On a typical Friday evening you will most likely find me playing the trivial pursuit game at Muldoon’s in Rockaway, NJ.

It is the Buzztime game that is on a couple of TV screens. Usually there are other people to play against but it is also fun to have a Guinness and just be the only player. I can compare my scores with people in other bars across the country. Sometimes I rank in the top twenty, nation wide. Not often enough.

I like their salads, drinking beer I have to watch what I eat. Got to keep the weight down. They have tuna steak salad, chicken caesar, or steak salad. All good. I have even splurged at times and had a cheeseburger or their french dip. The buffalo wings are good too.

Beer on tap includes of course Guinness, Bass ale, Smithwick’s, Killian’s, and a Sam Adams seasonal. On Saturday night they have karaoke. I will listen and watch, but the only time I did karaoke was in another country. Not here where I am known.

Muldoon’s is located at the Rockaway Mall in the lower section of Macys. It has a regular crowd, but since it is also in a mall, shoppers will come in, making for a good mix of people. It is a good place to just relax. The bartenders are friendly, which to me, means I get my Guinness quickly with a shamrock and they will turn on either the Mets in summer or the Rangers in winter.
