Easily the worst bar in New Brunswick — and that’s coming from people who’ve been coming here for a while. This place used to feel like family, but now it’s like a whole different spot. The energy is just bad. The staff are rude, and the older Asian woman — who I’m guessing is the manager — carries the worst attitude I’ve ever seen in hospitality. Cold, unwelcoming, and straight-up disrespectful. You walk in and feel like they don’t even want you there. Whoever’s running it now is killing the vibe. 2/10, never coming back

A disappointing experience that followed disappoint service. The bartenders seemed more concerned with flirting with the clientele and managing the music that left a lot to be desired than pouring drinks and servicing the patrons. Overall it’s adequate for a college experience I suppose but for the average customer who is mid-20s and up, you can do better babe.

Went there for a bollywood night – DJ Preeti I think. It was terrible. Song selection and transition from one to another was not even mediocre. Maybe something where oldies may have fun but not for someone who is below even age of 30.
Drinks were priced properly and service was good.

got crunk, danced, and conquered. great pub and a greater experience if you live a little and mingle with the community instead of sitting the whole time.
got love for security, bartenders, barbacks and the regulars (:

Ahh, the good ol’ “Grail”. . .
Been here plenty of times during my younger ventures in my college years – They’ve renovated the place with some new entertainment systems added: a new audio system with an upgraded DJ Booth – Plenty of drinks and to my surprise ‘Top-Shelf’ liquors on the ready to be served in your shot glass or cup.
Prices are reasonable and infact a little cheaper than some of the other haunts on Easton Avenue – Had a great time during the World Cup finals of ARG v. FRA. The Owners are kind, and friendly – glad to serve drinks with some bar snacks (last time there was goldfish crackers & pretzel filled peanut butter nuggets)
You can also stop by for a coffee here and have it with a shot of soju, which makes it really tasty.
Edit 10-3-25: Had a great time of the memories made with this place – Blessed to have met the people I had met in my life that swiveled thru this place

Opening night left much to be desired. Poorly mixed music with air horn sound effects and voiceovers every twenty seconds. Bartenders looked like they’ve never mixed drinks before and portions very small for price. Additionally, security did little to ensure the safety of guests. A guest who was either allowed in over-inebriated or was over-served shoved a girl to the ground and, while removed from the bar, security did nothing to follow up with the visibly injured girl. Upon requesting assistance, I was told that since he had already left there was nothing for them to do. I get that this is your first bar and can look past the music and drinks but if the safety of your guests isn’t your #1 priority you shouldn’t be open, simple as that. Shame on the security and management team tonight.

I’ve been here many times. It’s a great college bar with quality booze, friendly and professional staff, and the exact crowd you’d expect on a college campus. If this means you want a quiet tavern with food, this isn’t the place for you. It’s loud, it’s sticky and the patrons are young. Knowing this, it’s a great time and was one of my go to bars when I went to Rutgers. I can’t complain about it, and the people expecting a different experience shouldn’t be giving low ratings because it wasn’t their style. I’m not gonna go to an Irish pub, then rant and give 2 stars because they didn’t have a loud EDM dance floor, you get the idea.

Sadly, Golden Rail burned down my senior year of college. But I’ve been back since and got to go before and hands down this is the best bar in NB.
By far the best beer selection – even better then Stuff Yer Face – and drink specials. The staff is friendly and always welcoming – with and without a fake id. The men’s bathroom sucks, but oh well. Lots of TVs!

At first I was iffy but after spending a bit here it was great. The music was throwback 2000s rap and r&b and then had some other stuff in between. The area is a little spacious considering the amount of people in the bar. Definitely would go again!
