Buffy's Tavern - Kenilworth

This place was great! I went there with my team after our band test. I really appreciated that it wasn't too crowded, as it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The bartenders were able to craft a decent drink, and there was plenty of eye-catching candy to enjoy as well.

On June 20, 1974, just before my graduation from Brearley, I visited this place while I was back in town. Ah, the good old NJ Bar!

It’s not often that I come across a bar that feels so unwelcoming and neglected, but Buffy managed to hit all those notes. As a local from Kenilworth, I went there with some friends on a Tuesday, and for some reason, I must have upset the bartender because I felt pretty embarrassed to be there. I recommend you choose somewhere else. Honestly, anywhere would be better than that place.

I regret to leave a negative assessment as one bartender was nice, and I was even ready to be patient about her unconsistent hours and never to be sure if and when they would have a cook. Finally, many places today have such problems. But a minimum of $25?! Forget to show and do here for one. So let's review: Not sure when they will be open or not, despite which hours they have posted, not sure if and when they have a cook and therefore available food and a $25 minimum? This place has so much potential to be a wonderful little dive, but it measures badly. Go somewhere else.
