26 Best Dive Bars near Kearny

“What a Great Bar. Every time I go there I have an awesome time. The place is always clean, great music and the staff is friendly. The Best Irish Bar in N.J.🍀🍀🍀“

“Awesome experience that anyone can enjoy the drinks and food, too! The bartender is really good @ what she does! Way to go!🫶🏽“

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

“Old school irish pub , caught the early yankee game here in the afternoon. Very quiet , prices for drinks were very good, bartender was so nice , she was very quick making sure we always had a drink , didn't have to call or wave her down like some places.“

“I've always loved Dingbatz as a patron. My experiences there have always always been positive ones. The food (across the street at Dingos) is top notch and fairly priced and I've never had poor service at the bar. It ONLY loses one star because I have had many friends (and bands) who have Not had good experiences there, and sometimes that varies greatly depending on who is working the shift and what kind of mood they are in at the time. But I always try to encourage bands to play here - the stage is SMALL and there's no green room but unless you're a bunch of pretentious jerks, the staff WILL take care of you, and your fans will be grateful for the up close and more personal experience that you simply cannot get at big venues.“

“Great experience, fun vibe, great drinks, even better staff.“

“Could not believe there is a small town bar in the middle of Hoboken. Loved everything about it, from the bartender Daniel, who was not only professional, but friendly and fun to chat with, to the juke box you can play your music.

I loved that it was very quiet in the middle of the week, and you could interact comfortably with other peole“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“Everything here@SOCCER TAVERN“

“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.“

“Great times all the time.“

“Really chill & relaxing bar. Bartender Jennifer was awesome and courteous. I was here for Thursday APA 8-ball, and everyone is so nice. They don’t serve food, but you can bring in your own food. So I ordered a drink with my food from outside.“

“great music,staff,atmosphere.Have seen some great shows there.“

“great place . great people“

“Great crowd of people in for karaoke today 7/30. Check out Top Shelf Karaoke for future dates and other information.“

“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.“

“Been a long time since I had a beer with the Dillon boys and my Valley friends!“

“Worst bar , bad service drunk bartender called Jerry is very disrespectful“

“Great local spot for drinks and food, with tons of TVs and all the sports, plus a cool little outdoor seating area. Has its own parking lot too. The food was pretty great, we had a small bar pie that had good flavor and crunch, and the disco fries were awesome. They're curly fries, which is great. Good service too, basic tap list but the domestics are $3 all day every day?? Sign me up. Live music on Fridays too, would definitely go back.“

“Best atmosphere Great people!!!“

“I must say I don't write much reviews on bars and the such but this one here my goodness I just had to because of the exceptional service and good natured and hospitable nature of the Bartender there by the name of Brian. He made such an impression to his golden smile, his positive down-to-earth demeanor, his outstanding communication made you feel like he was not only your server/bartender but also your best friend, your therapist, and a loving Father/ and or brother relative however. Brian puts the cozy in the Cozy Tavern with his exceptional sevice and warm gentle personality that would make any atmosphere feel cozy and make anyone feel at home. All to cheers to Brian ?“

“This is the kind of bar that u see on an adam sandler movie where the music is great ppl playing darts the bar tender is cool as hell theres an american flag and the background and everyone is just getting along! Oh and try the wings and thank me!! LolWill be back!“

“I was introduced to this place and I absolutely adore it here! The staff and service is 10/10. It’s a smaller business but they always give it their all. I will say the wings are amazing along with the sauce, thank you :)

**my favorite drink is the Malibu bay breeze**“

“This is the best bar and my favorite bar in JC. I come for the tots and stay for the drinks and the jukebox. Every time I come here is a great time. It’s a bit small and gets crowded Friday through Sunday so come a bit earlier for a seat at the bar. Very friendly atmosphere, sports and mtv vids shown. The only thing that could make this place better is showing mma fights 💜“

“Service is super fast! Dana(i think) and a guy (didn't get his name ) were fast and friendly. Food is AMAZING get the fries they are so good. They were pretty busy and we didn't wait at all for anything, they also have a great outdoor space. Thanks for a really fun night!!!! We will definitely be back for Monday bike night.“

“Great music here! If you like the music I like!“
