BYOBs are so common in NJ because liquor licenses are very expensive and limited. So take advantage of cheap drinking at these awesome restaurants in and near Highlands:
FRESH BISTRO- High end American fare in a cozy, comfortable setting served by friendly staff. Just a quick walk around the corner and next to a liquor store if you need provisions.
PORCINI - Italian graces the menu at this inviting spot right around the corner.
BISTRO IBERIA -A brand new spot just opened in the old Gianna's space. We haven't tried it yet as of Fall 2023 but we have high hopes!
FRANNY'S – Grab a bottle of vino and your appetite to gorge on Franny’s pizza or their mouthwatering entrees (eggplant parm is our fave) or hearty apps …and don’t forget to save room for dessert. The 10 min walk helps burn off a couple calories!
OVER EASY KITCHEN: This trendy spot in an unassuming strip mall in Fairhaven serves dishes as pretty and delicious as the décor. Pick up a bottle of bubbly from the Cellar next door and they’ll provide the OJ! 20 minute drive.
YUMI has a location in Seabright just a 10 min drive, or drive 20 min to their location in Redbank. Pick up some saki or an effervescent lager and head to either popular spot when you’re in the mood for sushi.
PS call Royal Atlantic Wines to deliver your favorite adult beverage before heading out to these spots!
PPS. Be safe - call UBER if you drink too much!
