50 Best Bars near Cliffside Park

“Wow, you really can’t tell from the outside but once inside this bar is awesome. The bartenders are genuinely in tuned with your orders and pay attention to detail. After the 1st time visiting this place, they already knew my drink orders without me saying a word lol. I was skeptical about ordering food from a bar but I’m glad my curiosity superseded my skepticism. Food was delicious. Freshly made chips and salsa, fish and chips all made just right. And the best part of it all, EXCELLENT prices. In today’s economy they still manage to keep prices beyond reasonable and doable.“

“Since the moment I walk in I felt the energy and the great costumer service. The bartender Christine did an amazing job she was so attentive and she was on top of every single detail. I loved the experience in 512 I’ll definitely come back“

“Me having been in the this neighborhood five year, I would walk past this local bar regularly but recently I had noticed some construction inside followed by a name change. It got my attent but wasn't until a few months that I didn't actually go in and Covid did play a factor but man am I glad I did!!! Amy"s warm, genuine and warm greeting was a pleasant surprise. Then immediately you notice the open air lofty feel but with ever thing you expect in a classics traditional American bar. The perfectly sized newly constructed bar as you walk in on the right. Two midsize new pool table, the wall mounted monitor that can be seen from all angles, a perfect located dart board. But wait there is more. Amy who talked to us briefly about the new owners vision gave us the 5 cent tour ending it with the back yard. An oasis of a outdoor gathering area with tables, chairs and heater for those cool spring and summer nights entirely cover but a gazebo. Folks, Brass Rail 2 means business, they are built for you to come enjoy a beer watch baseball game on any of the monitors, play a game of pool, shoot some darts or just come and socialize with your friends or neighbors. Congratulations on building a nice local American Bar look I'm forward to spending time there unwinding after a good days work.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Club House Cafe the best...“

“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 👏“

“Alyrie, thank you for all of your guidance and encouragement throughout this incredibly fun activity. We couldn't have done it without you.

Best coach ever!! 🎉

Shootout to Chris for getting us in to throw the axe and shurieken!“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“NYC classic spot. Came solo on a weekday afternoon. I was able to get a seat by the bar in 15 mins. The staff is friendly & it was a full house. My burger came out pretty quickly and the food was delicious and a very generous portion. I would have skipped the drink for a soda instead. Overall I can’t wait to come back again and try the rest of their menu.“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Salinas! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails were expertly crafted and paired perfectly with the meal. The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Salinas to anyone looking for exceptional Spanish cuisine in New York City, and I can’t wait to return!“

“এই রেস্তোরাঁটি খুবই যুক্তিসঙ্গত মূল্যে অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে সুস্বাদু খাবার সরবরাহ করে। পরিষেবাটি অসাধারণ, এবং সামগ্রিক অভিজ্ঞতা অসাধারণ। দাম সাশ্রয়ী রাখার পাশাপাশি এত উচ্চ মানের খাবার বজায় রাখার জায়গা খুঁজে পাওয়া বিরল। নিঃসন্দেহে, এটি আমার অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে সেরা রেস্তোরাঁগুলির মধ্যে একটি। This restaurant offers incredibly delicious food at very reasonable prices. The service is outstanding, and the overall experience is wonderful. It is rare to find a place that maintains such high quality while keeping prices affordable. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever experienced.“

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“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.“

“Dining at Tha Phraya was a pleasant experience. The ambience of the restaurant and the service was great. The food was delicious with the right amount of spice levels for someone who liked spicy food. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly on a Saturday evening, so reservations are always a good idea. I liked that we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“First time at this restaurant and it was the best food I had during my week long trip in NY.

Shrimp and grits dish is excellent. Special shout out the staff Ana and V. I for attentive service and hospitality. Will definitely come back here my next visit to NY.“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“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.“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“A fun and packed after party spot for us, with welcoming service and Florida weekend vibes. The fairly priced cocktails designed by pedigreed team were really good. No smoke bubble gimmicks here. Burger is also great. Heard happiest meal deal is excellent.“

“It was our first time visiting ART and let me tell you about how amazing our hosts were! Tineal and Kazel's service was incredible because of their attention to detail. My wife definitely enjoyed her birthday drinks plus the music and ambience just set the tone for a great evening. Thank you guys!“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!“

“Had the Mr. Bifana Slider and it was a magical experience. Such flavor in those things. The bread was to die for. Here I was expecting the typical brioche bun on a tiny slider. You can imagine my ecstasy when fresh rolls arrived instead, with deliciously seasoned slices of pork in between. When the chef came out to tell us of his specialty, it truly made me feel like I was at home. Bravo Ten Degrees. Make sure to order the Mr. Bifana sliders when you go to Ten Degrees 🙌🙌🙌“

“Top class place, friendly staff and great food and savage craic! Well worth a visit if you find your self in need of a pint and a shot!“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“So Devious My Mouth Is Feels So Lucky Too Taste“

“The burger lived up to the hype, and the beer selection was excellent. The wait on a Saturday night was about 20 minutes, which is fine. The noise level is high, so not great for a quiet conversation, but perfect for a fun dinner with friends. Would definitely come back.“

“Honestly this shocked and delighted. We had the private room for the night. The food was amazing - much better than I expected.
Service was great. The right amount of time between each course. Read the room well.

Very good spot for a small group dinner.“

“Very fashionable clothing design brand“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“Stand Up Comedy once a month . Next FREE show, Thursday February 7“

“Jimmy's Corner is a must stop every time we're in NYC! The bar tenders are the best part of this place. We can't wait to go back!“

“Chi Restaurant & Bar is incredible! We came in with a large party and they accommodated us perfectly, which meant we got to try almost everything on the menu. The food tasted totally authentic, yet somehow still fresh and fun. Seriously, it felt like every single dish we ordered topped the last one! The duck was absolutely fantastic, and the dim sum and veggies were just as amazing. Whatever you do, definitely don’t skip out on the cute desserts at the end. It's an awesome spot for a group dinner with top-tier food.“

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

“Great place to take out all of your aggression. Great prices for food and drinks“
