50 Best Bars near Kearny

“Great time with my family for lunch, great food and great atmosphere but our waitress Abby gets the 5 Stars for service (Awesome Abby 🤩)“

“Good mix of craft beers…excellent bartenders and sports bar.“

“The Scots American Club is by far the best place this side of the Atlantic - to go for any Scottish events or if you're Scottish - just to drop by. They care about the culture, football and they will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. I wish all American bars (even if clubs) are like this one. The workers and owners are all fantastic and made this Scottish person feel welcome in a foreign land.

6/5 if I could.“

“good people cooled beer“

“Lived in Kearny for quite some time but only went here a few times and honestly I wasn’t crazy about the food. Not that it was bad but I always always always ordered the empanadas & for some reason, the inside was always cold. I ordered other food & it was good. But it’s a great atmosphere & never seen problems or fights, cosas asi but the only complaint I definitely will say is the music. I absolutely love when bars have the music videos up or videos of live shows, but stop playing boleros at a bar. People are drinking. Wanting to have fun. Playing boleros makes people wanna kill themselves lolol. It’s super depressing. Even though the songs are great but not for a bar. Consider doing a digital jukebox where the customers pick strictly, la musica latina and you’ll most likely definitely get a bigger clientele. I know I would waste my money on it lol. But would 110% go back. Shiiiii….. I just went tonight! LoLoL. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

Thank you a million times over 11/10“

“I went to Harry's for my birthday dinner while visiting NYC in May 2025. Everything was absolutely perfect. Best beef wellington I've ever had. The service was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the creme brulee topped everything off. I plan to dine there everytime I visit NY. I would recommend to any and everyone.“

“Went today for my first time. Kimberly was my server and she was amazing. Can’t wait to go back. The food and service was great!“

“This was our first time eating at Tartinery. There are several items to choose from on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Tartine and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. The concrete countertops around the restaurant were a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly while also providing fast service. We will absolutely visit again when we are in New York.“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“Best dive bar and best burgers“

“Beautiful ambiance, decor, and music — genuinely loved the atmosphere and wanted to love this place overall. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were incredibly disappointing. I tried a cocktail, the potato croquettes, a cheese board, and even the prosecco, and everything tasted off or low quality. It’s rare for me to leave a negative review, but the experience just didn’t match the vibe or pricing at all. Huge potential, but the food menu needs really need improvement. Only 4 stars because I grew up in Jersey city and support new restaurants; but for the love of god please update the food menu!!!!!!!!!“

“Chicken pot pie! 👍🏻 the staff is very friendly! Great place!“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Rockbar NYC is a lively neighborhood bar known for its inclusive, energetic vibe and strong LGBTQ+ community presence. The atmosphere is casual and fun, with themed nights and music keeping things upbeat. Drinks are straightforward and affordable. A great spot for a relaxed, social night out in NYC.“

“I went for the very first time for New Jersey Deathfest and found it to be the ideal venue for hard-core and metal. The sound is actually top notch and the staff is very friendly. The gritty decor and atmosphere is very reminiscent of a lot of the noteworthy DIY venues I used to go to in NYC during the 90's for metal and hardcore shows which made it all the more nostalgic for me. I would definitely return here for another show in the future.“

“There must be something in the water here, because this spot has some of the best bartenders I’ve encountered! My friend and I were visiting from Vermont and stayed at the W Hotel. We stopped by The Living Room one evening before we headed out to Brooklyn for some exploration. Jose and Peter were such amazing bartenders, it was difficult for us to leave! Incredible drinks, great atmosphere and conversation. The drinks were easily some of the best drinks we have had. Jose and Peter are both magicians when it comes to mixology. Definitely a highlight of our trip and we cannot wait to visit again. THANK YOU JOSE AND PETER!!“

“Good neighborhood bar with good service and free food at times. Best deal in town.“

“We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of tasty cuban flavor. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. We especially enjoyed the mojitos and the generous portions. We definitely recommend it for birthday celebrations!“

“I was recently in New Jersey for a concert and staying at a hotel for a few nights. My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat nearby. We decided to go to this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever. The atmosphere was incredible. Everyone in there was so cool and the bartender was fantastic and very helpful. She recommended the Jack Daniels burger so we both went with it. When I tell you we both dreamed about this burger for our entire trip. We ended up going back to this place two more times. It was such a great local place with great people. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re ever in the area go there and get the Jack Daniels burger. Talk to the locals. Have a pint and enjoy the vibes. 5/5. 10/10. Incredible.“

“Food is always good and always great service!!“
