50 Best Bars near Montville

“I never ever ever ever feel obliged to review restaurants. There are hundreds of reviews that speak and echo anything I would say about the delicious meal I enjoyed. But what is compelling me to post this was truly the regarding the service I received here. It brought me to tears!!! Patricio and Dylan were the most considerate, kind, attentive and understanding waiters I have ever met in my entire life. After dining in the tri-state area my whole life, exploring cities like Chicago and LA through food, I’ve been conditioned and numb to lackluster waitstaff and typically take the approach of trying just to avoid them spitting in my food, but Patricio and Dylan completely floored me in their attention to detail, knowledge, and service that showed me exactly what good waiters could be. Living with GI issues and intolerances, I consistently feel like an inconvenience at restaurants and that the entire responsibility of making sure I don’t fall ill after dining is based on how I modify the menu and pick around my plate. EXCEPT here at Rails with Patricio and Dylan, I had the first care-free dining experience in my life, their thoughtfulness allowed me to be truly present with my family, enjoy the wonderful food being served, and just live in the moment, which is so important to me. Dylan was explicit in the detail of every dish and always helped me navigate what was coming around and being served. Now, back to the tears, when I subtly mentioned in passing to Patricio that I couldn’t eat dairy and couldn’t partake in the birthday cake, he brought me a delicious sorbet flight, unprompted, just so that I could feel a part of the festivities. I can’t wait to go back to Rails to see my friends again. - Emily R. Sartori“

“This has quickly become my new favorite spot. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. The bar has an awesome partnership with the Smoke Shack BBQ across the street, making it even better. The vibe is laid-back, and they offer a great selection of craft beers, wines, and a wide variety of whiskeys and tequilas. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good drink.“

“Fun time local bar nice people great bartenders“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.

Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

“Great staff and nice place to have some cocktails and food!“

“The Sidedoor is under new ownership, and I’ve already seen some really positive changes! It’s in a great spot, and they’ve started adding food and making little updates that make a big difference. The vibe is super inviting! It’s definitely a place where anyone can feel welcome.

If you’re into beer, pool, darts, shuffleboard, and just a good time in general, this is the place to check out. Excited to see what’s coming next for The Sidedoor!“

“If you’re in Wanaque, Flips is the dive bar you need to check out. Tucked off Ringwood Ave, it’s got cold beers, fast, friendly bartenders, and Joe, the owner, is simply the man.

The vibe is classic dive—dim lights, jukebox, and regulars who make you feel like family. But the food? That’s where Flips stands out. Chef Robert takes dive bar staples to the next level crispy calamari, gourmet burgers, and a sizzler steak that could rival any fine dining spot. All made with locally sourced ingredients and a chef’s touch.

The daily specials hit the mark, and the Bloody Marys are on point. If you’re looking for a dive bar with heart and flavor, Flips is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I went to celebrate my cousin's birthday party. The dining area and dance floor were a good size. The bar area had a huge screen for watching sports and enjoying the appetizers that were being passed out. The wait staff were very attentive.The restrooms were clean but needed to be attended to more. Somebody took my umbrella which was left in the bucket area when you come in and out. It didn't ruin my night, I had a great time.I think my cousins had a cater.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat area to walk in and out, the restrooms maybe tight.“

“Best Bar on that side of town.

Went on my own, bartender was nice.
Gave really good beer suggestions: fruity but non sweet IPA, and another lemon beer.

Music was really good. There was karaoke that night too (Thursday).

There were a variety of ages, from 20s to 50s and even 60s, everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves.

They have different events and bands throughout the month so defo check them out.

*Did not try food“

“I came here on Mother's Day to celebrate with my parents. If you want outdoor seating when there is a band, arrive early because there are only 3 or 4 outdoor tables. I tried to order lunch at 12 but was told it isn't served until 1 pm. When I politely asked if they could make a grilled chicken salad, the cook said no problem. Great customer service! Food was good too. Next time, I should try the Irish breakfast- a beer, a shot of whiskey, and bacon; it's actually a great idea. 😂“

“Great carribean food like nowhere else, and the host of a great Wednesday jam that’s been going on for over 20 years.“

“A nice bar inside a hotel. Decent food and the French onion was one of the best I have ever had. Michael and Lance were our bartenders/servers, and they did a wonderful job. The mixed drinks were cheaper than most in the area as well. I would recommend this place. Oh, they also have a charger block attached to the bar, so you can plug in your device.“
