter if I'm feeling crappy if I'm feeling sad if I'm feeling happy I come here and I always get better yes you can even feel more happy after you've already felt happy that's how good this place makes you feel especially in the back where you can play some beer pong outside enjoy the patio fresh night air it's nice to be honest I haven't been there in a while but I do plan on going back soon it's a local pub would I suggest everyone would trytheir most noted greatly for their chicken wings read more

Amazing. I ordered the wings and since it was wing night the wing were only .50! The sauce was great and the drinks were awesome. They have a full bar and the bartender really knew what she was talking about. Very friendly staff. Upstairs is pool table and darts, which is very interesting and a huge outdoor seating patio with beer pong tables. Would highly recommend coming here with friends and even your family! read more

Super yelp bros. Back at it again now you have to understand what kind of bar this is . Obviously more of a divey joint. place looks like they have a glory hole, however this hole in the wall is out of this world. the amounts of fun we had here are unbelievable! they have beer pong tables! pool tables !darts! And that stupid punching machine you see in the jersey shore boardwalk and look out for my boy mike f's post. SUPER YELL BROS OUT read more

Great staff, great prices, pool table, dart board room with jukebox upstairs, tented outdoor tables, and 4 beer pong tables. Relaxed night out. Great music. read more

Fun place. We came on a Saturday night and sat outside to eat and drink and then played beer pong. Surprisingly empty but then got a little more crowded once the beer pong started. Food was surprisingly good which I wasn't expecting given the negative reviews on the food. Not 5 star restaurant but good quality bar food. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had a chicken parm sandwich at the suggestion of the bartender Kayleigh: insanely good. I also saw her mix up some custom mixer shots that would peak your interest. This place is definitely way too hidden of a gem for how far above the bar it is. It's a popular place with locals and it's worth going out of your way to check out. PS. Outdoor patio seating! read more

Don't come here. Extra drinks get added to your tab that you never ordered. Done coming here. I was a regular here and never thought the owner would do this to someone who frequents his bar. read more

Honestly deserves -1 star. First time at this establishment with my wife. Sign clearly says steakhouse & bar. Had a beer at the bar then went outside to the open area to watch the football game and have dinner. My wife ordered a pulled pork sandwich which was old dried pork bathed with BBQ sauce. You could chew the staleness and only savor BBQ sauce. I ordered a sizzling rib eye steak (pan seared) which was extremely salty. Cut a piece of the corner and I instantly tasted the overwhelming salted seasoning. Called the waitress and notified her I was not happy and that I would not pay for it or I would accept having the stake change. When she returned, she told me the owner (Anthony, who would not give his last name) stated that he would not take it off my bill. I asked to speak to the owner. He showed up 30 seconds later, semi-drunk and stated that he would not take it off the bill because he would not take a loss as well as saying that everyone in the area knows all the steaks come salty because that's the seasoning. My wife replied, "we're not from the area, were first time customers". His answer was, "we're not corporate and we make out own rules."I bit my tongue and paid the $80 bill. As we walked out, he was doing shots at the bar and making jokes about my wife and myself and stated how we complained about the steak. As I passed him, he looked at me and said "have a good night." I looked at him and walked out. On a personal note, this can be because we were the minority in the establishment or because I was wearing his opposing team's jersey (he also had a jersey on). In the end, he was unprofessional, rude and drunk. Good luck to you, people read more
