50 Best Bars near Montclair

“Best place to celebrate St.Patricks Day! Funtimes. Best corned beef sandwich! Awesome drinks!“

“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!“

“Amazing drinks amazing bartenders!!!“

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.“

“One of our favorite spots“

“I had a great experience. This was my second time visiting the restaurant. The first was for lunch, where I had a fantastic meal. This time, I brought the whole family —my in-laws, kids, and a couple of friends —and we had a blast. Service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Truly a gem in Montclair. The atmosphere was great, too, thanks to the restaurant's design and spaciousness. I'm not sure if it's my age, but sitting in cramped spaces with tables and people right next to me and servers bumping into my chair every 30 seconds isn't the experience I'm looking for anymore. Allegory provides you with the complete opposite experience, with comfortable, spacious seating. This is my new go-to spot. Can't wait to check out the dinner option. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.“

“Halcyon,I'd gladly come back! I loved the ambiance.“

“This was my first time coming to this location,. Parking off street was easy to find so I opted out for the Valet. Upon arrival the host seated us and almost immediately my server Cara was pleasant and after hearing it was my first time she gave me the option to sit outside even though our reservations were for an indoor event. Ordered martinis ,draft beer, the sliders and fries . The aioli was so good I had to get extra to put on my burgers! Everything was prompt, correct and Cara was very attentive . Will be coming back with friends for drinks and the ambience. Definitely good vibes and that's speaking from a foodie and person in the business. Great job guys“

“Absolutely love this place ! The people are friendly and great food, and Juices !! Can't get any fresher and the juices are full of wonderful things for your nutritional needs !! Will always keep going here !! Barry is great at listening to your nutritional concerns and questions and helps you find the Juice or Juices you should be drinking. The smoothies are the Best hands down!!“

“Came here with some of my friends last week and we had a great meal. We got burgers, fries and some other meats. Now all 3 of my friends that came r Allison, bob, and Matt. They all work in an office and sit at a cubical all day. They definitely appreciate me taking them for dinner. We got here and it’s definitely a dive bar atmosphere I’m not used to that but it was a fun time. My friends gave it bad at home and me taking them out for dinner gave them time to vent. Allison said that her 14 yr old son crashed her car because she didn’t give him gas money, bob said that his wife tried to strangle him with her boot laces because he forgot to put soap in the washer and the clothes stunk, and Matt said that his husband did not pleasure him in bed as he had hoped for. Then all the sudden as we were eating Allison decided it would be a lovely time to start her period. She bled all over the chair so me , Matt and bob started to laugh and bully her. The staff was very helpful to her and we ended up just leaving after we ate. We were gonna stay for some beers but we decided we wanted to go home. Definitely come check this place out it’s worth ur time !“

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

“Love The Notch! Can’t wait to see what great bands will be playing there this year and the new friends I’m bound to make! The Notch Family keeps growing! If you haven’t been there yet…… get to it! ❤️🎶🍻“

“Leanne, is an exceptional server and always brings a big smile to the table, great Food, and atmosphere. Fun and friendly place.“

“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.“

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

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“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.“

“The best rock n roll in town! Swing through! Great food and friendly staff!!!“

“people good times new comers old timers neighborhood is so special“

“Great service! You wouldn’t know they were short staffed.“

“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.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“Decided to check this place out for karaoke while in town and, man, what a little gem this was! The owner and manager were so welcoming! The vibe was so positive and everyone seemed rather friendly! ✨️ We are in town for another week and we will be back!
Heads up: they are cash only!“

“A friend and I picked this bar off a Google search. What a FIND!! Small but modern bar space. LINDA was extremely friendly and professional behind the bar. she made our initial visit a 10 plus! The Italian restaurant next door offered a great menu and delicious food. Will be a constant when heading out for drinks and dinner.“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?“

“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!“

“Stopped in yesterday. The food and prices were really good. The two bartenders couldn't be bothered. Luckily they left at 6 and a much better bartender started working.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“If you’re smart and want to have fun for cheap I suggest and highly recommend coming here. Great place to come here if you want chill vibes with great prices. Drinks are cheap and the people there are welcoming. Music is up to date and also can be old school r&b! Also if you’re looking for aesthetic this place never fails to represent.“

“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“

“The best atmosphere to unwind and have fun...“

“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.“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“Nice environment,,I danced blisters on my feet ? the music was flowing just right me and my daughter had a ball.Im originally from Ms,so if you are visiting Newark New Jersey,I say you "MUST" stop by and wine the hips..♥️♥️♥️?✨“
