50 Best Bars near Dover

“This is literally the divvy-est bar in all of NJ. Possibly America.I was shocked to find soap in the bathroom tbh. But it was amazing. This place is where dreams are made. This is what Karl Marx and other less aggressive socialists wrote about. This is a place where we can all come together despite your socioeconomics, education, or any other dividing factors and just be. Amazing. I’d give this place 6 out of 5 stars.Also, karaoke every other week.“

“I love my job“

“October feast was great except for the beer lines. Could have done better maybe more then one beer truck or people walking around handing out the beer for tickets. Beer was 6 tickets, should have sold one ticket for beer rather then counting out 6 one dollar tickets. Music was great“

“Buen lugar buena comida buena atención hasta que llega la gentusa con su celular a todo volumen como si a uno le importara sus conversaciones tengan respeto a nadie le importa sus conversaciones“

“Table 42 is a traditional Italian staple and a true gem in Dover. While we will always miss Chuck, we hope the new owner preserves the incredible ambiance and vibe that keeps the regulars coming back! There's simply no other place like it. A huge part of why we return is Mauricio the Chef, who makes the best pasta fagioli, and the wonderful servers like Joannie. We go for that unique feeling as much as for the fantastic food. Table 42 reminded me of Cheers, I truly hope it doesn’t lose its uniqueness.“

“Es un excelente lugar, con un ambiente familiar y una música genial, pero no entiendo la necesidad de exigirle a los clientes un consumo base para poder ubicarse en una mesa , ya que varias veces me ha tocado pararme de la mesa con mi pareja,pedí una cubeta de cerveza para los dos , pero me exigieron comprar dos para poder permanecer en la mesa, soy un cliente habitual y no es razonable esta medida ya que igual estoy consumiendo. Gracias“

“Very cool spot. Interesting, creative menu, really nice array of house cocktails which are also creative. Good energy, good music, and the layout works really well - the bar area has its own vibe and good seating options, from booths to hightops. It's fun!“

“This is literally my fav spot on the planet. The burgers are top notch, the dry rub wings are phenomenal and the service is always with a smile! Keep up the good work, Gwen and crew!“

“This place is truly one of the best parts of Rockaway. I work at the doctor's office up the street from it and we order take out a lot. They serve all the classic bar favorites to perfection! The juicy burgers are fresh and absolutely fantastic...and OMG the cheesesteak is AWESOME!!!!! But what really makes this place standout are the people behind all of it. Bridgett, the owner, is genuinely one of the loveliest and most accommodating people you'll ever meet. She goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome, and you can tell that she puts her heart into the place. She will personally deliver our food to our office every single time because we are so busy. And Myles deserves a huge shout-out. That man can cook a burger like nobody else, and the cheesesteak he puts out is honestly next-level! You can taste the care and skill in every bite of it. It's disappointing to see a few unfair reviews floating around, because they don't reflect the real experience here. Great food, great atmosphere, and truly GREAT people. The Mill deserves all the support in the world!“

“Favorite local bar! The boneless wings are the best!“

“We went to McKenna’s Pub to get drinks and play pool for my daughter’s birthday today. It was really a great experience and I’m so glad we found it!! The bartender Billy was so welcoming and went above and beyond for us. The other guests were also very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful. Even though I lost at pool, McKenna’s Pub will definitely be a go to for us in the future!!“

“What a great and welcoming place Tom & Dor have been getting the formula right coming from decades at Stirling Hotel! Great place, great environment, great food!“

“Had a great time tonight having dinner with a friend of mine. Phenomenal chicken salad grilled with balsamic dressing and also the amazing homemade chili. Great place, awesome service, everything homemade and delicious. Such awesome service, and highly recommend for anyone to come and eat if you’re in Rockaway. Love this place!!!!!! 😀👍“

“Great atmosphere, good food, welcoming staff and terrific entertainment!“

“We had a great time a group of us on a Sunday! John was a really great bartender! And the drinks and food did not disappoint.“

“Thanks to Congress and Trump passing the LEGION Act, I'm now a new Legionaire & looking forward to helping & working with these fine folks! : )“

“A great friends eventThey choose VINE Restaurant in Basking Ridge to cater the food and supply the staff. Event was amazingThe Kellogg club is an old mansion in the heart of Morristown you have to be sponsored to have events hereThey are also a small swim club in the summerYou either join the club yearly and then pay a fee to rent out the facility for the nightOutside catering etc must be provided“

“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor service.“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.

Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

“Great food ! Good selection“

“Good food, great service, cool atmosphere.

We had a few beers, The cauliflower wings, a Burger, and the steak rice bowl.

Everything was pretty good. The rice bowl was a stand out.

