The Old Bay Restaurant has been open since May 1987 and is New Jersey's premier New Orleans-style restaurant. Our dinner menu features gourmet French Creole and Cajun cuisine, steaks and seafood. Our award-winning draft beer list features 22 taps pouring the finest micro-brewed imported domestic beer you can find.
After 10pm, The Old Bay transforms itself into a sophisticated night spot with outrageous drink promotions and the best live entertainment in central New Jersey. See our entertainment and promotions calendar for more details.
We occupy the former National Bank of New Jersey constructed in 1857. The interior design of the restaurant was a result of numerous trips to New Orleans, and countless hours of conceptual, layout, and architectural work. In 2004, the interior of The Old Bay was completely renovated with additional bar seating and a decor that reminds one of Mardi Gras!
