7 years agoKevin & his team are Aces...! Great spot and one of the most beautiful bars I've ever seen. I think Kevin's dad or grandfather took it piece by piece from a famous NYC hotspot.

9 years agoFantastic live music on Saturday nights. Classic tavern decor including a historic back bar salvaged from the old Waldorf Hotel in NYC. Managed by the friendly third generation owner from the founding family.

5 years agoHaving lived only 5 years here in the Garden State (a transplant from CT) I have graced Core's once or twice. Areal comfortable atmosphere, nice large booths in which to relax, and friendly bartenders to take care of you. I like it there.😃😝😁 …

2 years agoDrinks are cheaper than most bars and the crowd is mixed but respectful. No live music, but there is a jukebox and there’s a patio in the back with seating. Definitely a good vibe. Busiest after 9/10pm. Although they don’t serve food, you can bring food in. Still rate it 5 stars.
Talia Jansen
month agoVery friendly, chill bar. It’s a good vibe.
