A S H Bar and Grill

3.5 stars! Do not be deceived by the rough exterior. Inside is actually a cool casual atmosphere and an ideal place to watch Sunday night football. Their pizza is delicious (EVEN though, the last time I was there some asshole grabbed a slice of pizza off our table and ran out the door before we even got a chance to eat it. The owner was nice enough to give it to us on the house). The wings are pretty spot on too. Check it out!

Atmosphere: Spacious, Marble Bar Top, 6 plus Jumbo Flat Screens, BIG Window view of the Avenue, Great Sound System.
Pricing: Super Cheap Menu (try the buffalo and philly wonton rolls. amazing), $ 1.50 16oz drafts, this place makes you feel like half your bill was comped by the owner.
Service: Very Friendly Bar staff and the owner treats everyone like family. The employees are knowledgeable and have a clean neat appearance.
Clientele: Everyone is very welcoming and extremely cool. Always a great ratio of womem and men. Might I mention the ladies are VERY Attractive.
Location & Parking: Conveniently located on Bloomfield Avenue which is right off the GSP in Bloomfield. Always plenty of parking available even on Friday and Saturday.
Overall Rating: A+ Its a must visit spot especially if you like a good DJ on Fri and Sat Night. Very efficient for Midtown Direct Commuters, near Watsessing station, so dont miss their Happy Hour!

I remember passing by this place a couple times but never thought to go in. Strolled in about 930 pm on a saturday night and the music was pumping the bar wasnt too crowded. Ordered a chicken quesadilla which was delicious, my friend ordered an American cheeseburger which was huge. I had two Amaretto sours, he had a mojito, jack daniels w coke and a Corona. I was shocked to see the total came out to 48.00. I wasn’t buzzed off of the two Amaretto sours but for the location and price– I will definitely be going back.

I’ve been here a few times. The bar area is nice, six flat screens, marble counter top. I usually get the Blue Long Island — always strong! No matter who makes it ;).
Anywho, if you just want to hang, get a drink, watch the game it does the job. They have certain events happening on special nights, on certain nights there’s a dj. Also a juke box. It’s pretty a chill. Today was the first time I actually ordered some food. I had the turkey burger & a salad, it was yummy!

Everyone here is family. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. This truly is the place where everyone knows your name. If you need a break from stress, ASH will cheer you up. Quickly.

I have to admit I love the service and the crowd. I went there with a few friends. I don’t know if was because of the girl I went with or what… the owner gave us free shots just when we walked in! And some random person I didn’t even know bought me a beer! The music I didn’t quite enjoy though.

First time here and I’m pleasantly surprised. The outside is kinda (insert ugly remark). Once you get inside, totally different story. Bartender super friendly! Got a really good and quality steak salad! They have no IPA’s but I’m definitely stopping by again.

I’ve been coming to ASH for a few years now. It’s local, affordable & the food is delicious! There’s always a mixed crowd (younger & older) & they stay until the end of the night because the music is always really good! The staff is friendly & attentive which is always a plus.
By far the best local joint around!

This place started off fine-​good drinks, music, and food. So in that aspect I have nothing negative to say. My friends and I went on a Friday night and had a good time. My complaint is directed to how this place closes at the end of the night. The waitress came over to our table for last call at 1:40. My friends got one more round of drinks which came around 10 minutes later. Within minutes one of the bartenders came around whistling obnoxiously loud for everyone to leave. We asked the waitress if we could finish our drinks and she said it wouldn’t be a problem and she would let the bouncer know that we had just ordered. However right after, the owner comes around, drink in hand, clearly drunk, telling everyone to get out. I said something to the waitress about how was obnoxious and rude it was that the owner and bartender were basically whistling and telling everyone to leave every other minute and if I knew that would be the case I would have never ordered that last round. My friend had barely made a dent in the drink that was served minutes before. Did they expect us to chug it in 5 minutes and leave? She apologized and did her best to assure us to take our time. However even the bouncer she informed to let us finish our drinks was telling us to leave. It’s not like we were trying to overstay and take our sweet time but if you order a drink you want to enjoy it and not have someone harass you to get out. The nonstop loud whistles and tellin everyone to leave did not stop so I said something to the bartender who didn’t have much to say. I explained they should move their last call up to 1:30 at least if they expect everyone out the door before 2 and I didn’t appreciate being rushed. If that was the case the waitress shouldn’t have insisted for us to get that last round. The situation was just handled so unprofessionally and left a bad taste in my mouth. The final response I got was «well I guess you’ve never been here before» to which I responded that I probably won’t be again. Overall don’t go here on a weekend if you are planning to stay until closing unless you like being herded out of an establishment like cattle.

cheap drinks, neighborhood joint, really good wings

Oh boy was this a fun place! Happy hour is amazing, the bartenders make GREAT martini’s. I love James’ (I think that’s his name) Cherry Lime-​Aid Martini, oh so good! But I get the feeling everyone knows everyone here lol
I will be coming back!

This place is alright if you are looking for a local place w/​music. They can’t mix drinks for crap tho. And you can expect it to be the kinda place w/​a sloppy crowd. Police is always around so I guess that’s a good thing. The main bar stays more like the bar n the back room is more like the lounge side but the ratchets are in both lol. How is it some guy had the nerve to light up a cig inside across from the bar while sitting at the table? The funny part was when he got kicked out fell on his back but the cig remained securely in his mouth somehow through the altercation. The bathrooms are pretty gross/​broken, its towards the lounge part and I got so many drinks spilled on me making my way through there. We got there at 8 n locked down a table all night. It started getting packed lik 10−11ish and super loud by midnight. It wasn’t awful but I don’t think I’d invite anyone out here again lol. But I would go back if I were invited. So yea its that kinda place.

While the cost of drinks is great, the rude waitstaff and lack of seating options really makes this place awful. 25 minutes for four drinks, one of which you messed up and blamed me for? (Long Island Iced Tea and Heineken sound completely different, FYI) If there’s any crowd here, go elsewhere.

Nothing special… I’ve seen it pretty packed on friday and sat nights.
Mostly locals.

We went in on a super quiet Saturday afternoon. Half of the bar was closed, but you can still see and walk into the other side… the side with a small dance floor, sound system, and a second bar. I’m interested to see if this place gets crunk afterhours.
We were at the sports bar side, I guess, with all the TV screens (small screens) and seating. The menu had traditional bar food, a few entrees, and «Big A.S.H. Sandwiches» with some pretty unique combos. We had already eaten, so all we ordered were some Buffalo wings. They were pretty good, except it didn’t come with any celery or carrots (we missed that part). Bartender did well on our drinks, so, no complaints.
P.S.
Cigarette vending machine with pictures of men with mustaches. Classic.
