50 Best Bar & Grill near Cranford

“Great place... I go for lunch all the time... Try the Cheesesteak... The thin crust pizza... Ceasar salad... & the Roast Beef is always Rare...The Staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome..So drinks at the bar or out on the patio.... It's a good time“

“First time visiting for me and my wife, as we walked in we didn’t know where to sit so we went upstairs. However, the server led us to a dimly lit corner despite plenty of tables available so we chose to sit downstairs instead, even though seating there was a bit tight and not very comfortable.

Our server downstairs was attentive and friendly, which we appreciated. That said, the overall atmosphere felt more geared toward guests with reservations for special party celebrations rather than people just for dining in, so we got the impression that we should wrap up and leave once we finished our meal.

The food was decent, and found parking on the street but there’s valet service.“

“it was perfect my fiance took me the food was great the atmosphere was perfect the staff was great“

“This place is a 10/10. I hosted my engagement party here after having my first date here with my fiancé 3 years ago. From the first date to now, we have loved this place. Working with Nicholas was a breeze - he had everything set up beautifully and was extremely professional throughout the process. The party was fantastic - staff was professional and friendly. Food was amazing as well! The whole party enjoyed every aspect of it, and made me look like a genius having it here :)! Thank you to everyone at Pickett's for an unforgettable day.“

“Best bar in linden to have a beer a slice and watch the game
Tv on every angle and every game is on
And if the game isn't on tell Rich the bar man and he will get the game on for you
Also make sure you try the Jack Daniels wing sauce It's The Best“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“A great place for food, friends & bands like Pale Horse“

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.“

“Wide and varied selection of handhelds- burgers and sandwiches which come with fries that's golden crisp. Reuben Swiss on rye. Wonderfully melted cheese and succulent thin shaved brisket beef. Seated ahi tuna on arugula with sauce on the side was a bit plain.“

“Westayed at the Holiday Inn before our cruise and liked the convenience of an on-site bar/restaurant. We were greeted by the friendly hostess. The restaurant had great modern vibe with good music & decor. The service was on point and our food & drinks were really good! Portions were generous & prices were reasonable especially for an airport near New York. We ordered the calamari to share which was my husband's favorite. Then he ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and I ordered the Mediterranean salad added falafel & house made blue cheese dressing & they also brought the vinaigrette which I am glad they did as it really made the dish. We enjoyed all of it! Would highly recommend this place!“

“food is decent
service a bit slow bc the bartender is busy at the bar so tables in dining room fall to a lower priority. makes sense though because they're not that busy.

it doesn't have the dive bar vibe it had before...“

“Wonderful atmosphere and food.“

“Fun Place to grab drinks and a quick bite!“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“As always it was a great evening if amazing food and hospitality by all of the staff. The live band was amazing. A perfect evening to sit outside and relax with my family and celebrate Angela's birthday!“

“Good food. Very slow service. Need to get the TVs to work or at least hire staff that are able to change the channels on them.“

“The food was and always is Delicious never a disappointment and great service. Our waiter was awesome he interacted with our family.“

“This establishment offers an interesting combination of American and Chinese food choices. They have a liquor license and bar seating.

We came seeking Chinese takeout, which exceeded our expectations. They offer combo platters, which would be perfect for lunch. Their egg rolls and fried rice are both excellent rivaling what I remember growing up in Queens. We tried the sesame chicken, which was good, featuring all white meat. Their eggplant in garlic sauce was fantastic, as was the egg foo young.

The restaurant was quite large and very clean. They had adequate seating and can accommodate large parties. The staff was friendly and the service efficient. The takeout was packaged extremely well.

We have found our new local Chinese restaurant and will be returning. Highly recommend.“

“Muy buen citio y trankilo y las niñas son muy amables les recomiendo y la misica es la mejor de Elizabeth en morris ave“

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Clean establishment, easy to fine, well lite sports bar/restaurant. It's more of a burger joint, meeting friends type place. Good pricing, good value. Friendly staff and nice owner. The best value is the prime rib dinner night. Get there early for when ribs are gone. It's over til next week.“

