Old Bay Restaurant, The Review

The meals and service were above our expectations. We really liked the environment of this spot. Awesome restaurant to take my family out for lunch.

very nice ambiance. great selection of beers on tap. loved the music played by DJ (PUNJABI !)

Great beer, fair prices, great waitresses! Would be a 5 star joint, but on friday night it was louder than any bar I have ever set foot in! So loud my ears rang for 3 days so far! Everyone in there had to tell to be heard. Wow!

Great wing special during college football Saturdays!

Awesome place. Great food. Great environment. Dueling pianos is fun. Highly recommend!!!

Great Pub for drinks and conversation. Food was pleasingly good. It could use a face lift.

Outdoor dining was very comfortable. Fountain going in the background. Excellent service and better food. I'm going back again!

Super friendly staff and they have one of the tastiest burgers around!

Good as hell great atmosphere megan the bartender is very nice made my whole night!!

A beautiful place in heart of town. Friendly staff ... do try steak bites

Staff is always timely even when they have a full house. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back. Prices were reasonable. I can see why they have a lot of positive reviews.

Great place, fun vibe! Guinness lounge, fun drinks! Highly recommend! Parking garages around.

I have to give a 1 star so that I can give a review, or else it s not even worth 1 star. The worst experience ever! It used to be Old Bay and everyone knows each other & was a friendly atmosphere. But now, it s like no one cares since the owner wasn t there most of the time and the management sucks!! The owner needs to step up. There are better bars around the area like Tumulty s or GSA.

I've had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.

The wait staff was very attentive and the food was ethnically appropriate and tasty

Good beer selection, nice food, not too expensive place. Nice outside area for smokers. Staff are not the most friendly, but it's what I expect from a Irish pub

A great place. Enjoyed our evening .. loved the decor and staff. Do try Irish nachos.

I went to this restaurant last night with my two boys. I was really excited to eat here cause I really liked the one in Kenilworth. Unfortunately it was a horrible experience. The service was ridiculously slow. It took over forty minutes to get our food. My one son ordered the pizza he ate one slice and said it tasted funny so he didn t finish the rest. He then ordered Mac and cheese since he was still hungry and that took another ten minutes to come out. My other son got a burger that was supposed to be cooked medium, but come out completely well done and was very dry. I ordered the steak which the waitress said ahead of time was good. But when it came out it had no flavor at all. It was also so tough that it made it almost inedible. And for some reason the carrots that came with it were sour which was gross as well. After telling the waitress what I though about the steak she replied with let me see what I can do. When the check was eventually brought to me I was still charged full price for my dinner which more than half of it was still on the plate. There was was no part of this dining experience that was enjoyable and we will not be going back.

As an Irishman who works in New Brunswick, I find myself here often for great drink specials and solid meals.

Currently sitting in this establishment and my bartender is too busy yawning to conversate with me, the only patron in the building...

My family of 4 along with other guests without prior announcement. The understaffed restaurant had waitress named Jessica and she did a brilliant job. We got the food pretty quickly. The food is good, with gluten-free offered and vastly carnivore friendly. Nachos is based on fried potatoes, not corn chips. Beer is very nice, with some specialty choices. Excellent for sporting events.

Great vibes, beautiful atmosphere. Drinks are prices but worth it.

This is where you go before stress factory shows. Fast service, good food, wait staff will get you in and out efficiently. Apparently lots of college kids watch sports games here too- but for comedy purposes this is the place!

Great food and drinks. They are great at helping plan corporate events.

One of the best restaurants I've even been to. A Must go place.

Awesome environment for friends and family with great food and amazing service. Highly recommend it!

Drink special for Monday included $2.50 Abita draft which was excellent! The corned beef for the Reuben was plentiful and delicious. Malt vinegar as a condiment was a definite plus. Fries, sandwich and a beer for $15 was great value. I would recommend this place.

I must start by saying that i judged this book by its cover. But I'm beyond words to the fact that I still entered this establishment. From the appetizer the steak bits are absolutely mouth watering good. The wine choices are A1 and the customer service is phenomenal. Great work here guys.

Had dinner with friends, only positive is that the service and staff were great. But the food is another story. Wings and quesadillas were tasteless. I got the chicken Murphy sandwich, there is no mention of curry in the description of this sandwich on the menu, and that was all I tasted, terrible, if that s not what you were expecting. My buddy got the corned beef as a platter, he said it was horrible, looked like dried out cardboard, barely ate any of it. The only thing that was good were the steak tidbits appetizer I would never go back for food, just drinks.

Service was slow. Food was mediocre at best. Online menu was different than menu in restaurant. Entire restaurant was empty and they sat us next to table of 8, who were so loud we couldn't have a conversation at our table.

Had a great burger here while in town for a concert. They serve Innis & Gunn, which is worth at least an extra star from me. Nice heated outdoor seating area too.

Best spot in New Brunswick!! Amazing food and incredible drinks. The roast beef on weck was out of this world!

Nice atmosphere, service was a bit understaffed. Most of the food was very good. Dessert was excellent. Great bar with over 24 handles

Great place with excellent atmosphere and entertainment!! BEER GOGGLES !!!

Their irish food selection is on point. The shephards Pie was delicious and their bands that they had mostly were on point for the armosphere

I blackthorn bar its good place to be at peace with the
