Bar Anticipation 703 16th Avenue, Lake Como, NJ 07719

"My wife and I went here to partake in their Jersey Shore Restaurant Week lunch. We had never been here before but heard stories about the young crowd and drunks so felt it wasn't our type of place. The place is huge with both indoor and outdoor bar areas. We sat in one of the dining areas which was pretty full for lunch. There were about 12 tables with one waitress, Victoria. She did a great job of handling all the tables. We were both surprised by the quality of the food, presentation and size of the dishes. My wife had steak which she requested medium. It arrived medium rare, but she was fine with the that I had a chicken sandwich which was slightly overcooked, but,had a good taste. The french fries were very good. We both agreed we would visit again."

"Ladies and gentleman, I am happy and honored to give this excellent establishment a five star review. RARELY, do you ever encounter a venue that has something for every adult. Bar A as they say locally on the Jersey Shore has great food, great service, great live music, great alcohol and you can even literally play beach volleyball in back on a slower day. Rarely, do you see a customer walk out unhappy. Bar A is legendary on the Jersey Shore and its reputation is well earned. It’s a must see if you are in the neighborhood and into the bar/club scene. Management and staff are extremely professional and lastly the prices are even fair."

"The service was far, far better than we expected for this type of place. An employee made a special point of helping us find a quiet, open table to get dinner despite the main floor being packed for a live band. Server was super attentive. And multiple employees wished us a good night as we left. A really great experience."

"I went here the other night when it was very busy. I was walking by in a crowded area, when this bouncer shoved me over. I asked him why and he responded, “you stiff-armed me, so I shoved you back.” I, a 22-year-old female, have never stiff-armed anyone in my entire life, nor do I have the strength to “stiff-arm” someone twice my size. I politely responded, “no I didn’t,” to which he responded, “I work here.” I simply do not care who you think you are, but shoving a girl half your size is very uncalled for. The bouncers at this establishment need to learn their place and have a little bit of an ego check."

"I have been going to BA for decades and have never had a bad time! You always see someone you know and if you don't, you meet new friends! Great music. Great food. Great prices. Great owners and great staff!!"
