50 Best Bars near Bergenfield

“Great place to hang out the bartenders are great and the people that go there are all friendly I always have a good time when I go there I used to hangout at barrel and brew but the owner son has a bad attitude because he's a Manger his dad owns the business.“

“I have passed this restaurant 100+ times and just never went in. It kinda looked dark and unopened. I have noticed that the owners spruced up the exterior with flowers and outdoor seating. I also noticed they were now on DoorDash. I ordered a bunch of papusas and a tamale . The papusas were a tiny bit greasy but otherwise very good. The tamale was also excellent. Amando's seems to be stepping up their game, given them a try.“

“Usually leave this place stuff. Great food. What else could you want.“

“Lovely welcoming pub with great bar staff and friendly customers who like to chat. Big shout out to Carry, Gary, and Mike who all made me feel very at home in this authentic Irish bar. Food was delicious and portions were generous, defiantly recommend a visit. Thank you Guys“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“My husband and I are checking off the top 10 East Harlem eateries. The Earls beer and cheese is ranked #5. Their drink and food met lol our high expectations. We had blackberry hard cider and BBQ brisket taco
The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

“did the work, bought the shirt! awesome space!!“

“great place..attention to customers is second to none!“

“Come for the trivia stay because it's a really awesome place to be. E's Bar is preeeetttty awesome and quite a good size to be able to have a good time! The drinks are reasonably priced and the Tres Fish Tacos are BOMB. I appreciate the fact that they choose to be a sustainable bar with their LED lighting and purchasing of carbon offsets. It's hard for bars to reduce their environmental impact so any step matters. It always seems like everyone's having a good time here- not trashy at all, just a good neighborhood bar. And they have theme nights too which is fun.“

“The Hamilton is a cozy, warm, bar with an excellent selection of whiskeys. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you find the perfect cocktail for your tastes. Joe, one of the bartenders, also host a a rotating exhibition of different artists about once a month. You can get a perfect Manhattan and a piece of artwork for your livingroom. 😊“

“I made a reservation for a post marathon group and Amity Hall Uptown hit it out of the park!

My group as a little late, and they accommodated without missing a beat, switching us to a larger table once the whole crew arrived after a delay.

Big shout out to the staff: front of house, to the wait staff to the runners/kitchen and bartenders (and the DJ, for all the marathon runner shout outs) The food was good and the dinks was cold.“

“Love this place. I am here for work and just wanted to have a chill night. It is Monday at 9:20 PM and they have live music! The ambiance is amazing, and the bartender Nathaniel makes some fantastic drinks! He checked on me multiple times to ensure I was good and liked the drink. The espresso martini is to die for! I can tell they use real espresso and not just liqueur. If I were local this would be my go-to place, but for now it is where I will be coming to when I’m in town and I’ll be sure to recommend it to my colleagues who travel up here and the ones who live in the area. Love it.“

“Easily the most relaxed, down-to-earth, cozy bar in the city. I brought my dog here often when I lived across town -- dog and family-friendly. Beer is always high quality and the bartenders are just beyond wonderful. (Shoutout to Geoff, Hannah, Joe, and Bear!) Highly recommend going in on the first Monday of the month, where you can catch a great jazz night. I've since moved to Philly but am moving back and when I do, you'll know where I'll be on a Saturday. :)“

“Leanne, is an exceptional server and always brings a big smile to the table, great Food, and atmosphere. Fun and friendly place.“

“This bar is a hidden gem where exceptional drinks meet mouthwatering food. The cocktail menu is inventive, featuring both classic and innovative creations, while the food offerings are a culinary delight. The ambiance is inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates a top-notch drinking and dining experience.“

