50 Best Bars near Closter

“Seriously the best French food I have had in a while! And for sure the best French Restaurant in NJ.“

“????? 5-Star Experience at Dyckman Bar! ??️

Had an amazing time at Dyckman Bar last night! The drinks were simply fantastic – expertly crafted cocktails that hit all the right notes. The food? Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, top-notch service, and incredible food and drinks, look no further! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“Amazing food and service! The Fall decorations really set the mood for our trip! Onion Rings and Johnnie Burger were amazing!“

“great place..attention to customers is second to none!“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“Loved my first experience here. Stopped in after shopping the town. Bartenders Tommy and Anthony were working and made incredible drinks. They were both very inviting and make you feel at home. I will be back to enjoy the atmosphere and great bartending skills.“

“This was a really fun time it's exactly what we wanted. There was street parking but the lot of this place was full the whole time. Bathrooms were clean. Bartender poured serious drinks and had us singing by the 2nd round. It's always nice to have a private room to just sing out with friends. They are very popular so you may need to order some food and drinks if you want more than one hour but that probably depends on the day. Anyway I highly recommend this place, we will be going again. I know the room we were in was a little tight but I imagine they have larger rooms for more people.

Parking: There was parking but it was full we found spots on the street and I think the signs said after 7pm you're good.

Kid-friendliness: There were kids having birthday parties in other rooms we only saw passing in the halls

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think this was wheelchair friendly I know we took a small flight of maybe 4-7 steps at the entrance but that was it.“

“Big group of us (over 20) called in for breakfast before a match in Gaelic Park. Service, cleanliness and staff hospitality were second to none, before I even mention the food. Breakfast was so good we called back after the match for dinner. Even though it was very busy the staff, accommodated us and the food was excellent, would highly recommend for both food quality and price. Special mention to Danielle who couldn't do enough to make our two visits to the Whlistin Donkey very worth while.“

“Very classy place. You can get beer and liquor there and play pool and darts there and use the bathroom there.“

“great place staff was awesome and the food was very tasty“

“One of my low key spots. Me and my sister always come here to just relax and have some drinks wings. They have tons of beer in tap I don’t drink beer but I’m always making drinks to order. Wish they did have more cocktails and wine selection for the done beer drinkers but still good. The candied sweet chili wings double cooked with everything bagel fries my go to if not their burgers are pretty good as well. Check them out!“

“I went with a group of friends for my birthday last night. It was AMAZING. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The place itself was so clean and cute, really cool vibe. The Apps were great, Hush Puppies and Fried Calamari, yum. I did a make-your-own Seafood Boil. OH MY GOD. The New Zealand Mussels, King Crab and Dungeness Crab was out of this world in the Cajun Butter Sauce. I HIGHLY recommend this spot and will be going back.“

“The food was delicious! The music was great! They came around and asked us what we would like to listen to. Very cozy spot . The food did take some time to come out but the overall experience was worth it. Staff was super nice as well! I would go again“

“Nikki herself is the best ?.
Food is amazing ,her staff is really cool ,Service is always super fast, Prices are great and The Music is always on point ??

Parking: No parking issues

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed. Of course before the party gets started at night.“

“The Omega Boys endorse Scotty's. omegacphs.org👍“

“Everything ..I’ve been going to the bar for 30years and they also have a great female pool team..come on down and support your local team..chicks with sticks“

“This place was great , we had such a good time“

“Absolutely love this place. I always make a trip when I can for some tasty cocktails and good chill environment“

“Nice bad, health is wealth, so it's pure niceness is sold here, juice, sandwich, salad.....it's all so healthy and nice. The staff is pretty wonderful also, I surely recommend stopping...you also get a taster with your juice order.“

“Beautiful view we sat right by the water The food was very good“

“Welcoming, intimate pub. Lovely decor. The ceiling in the woman's bathroom is a bit bizarre - take a look. ;-o

Phenomenal patrons = actors, dancers, directors - eclectic mix of local folks, representing the arts.

Stellar barkeeper. Thank you Joe.“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“This is a great place for the younger and older crowd!! The food is great 👍“

“We met bartender Linda and owner Timmy and they were very friendly and accommodating to us. The bar pool table, the juke box and the spacious backyard deck made us fall in love. - Jesus Medina, certified skate instructor & Adonis Taylor (NYSS co-founders)“

“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!!“

“Very crowded when first walked in however we went to the other side where the pool table is. They accomadated putting the game we wanted on by the pool table however the bartender/waitress was very overwhelmed so her response wasnt the best...Bar pizza was 8/10..fries regular...lemon pepper wings had a bad after taste...music was good (itunes)“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“This cozy restaurant has left me with the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious food. It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming.“

“You probably know this already based on how many years on the raw I reviewed this spot. Same true feeling along the way to now. .The ub we call it for short ( we so familiar) is one of my neighborhood fav spots in the area. And I have lived on 149/150 th since 1996. if you told me the cute , cool vinyl spot it is now I would not believe you but it's real.. I love coming here to hang😁...“

