50 Best Bars near Kenilworth

“Had dinner with my wife and son The place is beautiful the food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive Would definitely return.“

“super small place oy about 6 tables plus a few bar seats. food is super expensive but we had Erin as our server and she was absolutely wonderful. can't say enough nice things about her. super friendly and very attentive to our needs. she made it a wonderful experience. food was not great, a little bit greasy and very overpriced. there's literally about 4 choices on the entire menu. Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.“

“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.“

“Walked in this weekend for the first time and the female bartender was super friendly and helpful! We just wanted to stop in for a quick app and a beer. We ordered the fries and 2 rounds of beers and the check was super reasonable. We will definitely be back when it is nicer out to sit outside. They have a variety of things on the menu, a pool table, shuffleboard table and electronic darts.“

Heads up: they are cash only!“

“oh yeah! Harrisons newest hot spot“

“Good food. Very slow service. Need to get the TVs to work or at least hire staff that are able to change the channels on them.“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“Exceptional customer service and the entrees were superb. Our servers were both excellent, Andres and Vivian and their hunky manager, whose name we did not catch. The drinks were very well made, with nice presentation. My wife, Patricia, had a Coconut Mojito and I had two Lemon Martinis (well blended) refreshing and tasty. Order the Calamari as an appetizer. Our entrees were the salmon and the cheese steak. Everything was prepared with a Columbian flare! Ole! You and a culinary delight.“

“Never had a bad meal here !! Steamed clams and French onion soup are a must !“

“apps were good, service was even better. live atmosphere on a Friday evening to boot.“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“buenísimo full diversion“

“It was first being back in Jersey in 13 years. Straight from my plane at midnight we went. I had so much fun the music, food with my family and friends. Coming back to party at People's Choice Lounge in the futue.“

“There's good bartender service. Nice vibe, nice music. The cost of drinks is fair. They're fed. This place appeals to me. Everyone is checked for your safety, including the security personnel, front and back bars, Djs on deck, sports on TV, and ATH. There are hookers on deck and a pleasant vibe.“

“This was my first time at this local spot and I must say it was really cool. Down to earth crowd just all out to have a good time it was a cool vibe a lot of smiling faces .. the chicken wings were off the hook the drinks were good . It is the dive joint you want to check out for sure. They also sell take out. After a hard week at work you can go to this spot and chill among some very Down to earth folks . I don't need a fancy place to go, I need a good time place ! And I think I have found it . The hell with boogie !!! Let's all go to Mike's“

“Es la mejor ambiente de esta área se lo recomiendo“

“Great time so wonderful 🥂“

“This place is a solid bar, I came here on a friday night for a little nite cap around midnight and overall I had a decent time. The bar is a no frills place with three sports tvs, a juke box, at least 15 seats by the bar and some other chairs around the rest of the place. There is also shuffle board and two darts with a scoreboard which is fun. They have a great beer menu from Blue Moon to Angry Orchard, Corona, White Claw, High noon, etc. for only 5 bucks [they have at least 8 beers on tap for only $5 too]. I also saw a lot of whiskey and vodka options if you wanted to do shots or mixed drink [$7 for a shot]. The problem is the shot glasses are so small, it doesn't resemble an ounce and a half which is standard size in other bars, I felt like the plastic cup they gave me reminded me of cough medicine sizes. The bartender was super nice and friendly, he talks with most patrons and makes sure the place doesn't get too rowdy. However my fiancé felt like he was fishing for tips when he would give you a 5 dollar bill back as change. When I came there was a girls birthday with her friends and she was able to put out sandwiches and catered food of her own. I kinda felt guilty invading her space but it was nice to see that the bar lets you do your own thing. The crowd seemed fairly mixed crowd when I came, from college frat boys to young girls in their 20's or groups of men in their 30s and 40s. I did feel it was a little crowded but that seemed more based on cliques then the space itself. In terms of food, they do sell chips nuts and a tombstone pizza but there isn't much space to eat unless you sit at the actual bar. I think if this place rearranged the furniture and had an outdoor backyard they could successfully have more dining. I would definitely come back here for another night cap or to watch a sports game.“

“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.“

“A great place to go to and have a good time and a cold beer“

“Exactly what you would picture a great bar to be! The old classic rustic place with all the classic bottles and drinks as well as cute seasonal twist. Was there for the postseason baseball game and football games! Great choice of music today!“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem - no frills, I repeat, no frills type of place - Woods is your spot.Full disclosure: Nivea (the bartender) is my mom and has bartended alongside Tony and his wife (the owners) for more than 20 years. My mom loves the place so much, you can find her there on her off days. Tony is the man! One of a kind.The place is special - a perfect, dive bar with Portuguêse flair. Make sure you bring cash for the jukebox and pool table, and order an espresso with Sambuca.“

“Great place to eat, and to watch the sporting games!“

“Spot was a good vibe! The owner is very engaging with the customers and even works the bar when it gets busy!! The drinks are pricey but worth it $20 for a LIIT. The venue was clean and setup nice you can tell she keeps it up! The DJ was on point!!!“

“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!“

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

“Nothing for high demands. But somehow an iconic place. Sometimes the tone is a little rougher than what we know in Germany. But people know each other here and you feel comfortable. I don't want to eat here. So don't expect too much and enjoy your stayI'm happy if you like my review ?“

“The last time there was over 5years ago. Comfortable setting, clean and pleasant staff.“

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

“Only place to be for football (soccer). Atmosphere on match days is electric! Highly recommend for those into the game and looking for a great atmosphere. Good place to have a party as well. My 30th birthday party was there and it was blast!“

“lo mejor de lo mejor 👌 👍🏻“

“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!“

“The most disfispectful place on 3222022 stop by for a drink won't get served asked for a soda said no. This was not a place you wanna be out of state. This after I'm getting home how sad this is a place that did not understand what people are going through stay away. Sad to have places like this in jersey.“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“Cece and Elvia are Hand down the best bartender’s at this place. Amazing conversation, phenomenal drinks and extraordinary company. These girls deserve a raise for their commitment and outstanding service.“

“Homemade pasta and wood fired pizza.“
