Olde Queens Tavern — Restaurant in New Brunswick

Guinness Draught. $5.75 =)

This is an old school bar. You walk in and you definitely smell it. It's a typical college bar that's noisy and serve cheap drinks in plastic cups (that's a good thing....I think). The bartender at night is pretty cool. The place is pretty dark. Two TVs at the bar.....TINY TINY TVs, though. Although having both TVs centered in the middle of the bar would be ideal, they decided to place each TV at the opposite ends of the bar. Kinda annoying when you're trying to catch a game.

I honestly come here only for the Gunness (which they pour correctly....2 part pour in a proper pint glass).

I also occasionally order their blitzburgers as take out as well. Although they're not the best burgers around, they are tastier than other bar food I've had. And it's always nice to go home after a night of drinking with a greasy burger.

This place really only deserves 3 stars, but since the bartender is cool, I'll give them...

The establishment is approaching 100 years old-it opened in 1933-and to this day is consistently busy. This fact alone makes it one of the more successful bars in the United States. As you might expect, the service is very good, the bartenders are engaging and professional and the alcohol is the right temperature i.e. the beer is cold and the hard liquor is good! The music is current and good as well and the TVs are tuned in to the latest greatest sporting event. The patrons are even polite and respectful. The only food present these days is high quality popcorn but, it doesn’t take away from the experience. Olde Queens has a classic dive bar feel but it still manages to cater extremely well to the casual drinker and the experienced bar fly concurrently. In short, it’s a great bar and has proven itself as a consistently top-notch and fun experience for many...

It's unfortunate that I'll have to say this, but the bouncer there was completely racist. He let everyone else in the bar but singled out people of color. He kept allowing others who weren't colored to skip the line and get in and by the time he got to us he said sorry we're closed. This was clearly the most racist encounter I've had by far at a bar in New Brunsick. Even some white folks noticed it and called him out and even left because of this. It's a shame that we gotta deal with this. If I was able to give a 0 star review, I would do it a thousand times for this spot. Terrible! This spot is definitely on my NEVER...
