“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.“

Dingbatz Dive Bar • $
620 Van Houten Ave, Clifton - 8.55 miles

“I love this place. Tied to Dingo's across the street, it's a terrific little venue (maybe can hold a couple hundred people when packed) to watch heavier, live music. Fred doesn't hold back with the largely disregarded genre of metal music when he books groups, though he books plenty of other varieties as well. Cheap tickets, reasonable alcohol prices and you can order in food from the sister place across the way. Cheers to the regional Metal oasis that is Dingbatz!“

Wilton House Bar • $
58 Newark St., Hoboken - 7.43 miles

“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“

Tankys Bar & Grill Bar • $$
330 Long Ave, Hillside - 4.1 miles

“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.“
