Nice atmosphere. Great music. My only issue is that the music was a bit too loud. Impossible to have a conversation. Outside of that, the drinks were great. I ordered a pineapple patron margarita and it came in a nice mini patron bottle. Very nice presentation. All of the waitresses are very attractive as well. This is more of a place you go to with the guys than a place you bring your girlfriend. Also, most people speak Spanish in the establishment.Parking is interesting. Sometime they have valet parking.

My family enjoyed our meal. The only complaint was the taco salad which had a vinegar type taste to it. I will definitely be going back for another lunch/dinner.

I have been to this spot many times but this is my first review. This is a cool spot just for drinks and to watch the game. They have an outdoor and indoor seating area. The food isnt that great but it will do if you are there to hang out and watch the game. The waitress we had was ok, I did have to get her attention at times. The drinks we ordered was ok as well. I had a decent experience.

So we came here during covid. I understand now why it was empty. These people are really just money hungry and only care about people who are spending $1000 plus. 1 we called before we came to ask about covid restrictions because it was my boyfriends birthday and I know there’s a limit on people. The person on the phone did not mention a limit on people. She said there was no cover charge mind you we we’re going there on a Saturday at 3pm. During covid you don’t have a lot of people there anyways. So they had a problem first because we told them 8 people were coming but maybe 2 more. We sat in the patio at the table and then because we told them more people were coming they wanted to “upgrade” and then have us sit at the 10 person section even though that wasn’t mentioned beforehand. That section forces you to buy bottles which we didn’t want to do because it was happy hour. The “section”we sat at was vip so they want to charge more to have you sit there above everyone else. We had to move sections in order to accommodate 1 more person really( it was 9 of us). The waitress didn’t really care to give the best service because she was already getting a tip regardless. Lastly, they had a soccer game on and NO music so I’m paying to watch a game (have better deals then) Overall we had a good time but I think they could really step it up and stop waiting on these $1000 tables that may never come. It was an ok vibe wouldn’t completely recommend.

Awesome spot, specially with COVID going on. The lobby has a very open lay out which makes it easy for inside dining. They also play most sports and have many TVs set up for everyone’s comfort and safety. The food and customer service were also really good earning the lobby a five star review. Thanks for keeping people sane during these hard times.

VERY UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCEThey don’t follow safety guidelines at allThe bouncer was disrespectful and did not wear a mask.He should learn how to conduct himself with women much older than him or of different color before he loses his job that he should be grateful forThey treat this place like its club in NYC when it’s just a regular sports bar with hookah in ElizabethThey overcharge for everything and force you to pay for things you don’t want to orderAfter the pandemic you think they would handle things differently and want to make $$ the right way but no I don’t see them lasting much longer.

Always popping... Mainly Latin, but a diverse crowd and music... Hookahs could be better however customer service is exemplary... Spacious, safe and an overall communal vibe

What can I say? Their dry fried chicken wings are amazing! I always order two of these and bring it home. They are always busy and get a lot of business. Highly recommend trying the wings!

After waiting on line and buying a mask to enjoy my night, the MANAGER OR OWNER was not so pleasant... I was with my sister and her best friend, and the best friend could not come in because she was supposedly on drugs! How do u just voice such a bold statement about someone you dont know just because theyre being nice to you, especially with everything going on in this world right now, we need some humor. Our night was ruined because our friend could not come in based on assumptions. NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL. So I asked what she did wrong to be told to not come in? now the story was changed to, shes too DRUNK!... SERIOUSLY!... WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO THE CLUB AND DO?..I dont know how his day was going, but obviously not so good. That’s not how an owner should behave. I bet if we had a male figure around us we would have been treated differently.

The food is great, however if you want to order online their menu is limited, but if you order from Uber eats you get the full menu, their website is not Clear and again is limited to a few items. Also they have fish tacos listed and it is a wrap not tacos.

Amazing food, service could def be a lot better. For obvious reasons they hire very good looking staff and more than once i felt like servers and/or bartenders had their noses up in the air a little up too high. I found hair in my food once, i told them that i lost my appetite but i would take it home with me and pay full price anyway... i didnt even receive an apology. I was a bit thrown off by that but i like to give people and places a few chances.

Good music, food, I went to the Sunday brunch. $25 refundable reservation fee.

