50 Best Bar & Grill near Hillside

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“it was perfect my fiance took me the food was great the atmosphere was perfect the staff was great“

“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“We recently hosted a family dinner at Ralph’s Sports Bar. Ralph and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that we were happy. My family thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. My aunt said the chicken francese was the best that she has had and the wings and burgers were outrageous. We are looking forward to our next event at Ralph’s!“

“Everything you could want from a North Jersey Bar. Happy to get in there this weekend to eat good and enjoy the games.“

“Saturday karaoke party rocks!“

“We’re regulars at the bar here. Always great food drink and service. That’s why I decided to have them cater and host our event at their “Picketts Upstairs” . We had a group of fifty. Spacious good looking room. Our own bar and bartender. Food was outstanding, not your typical buffet. And staff never let things run out. Hot and fresh until everyone was satisfied. Amazing service and quality. HIGHLY recommend Picketts!!“

“Always a great time with Tabby, Ngozi, Nat and my karaoke crew!“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“A great place for food, friends & bands like Pale Horse“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Historical spot. The woman in the B&W photo on the right is my Aunt.“

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.“

“Best jalapeño poppers on the island Service impeccable“

“As always it was a great evening if amazing food and hospitality by all of the staff. The live band was amazing. A perfect evening to sit outside and relax with my family and celebrate Angela's birthday!“

“Good and quick service. Best empanadas we ever had. Based on those, the philly cheese steaks were a let down. More bread than filling, hardly any cheese. Tap beer was flat as a Guinness, and wasn't supposed to be. Holiday mule was good.“

“Un excelente lugar y buena atención“

“Great place... I go for lunch all the time... Try the Cheesesteak... The thin crust pizza... Ceasar salad... & the Roast Beef is always Rare...The Staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome..So drinks at the bar or out on the patio.... It's a good time“

“A friend of mine brought some takeout from Cherry's Lounge to my home. Wow! delicious! got to make my way to Cherry's Lounge.“

“Tonight was my first time at Krugs Tavern & my burger was simply fantastic. Great atmosphere & my waitress was to die for. She was terrific, even when I noticed I forgot my sunglasses & had to go back in & retrieve them, they were on the counter. Thank you so much. 5 stars here. Take care & good luck.“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Went early on a Sunday when it was raining. While the parking lot isn't the best, the food is.

I got the Kimchi burger and it was a very good size.
They cook it to perfection exactly as you request it.
Fries were good.
Onion rings were actual onion rings. Not that minced onion paste some places do.

My brother got the bulleit burger and he was saying how delicious it was.“

“This was my fourth time ordering pizza, each of the pies were cooked like I asked and each one tasted the same, good flavor and crunch, just how I like them. The staff are very friendly and courteous, seems to be a friendly atmosphere , all seem to be having a nice time. Plenty of tv’s. One I’ll have to sit and eat there. Plenty of draft beers to choose from, full bar for you mix drink folks. Definitely will be going back. New Jersey Joe 👍🏼😀“

“Great bar pie pizza 🍕 and atmosphere“

“As Linden continues to change over the years, The Linwood is constantly excellent. The Food, Service & Staff are always solid and kid's are always welcome. Go get yourself a pizza, cold drink, the Jolly Rancher Chicken Sandwich and enjoy.“

“This is the dive bar that reminds you nobody does dive bars right anymore. I don't even drink and I go here for games just because the vibes are right. Also, the people complaining about the food are snobs. The food is good (especially the wings); it's a bar not a country club.“

“Decades ago, I ate at this location weekly when it was "Eddie's Long Bar". I visited Pour Abbey's a few times. The inside has been COMPLETELY changed for the better. The food is very good and the service excellent. I am not in the area often but will stop here when possible. Well Done!“

“Whether it's empty or crowded, I love being able to just hang out in a place where nothing extra is required of me. Nothing more than my wallet is needed to have a good time. Fairly new pool table with 2 dollar games, a wide assortment of drinks to choose from, a very simple yet delicious food menu, and a very hospitable wait staff. The Kave is slowly becoming my regular go-to spot after a long work week“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Waves of Wine for a quick drink and loved the chill vibes. The atmosphere was super relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a glass of wine and good company. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great place to go for a night out! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming! The bands are great! The owners are great people! Would definitely recommend to anyone! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“If you want to wind down from a crazy day and enjoy good eats and libations, this is the place to be! Anyone can come here and feel welcomed, and don't forget to order their famous MAC AND CHEESE!!“

