Brass Monkey Pub — Restaurant in Sayreville

I've been a regular now for a yr and half I'd say I'm there 2x a week sometimes more playing in my pool league.Id admit my initial impression was intimidating kinda place when busy everyone gives you the stare down(PLEASE KEEP READING).But as I come to find out it's a bar and restaurant of hard working Americans who live in New Jersey a state where we are rough around the edges,we take no sh* and we break bl*s,so if you survive the initial stare down (harmless)and your not so damn sensitive you'll understand that you have walked into a gem of an establishment ,a family owned and run business.Sheri is the nicest owner a genuine sweetheart and a fantastic cook,(The best Meatloaf ever)she is joined by daughter and bartender Kira who is a great bartender who tells it like it is so if you come expecting a stroke of your ego not happening but rather a cold one in front of you before your empty hits the bar,she's spot on,and very soft on the eyes(very pretty) and so is Christine and Jackie and the rest of the staff.All are very efficient and hard workers and friendly .If you are looking for great food and cold beer you'd be foolish to listen to these soft (Karen's)and their feelings were hurt reviews,think for yourselves grow a pair and get there yourself and have a drink and grab a bite and you can thank...

Very friendly atmosphere, great food when you actually are allowed to order.

Bartender has a nasty attitude , if to many people are at the bar (more then 3 ) she will roll her eyes if you want to order food. “Why does everyone have to order at the same time” she states to us. I’m sorry but if you are working for an establishment you should be a little bit more friendly, if you do not like your job you should quit. I have been to this bar before and this is the second time I was reccomned to order something else since the bartender did not want to make that item. I think that this is unfortunate since my friends and I come here and pay darts most of the time and to order food.You can never order cheese steaks what a shame. What is so hard about that . Not sure. I don’t think...

It’s an okay pub- as a real cowboy drinker, it’s a shame they don’t carry basic bourbon like markers mark. Wings were good, my company had salad- seemed fresh. Price point is great. However, the vibe seemed a bit off here. Bartender might be having a bad night- but got a slight cold shoulder for nothing. Extremely no frills here. I lived in 23 states- going to various joints. Woulda been nicer if is she was a good sport. A good rapport goes a long way- Word to the wise. Can’t comment about locals here. Don’t expect...