Beautiful place loved the music and the football game and that screen, just cant be fair its so huge..... Just wish the staff even appeared less bias. They seem to make rules up as they went along. When meeting with another group of friends they attempted to get us to pay $2000.00 for vip when we only showed up for the game not an exclusive or elaborate party event. This was their fix instead of suggesting it or offering us an additional table. That happened to be an idea I thought up as a solution and BAM. However our crowd of 9 felt uneasy after that so it kind of killed the vibe. It sucks because it seemed promising to deliver a GREAT time before the confusion, and selective treatment.

This was a very good bar I went to when staying at the Days Inn next door. The bartenders and waitresses were all beautiful Spanish women who looked like modeling sorts, the drinks were well made, excellent seats and bar countertop, Good interior design, Very Clean facility, good TVs for sports games, they had a wide selection. Dont judge the place by its location or the status of the parking lot, its a very good bar to go to.

We arrived at this spot for dinner. we heard about this restaurant from quite a few people. Well, it was very successful. the crew were so friendly and we had a fantastic feeling. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we will visit this place again. Recommended.

Very chill laid back, good food and drinks, wonderful crowd N DJ Camilo always does his thing!!

This is my go to spot,always popping,all staff i have encountered are super nice

Safe social distance vibes while enjoying the NBA playoffs!!! Average Bar food. Establishment seemed clean. Overpriced liquor bottle menu!!! Henny Coladas were very good. Free Parking!!!

I came on Sunday with a group of 8 people for brunch. We arrived a little after 3pm. I messaged the Lobby instagram account and they confirmed that brunch is 3pm to close. The server told us that they are not doing brunch today. We were upset and had no other choice. We asked about eating outside rather than upstairs but the server also told us that we will not be able to have hookah outside only upstairs. I later found that was very false information. The server also told us there is a minimum of $35 per person (which we had no problem with) but I later find out other people were told $25. After being seated upstairs, we had to wait very long periods of time till we saw our server again to make an order for food and even just for drinks. The drinks did not look like anything on the menu and the food was not great as well. I messaged the instagram account about this but they left me on seen. My overall experience with the Lobby explains the one star review.

My experience here was yet again unpleasant. When me and friends first arrived they took our temperature and IDs. When the waitress came to serve, she informed us that it would be $25 min for each person for them to serve us. NO PROBLEM. More friends come and by then for about 4 hours we spent over $1000 ALREADY exceeding the limit of $25 per person. Now they are complaining about the people coming in further more to attend the gathering willing to spend over the amount they request to sit and dine. More friends come and didn’t mind sitting at another table but they complained about us even conversing with them. Unfortunately some time ago we’ve decided not to support the establishment because of feeling poorly treated because of our race. We feel like hey we’ve got the money no problem but then they start to complain about minor issues that shouldn’t even be an issue but we really know it’s really about our race. Some establishments really still don’t accept you because of your race even if you spend money. It’s very unfortunate.

Decent food, environment is great, customer service is great 7 out of 10 times. Drinks are good. Parking is limited. But needs to work on recipes.

In a time of social distancing and only having 25% capacity the place felt like a petri dish of good luck everyone. The line to get in was as expected for an establishment operating at full capacity as it was one must consider whether or not the evening crowd is aware of such things or if they dont care and it is what it is.

If I could leave zero stars I would. Terrible experience. Security told us we werent allowed to dance at the table with the people we came with yet when confronted we were told if we were in “vip we were allowed to dance”. When we got our bill, they tried to bill us 3 bottles extra because they thought we were drunk. To top the night off we went to see DJ Camillo and he didnt even show up. Who is running this place? It was the most unpleasant experience I have ever had at a lounge/club in my entire life. I plan to contact the state in regards to their actions.

I will do the lobby anytime any day I will recommend this to anybody this is the best of the rest you going there youll have a feel youll have a ball youll have fun excited entertainment in action its on there come by the lobby you will not regret know how to say whatever happens in Las Vegas stay in Las Vegas so what happens in the lobby stays in the lobby thats the way the life is ️️️️️

Great spot get there early gets packed might get seated in restaurant area

This place isnt bad, but it could be A LOT BETTER!! The lack of communication on policy and procedure is terrible. I had to call 5x to get more clarity on the VIP section. Nadia was the ONLY person who took care of me (with no attitude). Then one of the other hosts was trying to throw shade when I gave Nadia a compliment. (Smh, that’s a bad look)

Beware, went in and had a couple of martinis. I paid cash for each as opposed to handing over my credit card which I never do. After tipping the bartender 2.00 for each I looked closer at the receipt only to discover that they already added a 15% tip to the bill. I complained and the response was Im so new I didnt know. What a scam.

