“Hubby and I decided to stop in to watch the Knicks Game 3, and we’re so glad we discovered this local gem. The atmosphere was friendly, the food was great, and we instantly felt comfortable. It has that “everyone knows everyone” vibe—almost like a real‑life Cheers. We’ll definitely be back for Game 5 on Saturday. GO KNICKS!!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve been to rock 21 a couple times with a few friends and I have to say it’s actually one of the best karaoke spots in Palisades Park. The food is great, and so are the drinks, And honestly, the service was exceptional.“

“Found this place on TickTock and what a find!!! Amazing service, so welcoming and the team gets to know you. Food is delusions , creative in the way they host events . You walk in as a customer , and walk out as family. Highly recommended this place , as I even held my birthday party here. 10/10!!!“

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

Bre and Stephanie took great care of my party… food was good and came out on time, dj/music was excellent and the service from the bartenders/servers was top tier. Will be returning. Thank you so much“

“great local spot love it here“

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

“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. 😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“very cute vibe and super kind waitstaff!! however if you have a bigger body at all, prepare to feel absolutely cramped. upon entering you literally have to squeeze behind everyone seated at the bar. its about a foot of space! then on the other side of the restaurant, the tables are packed so tightly together you will literally be touching legs with the folks next to you. and to make matters worse, theres one long booth for all the tables and its packed full with pillows! so now the pillows are occupying the already tight space to sit. i know restaurants in this city have to make the most of their square footage, but this one felt particularly compacted.“

“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 come to Lucille’s almost everyday (except Mondays). Doesn’t matter if it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, their food and drinks is always amazing, service is also great, the place is beautiful overall, Lucille’s one of those hidden gems in the area. I’d recommend the salmon burger & house salad, breakfast sandwich with sausage, wings, turkey sandwich, chicken sandwich, guava and chicken waffle, shrimp & grits. For drinks the spiced sangria , espresso martini, chai latte, sweet tea are great! They also have a good point system so if you go there often, like me, once in a while you’ll get a free drink.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“My sis and I came here for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised at the happy hour and food specials. $6 espresso martinis and a $12 smash burger lunch special, so for $20 you can have quite a nice little lunch. The servers were great and checked in regularly to make sure we were good. We also appreciated what I think was the manager watching our drinks because at $6 a martini we had to have one more, yes, they were that good. We stood for maybe 2.5 hrs and left so happy with a full belly and new memories created. Definitely a cute little spot for a solo quick bite, a nice little date night that’s more on the casual side, or coming with a group of friends. While we came here for lunch during the week they did have other great food options available and weekend specials if that’s something of interest. The ambiance is sexy and grown and still has a sports bar vibe. It’s warm and inviting as well as cozy with the lighting. They have a fully stocked bar with 2 bars front and back. As mentioned earlier, they have daily and weekend specials for both food and drink. This place is definitely a must try and I will be coming back.“

“This is a lovely spot for a quick bite or a drink! Keep in mind on weekdays their bar is not open until 4pm and so it's only the coffee side. The coffee side is self service, including bussing your own plates. But the place is calm, quiet, friendly, and the chopped salad I ordered with fried chicken was quite tasty. (Would def order that again).“

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

“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.“

“Great food and drinks Great atmosphere. Professional staff.“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“This place is the best. Super welcoming staff. Extremely friendly. Nick is the man and will always make you feel comfortable and welcome. Amanda will always get you right. Great management and has always let us in and even stayed open so we can have a good time. 10/10 love whiskeys. COME HERE AND SHOP YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Great staff and food. Coming back for the evening music too!“

“Been going for 30 years since the Ridgefield Park days. Food never disappoints.“

“Amazing food. Huge Portions. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I live 4 hours away. 😭“

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

“Definitivamente las mejores quesadillas de Tinga al carbón.“

“Ronny was absolutely amazing and made our visit to Chevy’s a great experience from start to finish. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine personality immediately made us feel welcomed. He didn’t just provide great service he made sure we felt comfortable, respected, and truly cared for.
What impressed us the most was the way Ronny treated my mom. He went out of his way to make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. His patience, positive attitude, and thoughtful way of helping made her feel special. My mom left Chevy’s with a big smile and kept talking about how wonderful Ronny was and how much she appreciated the way he treated us.
People like Ronny are what make a place stand out. He brings great energy, kindness, and dedication to his work, and it shows through the way he interacts with customers. He made our experience memorable, and we are truly grateful for the excellent service he provided. Chevy’s is lucky to have someone like Ronny on their team, and we look forward to coming back again because of him. THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH RONNY❤“
