Chubby's Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Bayonne

I run The Bayonne Chess Society & Club. We have events all over Bayonne, different venues. I approached the owner, Ed, and he immediately said, "Yes" He's a chess lover, and had been waiting forever for chess to come to Bayonne. We have almost 300 adult members, no idea how many children. We also have a Boardgame Division. We did this in THREE MONTHS.

We have two locations on members meet at on Fridays nights. Chubby's for a more mature atmosphere. People can go grab a beer, eat, and chill, while playing chess. If there are children, members meet at Joe's Pizza...4 blocks away. So, far I've had the cheesesteak sandwich and spicy fries. It was delicious. We meet at BOTH locations at 7 pm. No experience necessary. We have all levels of players young and old.

We also meet at Cafe 26 on Saturday afternoons. We have a boardgame Event night on Thursday nights, at Bayown's Vendor Mart from 6 pm to 10 pm. Members bring whatever game they're looking to play. The venue has a few of their own. It's crazy fun. We've also had events at Houlihans. We have other venues in the pipeline, as we continue to grow, as we're now getting members from other towns, like Hoboken, Jersey City, Hoboken, Oldbridge, and Paramus.

FINALLY, we have Free group chess lessons on Sundays at Chubby's. We're there from 2 pm until 5 pm. It's RSVP only, as space is limited. As we get more students we may go to another day for chess.

But, all in all, Chubby's is a chill place to go, eat, chill, socialize, and PLAY CHESS !! They also have a video game night !!! How did I not know this ???

For those interested in getting involved in a group that's growing like crazy, were on Facebook. Look us up. The Bayonne Chess Society & Club.

Remember, the chess is free. The venue isn't. Please patronize whatever...

So I have come to Chubbys quite a few times and the bartenders especially my girl Jackie and Sue have always been the most gracious! Well this passed weekend I stopped by and Jackie was working the bar when I noticed a man at the end of the bar be super rude l, drunk and belligerent. He was yelling at a customer as well as Jackie being extremely rude. After a while I found out this was ACTUALLY The owner of the place!! I was completely and utterly appalled and saddened that he would treat his staff and a patron of the bar in this way. I would definitely go back just to see Jackie and Sue as long as he’s not around! He gave a totally bad vibe not to mention closing down the kitchen early while three orders were newly put in! Not...

I was in town visiting a friend and I stopped by to check this place out. The bar tender Jackie was a total sweet heart but I couldn’t help to notice that this guy was being belligerent at the end of the bar showing disrespect to her. Come to find out it’s the owner ? And he was drinking and hanging out and Micromanaging her. Besides that It was a nice place and wish I could have ordered food but he demanded that the kitchen is closed at an earlier time than expected. I might give this place another visit as long as the owner isn’t there just bad vibes with the yelling and banging on...
