50 Best Cocktail Bars near Bloomfield

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“Just had the best experience with ladyfingers! I had a birthday party for my daughter and they provided a two tier cake and a coffee bar. Lauren was very responsive from start to finish. I was able to pick the flavors and filings for each tier off their long list of options. I didn’t have much time to look for a cake design so just sent over a photo of a cake that I quickly googled. They were able to create it, and even better, they added a customized cake topper with my daughter’s name. They also delivered it to the venue which was very important to me since I didn’t want to deal with picking up a big cake from a bakery and making sure it didn’t get ruined during an already busy day. At the party they provided us with a “coffee bar” serving up a variety of flavored hot and iced coffee & chai. The guests loved this! Many drove from far so a coffee option was exactly what the needed upon arrival. The onsite team was great, arrived early to setup, and went above and beyond by lending me a cake stand and having ice delivered for us when we were unable to get any because it happened to be sold out everywhere near by. Overall great experience and would highly recommend them!“

“Outstanding food, service, atmosphere! Definately a place to have a great night!“

“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We were going to a show at White Eagle Eagle Hall. It is literally two doors away and was fabulous. The cocktails were delicious, the food was amazing and the ambience was fun and inviting. We would definitely recommend Jane Doe and hope to come back again soon.“

“We are BEYOND ECSTATIC with our wedding cake and all other pastries and desserts provided by Calandra’s Bakery! No other bakery bakes your cake at 3:00AM the day of your wedding and it shows! Super fresh moist and SUPER DELICIOUS! Every guests commented about the spectacular presentation…simple yet elegant carrying our live orchid theme with LIFELIKE piped orchid petals cascading down each layer! What a joy to have such an unforgettable and memorable experience of knowing our family and friends will remember our wedding cake as much as we will! We had the choice of several bakeries but must end by telling this story…we had checked out a couple of bakeries but after a final wedding gown fitting we decided to visit Calandras. Unannounced we asked to see the person who could help us with our wedding cake. Calandra’s is an incredible “complex” and was extremely busy place but we were directed to Aisha Maliki. Aisha dropped everything presented us with an exquisite tray of every wedding cake option in bite size proportions all fresh and delicious. She gave us coffee and tea and gave us time to talk amongst ourselves in a relaxed atmosphere until our decision was unanimous! She then proceeded to take us through the endless design options available and helped us tweak every little detail until alas our vision for the PERFECT wedding cake had come to life! Mind you we did this unannounced but Aisha couldn’t have been more cordial personable professional and most of all friendly! We left SO elated to leave having one of the most important wedding checkboxes checked and feeling we just had welcomed a new family member into the fold! Based on our incredible experience with Aisha and Calandra’s your choice for YOUR wedding cake and pastries should be Calandra’s! You will definitely not be sorry!“

“Little Sheep Hot Pot at American Dream is a must-try! Their broths are flavorful, the ingredients fresh, and the Wagyu is amazing. Right now, they’re offering one free fatty beef with any Wagyu order through 10/31 — such a great deal! Friendly service, cozy vibes, and a perfect spot for a hotpot night. Highly recommend!“

“Great cocktails and knowledgeable staff“

“Food was really good. The Amish Chicken and Jerk Short ribs were delicious. Server was great. Kitchen seemed to get a bit backed up a peak time. That gave us an opportunity to taste their pull apart bread (whoa), which they brought out due to the wait.

We'll be going back.“

“I honestly can't remember the last time I visited a restaurant and gave it a perfect 10 across the board, but this place truly deserves it. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. I needed the restroom right away, and the bartender, Orlando, kindly escorted me to it, making me feel so welcomed. Once we were seated, the food started arriving, and I was blown away. The chef here is absolutely amazing. Her dishes are not only delicious but also incredibly well-prepared. The unique flavor combinations and creativity are outstanding. It's honestly some of the best food and service I've had in a while. I left feeling like I spent my money very happily. I truly hope this hidden gem and the talented chef behind it get the recognition they deserve for their incredible work."“

“Been here 2xs, food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Seasonal cocktails. A stranger , i will call Joy, bought us a drink. Thank you!“

“Excellent Ramen. Great service. Great little spot. The kimchi they bring you is divine, spicey, and delicious. The Spicey Ramen I had was amazing, even down to delicious bean sprouts. The spring rolls were on point. By far the best shrimp tempora I've had. Simple, light, crisp and delicious. Oh and the house sake was fantastic. If you're in the area, check this place out. It will not disappoint!“

“Queridos Alex y María, Desde el principio captaron mi atención. Su huella en la industria es única; a lo largo de los años, su constancia ha sido de primera. Oro para que cada proyecto en el que se aventuren multiplique su fe en Dios.“

“I expected this tour to be good, but it far exceeded (and not just because of the cocktail provided on arrival!) With a host who is deeply knowledgeable, a great presenter and clearly passionate about the quality and production of his spirits, you get a detailed explanation of the history and development of distilling in Europe and New Jersey, the processes used by All Points West, a brief chemistry lesson and the opportunity to taste the difference in the spirits distilled. Then it was about enjoying our choice of cocktails...... Thank you Gil“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“Great service, good food and lots of TVs. Need QuickDraw but not a deterrent at all. 💯 I’ll be back very soon“

“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.“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“An excellent spot with a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere, a mix of classic, alternative and modern rock-inspired vibes. The music is great, and above all, the quality and variety of their handcrafted spirits, made right on-site, are outstanding. Their cocktails are equally impressive, both in taste and creativity.
The only downside during our visit was the wait time between placing our order and receiving our drinks. There was only one bartender on duty, and although the place wasn’t completely full, the crowd size really called for an extra pair of hands behind the bar. That’s definitely an area they could improve.
Overall, though, the experience was very enjoyable, and I’d gladly come back.“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

“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.“

“This past August, I had my daughter’s bridal shower at Sidebar. I made all my arrangements with Danny. It was a pleasure to work with him. Everything turned out great. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, the waiters and waitresses were very accommodating. Everyone had a great time. Don’t hesitate to have an event here!“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“Great restaurant good food and friendly staff.“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

“Excellent. Loved the service and the food. My first time visiting from Florida.“

“Calandras has a great menu with delicious food! The entire restaurant is beautiful with great service and the food is so good. Have eaten here a few times now and it never disappoints! It was happy hour on the patio or bar. It was a great option allowing for the opportunity to try various items. Best choice for me as I wanted to try so much. I saw various other dishes from the wings, charcuterie board to the Caesar salad and the sliders. Everything looked so good \n\nThe calandras salad is so yummy with a light vinegrette dressing. It is light but enhances the flavor of the salad elevating it. The chicken parm is a large portion with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The pizza is amazing! You wouldn’t expect a tasty pizza but it is so good. Definitely a great eat and the staff are so personable.“
