Best Cocktail Bars in South Amboy

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at 618 for Valentine's Day and it truly exceeded my expectations in every way! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful decor - the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern and elegant touches. But what really made my experience stand out was the exceptional service. Our server Nick was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking the time to answer all our questions and make recommendations. He was prompt and efficient, refilling drinks and clearing plates with a smile. And then, of course, there was the food. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented. I was blown away by the quality and every bite was a delight. Overall, I would highly recommend 618 to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The combination of stunning decor, outstanding service, and incredible cuisine makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a special night out.

Valentines Day Special Event was everything. I had the whiskey sour. We chose between a few course choices. Part of a 4 course meal. The calamari was the best. The steak was made to my liking. We went to celebrate Valentine’s Day and now the day after I am still thinking about the calamari. The business has been in service for 35 years and I hope they continue to deliver on special events such as this. The server I had did not have a name badge but his recommendations were good and he delivered excellent service.

In a word—outstanding! This was our second visit to Metropolis, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Maître d' Isaiah, who set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our server Ira was not only attentive but also knowledgeable, offering insight into each dish with enthusiasm that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Chef Sherry's culinary creations were a true work of art—both in taste and presentation. Each bite was a revelation, and the appetizers in particular were nothing short of spectacular. If I could describe it, it was like a celebration of flavors in my mouth— my taste buds were dancing with delight and craving more after every bite. We've dined at top restaurants all over the world- but Metropolis stands out, to us, as one of the best. Chef Sherry, thank you for making this Valentine's truly special. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience!

Really great ambiance, spacious for a rooftop, no one is on top of each other. Had free chocolate fondue for Valentine’s Day which was so cute! Great music and ambiance, wait staff was very attentive and sweet and the cocktails were great! Will definitely be coming back

We tried Brothers Daly for the first time last night and it was excellent! Our sever Jake mentioned he was new to serving but he did a great job. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made good recommendations, and was attentive but not over bearing. We ordered a few drinks, a bunch of apps, and split an entree. The soda bread was some of the best ive had and was not dry like the grocery store version. My husband said the french onion soup was one of the best hes ever had and all of our cocktails were delicious. Definitely adding this place to our rotation