“I am not really big on writing reviews (since the reader can never be sure if they are “real”), but I have to make an exception with the Blackbird Pub and restaurant, in Cliffside Park New Jersey.
The moment you walk in the door, you are greeted and made to feel welcome, as if you are an old friend, not a “walk-in”. That high level of attention continues throughout the visit. You literally never have to ask for a beverage re-fill, the staff cheerfully graciously stays one step ahead of you all the time.
Regarding the food, The Blackbird offers a nice variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and the like. While I have not tried everything on the menu, I can definitely say that the various hamburger options are all superb, as are the wings, with five varieties of sauces, (hot honey, garlic, barbecue, buffalo, garlic, parmesan, and sweet chili Thai).
Prices are reasonable; the crowd is always genial and mellow, and the owner and staff are warm, friendly, and frankly an interesting group of characters with entertaining stories to tell.
I highly recommend that you give The Blackbird Pub and Restaurant a try. You will be glad that you did.“

“This is a great place for the younger and older crowd!! The food is great 👍“

“Loved my first experience here. Stopped in after shopping the town. Bartenders Tommy and Anthony were working and made incredible drinks. They were both very inviting and make you feel at home. I will be back to enjoy the atmosphere and great bartending skills.“

“Amazing food. Huge Portions. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I live 4 hours away. 😭“

“This spot has the right elements working together seamlessly. The freshness contributes significantly to the taste. The staff's lovely demeanor complemented their attentiveness. This place maximizes limited square footage. The crowded venue still delivered a pleasant dining experience.“

“At a first glance, this place makes you feel like you should walk in and order an espresso. Super authentic Italian coffee, with a tasty and not too sweet Da Capo latte (chocolate and hints of hazelnut) I would recommend. There are also very good pastries and a cute little table setup on the street to enjoy on warmer days.“

“This cozy restaurant has left me with the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious food. It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming.“

“It's Cool I liked when I went I attended to go again but I'm sick this week so maybe next week I'll be there“

“Everything ..I’ve been going to the bar for 30years and they also have a great female pool team..come on down and support your local team..chicks with sticks“

“This place is soooo much fun weather you're going for lunch with coworkers or partying on a Friday night! It's great for friends, couples, parties, events. The food is delicious without breaking the bank and the staff is beyond courteous and helpful. 5 star, absolutely recommend!“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“Ottime birre. Proprietario/staff molto gentili. Prezzo in linea con Manhattan. 👍“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Great neighborhood sports bar. Good food, good friendly service, fair prices, a full bar and good selection of beers. The wings are a good value and good quality and the burgers and fries are on point. Try the whiskey burger. Be nice to the bartender and you will be well taken care of.“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“Absolutely love this place. I always make a trip when I can for some tasty cocktails and good chill environment“

“In my neighborhood The Upside Bar is full of great vibes , it’s a great place to have a beer or cocktails. The bartenders are really cool as are the regulars. It’s a cool crowd , great atmosphere and conversation. Cherokee“

“Great service! You wouldn’t know they were short staffed.“

“Stumbled upon this beer bar while on a walk. Fantastic beer bar and great new addition to the neighborhood. Natural wines on tap and cider in cans if beer isn’t your thing. They also have some snacks to munch on. Service and vibe were both great! Highly recommend.“

“Fast delicious service first time not last“

“If you are in Nothern NJ this is the go to karaoke. They have a full compliment of English and Korean songs to sing and the sound system is crisp and clean. If you are looking to sing one song or song to your heart's content being the person who never let's go of the mic, I recommend to sing here. Bottle pricing is also very affordable here compared to other similar businesses.“

“been going here for years. steak sandwich is awesome! we actually call it the steak bar.“

“great local spot love it here“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“Update 07022025 approximately 230 to 430pm.
Dog friendly bar need I say more? Yes. What is so important? The fact that no one said a word when Bailey joined me on cushioned bench in the primo booth. And we both appreciated the ample window picturing Amsterdam avenue business, like tv to her, she told me.

Bartender did his job cool and proper by leaving us alone to nurse my beer and our water. We will be back.“

“A friend and I picked this bar off a Google search. What a FIND!! Small but modern bar space. LINDA was extremely friendly and professional behind the bar. she made our initial visit a 10 plus! The Italian restaurant next door offered a great menu and delicious food. Will be a constant when heading out for drinks and dinner.“
