50 Best Bars near Hillsdale

“We hit this place last night on a whim on the way home from a gig…Megan the bartender was lovely! Funny, witty, and adorable! She made us a bar pie and was very diligent about getting it just right! This place is great and we made friends with a couple of cool fellas who are regulars there. My boyfriend ended up in a conversation about guitars. We came from lands far away so this was just a whim but we will definitely be back! This place is old school cool with great service! Thank you for making us feel welcome!“

“Osso Bico is one of our favorite restaurants. Owner, Randy, and bartender Ray make us feel like family when we come in. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious and the service is the best. Osso Buco is one of the best Italian restaurants in northern Jersey. And that is saying something“

Thank you a million times over 11/10“

There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Let me start with parking. Found a spot at the entrance. No meters! Immediately seated and ordered a Cuban and ribs. Just the right amount of meat and pickle. Ribs fell off the bone. BUT PLEASE lets talj about the beer, after all, this is an ale house with 16 selections: I drank one, then sampled 3 and selected amongst those.
The staff is small but well oiled. This is FIFA (SPAIN VS AUSTRIA). More and more guests are arriving - the bar is almost full yet service moves.
Found on Google and took a chance and lucky us.
Kudos to staff, service, good food and sports. Great choice for us today.“

“To say Liffy Bar II is a hidden gem is an understatement. For my Birthday I wanted a cute local bar to celebrate with friends and enjoy the evening. Kirby was excellent at communicating with me and kept me informed which was incredibly convenient. Dierdre was so pleasant to speak with and answered any questions I had, and Joe was an amazing Bartender and kept everyone happy. Cheers to a great staff. I cannot recommend this place more. Thank you for the great service, setting, and making the evening smooth!“

“On December 12th my law office had their holiday luncheon at this wonderful restaurant. I also ordered a tray of meat lasagna for Christmas. If you have never had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant, I suggest you run - do not pass go - and get your butt there and eat the most delicous food on this planet. The chef created the meat lasagna - a simple dish - and elevated to something that just melts in your mouth with deliciousness. LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant!!“

“Love the place, food, environment, staff etc. Victor and Evan do a great job keeping GRI an inviting (and growing) restaurant with that small mom pop family feel. Throughout the years I have had many events and parties here including my businesses annual Christmas party. A lot of places you do not get to meet the owner of the family business. Evan and Victor are always checking up on guests, on the floor, delivering food, chatting it up, and being a part of the dining experience.“

“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“

“We've been here several times, and there's a reason we keep coming back. The hosts and staff always remember us and make us feel genuinely welcome, and the food and service have been consistently excellent. We always leave looking forward to our next visit.“

“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 ?“

“Hubby and I decided to stop in to watch the Knicks Game 3, and we’re so glad we discovered this local gem. The atmosphere was friendly, the food was great, and we instantly felt comfortable. It has that “everyone knows everyone” vibe—almost like a real‑life Cheers. We’ll definitely be back for Game 5 on Saturday. GO KNICKS!!“

“Usually leave this place stuff. Great food. What else could you want.“

“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!!“

“Trays of wraps made for cardiac service at GSH. Best grilled chicken wrap ever!! My friends and family frequently eat at the diner. Everything is fresh and delicious 😋“

“Love this place, it’s where everyone knows your name“

“This place is outstanding. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Food is crazy good. For a game night the energy is palpable. As a Southerner that works for a NJ company, the 101 Pub represents everything great about the area - the local feel, the strong drinks, the vocal opinions about the sports teams. Not to be missed.“

“This place is super safe especially with Outdoor dining and super super better than Mamasushi!“

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