50 Best Bars near Cliffside Park

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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.“

“From the minute Ai walked in and was welcomed by the crew I knew I would like the restaurant. The food was fantastic. I ordered the fish from yeh special menu, we ordered other food from the regular menu. Every dish was par excellence. The service was second to none. Very very highly recommended for family, businessman also entertaining anyone. You want it to be special... go to Avila Amalgi Clifford park, Fort Lee“

“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 👏“

“We came here for a girls night and had the best time with Nelson (our instructor) and the rest of the staff! He was very supportive no matter how many times the axe didn’t stick to the wall and checked in on us throughout the hour we booked our lane. Drinks were delicious and I didn’t try the food but I’m sure it would be great as well! Definitely coming back here for a date night and maybe another girls night to have some fun! Thank you to the incredible staff for making this experience and fun memory with us!“

“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.“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great Spot in NYC!! I recommend getting there 10 minutes early and to always have a reservation. The staff were super friendly. The kitchen had already been informed about my allergies. Their Black Label Burger is super juicy. We also ordered the Smoked Duck Breast which also very good. Finally we ordered their Apple Tart which was huge. 10/10“

“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.“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“Such a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of dishes full of flavor. The cocktails were amazing, and the ambiance was the perfect mix of elegant and fun. What really stood out was the friendly and attentive staff, who made us feel welcome throughout the evening. Definitely a place worth visiting in NYC. Can’t wait to come back

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“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.“

“We stumbled across this place yesterday, we dipped in from the cold for a break and had a pleasant surprise, the staff were so welcoming and made sure we got a seat at the bar... later realised I had read about the bar previously, the hot dogs are a lovely touch and drinks amazing prices. x“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and everything tasted amazing! Aommy provided excellent service. She was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back!“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“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!“

“everything food awesome great flavor people very friendly Awesome“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“The food I ordered was so good and well made, great size portion too. Helena was our server and constantly made sure our bottomless drinks were filled to our satisfaction, proactively took away plates and felt no worry in asking us if certain plate could be taken instead of assuming that some left meant we still wanted it, etc. I loved the social aspect of the service, it made it feel like a place I can go and be remembered / taken care of. I’m so drunk writing this right now, the drinks are too good 𓆏“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!!“

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“A beautiful experience on the water“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“Came here on a Saturday evening and it was great!

3 of us came around 11pm and it was $10 cover per person which we were more than okay with!

From the bartenders, security staff, and patrons, our experience was great.

Would recommend visiting, as we would see ourselves coming back every time we’re in New York!

Until next time ✌🏼“

“We were lucky enough to have our wedding reception at Elsa in late July. The staff were so helpful, the drinks were delicious, the inside atmosphere was comfortable, and the outside atmosphere was magical. We brought our own desserts and plates. We could play our own Spotify list. They even made a special kids’ drink for the under-21 set. Our guests loved every moment.“

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

“Across from Central Park, perfect place to dine and people watch. Service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Let them pick the wine. Perfect pairing. Food outstanding. Roasted pear salad best my wife has had. Magical real risotto. Everything fresh made in house. Great start to short trip.“

“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!“

“One of the few remaining places from my 'old day's' of stomping around the Village. Saw so much live music here. My wife DJed happy hour here for years. Collected all their tiki mugs and glasses. And drank every drink off of their menu. Good times for sure!!!“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“
