Clydz is a lively New Brunswick destination with a subterranean atmosphere, reminiscent of a 1920's speakeasy. At Clydz, the fare is anything but ordinary. The menu is comprised of small plates and entrees, ranging from a selection of steaks, scallops, duck, house made pastas and desserts.

The cuisine is not the only element that sets Clydz apart from the rest. The trendy bar, enhanced by fish tanks and fireplaces, offers adventurous martini and cocktail selections.

    Clydz is one of our favorite destination restaurants! Fabulous food and cocktail choices and a lovely attentive staff. The only downfall was beginning our meal with an apology that we would have to be leaving within 90 minutes. (We arrived on time for our 715 reservation) I realize it was said with much grace and kindness. Nonetheless, it did put a damper on our evening. We had come to celebrate the establishment and it's staff.

    In these post - Covid days when businesses are still trying to use the Covid - 19 tired excuse for closing - down their shoppe earlier than they did, prior to Covid - 19, how refreshing to find a nice restaurant and bar who is actually all - opened and serving, until later - into - the - evening. This alone makes us wish to come here .

    You can't beat Clydz. This has been a spot for drinks and late night food since I was old enough to drink. I will miss this location but I am excited for the new move. Chef Jackie and the team always give a fantastic experience and meal.

    It's an outright shame that this location is closing & relocating. The current setting is special to many patrons.

    Extensive cocktail menu but wine is lacking big time. The food was very good and there were plenty of options. The inside is cool and the vibe is definitely there. Would recommend.

    Miss the old menu, they were one of the only places in Central Jersey that did wild game. Sad that's gone. New menu is very generic by comparison, although the food was good. Service was excellent.

    Firstly the man that sat us was obviously inexperienced and somewhat rude. The server was very good and professional and pleasant. He was, however, very busy. Too busy. The food was mixed. Some dishes, the hanger steak,was very good. The veal and baramundi were ok, nothing I would recommend.
