50 Best Cocktail Bars near North Bergen

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“We had a thoroughly delightful meal at Porto. Service was stellar, and the food was beautifully and deliciously prepared.

I’d been to Italy earlier this year, and our dinner tonight made me feel like I was back again, enjoying only the greatest hits of my trip.

The evening concluded with a night cap (or two) in the Blue Room Speakeasy upstairs, and as great as our meal had been, our experience upstairs was our favorite moment of the night, due entirely to the skill and presence of our bartender, Nina. Her cocktails were balanced and delicious, and her delightful, effortless charm added an unexpected enchantment to our night. Bravo!“

“Great service! Everyone is so nice there and the food comes very fast! One of my favorite restaurants to go to! All of the food there is perfectly handmade!!! Definitely go there!!!“

“Me having been in the this neighborhood five year, I would walk past this local bar regularly but recently I had noticed some construction inside followed by a name change. It got my attent but wasn't until a few months that I didn't actually go in and Covid did play a factor but man am I glad I did!!! Amy"s warm, genuine and warm greeting was a pleasant surprise. Then immediately you notice the open air lofty feel but with ever thing you expect in a classics traditional American bar. The perfectly sized newly constructed bar as you walk in on the right. Two midsize new pool table, the wall mounted monitor that can be seen from all angles, a perfect located dart board. But wait there is more. Amy who talked to us briefly about the new owners vision gave us the 5 cent tour ending it with the back yard. An oasis of a outdoor gathering area with tables, chairs and heater for those cool spring and summer nights entirely cover but a gazebo. Folks, Brass Rail 2 means business, they are built for you to come enjoy a beer watch baseball game on any of the monitors, play a game of pool, shoot some darts or just come and socialize with your friends or neighbors. Congratulations on building a nice local American Bar look I'm forward to spending time there unwinding after a good days work.“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“We stumbled across the Gem that is The Rum House on our visit to NY 6 years ago… probably the best Old fashioned we have tasted . Great atmosphere , decor and music and on a cold cold night it was fab ❤️“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Cannot WAIT to return! To say I was blown away with the professional and kindly approach of the staff, is an understatement. From the super waiter, Mike, to the GM, Matt, and all points in-between, AND adding in the amazing food, drinks, desserts and ambiance.. WOW!! Kudos for the highly memorable evening! Thank you.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“5/24 Update, the restaurant invited me back for a meal to redeem their service. To be fair, the restaurant was busy for yellowtail season so understandable.

The food was amazing, we got the scallops rice, salon pasta, Wagyu ribs and the clam soup. I prob would do without the scallop rice for future but everything else hit the spot. Esp my favorite, the clam soup.

Thank you Won and the Capitan of the restaurant for taking care of us! I will definitely be back soon again.

Previous update: Came as a party of one, was seated immediately. Sat and waited for 30mins, no one came to serve me or take my order.

Trendy spot, was excited to try the food, but terrible service.“

“A+++. If you enjoy and understand cocktail culture and the history then this is a must visit for the weary traveler or enthusiast. I always make it a point to visit for over 10+ years. The hospitality and attention to detail in the art or craft has always been consistent. Salute to the staff and employees of this establishment. May they keep the craft alive for many years to come! Please be respectful and patient for the high demand is eminent. 🥃👌🏼“

“Great place to watch the sunset over NYC! Great drinks and good food! Excellent service.“

“As a massive tiki enthusiast, I've tried all the rum bars in the city, and Sunken Harbor is the winner. The decor is immersive without feeling cheesy, and the bartenders take their craft seriously. I ordered the Zombie and watching the bartender prep the fire and garnishes was a show in itself. The crispy oysters were a great savory balance to the sweet drinks. Just a heads up: you must book ahead for weekends, and remember it's down a flight of stairs so not accessible for wheelchairs. Can't wait to go back!“

“Such a great hidden spot. Good for drinks/ date or business dinner. Overstory is amazing, but this place is a bit less fuss, while still being great. Especially if it's not great weather for a good view- I like Crown Shy better in winter.

Service can be slow during peak times, but food was good. Book reservations for a table (pretty standard at this type of place.)“

“Sunday’s can be slow.. Weather can be snails☔️. But between the bartender & my pal, & the other friends who joined..we weren’t thrown in jail? Idk I should’ve wrote this not a 3AM. 5⭐️ experience. I should’ve wrote try the food next visit fs“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“Great food - better service. Mason was absolutely wonderful. He helped walked us through the special dishes and his favorites, all of which we tried and were not disappointed. The shrimp parm is an absolute must - as well as the clam pasta. It’s quite different from any other clam pasta I’ve ever had but in a delectable way. The iceberg wedge salad was also delicious. Overall, great experience.“

“I swear my friends and I could live here. We’ve been coming to Madonna almost since their open… for dinner, for the pregame, for the many of birthdays, for the afters. The staff is a huge part of our experience and why it’s always first on our list. The music is always right, the cocktails are delish beyond belief, and the food… don’t get me started on the truffle fries. Trust!!“

“Craft cocktails in a cozy colorful outdoor patio. The perfect place to relax after a long week!“

“Always love coming to NYC and having a cocktail (or two or three) at The Up & Up!“

“The food & service were great! Will definitely return.“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“Really enjoy this place. Food comes out fast, and it's always fresh and spicy, if you like a kick, this is a solid spot for it.

Only gripe: white rice costs extra. Come on, it's rice! Docking one point for that alone.

4/5 stars, would still recommend.“

“Absolutely wonderful — hands down one of the best meals of the trip. Every dish we ordered was excellent: the watermelon salad, tuna, mandu, steak and potatoes, tteokbokki, and the sesame bread and butter pudding were all full of flavor and beautifully presented.

I loved the Korean-fusion small-plates concept — creative, shareable and really well executed. The cocktails were also excellent.

We sat at the bar for a 5 p.m. dinner before a 7 p.m. show, and the timing was perfect. Service was sharp, everything came out at just the right pace, and the bar had such a lively, engaging atmosphere with great conversation from the team.

Fun, flavorful, beautifully plated and full of energy. Would absolutely come back.“

“Great atmosphere!! Food was amazing!!! Niamh was fantastic so friendly and helpful! The best espresso martinis EVER!!!!“

“Had such a nice experience at The Terrace! Annie was our waitress and she was so sweet, attentive, and had such a good attitude. She definitely made the experience even better. The food was really good too, I just wish the portions were a little bigger because I was definitely left wanting more 😂 Overall, good food, great service, and shoutout to Annie for taking care of us!“
