50 Best Cocktail Bars near East Rutherford

“Outstanding food, service, atmosphere! Definately a place to have a great night!“

“Came here with a group of friends and had a really good hot pot meal.

The seasonal golden broth was the standout for me. It had a light pickled pepper flavor with a chicken broth base and wasn’t too spicy. The classic original broth was also flavorful and much better than a plain clear soup.

We ordered a mix of beef, lamb, shrimp paste, tripe, and other meats. Everything was fresh and the portions were generous.

We also had plenty of vegetables and noodles, including Chinese yam, pumpkin, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, napa cabbage, and wide noodles. The pumpkin was especially good in the broth.

The restaurant feels spacious and polished, and it works really well for groups. Portions are generous, ingredients are fresh, and it’s easy to leave very full.“

“When my vehicle broke down and had no money left after getting a hotel room, I was unable to afford food and gas and this place gave me free meals and some money for gas and was very kind.“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“Sat at the bar. Very fair happy hour prices. Dinner was wonderful. The trout with Marcona almonds was the stand out. Desserts were incredible. Our bartender, Alejandro, was so knowledgeable and fun. Went upstairs to the roof top bar after for a nightcap which was equally delightful.“

“We stumbled across the Gem that is The Rum House on our visit to NY 6 years ago… probably the best Old fashioned we have tasted . Great atmosphere , decor and music and on a cold cold night it was fab ❤️“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Not easy to find. You have to enter a building lobby (no signs) and find it inside. The food was excellent, as was the service. We had a large group and it was served family style. Lost one star for noise. The place is very busy and sound reverberates off all the hard surfaces.“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.“

“Really good coffee and salmon on rye bread 👌“

“A Vegetarian Gem in Koreatown!

Seoul Food Shop in Koreatown, New York, is a wonderful find—especially for a pure vegetarian like me. It's not often that I find a place with good vegetarian options, but this spot truly delivered.

I ordered the vegetable dumplings with garlic tofu, and they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. For just $15, the taste was amazing—honestly some of the best food I've had in this area.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. It's a great spot to grab a bite while exploring Koreatown, and the location makes it easy to fit into a day of sightseeing in the city.

As a vegetarian, finding a place that offers such tasty options at a reasonable price is a real treat. I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone—vegetarian or not.

Great food, great value, and a great experience.“

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“Amazing unique cocktails. Highly recommended.“

“Had an amazing dinner at Junoon! The atmosphere is elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly and knew the menu well. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Loved the creative desserts too. Definitely a top spot for Indian fine dining in NYC!“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“Tikki Chicks on Amsterdam is a great spot! The food is delicious, the flavors are on point, and the service makes the experience even better. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Keep up the great work! 🔥👏“

“Great drink and great vibe“

“Great atmosphere!! Food was amazing!!! Niamh was fantastic so friendly and helpful! The best espresso martinis EVER!!!!“

“I hosted an event at Bee's Knees & Honey Lounge two weekends ago and it was awesome! The owner was very friendly, professional and accomodating. I most liked the cozy ambience and the floral walls in the Honey Lounge, it is unique. The space was more than big enough and the service that both bartenders provided was stellar. Lastly the food was pretty tasty. My guests were impressed especially with the brussel sprouts appetizer. Will definitely return!“

“As a massive tiki enthusiast, I've tried all the rum bars in the city, and Sunken Harbor is the winner. The decor is immersive without feeling cheesy, and the bartenders take their craft seriously. I ordered the Zombie and watching the bartender prep the fire and garnishes was a show in itself. The crispy oysters were a great savory balance to the sweet drinks. Just a heads up: you must book ahead for weekends, and remember it's down a flight of stairs so not accessible for wheelchairs. Can't wait to go back!“

“Phenomenal. Its more of a gastro pub, definitely not traditional Korean. Plates are tiny and portions are tapa-sized, but we ordered eight items to share and were full in the end. Corn dumplings were outstanding: the corn was completely mashed and they tasted like soft fluffy pillows with an incredible sauce made of cilantro, basil and mint. Scallops, galbi meatball skewer and waguy spring rolls were amazing. Noodles was the only dish in our order that was underwhelming. Loved their adult capri drinks in a bag. :) but the best last of the experience was the service. We asked for a table outside, which they didn't have, so we were seated by an open window instead, but within 5 minutes, they came and said they had a table outside for us. Everyone was so friendly, warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back to try all the other menu options we didn't get to try.“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“If it ain’t broke, don’t tell me what time it is. Because I’m probably late for work. Wait, I don’t work and use daddy’s money. Nice drinks“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great drinks, tapas & vibe!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Haswell Green’s. Fun drinks, great service …will absolutely be back for happy hour!“

“The food & service were great! Will definitely return.“

“My husband and I celebrated our wedding here in October and were absolutely thrilled with the every aspect of the experience. We worked with Brittany to plan the event, and she was brilliant. She worked out every detail for us and we could tell we were in good hands every step of the way. The staff, from the head of operations to the managers to the bartenders, servers, and porters were fantastic. Throwing a wedding reception is stressful no matter what, but we didn’t need to think about anything but enjoying the evening with our guests — everything else was taken care of and executed perfectly. The staff made our guests feel welcomed and took incredible care of us. We can’t recommend throwing an event at Rosevale enough!!“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“
