50 Best Pubs near Clifton

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

“I held a celebration of life in the private dining room. In addition to the food being plentiful and delicious the wait staff were all excellent. I would recommend the Cloverleaf for any special occasion function as well as regular dining. They provided the best venue possible“

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

“My husband & I met there 46 1/2 years ago. Got engaged there the next New Year’s Eve & we’ve been married 45 years. We always visit when we come up to Jersey. I’m here alone this time but I’m going to stop in.“

“Im here on Fridays as much as possible.....Mugs Pub is where its @ TamRock is the best“

“TL;DR: Mulligan’s is a top-tier soccer bar with professional staff, solid bar food, a pool table, and a strong selection of local and imported beers on tap.

Mulligan’s Pub is widely considered the premier destination in New Jersey for watching soccer. The establishment consistently opens early for Premier League kickoffs and maintains a dedicated environment for fans of various international leagues. The atmosphere is consistently high-energy without being overbearing, making it a reliable spot for both major tournaments and weekly league fixtures.

The service is efficient and the staff is professional, managing large match-day crowds with ease. Regarding the menu, the food is quality bar fare; the wings and burgers are dependable.

The layout includes a pool table in the back and dart boards, providing activity beyond the screens. Their draft list is well-balanced, featuring some local craft beers alongside standard European imports like Guinness. It is a straightforward, well-run Irish pub that prioritizes the viewing experience for supporters.“

“This place is outstanding. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Food is crazy good. For a game night the energy is palpable. As a Southerner that works for a NJ company, the 101 Pub represents everything great about the area - the local feel, the strong drinks, the vocal opinions about the sports teams. Not to be missed.“

“Family business, friendly people, great food!“

“Michelle is the best bartender Friendly atmosphere great wings Redd is great too!! Busy nite Michelle was awesome! Handled the crowd like the pro she is!!!“

“O'Donnell's Pub has the best Guinness I've ever had. (And I have been to Ireland). Most places must use the wrong gases, or don't clean the beer lines and it taste almost grassy. Not a O'Donnell's. It is smooth and just fantastic.“

“dps is absolutely AMAZING! not just the food... it's the PEOPLE that work there & the owner Anthony. everyone always goes above & beyond to make the service amazing! DPs is mine & my boyfriend's go to date night. we love it! it's a perfect family owned restaurant that feels like your home away from home. so glad you're back & open🖤“

“Karol's Pub is a hidden gem. They sell Zywiec, which is great Polish beer, smooth and incredibly potent. The walls are covered with cartoon murals, there's a pool table in the back, a dart board, and an awesome digital jukebox. Karol himself is a great, easygoing funny guy. The bar has plenty of regulars, and DJs on Friday nights. They don't sell food, however they have menus from nearby pizza places available and you can order delivery to the pub.“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“First time here tonight and will definitely be back! Great food great service!“

“The girls are really pretty, standard price for lap dances. The girls definitely make sure that you’re having a great time, they definitely take care of you in the best way. They don’t have that many women in that spot which is understandable considering how small the place is. So it’s best you sit somewhere comfortable where you’re not too far away from the action. But the only drawback is there isn’t much privacy in the lap dance room so you’re bunched up with other people in there plus the dancers and it does get mighty uncomfortable. They are definitely respectful towards you and treat you like human beings instead of an ATM which is rare nowadays plus they don’t pressure you to drink coming from someone who’s a non drinker.“

“Excelente lugar y Gracias por sus chelas todo. Salió muy divertido y me divierto ahi bachatiando.“

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

“The sexiest dove bar. Found this place thru the comedy circuit and have been coming for years now. Absolutely love love love the food. Them Carolina gold wings are wildly addictive. The staff is super dope (awesome). The banter is bar none. Great place Great atmosphere. Go enjoy yourself, Shae said so.“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Best Corned Beef Sandwich in the State and and awesome burgers as well!“

“Great food, lots of TVs, good drinks. One of my favorite local spots to come to. Awesome porterhouse deal on Wednesdays! Always something happening on Saturday nights whether it’s a band or a comedy show, it’s a really fun spot. Really any day of the week it’s a good vibe, highly recommend.“

