I am a fan of Gaslight. It’s only about an 8 minute walk/stumble from my place and that makes for some pretty interesting nights. The crowd is a bit younger considering it’s located right down the street from Seton Hall University. I’ve always had excellent service and the bartenders seem to be friendly and helpful. They usually have anywhere from 3 to 7 of their own brews on tap with a selection of up to 20 guest beers (estimates). Perfect for NFL Sundays as they have enough TV’s and the DirecTV NFL package so you can watch any game you want.

My experience recently was actually pleasent. I mean I didn’t expect it to be bad it was just better than I expected. I had a few beers on tap including the new winter which was Satan Claws. Info on those read my reviews. The place is and average looking bar but nice size with the brew tanks around the corner in the back visible from the dining area. Pretty cool. The food was very good. I just had a burger and it was great, the menu did have a good variety though which wa good. Beer wa served in the proper glassware and the staff was pretty nice and friendly.

Beer was not great, but plan to give it a second try (its been over a year). Had a very bad pumkin ale. Food is the problem. It was bad. Too bad, close to home.

Visited when in town for business. Street parking in front. Clean older building with brewing in the front and bar in front center with tables for food and beverages in the back. Eight standard and seasonals on tap. All were drinkable brews. Freindly bartender. Germany food menu, but could not eat.

This was a pretty average brewpub experience, at best. Sat at the bar and ordered a sampler of all the beers, I think there were eight good sized samples for $11.50, and also two dishes (wurst plate and small margherita pie). The wurst plate was $8 and amounted to less than a whole sausage worth of three different sausages, terribly small portion, but tasty, and it came with about two tablespoons of potato salad and 1/4 cup of kraut. The bar pie was NOT margherita - more like bowling alley-type heated in a toaster oven. Not good. The menu was extensive and might be worth a re-visit. There was a nice range of beers from helles and dry stout to some kind of belgian strong ale. Some were so-so but mostly they seemed sub-par and three or four had serious diacetyl issues. Besides their own beer, they have a few decent others like Lindemans and Chimay. Some of the patrons, seemingly regulars, were, um, interesting characters.

I was at this place on business with some business friends. We were not there on business, but rather to eat. After rating three of their beers in a typical manner at the dinning room table with my friends watching me intently on what and how I was rating the beers, I was thrown out! Out into the bar area at least. There I was able to continue rating. Then my friends said that was ridiculous and joined me in the bar area. I could not believe what I was hearing! The owner evidently did not like having business conducted in her dining room. We were not "Conducting Business". So, now I get to rant here! The beer was so-so but the bartender was knowledgeable and the wait staff was attentive. My recommendation is to go there and try the beers, but DO NOT DO IT IN THE DINING AREA! YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT!

We ate in the bar area during lunchtime -- nice-looking place. There was nothing special about their beers, but the food was decent and service adequate (although they knew nothing about the beers they were serving). I should mention that they had a number of good beers available, just that they weren’t the ones they brewed.

a nice looking brewpub with lots of exposed brick. Beers brewed on premise were average, food was good. I liked the fact that they had guest beers both on tap and in the bottle. Also liked the german selections on the menu for something different. I would go back for the food rather than the beer. Bartender knew beer and was very helpful.

A decent brewpub with good food, above average beer, and a real nice decor. The beer was not remarkable, but fine. Also had some nice other choices as well. The price might be a little high for their stuff, but not ridiculous.
