I literally walked in to this place and walked out!! This is my second time coming to this place, and the first time I had a blast!! I don’t know what happened this second go round, but I will never come back!! $10 women and $20 men. To sit at a table $150 a bottle plus food (even if you’re not hungry). You want to sit outside? $185 per bottle (you must order 2) and all tables are limited 3 hours! RIDICULOUS !! Don’t come to this place!!

Fun atmosphere, decent music. Only problem which I found absolutely ridiculous when I went last night on a Saturday night is that they literally charge you $20 entrance fee for men PLUS a $20 extra fee for men if you come in with a fitted or any kinda hat that doesn’t go with their supposed dressed code or whatever. So $40 all together which is insane! I came in an uber so couldn’t leave it behind and they won’t even hold on to it for you somewhere until you leave. Craziest thing I ever seen. Any thing to rip you off and make their extra chump change I guess.

My good Judy threw her bday party here. IT WAS A GREAT TIME! I would definitely go here again! She got a VIP area and for the bottles and food everything was reasonably priced. The servers were great. To top it off the music was amazing and then I realized Funk Master Flex was the DJ?. Try the patron margaritas directly from the bar.

I’ve been coming here for 5 years on and off. The one thing I will say about The Lobby (and the same goes for BarCode, LIT21, and other establishments owned by this same group) is that the customer service is always phenomenal.This is one of the hottest clubs to party at in the tri state area outside of NYC, and they always accommodate all guests and treat everybody like family. From the valet guys, to the security, to the bartenders, etc everybody behaves with the utmost professionalism and welcome all guests of any race/color/creed/socioeconomic background with open arms and genuinely seem very happy to have you as a guest. It doesn’t matter if you’re buying 10 bottles in the VIP section or just ordering 1 beer at the bar, I’ve done both, and every time the hospitality is always top notchProps to The Lobby for being such a fun, happening, and excited place

This was my second time ordering food that was a total waste of my money, first time lobster tails and shrimp with pasta was very bland, this time food was undercooked, steak tuff as nails, only thing tasteful was the advacado salad,which was a very small portion, Cook needs to be fired, I wouldn't spend another dime there.Horrible food

They should let people know it’s mandatory to buy a bottle if your sitting down. Your basically encouraging people to get drunk. It’s ridiculous even in a two seater table a bottle is mandatory. Was not aware until after 40 minutes of sitting there. We ordered drinks and had to cancel them because we didn’t know we had to buy a bottle. The bottles costs more than five times the amount as compared to buying it at the store. They try to get people because how is it possible for two people to finish a whole bottle by themselves and can’t even take the bottle home. So your money is basically going down the drain. The limit should be half the amount for two people because how is it the same limit if you have 4 to 6 people at the table it don’t make sense. Also they added a 18 or 20 percent tip to my tab even though it was only two people.This tall security also gave me a hard time as a female he checked my bag when I left and didn’t check no one else bag which was very peculiar. Besides that I went on a good day because the music was good.

I like it...definitely got me wanting to take salsa lessons!!! They were lit! The hip hop side was more cool and laid back...nice as well if you just wanna lounge...that was a Tuesday!

The food is good but the drinks are watered down. Parking is horrible and they make it worse by charging for parking. We were there and then took a friend to the airport. When we got back they wanted us to pay for parking and $10 to get in. The music is not diverse. The little Patron bottle is cute.

This was the best night of my life & I have to give all thanks to the most beautiful, patient, soulful, charismatic bartender in all of New Jersey. Her name is Natasha, I want to thank her for the 5 hours she put up with me. She attended every care that I needed & made me the best drinks I’ve ever had. I had a million dollars I would’ve gave it all to her in tips. She put up with me & a couple of friends but thanks to Natasha, she made us feel right at home. Lobby if you can, please give her a raise, if not I will every time I go in. If you’re in the area please go & visit Natasha at The Lobby in New Jersey.

If it wasn’t for the female security guard who kept saying “these people have no life go home” it’ll get a better rating. I cannot believe they pay someone who makes people feel unwelcome from the moment they literally step in the door. Even before paying cover. She said it when I was walking in and I heard her Say it on the way out. Hostile without me saying me single word to her. I cannot believe this establishment pays her when she makes people feel uncomfortable and literally tells them they have “no life” for going in there. Not only that she became hostile when I simply looked at her after hearing such disrespect towards guests who were there to have a good time. A shameUpdate: thanks to Management for responding.This happened on 2/5 Saturday late night. She was the only female security guard I saw at the door. To be clear she did not say this directly to me but loudly for all to hear. I amended my review because I don’t want anyone to lose their job, just wish she understood having a bad day doesn’t mean you take it out on people who are there to spend money and make then feel unsafe. Plenty of male security guards around heard her and said nothing
