One of the best beer lists in New Brunswick. Solid cocktails and food but the real draw is the heated outdoor patio (open all year) and live music. Can't go wrong at the Bay.
Wolfsburg BoxersSeptember 25, 2012Truthfully probably the best service I've ever had period. Visited 3 times this trip so far and have yet to be disappointed. Knowledgable, friendly staff, good food and great beer selection.
Graycar TravelOctober 17, 2011This place has been around long enough to perfect New Orleans creole cuisine. Some of the classic dishes pack some heat, so be sure to order a hurricane to go with it.
Heba AbdellaSeptember 18, 2016The food is great, we had the blackened strawberry bass and shrimp with grits. Live band was playing too which was perfect
Best damn staff and craft beer selection you could ever find! I should know. ;)
Anthony GalassoFebruary 3, 2013They just built a new stage. Definitely see a band or sing on-stage during their karaoke on Tuesdays. DJ Rob is the man.
Best draft beer selection in town. Constantly rotating tap so come often.
Mike RichardsonMay 10, 2014Omg. Try the 50/50 Burger. Half ground beef, half applewood smoked bacon ground together. 😛😛😛🍔🍔
It's worth paying the $2 a pint during half off days for beer you can't get anywhere else in Brunswick. Awesome deal.
Ben BakelaarJune 4, 2010One of the best tap lists in New Brunswick for craft and quality beer. For rare beers, the best... when they have them.
Try the swamp water - midori, southern comfort, bourbon, sour mix, and 151 it's awesome

"Beer selection is great, for a wed night after work client meeting-it was perfect! Not too loud. Calamari and tomato/portabello appetizers get an A+"

"Unique, fun cocktail list and menu! The cheese plate is unreal and the Mako special was seriously delicious. Try the Clydz Vesper martini. Great service & ambience in the dining room--we'll be back!"

"I've seen some of my favorite comics there, they get all the top comedians. Food wise their burgers and paninis are the best! (I usually get the Vinnie panini)"
