Crossroads in Garwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

fun place to see a show with above average pub food. For a local smaller venue, the tap list is fantastic

Great cozy club with good drinks, decent food, and great local music. It's hard to find a good musician orient small club these days. With open mics, original and cover bands, Crossroads has it down. I was at the BeeRo Blues Jam. Happens end of every month. Go check it out and sign up to jam!

The sound and the food are better than they should be. Every night here is a party.

Crossroads is one of my favorite small venues in the area! Had opportunities to see a few of my favorite punk bands here, and look forward to many more. Great sound. Great atmosphere! Love Crossroads!!! 🤘

2nd time visit to Crossroads from long travels to make the show. This time it was the band Iron Chic who I've been trying to see for the 1st time over 2 years. I'm justified saying that I really like this place. Great sound, staff, bar & music here. Definitely recommended 💯

Food was very good and the tap list was FANTASTIC. I wish it was closer to where I lived. I went to see my good friend Knucklehead and the house sound was also phenomenal.

Good food and drinks at reasonable prices in a friendly locale with some impressive talent across the musical direction.

Friendly staff. Amazing performance venue for live music. Good food and drinks. Best of all, no energy/wallet draining trip into the chaos of nyc to have a great time.

Great club been there twice to see friends band

Attended poetry reading at the location. Sponsored by the Crossroads and the town. Great atmosphere. Very friendly service

One of my favorite venues. Wonderful staff, great sense of community. Great drinks too!

First time at Crossroads for Frank Turner last night & it was an awesome experience. I read that their parking lot is small so I arrived early & was relieved to get one of the last spots in the lot & didn't have to look for street parking in an area I'm not familiar with. Staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. Food was delicious & portions were very generous. The show was amazing - I'm so happy I got to see Frank in such a small & intimate venue. I will definitely return for more shows in the future!!

Awfully loud especially for trivia. Monday is Trivia night. It gets crowded. Food is always good to me.

OK food, takes a long time for the food to come out. Good venue but gross bathrooms. Would not go out of my way to go here.

Great venue with killer sound! Great bar too with a huge selection of beers

Great location, food is variable. Service for food can be slow when packed. I like that they support music from all around with great stage and sound system.

One of the best spots in Jersey - we are so lucky to have Crossroads!

Drinks were good and servicewqs awesome.

Great place to watch some live music, saw starlight bar fight and band IV

Saw Dead cover band there this Friday...took about a half hour when trying to get a beer...tall bartender wouldnt even look up to help while shorter one was working her butt off...maybe have 3 tenders when the place is packed or have the tall one work some where else an hire the shorter ones sister.

The food is delish!!!!! The last 2 times I have been I tried the shrimp dishes and they did not disappoint. The wings were perfectly cooked and they have the best fries. The staff is amazing as well, very helpful and kind. Everything is very reasonably priced.

Fried steak and sausage gravy was 🔥. Trivia/karaoke night was a fun time as well. Kane head high on draft always a plus.

One of the best atmospheres to see your favorite artist.

It's one of my favorite places to go for music! The staff is always beyond friendly, and the place is always tidy!

Very good food. Excellent venue for live bands. Had a great time listening to Kilimanjaro, launch party show. A tribute to Santana through the years.

Great venue, super friendly staff

A visit to Crossroads for a Brian Fallon show had been on my bucket list for a long time. I traveled all the way from Germany and was thrilled with the location, the size, the style, the great and friendly staff, the people, everything. It's a must-see and I hope to return again one day.

Good food, good drinks, and live music at least 2-3 nights a week.

Great place to go and listen to live bands. The staff was awesome and made sure to check on us if we needed anything. Highly recommend!!

I rarely leave 5 stars. The pop punk night was awesome, from the music to the great beer selection.

Enjoyed the atmosphere small but intimate. The food was good and reasonably priced. Drinks were a little pricey.

Great venu for up and coming bands.

Great venue, good atmosphere ✌🏻

One of my favorite places to listen to music, watch indie horror films, and drink local beer. Excellent food and service.

I've been there years ago and it's still a awesome place and samiam was awesome

We met some friends who suggested going here to see the band Black dog.. an. Evening of blow my mind with awesome led Zeppelin music at its best. Thank you

Great performance on the night before thanksgiving, but the last two years the crowd there is not great. A woman last night came up to my group and tried to fight us because we “moved into her spot” on the dance floor. I had to try to diffuse the situation, the woman was really out of control and threatening to fight, for no reason. The year before, had a very similar situation with someone looking to fight. It was alarming and upsetting. I have always enjoyed this space and do not blame them, but unfortunately will not be returning next year. The space is great, but the crowd is getting concerning.