“Clean establishment, easy to fine, well lite sports bar/restaurant. It's more of a burger joint, meeting friends type place. Good pricing, good value. Friendly staff and nice owner. The best value is the prime rib dinner night. Get there early for when ribs are gone. It's over til next week.“

“Coolest idea but they need to open the bar and bar seating and staff it while the theater is in operation , not doing so removes part of what makes this place great: I do hope they figure out how to accommodate the bar as well. Overall great place.“

“I haven't ordered any food so I can't give y'all a rate
Never the less let me explain how y'all established put a smile on my face I just laid my dear aunt to rest today and I've felt numb all day thanks to your music and the friendly atmosphere I had a great time thanks for allowing me to dance my heart out
Nothing but love,
❤️

“el mejor ambiente! excelente atención y excelentes precios 😜“

“Good place for a complete meal at a fair price. Brazilian restaurant located in Newark - NJ, with good structure, good service and pleasant space. The menu is quite diverse and can please different audiences, the portions are large and serve one person very well. Every day of the week there is a meal option at a more affordable price, it's worth checking out.“

“buen ambiente rica comida“

“A staple in the North of Newark. Definitely a locals spot with a ever growing clientele. this spot looks small in the front but it has a banquet hall, pool table and bar area. If you go by, say "hi" to Cheito (the owner). Tell him "Nani" sent you ;)“

“The food was and always is Delicious never a disappointment and great service. Our waiter was awesome he interacted with our family.“

“I really enjoyed myself .. The food was actually good (it don’t have to be the best in NJ but it was the best there lol) , the body mirrors everywhere make you want to take pictures all night , the scenery is definitely a scenery you would want to be apart of & the place is definitely a good vibe … There is two sides and two DJs playing different music inside the club … On either side you will definitely enjoy yourself … There was excellent customer service but the service can be slow at the bars due to it being busy but overall this is definitely a club/Bar Restaurant I will be returning too ‼“

“Excellent food and service!!“

“Muy buen citio y trankilo y las niñas son muy amables les recomiendo y la misica es la mejor de Elizabeth en morris ave“

“Had many family parties here and repasts. The food is very good. Issue is the last time I was there, 18 people birthday party, the service was very very poor. People waited for the coffee order for 2 hours. Asked for decaf tea and they received camomile. Waited an hour for decaf tea bag. Also, I bought a birthday cake and waited over an hour for it to be brought out and people in our party was leaving. Other issue. If you put down deposit for party, KEEP the receipt! I forgot about my deposit and apparently so did Conga and after going there with receipts and credit cards, calling, it too over 2 weeks to get deposited credited to my bank account. Just be diligent if you have a party and keep on top of your waiter/waitress. Tip Was included in total cost and there was no way the waitress deserved the amount they added to my bill! All in all, want a sandwich, dinner, cafe or dessert, food and service is very good. We will go back. But will be more on top of things if I have another party.“

“We stopped in for dinner at Chrone’s Trattoria to try the food since it’s under new management now. It was SO good!! I got the Greek salad with chicken cutlet and onion rings. Everything was so fresh. I can’t wait to come back- their menu includes a ton so an easy place to go with friends for a great meal. Definitely check it out!“

“By far the best sporting date I took myself on thus far. A bit tight to eat when someone is next to you but A1 service. Everyone was very professional. The food prime rib was a bit cold but tasty while the mini donuts for dessert were excellent. I do not believe I will ever watch another hockey game from general seats while by myself again. Now I must look into these types of seats for other events. #Spolied

Kid-friendliness: Yes indeed“

“Golda was the best part of our day. Our flights were cancelled and we were stuck in New York another day. Our original bartender was not so great and we waited over 30 minutes to get served at the bar. Golda showed up and served us right away. We got a variety of drinks and she did such a good job with every drink.“
