50 Best Bars near Dumont

“Such a great local gem! We visited QB's for the 1st time on week 2 of football after seeing them listed in our local paper writeup on the top sports bars in North Jersey. It was a fantastic experience from the initial contact via DM to reserve an outdoor table which they gladly accommodated my party of 3 despite a minimum of 5. The service staff were all friendly, attentive and very personable. Their football menu was extensive as well as their drink specials. The owner Mike went around to every table ensuring everyone was enjoying themselves, introduced himself to us, gave out free raffle tickets for a giveaway and even handed each of us a complimentary beer coozie. I told him we will be returning in 2 weeks after visiting Metlife for the home opener and he was more than happy to invite us back to make a reservation.“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“Great food nice menu choices! Delicious bread rolls. Great choices of everything drinks food dessert and liquor and non alcoholic drinks.“

“Always one of places to hit when I am back in North Jersey“

“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.“

“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!“

“I stopped by on a Friday to see what the Happy Hour was about and let me just say you definitely get your bang for your buck happy hour was great appetizers was also good had chicken quesadilla lemon pepper wings and hamburger with fries and it all hit definitely recommend for a great happy hour spot“

“💥💥💥💥💥 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!“

“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!!“

“I pass this place everyday and decided to give it a go for my birthday. And I’m glad I did. The atmosphere is amazing. The food amazing (wish I took a pic). Live Dj playing some ‘90 and early ‘00s musics. Our waitress was very attentive. This place is a whole vibe and can’t wait to go back.“

“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 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.“

“There’s something special about Blackbird.

The Guinness pours slow and perfect, the wings come out hot and full of flavor, and the burgers hit exactly the way they should. And Wednesdays are strictly bangers only on karaoke night.“

“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. 😊“

“#AmazingBar #BroadwayDive 🥰“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and it truly feels like my second home. The staff are amazing! They are always so welcoming and down to earth. The vibe is unmatched, and the food is always fresh and delicious (the shrimp tacos are my favorite!). Great drinks, great people, and an energy that keeps you coming back! The events and DJs they host are always on point too. Couldn’t recommend this place more!“

“This is absolutely my cheers! I wasn’t a coffee drinker until I started coming here. Honey Latte or Lucille’s Latte all day. Food is so good. I’ve tried a few brunch and dinner dishes and haven’t had anything I disliked. So happy this is in the neighborhood“

“Great place to visit for a quick snack and a drink after a long day at work. A lively bar with special events happening every week like the trivia nights on Wednesdays, offering fun experiences to you and your friends. Their happy hour drinks are also really worth it too.“

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

“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.“

“Ottime birre. Proprietario/staff molto gentili. Prezzo in linea con Manhattan. 👍“

“Came with 5 people including myself and the room was extremely spacious. They have English and Japanese songs too if you don't know Korean songs (so no one is left out). They also have a phone in the room where you can place orders and they bring everything in a timely manner.“

“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!“

“great local spot love it here“

“All of the above, great place for sure!!“

“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“

“Great service! You wouldn’t know they were short staffed.“

“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“

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

“great food! friendly staff. cool atmosphere“

“Went there for the first time with my daughter and the service was excellent to bad I didn't get the bartender name she was excellent the food we ordered was so good and the craft beer selection was top notch in my opinion enjoy the ipa beer's I had definitely will be going back again 😎👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻“

“Came here on a whim during happy hour, and so glad I did. The decor in this cozy bar is amazing with couches and a fireplace in the back, giving an old Irish bar feel with a modern twist, which I loved. The bartenders were amazing, drinks were balanced and very well made and affordable at only $8 for select cocktails and even less for bar snacks.

The music gave throwback vibes which created a more intimate experience for couples who are looking to come here.

Head's up, although the food is air fried, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it wasn't told to me by the bartender, it was so good! I ordered waffle fries and the Philly egg-roll which was so delicious and crispy. Service was great and bartenders were friendly even though we came on a busy night. Great experience 10/10.“

“The beer and artisanal cocktails are amazing, along with the shrimp tacos!!! The vibe is downtown trendy and old school posh LES, but in Columbia land. 👍🏼“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“Had lunch yesterday, absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Raven explained daily lunch 2-course specials and drink discount. This sweetened the deal. I’m telling everyone I know about Shannon Rose. Definitely coming back every chance I get!“

“Caught up with a friend for drinks and dinner...the place is quaint, with a great, lively vibe. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Linda, one of the bartenders. She was absolutely a joy, smiling and chatting while she served us up our drinks, then meticulously prepared the dipping oil for our warm bread. After taking our order, Linda served us two very large portions. I had a pasta dish with rigatoni that was made fresh that day. (The bar is connected to an Italian restaurant, which is a separate business, but they work seamlessly to provide customers in both establishments a terrific dining experience. The live music was fabulous, with a great mix of classic hits performed by very talented musicians. We opted not to get dessert and left with our bellies full and our hearts content. Parking was a little bit of a challenge with it being a Saturday night, but Linda informed us to use the VFW parking lot the next time around. Can't wait to check out Karaoke night on Wednesdays. I was having so much fun that I forgot to take photos.“

“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!“

“The soy fried chicken and sweet/spicy chicken is so good! We got the regular tteokbokki and I like it better than a lot of the bunsik places on Broad Avenue! The service was a little off tbh, but the vibes and food were great! The liquor store is connected so you can buy your alcohol from the liquor store, no extra charge.“
