Very fun place to stop in and socialize. The manager Jamie really knows how to accommodate and the bartender Andrew knew how to give your money's worth. Also a shocker was a courtyard type setting with a stage a DJ can play in and they have a real chef designing the menus. Me and my brother Anthony enjoyed it!!! read more

Great location with great drinks. The ambiance was lit with music and a competitive pool table to complement the on screen games. Great food. Solid service. read more

The Lobby - Short shuttle from the airport - New American Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

I came here on a Friday night around 7:30pm. There were a good amount of people inside and the space is really big. The music was BLASTING, which was a mix of hip hop, r&b (old and new) and reggaeton (or Latin trap). I enjoyed the vibes inside. We were seated immediately and the hostess and our waitress were extremely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a mango margarita, which was reallyyy good. For food, I had the blackened salmon pasta. It came with a really yummy garlic bread, which was soft, and veryyy garlicky. The pasta was a little overcooked and too soft for my liking. The salmon was also overcooked and a little dry inside, but still well seasoned. The dish overall was tasty, and I'd order it again, I'd just request al dente pasta and salmon over medium. read more

I though I would have a great night I was welcome with rudeness and unprofessional behavior. I was dancing and I had 3 drinks they said I was intoxicated and in fact i was not . When I asked to speak to the manager I was ignored and mistreated. Don't come here if you have problems with ADHD or ect. You will not be treated respectfully. Lady night was not a good night. Will not recommend!!!!! read more

Restaurant by day/club by night. This location has a bar and grill type menu. Very cool ambiance with TV screens, pool table, bar, and outdoor venue. There are great hookah options, and staff are attractive and friendly. Welcoming but laid back environment. Great music but limited selection on repeat. Food was basic. In a seedy area. Good deals however if in the area. read more

We went for apps and drinks. They had a enticing happy hour. The guacamole came out and looked a little old. There was no flavor. Parking lot is huge but could also be tricky getting in and out. The drinks were good. The music killed our vibe. The hookah was also on the happy hour special but was a little weak. Our waitress took about 10-15 mins before she approached us. She included a tip for just 2 people as well. She was not very attentive. The only highlight of the night was the gentleman dancing and singing with his guitar. The main dancing area open on the weekends they will make you buy a bottle if you want a table. I don't know if I'll be back or not. At least not during the week. We also had a Yelp coupon that they refused maybe it was because we had happy hour specials but the waitress couldn't explain as to why. read more

The drinks were great and ambiance was very chill. Music was blah but I mean after a few drinks you tend to vibe to anything. The service was good, only had to call the waitress over once because the rest of the time she would check in on us. The food for happy hour was fine, nothing extraordinary but edible nonetheless. Hookah was decent too but keep in mind you have to pay separately for that and it is only cash. My lack of stars for this review goes to the fact that we ordered the kebab trio to go and when I got home excited to try it, I noticed it all the components were not cooked. I called the restaurant back right away and I should be getting a refund but it was my first time trying food so it did suck to have to experience this. I will definitely give it another try though! read more

Came to dance, were not disappointed, the DJs were great. No pressure to buy food or drink. Just had a great time!

We stopped in for lunch yesterday, Friday. The music was very loud for about 1pm in the afternoon. We shared the Picada. Rather large portion, it was good. We couldn't finish it and took leftovers to go. Our waitress was very nice and somewhat attentive. I had water and husband had a martini. The bill was about $75, I thought a bit pricey. Pls be aware that tip is automatically added. Not sure that we would return. But looks like it would be a fun nightclub! read more

The place is large. The tables are reserved for bottle service. The bar area is relatively small. They are upstairs which is quieter. The cover charge is $40 cash. Robbery. The dance floor is tiny compared the place. The DJ was great. The crowds keep coming in throughout the night read more

Horrible place. They blast music which can be heard outside of the venue disturbing all the neighborhood around. Their noise level Is out of control! read more