“buen ambiente rica comida“

“el mejor ambiente! excelente atención y excelentes precios 😜“

“Great local spot for drinks and food, with tons of TVs and all the sports, plus a cool little outdoor seating area. Has its own parking lot too. The food was pretty great, we had a small bar pie that had good flavor and crunch, and the disco fries were awesome. They're curly fries, which is great. Good service too, basic tap list but the domestics are $3 all day every day?? Sign me up. Live music on Fridays too, would definitely go back.“

“A couple of weeks ago I had a great filet mignon with shrimp scampi. The other night the chicken piccata was amazing. Burgers consistently good.“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“Stopped in on a road trip - and wow! Highly recommend. Excellent food and service. And the Halloween decorations are unparalleled.“

“Kinda boring home in the wall bar. You could tell that the patrons you see there are always there. Bartender was really sweet. She was very attentive and relatable. Id never buy food there because it looks like the oil was there from previous business (bar was taken over and renamed at some point)“

“Excellent food and service!!“

“This family owned bar/restaurant has a welcoming authentic atmosphere. The customer service is exceptional. Dan was very friendly and attentive. The food is phenomenal, best steak in town. The original lomo saltato is to die for. Deff will be back.“

“Good place for a complete meal at a fair price. Brazilian restaurant located in Newark - NJ, with good structure, good service and pleasant space. The menu is quite diverse and can please different audiences, the portions are large and serve one person very well. Every day of the week there is a meal option at a more affordable price, it's worth checking out.“

“Great music, great vibe, great people! Visited while in New Jersey for my birthday weekend. Ronnie, the lady tending the bar welcomed us like we were regulars. There was no drama of any kind, just people having a good time on a Friday night!
The kitchen was closed but we ordered food through DoorDash…
Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area!“

“A staple in the North of Newark. Definitely a locals spot with a ever growing clientele. this spot looks small in the front but it has a banquet hall, pool table and bar area. If you go by, say "hi" to Cheito (the owner). Tell him "Nani" sent you ;)“

“🔥 54 Main Bar & Grille is the spot! 🔥 From juicy smashed burgers to fully loaded nachos, every bite hits different. 🍔🤤 The vibe? A perfect mix of lively and laid-back—whether you're out with friends or just unwinding. 🍻✨ Service was on point, drinks were flowing, and the energy was just right. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out! Who’s down for a trip back? 👀🙌 #FoodieFind #GoodVibesOnly“

“Gente muy amable recomiendo“

“I used to go to this spot on Bloomfield Ave a few years back, but one of the owners (Tommy, i seem to remember) would get a little too animated and become obnoxious towards the customers.

I figured I'd give it another chance and drop by to check it out. It was much more chill. The food was standard bar food, and the beers were relatively inexpensive. The girls behind the bar were cute and attentive. They have a DJ on the weekends, and he plays the classics from back in the day.

Overall, it was a much better experience for me, at least.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Waves of Wine for a quick drink and loved the chill vibes. The atmosphere was super relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a glass of wine and good company. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This restaurant is a culinary treasure. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth, and that hospitality extended throughout the entire meal. The menu was a culinary journey that showcased the chef's expertise and passion for gastronomy. Each dish was a masterpiece, and the wine selection complemented the flavors perfectly. I left feeling not just satisfied, but truly inspired by the exceptional dining experience.“

“I come here a lot when I’m in the area, and it’s always the same staff working hard every day. The food is very good and reliable, although it’s a little on the pricy end for a casual evening. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: It isn’t entirely suitable for vegetarians“

“I have been going there for over 27 years. Great place!“

“Best of Newark, best drinks, best vibe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🍾🍾🍾🍾🔊🔊🔊“

“If you want to taste a bit of Brazil, go to Caipirinha’s.They make real good drinks and always have a different thing to do each day, wich fluctuates in between a dj, an artist performance or maybe even a karaoke night! No doubt is a good spot to have in Newark city New “

“I’ve been going to W’s for years now. The burgers and wings are off the hook good. The waitress can’t do enough for you. Great restaurant to take the family to eat and also a friendly bar to watch sports. Very reasonable priced. You definitely won’t go hungry or thirsty at W’s. Well worth trying out. Your first time will not be your last.“

“me gusta el ambiente d alli y la atención k brindan muy buena y esa música uuff las mejores mezclas 🍾🥂😘“

“If you want to wind down from a crazy day and enjoy good eats and libations, this is the place to be! Anyone can come here and feel welcomed, and don't forget to order their famous MAC AND CHEESE!!“
