Basically you would think dive bar when you first walk in, but after taking one look at the tap list you would probably be pretty shocked. Now the majority of the time its pretty standard craft beer choices, but if you take into consideration the area and how many other bars in northern NJ even have any craft beer that makes this place just a little better. I have seen a few events go through the place as well and it will shock you if you ever see some of them. Considering the normal selection of standard craft beer, like stone and troegs, you probably wouldnt expect them to get the more rarer stuff like say Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout or even the rarer Canadian Breakfast Stout but they did! Overall a great place to stop by after work if your in the area but by no means a place to go out of your way for unless its one of the few promo nights.

A true classic. George knows beer and likes to talk about it. A beer nerds bar run by a beer nerd. A can’t miss if your in the area

selection galore but a slightly awkward vibe. staff is friendly enough. not open for lunch (boo). the focus is the beer and they do it well. thats all that matters really. this is a great place to geek out on beer

Crazy place. Went for Founders beer night & they had ’em all lined up on tap + a few other selections including casks. Interesting tidbit: they always serve their beers with a kabob stick in the beer & a pretzel hanging over the side. Cool quirk. You wouldn’t know what to expect when you walk up to the place. It’s right behind a gas station & the outside of the place looks a bit on the sketch side. All of that disappears as soon as you walk in the door though. They’ve also got a 100 beer club, with plenty of participating locals. There were a ton of ’em there for Founders night; checking off their selections. Great place & right off 95 - definitely stop if you’re in the area.

Great place! Staff is top-notch. Excellent brew selection. Tons of bottles. I just wish they had more on tap. Thanks for the pretzels!

If you like good craft beer in clean lines, you’ll love Andy’s. There are so many places (like Firewater’s) that have a great beer selection but they don’t clean the lines and it makes a great beer suck along without moving the beers at all. At Andy’s I am guaranteed to have a great beer from every tap and different tapped beers each week. The cask-conditioned ales from the hand pumps are addicting to say the least. Not too many Jersey places have real cask-conditioned ale. Beware: some of the fire-engine hand pumps you see at other bars are not using real casked beer., tt is a gimmick. No gimmicks at Andy’s, they do offer this REAL beer. Promo nights are always fun as well. Atmosphere is always friendly and George is notorious for keeping the rif-raf out. Tom is missed though, George is not a sports nut like Tom so the TVs mostly remain off. However, even without Tom, I have to say Andy’s is my favorite bar in NJ. Hopefully Tom will come back!

Always enjoy my stops at Andy’s. It’s a great find to have a place that rotates their selection and is in touch with what they serve and what is out there. Couldn’t ask for a better or friendlier place to enjoy good beer.

I drive 30min each way to go to Andy’s. I’m closing in on my 66-beer T-shirt, in hopes of getting into the Fraternal Order of Foam. By the third time I was there, Tom knew my name and what I liked. Great place, even if they are Rangers fans.

the son likes to do things right. he cares about what he’s doin. the lady is a barkeep and she knows about beer. a straight up person. the owner is the salt of the earth. nice guy (remember you’re in n.j. monseiur brittanica) opens up easily and shows that he isn’t a cheapskate. people here open up easily to some interesting conversation. although it may not seem that way.

I was introduced to Andy’s about 2 years ago, and I fell in love ever since. It’s only 10mins from me driving, so it’s convenient. It’s like an unheard of bar, because of location and the town itself. But it is well worth the visit. The selection of beers are almost always great, last fall selection was a little weak. But I would have to say it is the best bar in NJ for serving Belgium style beers on tap. Other bars have tons of bottled craft beers, but Andy’s has them on tap, and clean taps at that. Service is always great, and yes, they remember your name. Very family feel to the place. Tom and George are very knowledgeable in beers. Promo nights are so fun, Heavyweight was always the best but now they are gone. But even on a quiet sunday afternoon, its great to visit, enjoy a tasty Belgium beer and sit back and relax. My only complaints are that the TVs are very small, and would be nice to have some bar foods. But then it is more than made up for with great beers. You can always bring your own food if you need. Tom’s weekly emails are great! A must visit for anyone who cares about great beers.
