50 Best Bars near Belleville

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“We sat at the bar and were served by Chiara, who gave us impeccable recommendations. Everything was outstanding. The flavors were bold, but the combinations made every dish feel light and refreshing, including the dessert. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the playlist was excellent!“

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“My waitress was Katie Jane what an extraordinary girl she so nice and friendly it was a treat. Really. The wine I had was very good. The potato tots(?) not so much. Insane huge portion for one woman and hmmm no. Sommicj potential this dish but I expected better from you! At least for 1 person cut the portion in half ! To begin with. The view was great . Over all: I am glad I came.“

Gabriel makes FANTASTIC cocktails! His attention to detail and care is apparent in every drink! Thanks for taking care of us while we were here! I can’t wait to come back!“

“10/10 excellent experience, hats off to the excellent crew here that makes everything possible. My girlfriend and I headed to the city for the day and stumbled upon this gem in the financial district. I ordered the striker spritz and my girlfriend the lucky cat, a wonderful take on a spritz, contemporary, fresh, and fun with Irish whiskey. Fun fact, they serve over 60 of them here, and her drink was similar to that of a lychee martini, but much better. We arrived deciding to dine tapas style, we ordered the fish tacos and the sliders. The tacos were cod I believe, beer battered, moist, tender, and cooked to perfection with light flour tortillas and topped with cabbage and fresh vegetables, I wish there were more! The sliders were out of this world! Succulent, juicy, and all in all a perfect bite size snack, think the best burger you’ve ever had, but better, very fresh. We were served by Jayda and Dana, who were extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. If this location is a hike, I heard their location by Penn station is great as well. 10/10 would recommend great food, drinks, and time. Thank you Stout! Sincerely,

-Tomasso and Morgan“

“One of the best places around for a good food and amazing cocktails. If you in the city it’s a must to visit , trust me you won’t regret it. From the design of this place to the fresh food and one of the kind cocktails this place should be on everyone list. We definitely coming back for more!!“

“Amazing place ,the practice sanitary and social distancing. They are amazing people, courteous and caring. 100% recommend.“

“Everything! The food, the flavors, the service, the hospitality… EVERYTHING was AWESOME! 👏🏻 My wife and I had an excellent first experience at Artesano celebrating our anniversary and we will be back soon!

“Awesome venue with great service and live music. Definitely check it out“

“I recently dropped by this bar on a whim after work and was pleasantly surprised by how exceptionally fun it is. Randy was my bartender, and he was incredibly attentive and kind. Noticing I was by myself, he sparked up a conversation and made my short visit feel much more comfortable. I highly recommend checking this place out, and definitely ask for Randy—he is super nice and chill!“

“We had such an amazing experience at White Horse Tavern. Even our picky daughters (when they want to be) had a great time. We took them out of school for an adventurous city day and we were looking for a kid friendly place to eat in the area. This was it. Do they have a children’s menu? No but they have what kids on a picky day would like, starchy foods like a pretzel and chips with guac. We did think they had Mac and cheese but we were told that was only on the dinner menu. Whatever, we made it work. Kids got to eat and us parents were able to eat and have a drink. Hands down the best dirty martini I ever had. They knew EXACTLY how to work with Bombay Saphire… not many places do. My husband had the burger with blue cheese and he states it was the best burger he had in the city in a very long time. I had the Clam Chowder pot pie. It was excellent. The broth could have been thicker but I wasn’t mad about it. At some point the chef came out to introduce himself and ask how our food was. The girls gave their thumbs up and we were so happy to praise him on his skills. We all left with our bellies full.“

“I went to Harry's for my birthday dinner while visiting NYC in May 2025. Everything was absolutely perfect. Best beef wellington I've ever had. The service was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the creme brulee topped everything off. I plan to dine there everytime I visit NY. I would recommend to any and everyone.“

“Amazing ambience and great selection of spirits! The whole “brandy in a library by a fireplace” concept is perfectly executed. I must add that their food is delicious too. Filet mignon is to die for! Love to come here for a chill relaxing hang with friends!“

“Joy was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, she was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. Her energy and hospitality really stood out and added so much to our experience at Living Room Bar. It’s rare to come across someone who makes such a great impression just by being genuinely kind and attentive. Thank you, Joy, for making our night even better! We’ll definitely be back. ❤“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“Beautiful ambiance, decor, and music — genuinely loved the atmosphere and wanted to love this place overall. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were incredibly disappointing. I tried a cocktail, the potato croquettes, a cheese board, and even the prosecco, and everything tasted off or low quality. It’s rare for me to leave a negative review, but the experience just didn’t match the vibe or pricing at all. Huge potential, but the food menu needs really need improvement. Only 4 stars because I grew up in Jersey city and support new restaurants; but for the love of god please update the food menu!!!!!!!!!“

“We came for sunset views and were not disappointed. Very nice view, either towards WTC or New Jersey.
The service unfortunately did not meet our expectations. We waited approx. 20 min to order drinks, while every other table was served. We finally went to the bar ourselves and ordered drinks. Staff seemed a bit stressed and did not offer any smiles on a rather calm Monday evening.“

“I went for the very first time for New Jersey Deathfest and found it to be the ideal venue for hard-core and metal. The sound is actually top notch and the staff is very friendly. The gritty decor and atmosphere is very reminiscent of a lot of the noteworthy DIY venues I used to go to in NYC during the 90's for metal and hardcore shows which made it all the more nostalgic for me. I would definitely return here for another show in the future.“

“Love coming to Rumba with my husband for lunch and dinner. Always a great time, amazing service, as well as servers, and delicious food. The portions are also large, filling, and very good for the price. Definitely recommend their empanadas, anything with cassava, and their flan is to die for!“

“Rockbar NYC is a lively neighborhood bar known for its inclusive, energetic vibe and strong LGBTQ+ community presence. The atmosphere is casual and fun, with themed nights and music keeping things upbeat. Drinks are straightforward and affordable. A great spot for a relaxed, social night out in NYC.“

“This was our first time eating at Tartinery. There are several items to choose from on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Tartine and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. The concrete countertops around the restaurant were a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly while also providing fast service. We will absolutely visit again when we are in New York.“

“Love The Notch! Can’t wait to see what great bands will be playing there this year and the new friends I’m bound to make! The Notch Family keeps growing! If you haven’t been there yet…… get to it! ❤️🎶🍻“

“We went there for a union get together. It was nice.“

“Best dive bar and best burgers“

“I was recently in New Jersey for a concert and staying at a hotel for a few nights. My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat nearby. We decided to go to this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever. The atmosphere was incredible. Everyone in there was so cool and the bartender was fantastic and very helpful. She recommended the Jack Daniels burger so we both went with it. When I tell you we both dreamed about this burger for our entire trip. We ended up going back to this place two more times. It was such a great local place with great people. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re ever in the area go there and get the Jack Daniels burger. Talk to the locals. Have a pint and enjoy the vibes. 5/5. 10/10. Incredible.“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Great ambiance and hostesses were all most charming and professionally attentive to my every need. Thank you, when back in NYC will definitely return, Inshallah Profesora L“
