Very slow inattentive waitress. Overcharged for wings. Place appeared dirty. Hamburger and fries were good but beef tacos not the best.

It was a Milford celebration day where there was music available at many locations. The side street was closed as Jive arranged outside seating and live music. The outside tables were taken and inside there was room to move a back table to the front...of the inside. Staff offered the move but at the same time a inside table was available. Inside there were numerous televisions set up on the wall. I was able to watch the Met and Yankee baseball games. We had ordered appetizers and they arrived fast. The chicken wings were quite good as they peeled off the bone. The breaded shrimp and their own style of pita chips were tasty. The location had a good crowd, was clean, and had live music playing outside.More
Pluses Windows and door open Food is ok and not many restaurants in Milford Minus More tv than people plus live music make it a bit overstimulating Staff practically non existent Had to go to the bar for a drink, to order food, got water...Felt like I should bus my table before I left Staff not friendly at all, attentive to bar patrons but took a lot to get attention My first visit and prob my lastMore
Nice, clean laid back bar with a good selection of pub food, drink specials, and an open-air concept that is a very enjoyable expierence.
Not my Jive. CLOWN SHOW!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡 AVOID AT ALL COST!! 6/30 I Just tried to give the only bar in town another try. I didnt even say a word and this crazy drunk bartender with no makeup or shower for a week started freaking out....I asked her what did I lie about in the review. She mumbled and hide; refusing to serve me. She threatened to call police Bc I was taking a selfie. It’s called freedom. What a lunatic. She threaten me. Said I know your name and I will find you. Whoa!! I’m scared!! Haha I live in Manhattan and weekend in Milford. This place is more pretentious and expensive than most bars in Gramercy. Food was below average.They charge for ice...Yes. Extra $1 for ice. Closes at 10pm during the NY KNICKS NBA PLAYOFF GAME.More
This here place is hopping with local types looking for the nightly quickie. Sure is hard getting bartender to pour you one unless they knows youse.
This was my go to in Milford for great beer. The old manager always kept a great rotating tap system going as well as a good bottle selection. My latest visit was horrible. Out of 4 taps only 2 were working and one was yuengling....The "new" manager stayed she couldn't figure out how to change kegs and when I asked for a bottle on the menu, she couldn't find that either. This was compounded by her nasty attitude and her obvious air of enjoyment. I imagine she got the job on her "connection" with the owner and not her skills. I won't be back and Ill tell others to avoid it until/unless management changes.More
stopped in for a night cap before calling it a night. they had live music and it was a good atmosphere.
Stopped here for a few drinks while in town for the weekend. Decor is nice, drink menu is satisfactory, and overall vibe of the place is good. Staff, well that is another story. They seemed very disinterested in serving anyone. I myself was disgusted with...the long wait I had once my drink was empty, and heard several other patrons talking amongst themselves with the same concerns. I witnessed a group of 4 walk in, sit at a table, wait about 10 minutes to not even be acknowledged, get up and leave. A DJ started playing at 9 pm and all of a sudden the price of my drinks went up $2 a piece. With the terrible service I was receiving, that was enough to prompt me to leave. This place better start focusing on the customers, or it won't be around very long. Will try elsewhere next time I return to Milford. Very disappointing.More
Was staying at the Hotel Faussere which is located across the street from Jive. We heard a band playing so we decided to stop in. Bartenders were friendly and the drinks were good, Had a few drinks listened to the band which was pretty good...and headed out. Bar was nicely kept and had a nice look to it.More
This is an interesting little enclave where friends meet up and enjoy the sounds of local bands. A bit noisy (loud) but a fun way to let your hair down after a busy week.
We stopped by last Saturday evening. Real nice decor reminded us of a NYC west side bar. We sat at a table as the bar was full. After waiting for about 10 minutes my wife went to the bar to order our drinks. No problem....She then had to wait another 10 minutes while one of two the bartenders talked to a pair of customers. As she waited several other patrons remarked about waiting all night. Again a real nice place, drinks were fine, there was live entertainment setting up, but the Jive won't remain open without a staff to match the professional decor.More
Once the owners get acquainted and accustomed to the ins and outs of running a business, I think this place will thrive. Growing pains aside, the food was ok and the entertainment very good.
Newly opened in the heart of the Victorian village of Milford, this excellent gastropub bar is upscale yet friendly, classy but lots of fun. Some places just have a good vibe, and Jive definitely is one of them. It can get extremely noisy in here...from all the folks having a good time. Staff is outstanding, as is the food, which is inventive, almost more tapas-like, presented artistically, with obvious high-quality ingredients. Often live music at the back end of this long, high, skinny New-York-City-feel space, where the musicians have begun signing their names on the wall. There are not a lot of tables - try to get there early and grab the biggest one by the window, or just hang out at the bar. Glasses of wine are big and inexpensive compared to some other bars in town. If you're looking for a spot to have a quiet chat, Jive is not it. This is a party place.More
