50 Best Bars near Englewood

“So glad I didn’t let the 4.2 star rating deter me from checking Blue Akai in Englewood out. I’ve been here 3 times this month, brought others with me and all enjoyed. I love the concept, half Mexican half Japanese where you can order from both menus regardless of which side you’re seated in. Love that they have “not raw” sushi options on the Japanese menu and the chicken empanadas on the Mexican menu had a unique, creamy filling that was delicious! Complimentary chips and salsa, great service, full bar and tvs to catch the games, so on & so forth. I have no complaints!“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

Stopped in for Brunch on Sunday morning. Relaxed environment and pace of the meal, but temperature was a bit stuffy and warm.

“DDOBAR is the definition of a hidden gem! Tucked away inside Olly Olly Market, this concept comes from the talented team behind the Michelin-starred Joomak Banjum. The $55 set menu is an unbelievable steal, offering value that far surpasses the price point. It’s a massive bargain and worth far more than what’s cost. The food quality was superb, with thoughtful seasoning and presentation that truly hit the spot.

Charcoal 🐶 also enjoyed here since olly olly market is dog friendly! We’ll definitely be back for the main chef tasting set“

“Great tap/can/cellar list. Food is solid and staff is great.“

“Obviously we like thaï food as this is the the 3rd place in 3 weeks
Here the food is different not the usual curry dish or sate and oh soooo good.
Loved the 2 shrimp dishes we ordered, the shrimp cake as appetizer was excellent.
Our waitress Siri was friendly, helpful and always smiling.
Do try the lychee martini.“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“My husband and I had the best night at Daniel! Our server Caesar made our anniversary so special with a kitchen tour. Everything was exceptional and Caesar made the night unforgettable!!!“

“A gorgeous little bar and restaurant right by Columbus Circle, with a lively atmosphere and fantastic oysters. The cherry basil limeade was a little herbal for my taste, but the bartender accommodated me with a little grenadine. I wish I was in town longer, because I would absolutely go back again.“

“A must-visit spot especially for Gossip Girl fans with such a fascinating history! We dug into its past and fell in love with it even more. The espresso martinis were incredible, and the atmosphere and staff made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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 💕“

“It was good even we are late we still having a cocktail drinks“

“Cool place for Beer! The food is good! I had the cheese curds for appetizer and steak & eggs 🍳 All if it was very good! 👌🏽“

“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.“

“We stopped here before a show for drinks and appetizers. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices. When in the area, will definitely come back.“

“outstanding restaurant and bar. Everything was on point. Service, food, drinks. Wait staff was perfect. Definitely recommended.“

“Excellent food and service! Not overly crowded and quiet.“

“Great atmosphere. Perfect place to hangout and chat before a show. Best bartenders in town. Sexy BINGO is so much fun!! 😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“food was excellent Raven our server was top rate even though we were there for RW everything and everyone was on top of their game“

“Fun time with friends. Porchlight always makes exceeds expectations. We sat and immediately were greeted by our server. Promptly took our drinks order, our server also recommended drinks that were popular and those drinks did not disappoint. Afterward, we ordered some food, I ordered the chips and salsa, street corn croquettes, and sliders to start. Every single dish was delicious. As the night went along, and it got a little crowded, service lagged a bit. Overall experience was incredible, we will be back soon. Thank you for everything.“

“Come for the trivia stay because it's a really awesome place to be. E's Bar is preeeetttty awesome and quite a good size to be able to have a good time! The drinks are reasonably priced and the Tres Fish Tacos are BOMB. I appreciate the fact that they choose to be a sustainable bar with their LED lighting and purchasing of carbon offsets. It's hard for bars to reduce their environmental impact so any step matters. It always seems like everyone's having a good time here- not trashy at all, just a good neighborhood bar. And they have theme nights too which is fun.“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“This place throws rocks at other bars. Get a Margret in Mexico or four while you wait for your train, you ain’t gonna regret it. We loved being able to hang here while we waited for the not-so-bullet train to take us back to the city of brotherly shove. Loved it.“

“My husband and I are checking off the top 10 East Harlem eateries. The Earls beer and cheese is ranked #5. Their drink and food met lol our high expectations. We had blackberry hard cider and BBQ brisket taco
The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“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“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“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!“

“A bougier twist on a lot of traditional Chinese dishes. The highlight of the meal was the braised pork belly, so melt in your mouth tender. Also don't miss the cucumber salad appetizer, I thought the flavors were unique and refreshing.“

“Harmony our waitress was awesome, this place has the feel like you are in your home town.“