Good experience Food not the very best but its good for a bar. I enjoy myself here. Came to Lobby in the summer after corona virus. Will be back

Customer service was great. They had security at the door to make you feel safe and cant miss the fact that the food and drinks were awesome!!!

It is very unorganized. We received different information on the phone and in-person. They have some sort of two hour per table booking system and no one bothered to tell us on time that we had to re book and be done with our dinner at a certain time. It all feels very rushed and that they don’t care the customers. Observation: Only The music is good

Nice sports bar. Good music, food, and drinks!

I visited the slobby just to unwind and have a drink and a plate of food only to be greeted with very unpleasant and neglectful service . As an african American male I take this experience very unwelcoming as other patrons were treated and attended to eat before me and my companion while we were already in the establishment. We were treated very badly here . The bar tenders ignored us the whole time we sat there . We had to get up and call one of the them to give us a bill so we can leave while the place was not pack .

The food is ok nothing great. The hostess was nice. They scan your licence and sell your info should be illegal. From now on I go to places that ID with a passport.

I was there yesterday with my friend and we order soem drinks and food. When the food arrived it arrived to the table next yo us and the people next to us were talking over our food while they were trying to figure it out what table it belonged to. When our waitress was coming towards us she said it was oir food so the guy brought to our table after 3 people were actually talking over our food with no mask. We told our waitress that we didnt feel comfortable eating the food and that we were sending it back. She told us but no one was talky over it and we told her that we saw the whole thing. I like goign to lobby bjt I will no longer eat there. Lobby should do the same thing as other places that served food and bring it to the table covered with plastic to protect their customers more specially during covid-19. Please be aware when waiting for your food to get to your table. I was so grossed out after seeing that .

Fight broke out, ppl were throwing bottles, hookah... over price bottle service

Amazing atmosphere for soccer games which is both unique and a blessing for a passionate soccer lover like myself. Its amazing how so many enthusiasts come here during big games and the staff handles them all without breaking a sweat. The drinks are cheap and well priced, food is great for a dedicated busy bar. The only downside was the $25 cover charge per person, which I felt was a little too much especially when you are with people who dont drink, they should consider repricing that or maybe add more bar stools.

$50 min per person and 3hr time limit, R U CRAZY! way too expensive for this time in life. 2 stars jus bcos the place is sports friendly

Nice spot to watch sports, listen to some good Latin music, enjoy some good food and hookah. Hookah on a Wed is very reasonably priced but they dont change coals. You have to get a new hookah each time the coals are done. Food is great! Plenty of TVs so youve always got a view!

I’ve been to the Lobby pre Covid-19 it was always the spot to be on a Saturday night! Excepting the new way of life I was excited to try and have a normal night at the club. Reservations, spending minimum no problem & two hours at your table limit. Fine I except the “NEW” rules. But when I show up have my table ready(15 min wait)don’t give me an dimwit server who hides more than work... the place is at half capacity, no body is walking or dancing on the floor to stop her from doing her job, 20mins before our time is up our food finally comes, I ask the next table for extra napkins and eating utensils.... really Lobby do better.

Amazing ambiance to go have a good time with friends and family and the food is excellent

The lobby is a nice club. I do like that woman are free all night. I ordered food while there and the food was good. I feel like security enforces the rules and dress code for black people more.

Normally going next to the Motel 6 for food is not a precursor for good food, but that is not the case for THE LOBBY restaurant. Good salads well cooked fresh vegetables, and Excellent Broiled Seafood can be found here. Cold beer, creative drinks and fun Appetizers are also found at this locals hideaway. And, by the way, at very affordable prices, entrees were $15-20. bracket. If you are in the area, give them a try.

Over priced menu items.Overzealous security. Seems unorganized due to Covid19. Mask on if using the restrooms or leaving your table. Reservations required upon entry.Rated 2 stars only because it was close to my hotel. Masking up takes away from the experience were use to prior to Covid.Orlando. Atlanta, Ga.

We had reservations and still had to stand on line for 40 minutes!!!! When we told them we had reservations they said it didnt matter we still had to wait!!!! Then we got inside and after about 45 minutes to 1 hour we had to go chase a waitress just to get service!!! When we talked about this or try to complain they got annoyed with us!!!! This place is very unprofessional and the service is I swear to God the most horrible Ive had in my life!!!!then they told me I had to wear a mask when 50 or 60 patrons in the place were sitting there without masks but me I had to wear a mask!!!! Ive never had such a bad experience I dont recommend this place for anybody Dont go there or youre going to be very disappointed!!!!

