50 Best Beer Bars near East Rutherford

“Great ambience, excellent service and delicious soulful food. I had an amazing experience 👍🏼“

“I went to Everdene Bar with friends on a late summer evening and loved it. The hostess, Guialem, greeted us with a big smile, and our waiter Dawn took great care of us. The cocktails were excellent. I especially enjoyed the vodka gimlet and a strawberry drink(I can’t remember the name). The terrace was amazing for the weather. My only feedback is I prefer adding the tip myself instead of having it included as a service fee. Overall, a great spot to enjoy with friends!“

“Would have rated the food but kitchen was closed. Shares space with the mushroom restaurant next door so ther can be the option of getting food from there and having it delivered to the bar m, but it depends on foot traffic. On the other hand, it’s probably easier to go to the restaurant next door and order beers from the bar here because it’s less of an overall stress on the staff. The beer list here is thoughtful and there are some very meat bottles on the bottle list. This spot deserves a place on any list of significant beer bars in Manhattan.“

“New York-35th Amazing staff! Mia C was on top of everything. She was thoughtful and fast. She was excited for my son who was turning 10. So much food and make sure you get a shake.“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“Everything was perfection. We took out of town friends to this restaurant we like and it didn't disappoint. The service was attentive but never intrusive. Everything we ate was delicious. In particular I couldn't believe that okra could be so amazing. The sommelier gave us excellent advice to select two bottles of interesting wines.“

“Great selection of canned beer and cool ciders. Taps are limited but fresh.“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“Very good craft + Carry location. You know what you’re getting, local beer, cold, clean taps.

The selection was decent, most 10-14oz pours are $8-$11

The glasses are clean, that wouldn’t seem like a big thing but unfortunately it’s.

The location is very clean, the staff was chill.“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“Posting this in direct response to the last reviewer, George Hernandez. This is a family bar that is beloved in the neighborhood and has some of the best craft beer you’re gonna find. Craft beer that costs a fair amount of money for them to bring in. Giving you a sample of however many beers you want to try because you might have a beer you dislike costs them money for no other reason than you are afraid of drinking beer apparently. I don’t know what you do for a living but start doing ten percent of it for free, lmk how much you enjoy that.“

“We walked in, there were no tables in the restaurant but we were given a table in the bar area (which was completely fine and we appreciated it!).

It was very busy but the staff were amazing. They gave us recommendations on meals and also made drinks that weren’t on the menu.

We had the burger which was very nice and the fries were amazing.

The crispy potatoes and shishitos and also crispy prawns. Everything was amazing.

Would definitely recommend“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“Everything was incredible. Best burger, great service!“

“loved the guac here, seemed so fresh, and it comes with plaintains too“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“Espectacular, la vista, la atención y los cócteles. Todo es perfecto“

“This cozy, dog-friendly neighborhood bar has a great vibe and an ever-changing lineup of exciting, new beers that will keep you coming back. Includes comfortable outdoor seating and an inviting atmosphere among familiar, friendly faces. The service here is excellent, and the beers are always new and exciting. Don't miss their connected sister bar Twist!“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“Stopped in for a beer our first night in NYC. Staff were really helpful and made great suggestions on craft beers to try. Small spot, may take a minute to get a seat/table but worth it. Recommend trying their flight as well as any of the crafts that they recommend 💕“

“One of the best atmosphere I have ever been to and I highly recommend this place the service was terrific, the food was fantastic, the drinks were my favorite part ! If you haven’t checked this place out now it’s your time and you will not be disappointed at all . I also highly recommend dean !“

“Oscar was an amazing waiter! He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything we needed was taken care of without us ever having to ask. His service was fast, professional, and he had such a warm attitude that really made our experience even better. Definitely one of the best waiters we’ve had — thank you, Oscar!“

“We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.“

“Gooood toooo beee there“

“This is hands-down my favorite wine bar in the city. The vibe is always spot-on and the staff is super friendly. I went for brunch this morning and it was the perfect start to the day. The wagyu sliders were juicy and flavorful, and the shakshuka had just the right kick. Everything hit the spot. Much more than your neighborhood wine bar!“

“The drinks were not only super tasty but also really cute – definitely IG worthy. Each cocktail had its own little flair, from creative garnishes to fun glassware, and you could tell care went into every detail. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar if you visit!“

“Hands down my favorite bar — this place is everything you want in a great local spot. The bartenders are amazing: friendly, knowledgeable, and always quick with a great recommendation or an Underberg when you need it most. The owners are just as awesome, creating a space that feels genuinely welcoming and rooted in the local community.

The beer selection is top-tier, with a thoughtful mix of local brews, seasonal rotations, and always a few unexpected gems on tap. And if you're headed home or to a hangout, the take-out beer options are super convenient and just as carefully curated.

Whether you're a regular or just stopping by, you’ll always get a warm vibe and top-notch service. It’s the kind of place that makes you proud to be a local“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“I loved this hotel! I visited in September with a friend and loved every detail. Great staff, outdoor patio, rooftop bar, coffee shop, and location. Highly recommend.“

“Phenomenal IPA’s, sours, and seltzers! This was my second time here and their menu just keeps expanding more and more. I felt like they had more options in person than what was listed online. Phenomenal vibe, good people, and good beer. I will return and recommend it!“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“Great atmosphere and service. And the truffle fries were terrific!“

“The Crown offers delicious small plates and cocktails, with great views in one of the most mellow and relaxing settings you'll ever find. They have two outdoor rooftop seating areas and an indoor seating, which are all large and spacious. The employees were very courteous and friendly, and were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu items. They offer a great happy hour deal Tuesdays to Fridays from 4 to 6, with drinks specials and half off select menu items.“

“Sunday night bartender was incredible. It was pretty quiet inside so they were able to walk us through beers they thought we might like; I definitely have some new favorites! The bar itself was great; Grown up punk-rock vibe with a projection movie on the wall. Prices were very reasonable and the soft pretzel gave me life.

There isn't a big sign outside so look for the glass door with a black antler handle!“

“Every dish at 87 Sussex was a savory journey. From delicate Escargot Wontons and Ox & Eggs to the bold Hoppin Poppers Frog Legs and sweet Barnegat Scallops—Chef Brian has redefined luxury dining.

The Braised Short Rib melted in my mouth while the Prime New York Strip and Chef's Special brought a rich, savory finish. And for dessert? Chocolate Turtle Cake, Passion Fruit Trifle, and the refreshing Sorbet & Berries.“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“Fun atmosphere and fantastic people on both sides of the bar!“

“Great Food, Great Drinks, and a very nice friendly atmosphere.“
