The best hangout bars in New Jersey

The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, aka "Blackout Wednesday," is traditionally a night when college kids hit a bar to catch up with their old high school friends. It's also a time to catch up with your friends who are in town for family.

What you need is a great place where the drinks are cheap, the food is good and the conversation can be heard. I put this question out on my social media and here are the suggestions you came up with, both old and new.
