The Tap Room (In the Somerset Hills Hotel) 200 Liberty Corner Rd Warren (Note:  I was very drunk before getting to this bar, so some of the details that I missed were provided by the less intoxicated Steve Thomas.) On Sunday (not usually the heaviest drinking day of the week) I joined with some of my oldest friends to celebrate the wedding of NJ Barflys, Stimpy and Jenn.  Yes, ladies, I hate to break the news, but he's now a taken man.  I still encourage you all to send erotic pictures to him c/o brian@njbarfly.com. After a wonderful celebration at the Berkley Plaza, in Berkeley Heights, we retired to The Somerset Hills Hotel, or more to the point, The Tap Room.  Most of us, especially me, were pretty drunk before we even got there.  At one point, the picture evidence shows that I put on the brides white fur lined cape.  I was then told by my friends that I looked like a gay Jedi knight. It was a nicely furnished bar in a Vermont Ski Resort style.  There were not too many people there who were not part of the wedding, perhaps 10, but as the place was small and cozy, this suited us fine.  There was a TV with football on in the corner, and there may have been some music, but the great thing was that it was possible to have a conversation with people and not be shouting or straining to hear them.  A great place to go with someone you actually give a crap enough to listen to.   The bartender was very cute and also knowledgeable which helps as they have a well stocked selection of wines and spirits.  Beers were $4 a piece which is a little expensive, but it was a hotel bar, so I couldn't complain.  Even when she announced last call, it was very polite and apologetic, and we were truly sad to put the night to rest.  In fact, I was so saddened by this that PJ and I had to rescue some beer freezing in my car and drink it at various locations through out the hotel. If you're visiting NJ for a state-wide bar tour you could certainly do worse than begin with a stay at The Somerset Hills Hotel and a warm-up lap in The Tap Room. Good Point about the bar:  I could get as drunk as I wanted, and all I had to do was wander back upstairs to my room. Bad Point about the bar:  When you are that drunk, getting back upstairs to your hotel room becomes a formittable task and I ended up just talking to PJ in the womens room until about 4 AM, much to the dismay of the numerous women that had to pee.  Luckily Tami found us and brought us back upstairs. White trash factor (1-10):  9 - It was Stimpy's wedding after all.  It would have been a 10, but my presence classed it up a bit. Chachi Guido factor:  1 Ratio of girls to guys:  1/1 - Pretty much the only people there were from the wedding.   I'm sure this ratio is different on a weekend. Crowd density:  Med/Low - See comment after Ratio of girls to guys. Age of the crowd: Varied based on the people staying at the hotel Overall rating:   5 - I was too drunk to remember a lot about this bar, which is usually a good thing, but most of the alcohol I consumed was before I got there at the reception.   If all of my friends weren't there the bar would have totally sucked.  Then again, it was a Sunday night and it was a hotel bar, so my expectations weren't that high.  The bar tender was nice too.
