50 Best Bar & Grill near Bloomfield

“I used to go to this spot on Bloomfield Ave a few years back, but one of the owners (Tommy, i seem to remember) would get a little too animated and become obnoxious towards the customers.

I figured I'd give it another chance and drop by to check it out. It was much more chill. The food was standard bar food, and the beers were relatively inexpensive. The girls behind the bar were cute and attentive. They have a DJ on the weekends, and he plays the classics from back in the day.

Overall, it was a much better experience for me, at least.“

“Lunch was delicious. My burger was so delicious and Chris provided excellent service. Thank you and we will be back for another chamber luncheon meeting! 😋“

“Ordered The Steak with Beans and Rice on Valentine's Day for me and my wife, and OMG. Not what I was expecting. Boy was I fooled. Very Delicious, and flavorful, as well as the presentation (was Excellent). Now I can lock this in as one of my go to restaurants.“

“It's my second time going, and I'm in love with their Birria tacos 🌮, The first time my friend and I went, i fell in love with their coconut mojito the second time I was so disappointed it didn't taste the same. The bar Tennant wasn't the same person as the first time. the first time was a lady. Overall, I'll still continue to visit this spot“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Orange Lantern is an awesome spot! The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, and they do a great job with their menu. What really makes this place stand out is the live music and events—always top-notch and such a great vibe to hang out with friends and enjoy the night. Definitely one of the best places around to eat, drink, and catch some amazing live performances. Highly recommend!“

“I was renovating my house over the summer and my kitchen was out of commission for four months. We ate lunch here practically the entire time. I NEVER had a bad dish! The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Let’s start with the positives, no issues getting a seat, the waitstaff was attentive, and everything was fast and easy. The DJ was fire, the vibes were good, and I genuinely enjoyed my time there. The wings were surprisingly mid, and the disco fries were undercooked and somehow burnt on the edges at the same time so maybe it was put in an oven. I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I let it go. The food is definitely overpriced, but I’d still come back to watch a game and hang out and even eat since I’d already be there. The hours are also a big plus.“

“I'm a simple man. I saw a burger, beer, and shot happy hour for $10 and went running. I was expecting a little burger for the price but it was a solid tasty one. An added plus is the good selection of craft beer on draft. The bartender Stefany was very welcoming and hooked me up with an unconventional old fashion that hit the spot paired with the burger.

I thought this place was just the bar but I discovered there's another room with a pool table. I'll definitely back for that and the dart board.“

“Everything you could want from a North Jersey Bar. Happy to get in there this weekend to eat good and enjoy the games.“

“Always a great time with Tabby, Ngozi, Nat and my karaoke crew!“

“Stopped in for an appetizer and a beer before heading home for the day. We arrived after they opened at 4 and there were a few people already there. The bartender was super friendly. We ordered some local beers (good variety on tap) $10 a beer, and an order of the bang bang shrimp. I am still thinking about them.....for $18 there was a good amount of shrimp, the sauce was perfect and the crispiness of the shrimp was the best I have ever had. We will definitely be back for the shrimp and will stay for dinner this time. They have two floors of outdoor seating as well which is blocked from the main road.“

“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.“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

Our bartender, Francesca was also a vibe & makes the best cosmos I’ve ever had…I definitely recommend the Thai chili wings. They were amazing the crispy chicken tacos also looked good. I would rate the food 10 out of 10 the drinks 10 out of 10 the customer service 10 out of 10. It’s definitely a must if you haven’t come down to the hive, I promise you will not regret. It’s a whole vibe definitely gonna see me again.“

“Passo spesso da Bardi's Bar and Grill per un panino veloce, ma non riesco a trovarlo nell’app Coverflex: sapete se accettate i buoni pasto?“

“Great vibe!! You will feel right at home!! It is a family owned and worked business so they take very good care of the place and it’s customers!! The food is really good!! The chicken franchise is my favorite… and so good!! Taco Tuesday also has BINGO! Good food and good vibes!!!?“

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

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, awesome service, love trivia night, highly recommended!!!“

“Tonight was my first time at Krugs Tavern & my burger was simply fantastic. Great atmosphere & my waitress was to die for. She was terrific, even when I noticed I forgot my sunglasses & had to go back in & retrieve them, they were on the counter. Thank you so much. 5 stars here. Take care & good luck.“

“Great food, good drinks, nice environment, friendly staff.“

“Great place and great people.“

“Great times all the time.“

“Decades ago, I ate at this location weekly when it was "Eddie's Long Bar". I visited Pour Abbey's a few times. The inside has been COMPLETELY changed for the better. The food is very good and the service excellent. I am not in the area often but will stop here when possible. Well Done!“

“Good and quick service. Best empanadas we ever had. Based on those, the philly cheese steaks were a let down. More bread than filling, hardly any cheese. Tap beer was flat as a Guinness, and wasn't supposed to be. Holiday mule was good.“

“Great prices on drinks served by kickass bartenders, nice people you can talk to, chill atmosphere and a jukebox to play your fave songs. Definitely will be coming back when I can!“

“Saturday karaoke party rocks!“

“It’s very nice place to celebrate our functions“

“Great home town bar. Good food. Good people.“

“Brightside Tavern is the modern day Cheers. If you want to have an experience that you'll never forget, then come down to Brightside tavern 141 Bright Street in Jersey City New Jersey. Tell them Curtiss sent you. Family, and kid friendly too. 🫡🌹“

“As always it was a great evening if amazing food and hospitality by all of the staff. The live band was amazing. A perfect evening to sit outside and relax with my family and celebrate Angela's birthday!“

“Food was great drinks also service on point“

“This is the dive bar that reminds you nobody does dive bars right anymore. I don't even drink and I go here for games just because the vibes are right. Also, the people complaining about the food are snobs. The food is good (especially the wings); it's a bar not a country club.“

“You will not be disappointed great food great people good time !!“

“Love the owner and the great food!!!“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“The drinks and breakfast was delicious!❤❤❤“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“❤100%.... ALWAYS!!!.. EXCELLENT EVERYTHING SERVICE.STAFF. FOOD.DRINKS ALL AROUND 100%“

“From the moment you walk in - the warm welcome from the awesome staff to the very chic decor and once the food came - The salmon was The Best Salmon - cooked to perfection accompanied by a salad. A fun night and don’t miss the entertainment #funfunfun @lindaslist“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“Great spot me and my boys come often Allison and Mel are two great bartenders 💯❤️“
