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. We have multiple festivals, events and specials with tons of food, entertainment and fun. See our entertainment and promotions calendar for more details.
We occupy the former National Bank of New Jersey in New Brunswick which was 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!
