About The Straphanger Saloon

The Straphanger Saloon is a popular dive bar in the Hackensack area, known for its great food and drinks. The menu features a 32oz bucket of Hurricane and chicken parm sliders, among other options. While the bartenders can be slow to approach and take orders, especially during busy times, the drinks are often made well. The bar is praised for its pool table, dark atmosphere, and overall vibe, which gives off a cozy, old-school bar feel similar to Cheers. FOOTBALL SUNDAY is a favorite day for many, with craft beer and a super easy-going staff. Wings are big, juicy, and well cooked, with buffalo and jerk wings being popular choices. The place can get busy, and service at tables might be slow, with plates and napkins needing to be requested. However, bartenders are friendly and do check in on customers, and many appreciate sitting at the bar for better service. The outdoor area adds a cool touch to the spot, though parking can be challenging during the day, requiring a parking meter, and even after 6pm, finding a spot can be difficult. Overall, The Straphanger Saloon is a fun place with great food and drinks, perfect for a relaxed night out.