Saw AF2K and had a great time. Fantastic band! Parking was a little tough, but the venue was solid.

This is one of , if not the best venues to see a show. I have not eaten here but I have been told the food is amazing. If you have not visited make it a point to check it out.

My movie premiere went according to plan at Crossroads! Everything that happened last Sunday night turned out to be a great success! Thank you Lee and the Crossroads team. I will come back again. Thanks!

They have gone down hill. They do not answer phones to make any reservations or return voicemails for weeks at a time. When you message them on social media for help, they don’t apologize. They demand you buy tickets up front but yet the door charge is less so they scam. Lastly, we do not and advise everyone to never order a bite there. Over 6 of us have become very sick from eating anything other than French Fries there. Do not recommend. Many better music venues out there who care for and respect their customers.

Been going here for years. The staff and owners always make you feel welcome and the events are fun! Great space for trivia, karaoke, bands, and comedians!

Nice spot for live music. The food was pretty good and affordable. The staff was also very accommodating. They do have a $10 cover charge if you're going to watch the bands play. I suggest that you make a reservation if you are going for the music. The place can get packed.

Excellent music venue with good bar service.

I went to see my friend's performance and I loved every second I spent at this location. The food was great and arrived rapidly. The server was kind and check on us regularly but not so much that it felt intrusive. Fantastic food. The bartender was kind. They had sliced lime on the side so yoy didn't have to wait on the bartender for things like that. The music was great. Every band that came up showed up and showed out. This place is a great date night if you love live music and good vibes.

Cool place to watch local talented musicians play great music. Everyone is chill. We thoroughly enjoyed watching Arckist, our cousins band. It was a great time

My grandaughter played with the girlband!

Glad to see this place rocking. High recommend you old, fat, bored humans get out and see some live local talent.

Hosted my parents 40th anniversary party here last week. Steph and the entire event staff were welcoming and beyond helpful throughout the process. Even the owner Lee was personable and accommodating, and as a result, my parents (who met at Crossroads 40+ years ago) had a memorable and special celebration they will cherish forever. The food, the drinks, the service, and the music were all superb. Thank you to the entire Crossroads team for making the evening unforgettable!

Beautiful cozy place serves good finger food and alcohol drinks and live music

Very pleasant environment, with excellent food.

Who doesn’t know crossroads :) one of the finest places for live music and some good time . I remember coming to cross roads 6-7 years back for my sons piano recital :) and now he is grown up and he is going GIGs in cross roads . Love their ambience and live music ! They have a simple menu. Food here is good and not so expensive : they have full fledged bar with multiple IPA selections . Very good service and quick billing . Less veggie options but I tried cauliflower tempura and it tasted good . Lots of chicken options . Parking is good but can get cramped in peak times . Overall a very good time .

Wonderful staff, and a very intimate experience with the bands. Don't miss a show here!

Crossroads is the place to go for some great live music, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the Pub Burger. Can't go wrong with it. Coming from a musicians perspective, I love playing shows here. Been here twice with my bandmates in amreflection to sing and play saxophone. Always have a nice crowd turnout here and the vibes are wonderful. Lots of support from the staff and other bands that perform.

Great place to see a show. Excellent acoustics, friendly staff and top notch sound tech. We didn't partake of the food but lots of folks did and seemed happy with it.

Stand up was great tonight! Both Wendy and Brian killed it

Perfect intimate venue for shows.

Update. The whole thing was a misunderstanding.. still not a fan of the way the owner dealt with us but thats all the gripe at this point. Sorry about the bad review. We will try again next time...

Great music venue for emerging musicians. Great sound and stage. The food, drinks and service is also surprisingly great.

Lots of great shows here. Food is good, lots of different beers to choose from. New large outdoor patio with service, very cozy. Small parking lot, tons of street parking available.

Saw a band there. Was a Pink Floyd cover band and they were pretty good. Food wasn't the greatest but it was edible.

Great food, and drinks. Awesome place for great music

Went here for the first time Friday night and will never be coming back. When we got there we arrived at the same time as the police who told the lady at the podium that they couldn't have a mob of people drinking in the parking lot (common sense). We were then told we had to pay a $10 cover fee because they had a band playing later. We paid the fee and I noticed the next day that they charged me $12 instead of $10. Once we got in we went to the bar and tried ordering drinks. The bartenders accused us of having fake IDs and it took three different people to confirm that they were in fact REAL. I wouldn't have been mad about the $12 cover fee if the overall experience was worth the money in the end but it absolutely was not and I don't recommend coming here.

Great venue with good food and drinks!