I'm not sure it's fair for me to "review " this place as it's not a place I'd go on purpose. However, the stars are low so I feel like my review won't hurt & might help someone like me manage their expectations. I was only in town for the night. Staying at the Hilton Newark Hotel & I wanted to see UFC 248 more importantly the Jon Jones fight. This was the closest option. In hindsight I should have gone to one of the further options. Not an ideal UFC watching venue at least not for me. This place is a full fledged club. Loud music, sirens, & horns gallore. There's a cover charge. If you are looking for a hit club-thiz might be it but I'm not sure how well oy world's as a UFC bar to watch the pay-per-view. read more

Music was good. Love that they have Latin music dow stairs and a mix on the second floor. Service was super friendly and the overall vibe was great. read more

My friends and I stopped by here for the first time and had an ok experience. The bartender was very rude and dismissive. The ambiance was nice, and I would say the best thing about my experience was one of the hostess who was so sweet and fun. I think her name was Christina or christen can't quite remember. read more

I am a long time customer I generally have no problems, but i did notice that they do not have any heat and have the security standing all night in front of the door in the cold. Doesnt matter if you're bundled up or not its freezing and i dont think thats a good way to treat the people who protect and watch over the establishment . As a customer waiting in long lines for events their should be heat generated read more

Have been here before. Great atmosphere. Was going last night with a group of 8 to have a dinner and party. Got there for a 40 dollar cover charge. Threw all of us off. I used to eat here alot. To pay 320 just to enter the establishment. We were going to consume bottles and food. I guess for Saturday night life not worth it. Too expensive. read more

The security guards look mighty uncomfortable standing by the entrance and exits due to the freezing winter temperatures ... they should really provide them with a heater or something .. its kinda sad watching them freeze read more

The Lobby used to be better for me. Recently it's been more empty, the food hasn't been as good and the drinks are just ok. As always there's no parking and ppl just park on the grass. The service is what you expect at a sports bar. read more

Thank you Nicole best service we all love you, beautiful bottle girl with a nice smile always on top

This place is always packed, and is a definitely a nice hang out spot. Indoor and outdoor seating along with a dance floor on both ends. Food is good here also. The drinks are measured with some technologically advanced nozzle head, and they are not cheap drinks as well. Walking into the door you pay a hefty cover, but only guys do. The music can be good or bad depending on the DJ. So if the DJ happens to be Dominican then guess what kind of music will be played all night? Hmmm. They play mostly a heavy mix of Spanish music. My issue is the receipt I got billed for. They automatically add a tip on their, which I've seen before at other establishments. Look at the $5 "Balance Due". Who's pocket did that extra $5 go into??? On top of the added house tip. Be careful, SHADY BUSINESS! read more

Amazing experience at The Lobby!! Like.. when I tell y'all my jaw hit the ground from shock at the level of customer service, I am not exaggerating. The customer service here from the security guard, manager and staff was incredible. I was born and raised in the south where people say southern people are nice... For one that's not true but I give credit where it's due and this establishment is top notch and deserves all the credit.. OKAY NEWARK!! Everyone here was beyond nice. Even right before "last call," the manager, security guard and staff talked to us respectfully and personably. Andrika, Brandon and John William all made our experience one to remember... at 3am! Andrika was so sweet to us and made us feel so comfortable. She had great tips and suggestions for the area and also introduced us to some of the staff. Brandon, one of the security guards, helped a lady exit safely after she had one too many.. (we've all been there) by assisting her and her friend down the stairs. He was also very kind to us during the final closing calls. John William was the manager on duty and had the most personable and professional demeanor. Even while he was multitasking with his closing duties, he kept conversation with us. I'm beyond impressed with this bar, had no idea it was going to be this good of an experience. I'll be back here anytime I am back in EWR! read more