I always have good food here when they were open but today was a bad experience with my wings they was fried so hard it was no meat and I called and you think they would at least refund me for my chicken all they said was we will let the chef know. Im going to post a photo because this is unacceptable and Ive been a customer for years.

Came here after a birthday celebration dinner for my friend just for some nice vibes. I honestly dislike coming here and always give them chances but I think this will be my last. We called to make sure they were serving hookah & drinks outdoors. The customer rep on the phone said yes they were. If there were any stipulations. TELL US ON THE PHONE! We arrived and were asked to be seated outdoors bc we would be ordering hookah just for them to tell us what we cannot receive hookah because this is a “VIP” thing & “VIP” is reserved and “booked.”We should’ve been told that when we called and specifically asked for hookah. To add insult to injury. In a very Unpacked place. We had to ask 3 employees and waited for over 40 mins for anyone to come to our table. The waitress finally came and everything we ordered was her favorite -___-I’m soo over this place.

Poor customer service. The vibe was off

2 floors venue. 3 separate DJs on Weekends. Sometimes the place could get very crowded on weekends and its hard to move around. The food and menu options are great. Wednesday they host free dance lessons which is always fun. Would recommend.

Great place..Lots of confusion with Reservations..Management addressed my Issues immediately..My server a Young Lady by the name of Amber went above n beyond to make my experience there great on my Birthday..Thank You..Will be back.

I’ll admit the place looks nice. But the service is horrible and they are straight up thieves. Don’t support this kind of business.

Nice security, nice menu, nice people and the hottest waitresses in Jersey

Ive never been a lounge or any othersocial establishment that conducts worsebusiness etiquette than @thelobbynj or@barcodenj from their drinks, to their poorly attentive and arrogant staff to the unprofessional security team and under qualified management , its subpar in service, nothing different than a poorly managed backyard house party. You’ll be sitting in line an hour to be cut off by 10 people because they are friends someone from within, or a bartender who suddenly decides he or she doesn’t wanna take your order but serves everyone behind you, or order a bottle that costs 200 dollars and receive it an hour later and be forced to dump it because it’s near closing time and you can’t take the liquor home, to them losing your ID and Credit, Card and or personal belongings. The amount of negative experiences I’ve had as a very frequent customer is incredible. I would literally visit 2 to 3 times a week after work for years to get a few drinks and give them my business, you’d think I’d get better service. I’d rather visit a place 3 hours away.

Ordered fried calamari and lost my appetite after opening the container. It was mushy, smelly and gave my Boyfriend a stomach ache. Paid over $70 dollars for the meal and part of it was not delivered. Not ordering again.

No peas was in my husband pasta. And pasta only cost .99 cent! You sent this small amount for $23.99 and no chicken. If i would have came for pickup myself i would have never spent money in this restaurant. I dont know if they give more food for ur money if u Dine in the restaurant. I will never order Uber Eats from here again

Love the atmosphere and energy, plus they were super clean and conscious of covid19

Establishment is very latin-inspired And this includes the music in the food. The staff from the security to the entryway and the servers are very respectful. And helpful. However, the bartenders need to be able to move around the Bar and attend to everybody. You cant just pick and choose who you want to serve.

Was a loyal lobby goer prior to covid and I knew certain things were going to change on top. However I didnt realize how terrible the food and the service is once you take away what they specialize in and thats just being a club. To top it off, went outside to my car, which the bouncer said was ok, and wouldnt let me back in, even though I received permission and my date was still in there. I highly suggest finding another establishment, like mamasushi or mamajuana in woodbridge. The lobby is not the place to be

Went there for the first time and upon entering they started to take our temperatures and ask for id to scan and date of birth. What do you need next...to draw blood!?! Then the girl proceeded to tell us theres a $25 minimum per person. Wait, were going in with children and you guys decide to impose a $25 minimum per person to make up for the money you lost while you were shut down during the quarantine?? That was enough to make us leave right away!! I would never step foot in that establishment even if they offered free food now. Thats just bad business practices and I hope people stay away! I try and support local businesses, but when you try and take advantage, you lost me altogether.

The best sports bar and lounge/nightclub in the area. A wide selection of liquor to chose liquor and great food too. Great place to watch the game or just chill with your friends. I highly recommend this place. Why go to NYC and pay 3x as much when you have something local.

If I could leave zero stars I would. Terrible experience.

Its a cool spot .

It’s lame that they stop letting people in an HOUR before closing smh. Then POST 2am ONLY.