Great music, small venue but not too tight. Awesome vibes and atmosphere, highly recommended for all live music lovers. From jazz to blues to rock, folk... Food is decent and cheap, great beer menu, super friendly staff. I can't believe i didn't check it outsooner, now i'll go there every week !

So wonderful to come here and listen to music with some great food and drinks. It’s also wonderful to perform here! :)

I love the owners, I have liked the food. I like the vibe, I like the drinks. HOWEVER If you're coming here to hear music, think again: The acoustics are REALLY bad. I walked around the room trying to find one spot where I could hear the instruments and voices from the stage clearly. Instead I was hearing the noisy vibrations of the wall. This could and should be amended.

Saw Underdog at the animal benefit show. It was awesome!

Great food, open mike blues one of the best anywhere

So let's talk about this. Absolutely loved this spot as a concert venue, super small but not over crowded. Great acoustics, awesome drink selection, Brian Fallon was a fantastic show. We did try to eat here and got directed to a covered outside area. Noone was there to great or tell where to sit, we grabbed our own menus, sat and waited for over 25 minutes with Noone coming out to check on us or anyone else seated outside. With the concert time fast approaching, we got up and left and walked to another restaurant to eat. I'm not sure if this was what we were supposed to do but once again we were following the directions of the bouncer on the club side. Kinda sucked cuz the food online looked great 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Small venue but nice spot and staff was good too!

Great music venue. Full bar and kitchen

In a single word… HORRIBLE! Had planned a special evening with my wife, made reservations a week in advance, and was told that I wasn’t not the list.Not exceptable.

Don’t bother making a reservation, they don’t honor them anyway. The place is a complete debacle. Several people in front of me had the same problem with reservations. Crossed off my list.

Great food, wonderfull music venue Catch the Blues open mike last wendesday of the month hosted by Barry Rosen

Show was great!!! Good food too!

Love it here, bartender super nice

So fun...lots of room even for a sold out show. Staff was friendly and professional. Great Time!

Nice quiet little small place food was good prices reasonable and the music was great

Went for trivia. Good food and great service. Had a great time!

great venue, great sound, comfortable atmosphere, great staff

Great place for music especially the blues jams on the last Wednesday of every month.

Came for a show that was supposed to start at 9:00 and the venue held the previous band WELL over that time going into 10 pm. Waste of time, bad management

Live music, good place to spend time.

Great place..yummy food..live music..

Great place for music lovers. Fantastic blues jam last Wed of every month. Good food to boot

Don't let the size fool you! This place has good drinks and great bands.

Union County’s hidden gem. Amazing food cuisine from whom I heard is a veteran chef, friendly staff, and really great acts. Seems like a place where all niches come to thrive, would definitely be coming back!

Really enjoyed the Somerville School of Rock show,Kids worked so hard and did a great job entertaining us all,Restaurant staff was also very accommodating.

A wide selection of beers on draft, in cans and bottles. The outdoor seating area is quite nice. It’s covered and behind the building so Road noise is minimized. My one suggestion would be to add bike parking in the back.

Great place to enjoy live music huge outdoor rear patio

Excellent food, great show by Reason for Revenge and the owners, managers and servers were outstanding.

Great space, delicious food, excellent service

Awesome family owned venue hosting great shows and bands. Great choice in beverage and food. Including a good variety of quality non-alcoholic beverage which is great because you while most likely be driving or riding over there.

We show up on a Saturday, which I know is busy, (we just didn't expect a $45 cover, but ok it happens, my fault, and its apparently sold out= no option to pay it at the door)... so we sit outside and wait (which seemed like a very long time for just shots...that were mostly salt tbh).... while trying to close a tab and order an uber , we go inside to go to go to bathroom and grab a drink at the bar inside and go back out to wait ( it seemed to be faster this way service wise) we get cut off and get kicked out immediately. And that is basically it. Unfortunately we would have spent more if allowed at the bar but it is what it is. I just felt very underwhelmed by the outdoor area and then to be treated like weird groupies was disappointing. We were waiting outside for our uber to go elsewhere and we were just casually talking this girl about her outfit and how cute it was... and it seemed like the security/ her brother pulled her inside mid conversation as if to tell her to ignore us?? I guess we came off in the wrong way somehow?? It was just kind of odd like we just robbed the place or something.

This place is awesome! Cozy and intimate for small concerts. Great beer list. Food was good. Staff was incredibly nice! Love it!

Good food and nice venue to see a band. Nice, new outside seating.

Support your local independent live music venue!!

Great venue for small bands. Very good sound and acoustics. Great service good tasting bar fares.

Everyone is nice and inviting. The Chef here knocked it out of the park. The talent is great. The patio is perfect.
