50 Best Bars near Cresskill

“Always a great time!!! It's my first stop after work to enjoy a nice cold one. Friendly, cool and clean♡“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“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.“

“Birthday celebration for a friend and 13 others . Will be back again. Customer service outstanding. Atmosphere great. Had a wonderful time.“

“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!“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“As soon as I walk in, I got automatically seated at the bar by the host and Megan, my bartender gave me the menu (dinner and happy hour) with her warming customer service hospitality.

The interior of the bar is so dope with the neon light with television for sports. They also have a DJ booth for music. I will recommend people to check this place and enjoy their time in the scenery!“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“this place is amazing, bar is great and the karaoke is even better. Staff is super kind and understanding, they brought us popcorn and gave us extra time without asking, i highly recommend this place if you want to have a good time with friends. 5 stars.“

“great local spot love it here“

“It’s such a vibe here! Their happy hour is fire and super affordable. The food is good. And their beef empanadas are a 10/10. The slider and fries were a much bigger portion than I thought it would be so that’s another plus. For a Sunday, I didn’t expect a dj and great music but here they had both!“

“did the work, bought the shirt! awesome space!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“so great! the french fries are amazing and it’s so calming and welcoming. all the food looks so delicious, and the ginger beer is to dieeee for! 😉😍😍😊 if you’re in the harlem area, it’s a must try, and you cannot skip.“

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

“The Hamilton is a cozy, warm, bar with an excellent selection of whiskeys. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you find the perfect cocktail for your tastes. Joe, one of the bartenders, also host a a rotating exhibition of different artists about once a month. You can get a perfect Manhattan and a piece of artwork for your livingroom. 😊“

“Had a lovely breakfast indoors with our dear friends. We selected this restaurant because their is ample space between tables which is a rarity These days at the majority of the restaurants in New York City. Finally, what made our brunch very pleasant was the wonderful service we received from our waiter Nahid . Thank you Nahid. We look forward to returning soon.“

“Leanne, is an exceptional server and always brings a big smile to the table, great Food, and atmosphere. Fun and friendly place.“

“We hosted our company dinner party here with some clients from Spain, and they absolutely loved the place. The food was fabulous, and the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Our clients left feeling like they had experienced a little piece of Spain right here in Harlem. Cheers guys, keep it up!“

“#AmazingBar #BroadwayDive 🥰“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Amazing place! We love the atmosphere, food and drinks!!“

“Lucille’s is already known for the jazz, incredible cocktails and seriously good food… but can we talk about the COFFEE?! Easily one of the best I’ve had — not just in Harlem, but in NYC. So, so good.“

“My wife and I stop by from time to time whenever we're in the mood for a drink. It's always lively, busy, and full of energy.

With multiple TVs throughout the bar, it's a great place to watch sports, and they occasionally host special events as well. We also appreciated the daily food and drink specials, which offer good value and variety depending on the day of the week.

The food is generally good, and the overall atmosphere makes it an enjoyable spot to grab some drinks and have a fun night out. If you're looking for a lively bar with a great vibe, this is definitely worth checking out“

“This place is soooo much fun weather you're going for lunch with coworkers or partying on a Friday night! It's great for friends, couples, parties, events. The food is delicious without breaking the bank and the staff is beyond courteous and helpful. 5 star, absolutely recommend!“

“Amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a little slice of Puerto Rico! The flavors are authentic, and every bite takes me right back to my island. The owners have poured so much love into the new location, beautifully painting different stories that showcase the rich history of Puerto Rico. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment is evident in every detail. I also deeply respect how involved they are with the community—it’s inspiring to see a business so committed to making a positive impact. Highly recommend!“

“Blouse an Skirt is a refreshing tropical cocktail made with Ciroc Pine-apple Vodka, passion fruit, a splash of fresh lime juice, and a touch of simple syrup. Smooth, fruity, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy, it's a vibrant island-inspired drink that's easy to enjoy and packed with tropical flavor. Its a must have!!!! Bartender send another one lol“

“In one sentence, Rough Draft is truly a “place to come in from the cold”. This place makes me want to write a book.

Easily some of the coziest and warmest vibes and aesthetics I’ve see in a bar in a long, long time. Very reasonable prices (plus a nice happy hour) and it really feels so classy and chic, yet not without heart and character. It’s a beautiful space with grand wall-length windows that look particularly whimsical with the bit of snow and frost left over from last night. The Christmas decorations in particular are very lovely. It’s in a beautiful part of the neighborhood, too! I love to see Hamilton Place growing like this.

The cask ale is such a fun touch, too - and they’ve got a very intentional and strong selection of draft beers, whiskeys, bourbons, and more. Great service and chill staff.

All in all, I think this makes a strong case to be one of my favorite bars in the city. I’ve only taken a few sips of my beer and felt compelled to write this. I only hope this place thrives like it deserves to as a member of the outstanding Uptown Bar community!“

“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“