Really neat place to eat, right in the middle of a bowling alley. Large selection of beers.“

“Mucho ambiente..excelentes cantantes..“

“I had a surprise birthday party here for my husband and Dave was amazing to work with. He responded to my questions in a timely manner and handled the small details that day so I could enjoy myself with the guests. The food was great and the variety made it fun. The bartenders were attentive , friendly and brought their A-Game. The lake views and outdoor area was just phenomenal! Every single guest had a great time! I couldn't have booked a better place. Thank you BFL - you have a fan for life!“

“We’re not from the area b it we wanted to stop somewhere to watch the 1 o’clock game and Amanda was on it! We were able to sit at the bar with no issues, partake with the local patrons that were already there! The wings, Charley’s chips did not disappoint! Thank you for making us feel welcomed! 😎🙌“

“Our two bartenders Matt and Brielle(hopefully I got this right) were phenomenal! We ended up coming back late at night and they were so busy but took the time to remember us from earlier. Amazing atmosphere and staff! Thanks for the good time!“

“always a friendly welcome“

“Best Open Mic in NJ“

“A Taste of Ireland 😋 does NOT disappoint!“

“One of our favorite local spots. Perfect for outdoor dining during nice summer weather. Their menu has a lot to pick from and everything we’ve gotten has been delicious. Highly recommended.“

“I recently had my daughter’s Bridal shower here and the food, drinks, service and atmosphere were excellent! I would definitely recommend Nom if you are looking to host a private event.“

“I have lived in the area for over 20 years, and I had no idea this spot existed inside the Hanover Marriott—even though it’s been here for 26 years! I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally walked in. The decor and ambiance are fantastic; you can really tell the woodwork and furnishings were crafted in Ireland, shipped over, and reassembled to create a genuinely authentic pub atmosphere.
The service from Michael was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. The food was very good as well, making it an ideal venue for a quiet business lunch. I will definitely be back soon, and I am looking forward to trying it out on the weekend for a date night!“

“This was our favorite restaurant for years when we lived in NJ. We were in area last week (after 15 years). WOW - the menu, the food, the cocktails, the service and effort put into everything is still FABULOUS! Our dinner on Friday was so good, we ate there again on Saturday night. Thank you Dan and your entire team.“

“variety of food and a fun staff.“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“Food is Really Good. Nice Place.“

“Had the best time celebrating my sons 40th birthday. Booked an adult party our server Mack was excellent she kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. The pizza was fantastic and all the staff was friendly.“

“Been here twice and had a great time with both. I mainly sit at the bar tables and they got a great vibe here. Happy hour is always a great value and the mixup of seasonal cocktails means you often have something new to try, pair that with food and your in for a good cozy night out. Highly recommend and Dan and Caitlyn in the bar are fantastic and the whole staff is so attentive and ready to help!“

“They catered our party this weekend and did a fantastic job! Lou is great to work with, the food was delicious and the server was on point! Definitely recommend!“

“A happy accident. Traveling home from the airport my wife and I took the exit looking for some fast food. We took the wrong exit and when turning around we found this place. Wow! The burger I got was delicious and the stuffed arapa was amazing! What a good find!“

“Cozy. Comfort food. Delish!“

“This is obviously one of the tastiest restaurants in the area. Always when I come to this place I am profoundly glad. They always keep their very high level service and the topmost level of dishes they serve. You definitely will enjoy this this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“I'm sorry ? didn't know that you would like me and not my friends but and to be able to to see you all the cleaning products I have to go with is one of the slit in our house ? I have a job for my mom who is going to have a job for her and I have a lot of stuff to do and I don't want to go to a wedding ? I don't want to make her feel comfortable with it her own style and not just her own clothes and she will be on time ⌚ and“

“a few things i had over the years....

i tried these two guacs with a friend and we loved them!

SERRANO MARMALADE
Serrano, Lime & Agave

this one was sweet and spicy but the spicy was not overwhelming. very good!

BLACK CHILI CRUNCH
Confit Black Garlic, Pickled Fresno Chilis, Chili de Arbol Garlic Crunch

this one was my favorite! the italian in me loves garlic lol. just so many flavors is was very good.

we had enough chips to eat all the guacs :) great choices!

chicken taquitos- my favorite! crispy and juicy chicken. they put a mix of green salsa verde and creamy chipotle sauce. has a kick but not bad. i did take off the onion because i didn't want onion. which i didn't know they put it on so i'll say no onion next time.

rice and beans were very flavorful. love the cilantro and cheese on top. nice size too.

chips were very good as well. crispy and not oily. but very salty. i have to be honest. next time i need to ask if they have unsalted chips. sometimes its too much. but over all everything was perfect and staff was very friendly too.“