“Went to Dog house yesterday. Found out the chef left. 😩 Food definately proved it. used to Love the cheesecake sandwich, but not today. Way too much Wostishire that overpowered the sandwich and steak sliced too thick. Very disappointed! And the very young bartender was very disappointing also. only 6 people there and not very responsive or knowledgeable!“

“Mostly because I got food. Great prices, 3 beers And a quick side costs half of anywhere you'd run into in Manhattan and was not bad at all. Music doesn't drown out the sports games. Great place to go if you want to watch sports and have a couple beers without breaking the bank.“

“This is the kind of bar that u see on an adam sandler movie where the music is great ppl playing darts the bar tender is cool as hell theres an american flag and the background and everyone is just getting along! Oh and try the wings and thank me!! LolWill be back!“

“Took my husband there on Saturday for his birthday. We had a good time and the food was delicious! Then again their food is always good. We love going here any time we're in the neighborhood. The drinks are pretty good too, their prices are doable lol and the staff is always friendly“

“All in all it was a wonderful brunch experience!“

“Every time we’ve ordered from here the food is fresh, delicious and you can tell how much work they put into making such quality food. Every single time we’ve ordered they have yet to disappoint. Our favorite is the Birria Torta. You can tell that a different person makes it each time but oh my god it’s amazing. And their aguas frascas are to die for. We’ve tried a different variety of foods from across the Bronx but they are 100% top tier.“

“Very nice place, our waitress was super friendly with cute Irish accent. The menu does not have many Irish items but we could find two (Shepherd's pie and Irish breakfast) that tasted very good. We were there on Sunday late afternoon and we enjoyed lovely Irish live music. Very nice experience, would definitely come back if in area!“

“I went to SCRV today for the first time after like a year of wanting to go. This is a fire place in the neighborhood that I probably won't go back to because of the people that goes. Dudes be standing on the wall instead of dancing...that's to say, the ratio is pretty good.. A downside (like the first sentence wasn't one) is it closes at 1 AM at least on Fridays. Furthermore...some of the the women are scheming, trying to sell you on the next spot (spoiler: $100 bottles that really cost 30-40 max which would be fine but... They also charge cover-they don't tell you that part.) Additionally, they'll surely call you broke if you opt out of being swindled.

TLDR: Go to SGRV but not wherever else anyone tell you to go. My honest opinion.“

“I met a number of friends there-had a good time“

“it was my first time at this bar and I had an amazing time! I went with two friends and this place is on the smaller side, which I love. all the drinks I got were great and at reasonable prices; also the bartender on duty was very nice and personable. I cannot recommend this place enough and I cant wait to go again :))“

“Super nice place to hang out with friends and family, gretel o point with service 24/7 , food and drinks 100% the best“

“Great bar! Came in after having a rough day. Sat down and saw around 30+ men go downstairs into the basement. So I got my beer and followed them and saw a full on fight and For some reason there was guy who kept talking. something about rule number 1. You don’t talk about fight club. Whatever this is a great bar will be coming back“

“Ariel the manager is amazing Excellent food and great atmosphere nest of bergen county!“

“Great local Irish Pub. Good food and service. Will be coming back“

“Was in the Bronx for a funeral. Looking for a comfort meal. Our Waitress Maria was amazing. Such a kind loving lady. The food was Great quality and good portions. I’m going to try to go any chance I get.“

“Love this place, it’s where everyone knows your name“

“The party is on another level. The music is very good, the place has two environments, one for dancing and enjoying and another one relaxed for sharing and talking. It gets crowded and the line for the bathroom is endless sometimes, but it's worth coming.“

“We decided to return to this lounge for the second time because we enjoyed the first visit.This visit different but mostly fun nonetheless.We sat for maybe 5-10 minutes because the bartender finished her conversation to attend to us.During those 5-10 minutes we enjoyed the Karaoke that was two rum punches which was a whopping $30.That threw me off a bit because on our first visit we order 6 drinks total for $50.Anyway, the rum punches were good, one was STRONG, the other was sweet but you could still taste the liquor.We were then greeted by a second bartender who was more pleasant than the first and more welcoming.She asked questions and checked on us to make sure we were okay.The dj was good but you can tell he’s old school which is fine because the car attracts crowds off all ages.The regulars there participating in the karaoke had great voices, especially the men.I asked about a food menu but was told that the kitchen was closed, this was about 11:30pm Friday night.They recommended a food truck that was parked next to the building that was affiliated with the lounge.The bathroom was very clean and well kept.

Parking: It’s best to take a cab or public transportation“

“I'm giving it a four star because I did have a good time last night celebrating my sister in law birthday. The Birthday packages are great. Would recommend that for sure. The Dj last night was good, made me dance all night. Surly is recommended for adults only. I was very disappointed that is CASH ONLY Place. Make sure y'all have lots of CASH with you, there is an ATM INSIDE with a $4.85-ish fee every transaction. Keep in mind that after 10pm they charge entrance, have your ID'S ready and they do body check, and leave your coat with a fee.In overall my experience was great.“
