50 Best Bars near Bergenfield

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

“Thank you to Kiara, Tommy, and staff. Tommy's sponsored/catered the food at our Tricky Tray this past weekend as well as last year! RAVE REVIEWS!!! Everyone LOVED the food! Everything was delish, fresh, and hot! We can't thank you enough!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 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!“

“JUST TRY IT.

This place is a dive bar. If you like dive bars it's 5/5 but the atmosphere is nothing special.

The beer cheese spread, however, IS something special. As far as I can tell it's just shredded cheddar blitzed together with beet and a little hit sauce but it's incredible. You get a bunch of slices of dense crusty toasted bread and some raw garlic cloves with it. You rub the garlic over the bread to get some garlic on it then spread the cheese over it and something magical happens. The toast is dense enough that it scrapes garlic off the clove more than you would think and that spicy garlic plus the cheese spread is just awesome. Like all the beT recipes it is simplicity itself yet the result is many times more than the sum of the parts.

Beer selection is pretty good too.“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

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

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“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.“

“Birthday celebration for a friend and 13 others . Will be back again. Customer service outstanding. Atmosphere great. Had a wonderful time.“

“As soon as I walk in, I got automatically seated at the bar by the host and Megan, my bartender gave me the menu (dinner and happy hour) with her warming customer service hospitality.

The interior of the bar is so dope with the neon light with television for sports. They also have a DJ booth for music. I will recommend people to check this place and enjoy their time in the scenery!“

“All of the above, great place for sure!!“

“Found this place on TickTock and what a find!!! Amazing service, so welcoming and the team gets to know you. Food is delusions , creative in the way they host events . You walk in as a customer , and walk out as family. Highly recommended this place , as I even held my birthday party here. 10/10!!!“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“great local spot love it here“

“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.“

“My favorite place to go and have a beer and a burger. Prices are very reasonable and the staff treats you like family. Tuesday trivia nights and Wednesday karaoke nights are super fun, but they also have cards, dominoes, and board games. Burgers are great but the wings are to die for! Hot honey garlic, if you know you know.“

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

“I’ve been to rock 21 a couple times with a few friends and I have to say it’s actually one of the best karaoke spots in Palisades Park. The food is great, and so are the drinks, And honestly, the service was exceptional.“

“I came in for a drink with friends and still can’t get over how awesome our bartender was. Anna was wonderful. She made us the most amazing drinks and made the evening special! Our only complaint was that the bar’s marketing is so abysmal, it was my first time hearing about it.“

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

“Celebrated my birthday here 8.22.26
Bre and Stephanie took great care of my party… food was good and came out on time, dj/music was excellent and the service from the bartenders/servers was top tier. Will be returning. Thank you so much“

“Good food and decent selection of beers. It's a cozy spot and has happy hour. They do some events but might need to follow their IG. Parking can be crowded and tight on weekend evenings but I hear they may be expanding that soon. They have a dart board but it's usually covered up by a seat. I'd recommend this spot.“

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

“so great! the french fries are amazing and it’s so calming and welcoming. all the food looks so delicious, and the ginger beer is to dieeee for! 😉😍😍😊 if you’re in the harlem area, it’s a must try, and you cannot skip.“

“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. 😊“

“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.“

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

“The food was amazing. I highly recommend the Croque Madame. Lena was a spectacular server, we could not have asked for better.“

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

“Came here on a rainy Sunday with the toddler. And as beer places should be, they were super chill and welcoming. Great beer list that skews more local than the other top beer bars in the city, which is refreshing AND leads to the list being things we don’t see (a definite win). 10/10 would recommend, which is what I’m doing right now.“

“The best place in the neighborhood“

“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.“

“Great local Irish Pub. Good food and service. Will be coming back“

“The Wolfe was a great stop near the American Museum of Natural History. The happy hour special is a great deal. Our food came out fast, which helps when you have a hungry kid waiting. David, our server, was friendly and attentive. My son loved the sliders and finished them all. Go before or after the museum. We will be back. The tables have high stools but there is a booth on the other side of the table.“

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

“This cozy Harlem bar has such a warm, inviting neighborhood atmosphere with beautiful wood details, comfortable seating, and a relaxed, homey vibe. Cocktails were creative and well-balanced (the smoked old fashioned and the citrus gin fizz were highlights). The short rib tacos and truffle fries were delicious. Staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. The total was around $25-40 per person. A true local gem!“

“It's run by Rashad.nuff said“

“I come to Lucille’s almost everyday (except Mondays). Doesn’t matter if it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, their food and drinks is always amazing, service is also great, the place is beautiful overall, Lucille’s one of those hidden gems in the area. I’d recommend the salmon burger & house salad, breakfast sandwich with sausage, wings, turkey sandwich, chicken sandwich, guava and chicken waffle, shrimp & grits. For drinks the spiced sangria , espresso martini, chai latte, sweet tea are great! They also have a good point system so if you go there often, like me, once in a while you’ll get a free drink.“

“Was on our way to another bar, "late" last night (not even Midnight) after having been turned aside by the Marriott but then drove by Andy's Corner and immediately pulled a U-ey.This place is a gem. The bartender is swell and the vibe is laid-back friendly.You might think "Dive Bar" (in the best possible way) when walking up to the front door, but what you get when you open the door is a Classy Establishment.To the backyard party-goers of Bergen County--- leave your block, for the love of Mike, and patronize this place. It's in your neighborhood, after all!!“

“Great vibe for live music! From Grunge to Reggae... Great pub food!! I'm hooked on Thursdays Jazz!!! Every Thursday has different surprise guests - Jazz at The Dog House is NEVER boring!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏽☮️🇺🇲🗽“

“You probably know this already based on how many years on the raw I reviewed this spot. Same true feeling along the way to now. .The ub we call it for short ( we so familiar) is one of my neighborhood fav spots in the area. And I have lived on 149/150 th since 1996. if you told me the cute , cool vinyl spot it is now I would not believe you but it's real.. I love coming here to hang😁...“

“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“

“very cute vibe and super kind waitstaff!! however if you have a bigger body at all, prepare to feel absolutely cramped. upon entering you literally have to squeeze behind everyone seated at the bar. its about a foot of space! then on the other side of the restaurant, the tables are packed so tightly together you will literally be touching legs with the folks next to you. and to make matters worse, theres one long booth for all the tables and its packed full with pillows! so now the pillows are occupying the already tight space to sit. i know restaurants in this city have to make the most of their square footage, but this one felt particularly compacted.“