Where do I even began? Came for their "Friendsgiving" and all of my friends (6) and I bought the 20$!ticket that includes a free hookah for 6 and "unlimited" mimosas for 90 mins. Well none of the workers apparently were briefed on the fact that the mimosas come with out ticket and I was first told the area they were going to sit us in we had to spend 50$p/p and I said "no, we're not doing that bc we have our ticket. So we don't need to sit here, sit us where our ticket is acceptable" and she she had no idea what to do so she sat us in the supposed VIP section anyway, & we had to wait until they found the manager to be told YES, we DO get mimosas with our ticket.l after being told no 3 times. And they were "not allowed" to leave the pitchers, so we had to wait until our server came back to refill our glasses which, surprise surprise, she didn't come often. In those 90mins, I think she only came to us 4 times. That's it, we got 4 glasses of our "unlimited mimosas". Food took forever to come out and was not tasty at all. Oh yeah and 5$ for parking in their ridiculously small lot is a joke read more

Been coming here since they first opened and a lot has changed. Definitely changed from lounge to full on club. It's always packed and the music is usually okay. The food is not consistently good but once the drinks start flowing everything taste amazing! The service is great when you come to eat but once the party is going don't even think about service. read more

I'm a bit shocked that the stars are so low for this place. I've been a couple of times in the last 2 months and every time, I've had a good experience. I haven't gone in the evening though--just for brunch and lunch to watch some games. Their salmon with the white wine tomato sauce is sooo good. So is their penne vodka with shrimp. I like that it's creamy and not thick and dry like some places make it. I also had their chaufa but I wasn't crazy about it. As far as drinks I like that they have bowls--the Jack Daniel's Punch is good. So is their Hennessy Passion cocktail but the portion for that one is sooo small. Lastly, the music and atmosphere was good. Great for a lit brunch. PS: I haven't tried it but they also offer hookah if you're into it. read more

First time coming by while on vacation in Jersey on a Tuesday night. It was a salsa/bachata night and the music was great! Lots of great dancers variety of music and overall a wholesome fun time for a Tuesday. (We were Inside) ordered a French soup which was a great on a cold night along with a steak quesadilla. I would definitely come back when in Jersey read more

I have been to this spot many times but this is my first review. This is a cool spot just for drinks and to watch the game. They have an outdoor and indoor seating area. The food isn't that great but it will do if you are there to hang out and watch the game. The waitress we had was ok, I did have to get her attention at times. The drinks we ordered was ok as well. I had a decent experience. read more

Came here after a birthday celebration dinner for my friend just for some nice vibes. I honestly dislike coming here and always give them chances but I think this will be my last. We called to make sure they were serving hookah & drinks outdoors. The customer rep on the phone said yes they were. If there were any stipulations. TELL US ON THE PHONE! We arrived and were asked to be seated outdoors bc we would be ordering hookah just for them to tell us what we cannot receive hookah because this is a "VIP" thing & "VIP" is reserved and "booked." We should've been told that when we called and specifically asked for hookah. To add insult to injury. In a very Unpacked place. We had to ask 3 employees and waited for over 40 mins for anyone to come to our table. The waitress finally came and everything we ordered was her favorite -___- I'm soo over this place. read more

This place is actually pretty decent. I've been here before and always seemed like a clubby atmosphere to me but maybe that was just certain nights. We came on a Sunday to have drinks after dinner. The greeter lead us to a table and we ordered drinks Place was packed and the music was good! More of a lounge feel this time- maybe cuz it was Sunday evening . Lots of tvs for watching sports Drinks were better that I expected here. I didn't try the food here. I would come back to check it out again read more

If you're looking for a lit brunch spot or just a lit night out, then Lobby is the place to be. I've been here so many times and I always have a good time. The empanadas are BOMB and the drinks are good. The "shots" are tiny so I wouldn't waste your money there. The vibe is incredible if you're looking for a reggaeton/hip-hop spot. My only complaint is that they didn't let me use my 10% coupon bc they claimed they didn't have a scanner read more

Service was okay. Nachos sucked. We went in a small group for happy hour and weren't very impressed.