Good food and good music

Better price then bar code

A bit out of the way unless you are staying at the airport but this is a great place to hang for an afternoon to watch some football. A walk from most of the hotels, this is definitely worth a stop. Sliders were awesome - bar service, while a bit slow, staff was friendly. Looks like a great place to hit during summer - while closed right now, they have a jumbo screen and outdoor bar area thats really cool. Menu has a great selection - pretty diverse for a place this size. Pool tables for those that want to play. I was stuck nearby on a Sunday and it was a great place to relax and watch the games on the big screens they have all over.

The worst service I’ve had. Next time they should make the bus boy the waiter because he basically took care of us.

Atmosphere was great. Lighting was good. Food came out timely. Price is ok for quality. Drinks are fairly priced. Salsa Wednesday was the best part. Wouldnt bring the kids-well at night

Great place good food..nice embionce

The food is really good! Friendly waitress.

Love this place clean and they make you feel comfortable

Its cool just dont raise the price on the beer higher than $6.00 per bottle. you want good- cool good people, to come out there homes and spend some money ok. but it was cool cool atmosphere.

I loved the food.

Great sports bar, beautiful waitresses.

Even though I couldnt get in to the outside because they had 20ppl ahead of me I decided atleast to get a drink to go.. But that was a mistake because when it came out first the front hostess was so rushy and rude, the drink wasnt frozen (called a frozen drink), and they didnt even fill the bottle to the top! Told the waitress and it took another 15mins to get me another which was also not frozen. Really! Well lost my business.

Fun place to watch El clasico. Really good food. Its hard to get attention of servers when you need something sometimes

Clean and safe during the day

This place is awesome to watch a soccer game at.

The Lobby is dope, nice place to hang out(You know im about that L

Celebrated a few parties here. Good vibes and strong drinks. Loving the DJs too. parking can be a problem so good luck

I had the turkey club the other day for lunch it was delicious with crispy fries it was totally a top notch club sandwich.. to bad I had work done in my mouth I could barely bite but it was a great sandwich Ill be back for sure... Soon

If it werent for how crowded the place can be I would give it a 5 stars . It lost another star because they took forever to get our bottle service and hookah that we ordered.

It was cool to have a bar so close to my hotel, but it’s definitely a locals club. They’re friendly but they aren’t trying to be your friend. But again it’s Newark so.....

I really love their dishes. I always get fantastic service here. The place is always clean and the employees are always kind. Keep up the good work.

Great spot to catch a football game. Huge TV screens and games to play. Music and DJ, drink specials and all types of variety of food. Would love to check out again to try other food and drinks. Prob best sports bar I visited in NJ

Great ambience! Customer service was superb! Food was scrumptious! Author Isadore Johnson

Thumbs down everything is sticky food and drinks were terrible cheap booze not worth it at all

Overrated and the food is horrible. Mind you theres a $25 minimum per person.....but the patio is nice.

Great atmosphere and drinks.

Great place for good time

Ok vibe. But do yourself a favor and walk with cash. Went with a group, half paid for drinks and hookah in cash, and yet was still charged on the card they kept on file. Place itself is pretty attractive.

Really nice place! Great DJ. They do play mostly Spanish music, but it was still good hip hop. Parking is atrocious! Expenisve drinks, but what bar in NY or NJ doesnt have expensive drinks. Overall I had a good time!

Love the venue and the service. Management is also great. We enjoy doing our Business Meet a d Greets at this venue.

Fun nightclub, first floor is like a typical American club and then you go to the second floor and is a classic Spanish club. Love this feature. Had lots of fun with my friends.

Overrated. Food is horrible. $25 minimum per person mandatory...Go to Mammajuannas in Paterson. A million times better.

Great place to hang out with friends, dance and have a few drinks. Great environment and music!

I met some nice women there their wings were good and the music was pretty good the crowd is mostly 35 and younger

Long line but moves quick, guys is $20 girls are free. Not too much room to dance loads of tables they have an outside patio and a second floor. They have hookah also music is great but always in repeat. Overall is good for chilling and eating what they serve.

Great vibes, especially the spanish side of the club. Theres also a hip hop section. Saturdays are jam packed. But dont make the same mistake I did. Being that it was my 1st time, I felt like I got hustled. Basically, any of the tables there you have to spend a minimum of $50, and that doesnt include the $26 hookah. You gotta spend it on drinks or food. Other than that, the place was slammin! Just dont be cheap and youll be straight.

Good service and fair prices! Missing 1 star because the security can be a little nicer to ppl being nice to them.

Service is good, food is fair to price
