50 Best Bar & Grill near Linden

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

“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“

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

“We sat at the bar and enjoyed the wrap around TV screens showing every sport. The service was excellent. Gabe the bartender was friendly and welcoming. I think he could tell it was our first time there. He was on the ball with our drinks and knew when we needed another one before we had to say anything. The food was really good. We had the fried mushrooms and a couple sandwiches which were delicious. We're going back again for sure.“

“Place has a cool vibe with plenty of seats and fun staff …really good bar food and live entertainment with dj’s and bands! Don’t listen to negative reviews from local competitors this place ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We had such an amazing experience at The Rock House! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is incredible — everyone’s in a great mood, super friendly, and ready to have fun. We went for the Halloween party, and they absolutely nailed it. The band was fantastic, the music was excellent, and the whole place had this awesome ‘80s throwback feel — from the décor to the energy. The food came out fast, tasted great, and the prices were very reasonable. The Halloween-themed drinks were creative and fun, and the bar staff was quick, smiling, and clearly enjoying the night. The place was packed but still felt friendly and comfortable — we ended up meeting so many great people. You can tell The Rock House puts a lot of heart into what they do. Overall, this is a class act bar that knows how to throw a party. Beers are always cold, the food is consistently good, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend checking it out — and whatever you do, make sure to try their candied bacon. It’s amazing!“

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

“Un excelente lugar y buena atención“

“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.“

“Best jalapeño poppers on the island Service impeccable“

“Great place to meet and eat. Bartenders and cook are super friendly and great to know. Great food and variety. We love coming here from South River.“

“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“

“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.“

“Frenchy's is such a fun, pleasant dive with bar food and drinks. Often they have music that is played so loud that you can't talk. Parking can be a problem. Small lot and street parking. Oh, and part of the movie The Wrestler with Micky Rourke was filmed there.“

“Great bar pie pizza 🍕 and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food was decent and we had great table service from the bartender that was there when we were in for lunch between 11:30 and 1 PM on a Tuesday . The negative is the 4% credit card surcharge. Firstly, I don’t like that surcharge and secondly, I have not seen establishments charge 4% so that seemed excessive.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Where is Henny the DJ? No promotion. No drink specials. Lazy.“

“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.“

“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,
❤️

“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.“

“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“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

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

“Hosted a birthday party for about 28 people including kids. The service staff was attentive and responsive to emails and to my calls when I had questions. Here are pictures. The food that we ordered from the party package #2 was terrific. We brought our sound bar to play music from my own playlist. There is an option to have music provided by the bar/restaurant if you want. I would return to host another party. Much recommended.“

“Cozy and fun great beers great jukebox music. And never overly crowded ever. Love the entire menu. Great homemade chips. Delicious burghers.“

“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“

“lo mejor en amboy jass restaurant atenciones de 1ra lo recomiendo yo el mejor payaso mago 732 621 9305“

“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.“

“Lit! Lit! Lit! Went for Sinful Saturday (brunch) which starts at 9am but decided to get there early afternoon (around 12pm). It started out a little slow but boy did it become packed! Good music, the food needs help, I had french fries and empanadas and the empanadas lacked flavor and needed salt. I think more food options would help, especially if you don't eat seafood.“

“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!“

“Delicious salad special and vg salad off menu. Service is always attentive. The only issue is that it's usually noisy. Good for them... they're busy. Sometimes that's ok, other times not so much. Food and service are always very good.“

“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!!“
