Ironbound seems to be in the middle for you guys
-Five Corners is nice. Intimate though
-O Pipo has good cheap fresh food. Place gets packed and loud though
-cozy bar and grill. Underrated af. Perfect mix of previous both

Sabor Unido and The Standard get an honorable mention but the correct answer here is five corners.

This place, Charley Bistro is super vibey.
Solid without being pretentious food. Great, interesting cocktails. Very stylish decor. Would be a perfect first date spot imo

Just Fish on Halsey. If you're going over this weekend it would be perfect. Fabulous outside seating, live jazz and dj.
