| sic1314 (33), Leiden, Netherlands | | May 9, 2012 Fairly decent little brew pub. Own beers were good, if not brilliant, but well priced. Reasonable guest range, and even a handpump. Well worth a slight detour to visit. | | JGMoney (10), | | March 23, 2011 Great selection in bottles and draft. The beers that they make are pretty good as well, I like their winter offerings better than the summer ones. The food complements the beers fairly well and the atmosphere is nice and welcoming. | | waltv (11), brielle, New Jersey | | November 4, 2010 Nice selection of their own brews along with some guest taps. | | j12601 (214), Poughkeepsie, New York | | March 28, 2010 Stopped in here in the early afternoon on a Saturday. For a while it was us, another couple, a guy reading a book, and the bartender. At least in the bar. The dining area seemed to be doing brisk business. The atmosphere was quite nice, with a great view of the brew area, which was actually in use while we were there. Got to watch a hop addition, and some other stuff. We had eaten lunch prior to coming, and were having dinner elsewhere shortly after, so only got a mozzarella plate, but it was excellent. Beer sampler was reasonably priced. Beers were nothing amazing, but still decent. Overall a nice place and one I would love to swap with the brewpub up the street from me. | | ben4321 (117), Hoboken, New Jersey | | January 12, 2010 A pretty solid brewery. They had quite a few options on draft, and some non-standard brewpub choices, which is always nice. The beers were solid, not overwhelmingly good, but solid for sure. I liked the food as well. Lots of options, from steaks, to pasta, to seafood, to German style food, to deli, there was something on there for just about anyone. Our server was nice enough, though he didn’t seem overly knowledgeable about the beer. We went their for dinner, and sat at a table, not the bar, and I had no idea they had anything on cask or any guest beers. The menu only listed their own stuff, and didn’t even mention which ones were available and which were not, I had to ask the waiter for that information. Nice place, but that part was pretty annoying.
| pbts (1), New Jersey does not count - explanation | | July 6, 2009 The food was quite good. What struck me most was that the beers were served at the right temperature (e.g. the A.B.C. bitter was served at room temperature). This seems rare for the area... | | lowgun1212 (13), Carlstadt, New Jersey | | June 29, 2009 Nice place. Food is solid to very good. Nice range of beers. Very friendly staff in my experience. Their growler didnt seal for me though and i ended up with flat cask bitter. | gservo (1), New Jersey does not count - explanation | | June 7, 2009 My Favorite pub, im there almost once a week, they have great(but sometime pricey) food along with fantastic House Beer.
| smashteroid (3), does not count - explanation | | October 27, 2008 I always enjoy a fun trip to Gaslight with some old friends when I am visiting family on the east coast. The bar stools the front room are almost always occupied. There is a positive vibe to the restaurant. Their beer cheese soup is a must. The sandwiches and burgers are both good (try the pizza or salsa burgers), and their more upscale cuisine is prepared well, too. The booze selection is middle of the road, but some of their brews (Wee Heavy, especially) make for good session beers. The service is good, the food is good, the beer is good. What else could you possibly want? | NaturalMystic (1), , New Jersey does not count - explanation | | September 25, 2008 I am a huge fan of Gaslight, excellent place. Yes, some of the family members there can be a little grumpy once in a while...but it’s because they truly run their restaraunt as a ’family’ style place. Anyway, the food is always good, no matter what you get. I’ve had almost everything on the menu through the years...but you’ll want to pay attention to their Garlic Shrimp, BBQ Pork Quesadilla’s, any of the German bratwurst/sausage dishes, Pasta with Chicken & Pesto, and ANY of the deserts - which are usually always home made. They also generally have exciting specials from weekend to weekend, that range from new appetizers and salads to dinners and deserts.
The beer is excellent, especially the Bison Brown & the Bulldog Blonde. Their beers generally range from 4.5% ABV to 6.0%. They also stock an impressive array of harder to find beers, both in bottle and on tap, as well as carry ’guest beers’ from season to season.
I prefer the bar area to the dining area, much nicer, cozier place. I must admit the dining area is somewhat....plain jane and boring. Needs to be re-done. But the bar area and adjacent bar seating area is fantastic to be in, with darts, shuffleboard & video games as well. Excellent overall! |