“Today my dad and I had Easter Brunch at the Glen Rock Inn. It was amazing! There was a great selection of food. It was fresh, delicious and being replenished often. I have been to many buffets that sort of seem picked over as the day goes on. Not here! We had the last seating and everything was plentiful and fresh. The dining rooms were festive with pastel napkins and flowers. It was also not noisy at all even though every table was full. The staff was very attentive and we were not rushed at all. This experience really made our holiday. We will definitely be back.“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“I stopped by McGinley Square Pub and really enjoyed the laid-back neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of place where locals come to relax, grab a drink, and catch up with friends. The food was classic pub fare — simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming and casual. Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood bar if you’re looking for a chill spot to hang out.“

“Love the place. Just had a few beers but great and friendly staff“

“great place great football menu other food is good as well“

“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!!“

“I live in Washington @ 11th. My two locals were Ted & Joe’s and Maxwell’s. Both gone. Lately been too busy to find a new local but Finnegan’s would be in the running. The premier establishment in Hoboken to experience local bands in a great space. As a performer it is great!!!!!!“

“Great fun on a Friday of course! But killer ribs on Thursday. Music on Wednesday is always a good time! 😄“

“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.“

“Atmosphere was great, super chill and perfect for a casual night out. Callie, I hope I got her name right, did a wonderful job. She was working as both the bartender and our server and handled everything so smoothly. You could tell she was busy but still stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. The drinks were amazing too. Definitely a good spot for casual drinks with friends.

Unfortunately, the steak wasn’t our favorite. Me and my girls all ordered it and it was very hard to chew (cooked medium) and could have used more seasoning :/ That said, the fries that came with it were amazinggg.

Overall, I would definitely come back for the drinks and the vibe.“

“Stopped in yesterday. The food and prices were really good. The two bartenders couldn't be bothered. Luckily they left at 6 and a much better bartender started working.“

“A great place to go to and have a good time and a cold beer“

“The food, bartenders and patrons make Carpe Diem a great spot. Thoroughly enjoyed!“

“Good food good service,good bartenders“

“Good IrishPub with entertainment“

“I haven’t been to The Barn since my kids were young, but we visited Abma’s farm today for the hayride with my daughter and granddaughter and stopped at The Barn for dinner after. What a delight! The staff were so welcoming and child-friendly. I have never been anywhere as child-friendly in Bergen County. Their outside seating area is perfect for families with young children in tow. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“Very relaxed environment. The bartender was very cordial and interacted with the kids very well. Our table was ready about 15 mins after our reserves time but there was plenty of room to hang out and converse. The menu has ample options for everyone. The burgers and tater tots were our favorite. I would suggest going burger over the salad if you are on the fence. Service was very slow, but the bartender noticed and acted to ensure everyone was happy. I would highly recommend this spot.

The holiday crowds made parking near impossible. We ended up just going home and grabbing an Uber to simplify the process.“

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

“Muy buen lugar buena atención“

“the food is great, the staff is awesome and the atmosphere is beautiful. having my baby shower here in march and really looking forward to it!!“

“By food I mean the beer I haven't had the chance to eat there yet but the food looks good. Stopped by there yesterday since I was close to the location and had the pleasure of meeting an amazing bartender Sebastian. Answered all my questions, very knowledgeable about beer and was generous to allow me to sample before I picked what I wanted to drink. Atmosphere is laid-back, I was able to chat with a few other customers no issues, everybody was friendly. Exactly how a local bar should be, welcoming and warm. I also learned from him that they have a system ( which to me is very modern because I haven't heard about this ) but every time they change the keg there's an auto feature that cleans the line out by itself which makes a lot of sense because you don't want to have the taste of a sour beer in an IPA and vice versa or mix it up. When I found that out, I realized this is the place to go to for an amazing variety of beers which will always be guaranteed fresh because of their processes. Definitely worth a visit for some fresh cold beer with a great variety and knowledgeable bartender, can't get better than that!!“

“BEST SERVICE IN THE WORLD! And do yourself a favor and order the burgers.“

“Тне best local craft beer place. Always perfect beer selection“

“It is under New Management has a new owner they call it the after dark lounge hot hot ladies and the street artists walkthrough and very safe environment inside and outside. The owner also owns LaRouge lounge downtown Newark this is a great place to go party.. lastly but not least they have an outside deck with cabanas under construction“

“the whole menu is impressive! it was hard to make a choice. all of their sides are really creative. the food was hot, fresh and we look forward to our next visit already. the specials all sounded fantastic and creative too.“

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

“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“
