“An awesome family run business with excellent staff!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“Grate Sunday afternoon with Ice Petal playing The Dead. The food was amazing. Great vibe.“

“Great Music, people and food!“

“Muy buen lugar buena atención“

“Was on our way to another bar, "late" last night (not even Midnight) after having been turned aside by the Marriott but then drove by Andy's Corner and immediately pulled a U-ey.This place is a gem. The bartender is swell and the vibe is laid-back friendly.You might think "Dive Bar" (in the best possible way) when walking up to the front door, but what you get when you open the door is a Classy Establishment.To the backyard party-goers of Bergen County--- leave your block, for the love of Mike, and patronize this place. It's in your neighborhood, after all!!“

“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?“

“This has quickly become my new favorite spot. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. The bar has an awesome partnership with the Smoke Shack BBQ across the street, making it even better. The vibe is laid-back, and they offer a great selection of craft beers, wines, and a wide variety of whiskeys and tequilas. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good drink.“

“If you’re in Wanaque, Flips is the dive bar you need to check out. Tucked off Ringwood Ave, it’s got cold beers, fast, friendly bartenders, and Joe, the owner, is simply the man.

The vibe is classic dive—dim lights, jukebox, and regulars who make you feel like family. But the food? That’s where Flips stands out. Chef Robert takes dive bar staples to the next level crispy calamari, gourmet burgers, and a sizzler steak that could rival any fine dining spot. All made with locally sourced ingredients and a chef’s touch.

The daily specials hit the mark, and the Bloody Marys are on point. If you’re looking for a dive bar with heart and flavor, Flips is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!“

“If you’re smart and want to have fun for cheap I suggest and highly recommend coming here. Great place to come here if you want chill vibes with great prices. Drinks are cheap and the people there are welcoming. Music is up to date and also can be old school r&b! Also if you’re looking for aesthetic this place never fails to represent.“

“The Sidedoor is under new ownership, and I’ve already seen some really positive changes! It’s in a great spot, and they’ve started adding food and making little updates that make a big difference. The vibe is super inviting! It’s definitely a place where anyone can feel welcome.

If you’re into beer, pool, darts, shuffleboard, and just a good time in general, this is the place to check out. Excited to see what’s coming next for The Sidedoor!“

“The best atmosphere to unwind and have fun...“

“Great local Irish Pub. Good food and service. Will be coming back“

“Wonderful place, great Dive bar, could not be more friendly. We were from out of town, stumbled in, and Cindy, the owner, was so great and welcoming 🙏. We might be going back tomorrow for St Patrick's Day. You won't be disappointed.“

“Тне best local craft beer place. Always perfect beer selection“

“Nice spot to drop in for a drink. Friendly, attentive bartender, some nice selections with gentle prices. Nice little local bar, enjoyed stopping in with a friend for a drink.
Be aware though, apparently they only serve food on certain days.“

“Just moved here from Hawai'i and I was so excited to live right next to this bar.

Ambience: An intimate space with a pool table, darts, and a great DJ playing the slaps! Great place to watch NFL games for sure!
Service: The female bartender was so nice and attentive. She even gave us free shots before we left, and I will absolutely be back because of that!
Drinks: We ordered a screwdiver and a whiskey sour, which were super strong but still drinkable. I also ordered kamikaze shots, which were very yummy!

We will definitely be back to this spot whenever we can, and I recommend you check it out too!“

“it was a gorgeous day and we were at Brookdale Dog Park. We looked up dog friendly restaurants. What a great place the food was awesome, the beers were cold and the service was excellent. The prices were so reasonable which is rare in Montclair! and they were so dog friendly! it was our first time there but not the last!“

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..“
