Paul’s Tavern

Very weird vibe for a leather club but fresh pbr on tap. I would describe the ambience as Garrison Kielor’s a Prairie home companion meets Rocky Horror.

Good band on thursday nights

Great music enjoy it!

My friends and I ended up here because the line for Bar A was way too long, and I’m glad it was because we ended up having such a great time! The music was great– the band was really good. The crowd was awesome, everyone was so friendly including the employees. The place is big so you had room. My favorite part?! The drink prices! We ordered 6 vodka clubs and paid $ 24!!! Amazing. Can’t wait to go back :)

Great patio bar. With fun live entertainment. Look forward to going back. Great staff

Great live music every weekend, karaōke every tuesday, friendly bartenders and reasonably priced drinks. The kitchen has been transformed into more than just fried bar snacks, adding a Saturday raw bar and a fresh new menu. Daily food specials are worth asking about. Definitely a go to place for fun night with friends.

This will always and forever be one of my favorite dive bars in the world. Ten years ago this was my go to place for a cheap beer and shots. Now it’s more like a sad stop down memory lane however the always entertaining regulars are a site to be hold. If you want a dive bar look no further.

Yuk!!! So gross!!! Watered down drinks, drugs, and the lowest specimens of life as patrons!!! Stay away!!!

It’s known in my circle of friends as «Scummy Paul’s». However, I love it. Pool tables, air hockey, shuffle board and darts are what keep me going. Also, the cast of characters are sure to entertain you. They all have two things in common: Scum and alcoholism. Some of them are toothless wonders and some are wasted Mexicans that would hit on your grandmother if you brought her. The bathrooms are disgusting. I once saw a girl in the men’s room hovering over a toilet to pee as it was overflowing!

UMMM… well we came here on a Belmar bar hop on a weekday, probably around 6pm. While the pitcher of beer was cheap, the bar itself was pretty depressing. All the TVs had on COPS and the people at the bar looked like the people being arrested on that show. Who wants to watch abused spouses calling the police on TV while you’re trying to enjoy a beer and have a good time? Our mistake was probably not noticing the air hockey table when we walked in. We walked past the first bar and settled in the back room, where the rest of the patrons were. As we looked around it became really depressing. If I knew that air hockey table was there, we would have had more fun playing games in that room but we didn’t notice it until on our way out to leave. Please, a note for any bar– if you’re going to have TVs on, it has to be either sports or a comedy or music videos, NOT a show like COPS. Especially when your patrons are depressing and look like the criminals on that show.

You’ll feel better about your life with 7 seconds of entering.
That being said, it’s a solid dive with cheap, cheap prices.

Holy whiskey tango, folks. Want food? It’s a vending machine. Want to get drinks? Stick to beer, water or wine (even the wine, I’d stay away from home). Bring cash — no cards and their ATM has a residual wallet-​rape charge. As for the rest of it, they have lots of good musical acts. In fact, my dad and his friends play there on a regular basis. If you see any Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation shows, definitely go. It’s a worthy reason to visit Paul’s. Unless, you know, you like shuffleboard, fooz ball or pool, then this is your joint. But it’s places like these that made me move away years ago. Pick your poison.

Fun place in Belmar. Paul’s cabin is a great place for a live show, even in the dead of winter such as the annual cabin fever concert, and several other phanphest events throughout the year have been held here… the outdoor patio bar is a great summer party location too. LOVE this place. Easy 4.5 stars.

Stopped in with mi compadre, Toot, prior to going to get dinner somewhere else. So I can’t tell you about the food other than Toot said we shouldn’t eat there. Unfortunately it was karaōke night and the singers I heard during my two beer stay were extremely poor, all off key and flat deliveries. Ugh!
The crowd was as described in the one earlier review, that is mostly hard edged locals who looked like life had not been very good to them. Sorry but that’s the truth. This bar is in Lake Como, but the town changed it’s name a few years ago from South Belmar, I think in an effort to fool people who knew that S. Belmar sorta sucks, at least in comparison to the adjacent, real Belmar. Lake Como is apparently a real beautiful place in Italy, but I don’t know why they chose that name otherwise.
The three stars are really for the two barkeeps, one a real cute blond and one a very attractive brunette. Toot and I told them they won our award for «best female barkeep combo» on the Jersey Shore, which of course really excited them. Not a place I’ll be hurrying back to.

When a dude says you look like his underage daughter and wants to buy you a tequila shot, you’re in for a fun bar experience. Let me preface that I was here RIGHT before they banned smoking in bars in NJ. but if you went into this place, you’d see that the culture probably hasn’t changed much. Slash the first sentence doesn’t really have to do with the following sentences. lol
The crowd: A weird mixture but interesting group of people. Some older folk (IE. the creepy dad dude), some hippy folk that dance without shoes (it’s cleaner than most dive bars. but stilllll), south Jersey dudes, and folks like me who show up for music.
The food: Pretty much your basic bar food. Nothing to rave about, but I wouldn’t pass up a sandwich here. It came out it quick and wasn’t super greasy.
The workers: A good solid group of people. The bartenders really took care of me. A friend stood me up for a show but I still really wanted to go, so I decided to swing it solo (wow that was a really rhymey sentence). The bartender checked up on me a few times when I got my food. When I moved over to the other bar with the creepy dude, the bartender kind of told him to leave me alone and made sure he didn’t bother me.
The venue: The place is separated into two rooms. The front room has a small side space in the corner big enough for a 4 piece band (but nothing else). There are two bars, one close to the kitchen and a bar that’s an island in the semi-​middle of the floor. That bar opens up right before the show. The back room is more of a small concert area. I didn’t really hang out, but there was another show there before the band in the front room went on. It was pretty dark so I couldn’t really get to see the details.
Overall a good place. it’s pretty far from where I stay in north Jersey. but I’d probably only go again if there was another good show. and I could find a male… or anyone to come with me. heh
