Ingemar1 mentioned above the "old man bars" are gone. Well, some of them have become really excellent restaurants, here's the conversion chart for expatriots:
Callaghan's to Toscano (superb, upscale Italian dining)
Herman's to The Farnsworth House (great American cuisine with Italian accents)
The Washington House (aka Corner House) to Jester's (An American bistro with an Italian flavor)
Although not finding their origins in tap rooms, if you come to town, don't miss Marcello's (best veal parm I've ever eaten) and Under the Moon (truly artistic and eclectic).
Finally, if you really want to sample some of the old time Bordentown, check out the HOB Tavern which, in my opinion, should be preserved on the national historic register, because it's the last honest-to-God saloon in Bordentown. The HOB also provides excellent sandwiches and a quiet dining room away from the action.
All of these establishments offer superb service and unprecedented hospitality.
