50 Best Pubs near North Bergen

“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.“

“Donovan’s Pub is owned by 2 Woodside gentlemen. The staff is amazing friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. The food is absolutely delicious and great portions. They have the Best Burger in NYC. It’s the best burger I have ever had. They have awesome live music every weekend on their brand new stage. Their lineup of musicians is the best around. I’ve been going there for 50+ years and I highly recommend Donovan’s Pub in Woodside NY.“

Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“TL;DR: Mulligan’s is a top-tier soccer bar with professional staff, solid bar food, a pool table, and a strong selection of local and imported beers on tap.

Mulligan’s Pub is widely considered the premier destination in New Jersey for watching soccer. The establishment consistently opens early for Premier League kickoffs and maintains a dedicated environment for fans of various international leagues. The atmosphere is consistently high-energy without being overbearing, making it a reliable spot for both major tournaments and weekly league fixtures.

The service is efficient and the staff is professional, managing large match-day crowds with ease. Regarding the menu, the food is quality bar fare; the wings and burgers are dependable.

The layout includes a pool table in the back and dart boards, providing activity beyond the screens. Their draft list is well-balanced, featuring some local craft beers alongside standard European imports like Guinness. It is a straightforward, well-run Irish pub that prioritizes the viewing experience for supporters.“

“Amazing food. Huge Portions. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I live 4 hours away. 😭“

“Best fries ever! The burgers use to be good... Idk if the changed management or workers but, definitely not the same as a year ago when I first came here. Vegetables are not fresh & not enough quantity. I had to ask for a good amount of veggies on my burger since the last time I went there all they gave me was a leaf of lettuce (the core!) & 3 strips of onions. Ps Spicy mayo sauce is good“

“This place is outstanding. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Food is crazy good. For a game night the energy is palpable. As a Southerner that works for a NJ company, the 101 Pub represents everything great about the area - the local feel, the strong drinks, the vocal opinions about the sports teams. Not to be missed.“

“great food! friendly staff. cool atmosphere“

“Roger is awesome! Formula 1 races are on whenever there is one.“

“Me and my family love Cassidy’s. We go to NY every year for Christmas. This year we had a group of 23 and Seamus was able to accommodate us with a reservation. Our waiter was Joe C. ,who was great. It’s not easy waiting on a large group of people, but he was super patient and kind.“

“Received this note.

Hi Sebastian. Wasn't planning on using your email, but I think we may have had a burger mix-up! I fear that you received one without cheese when you had in fact paid for extra cheese! Is this the case? If so I do apologize and we will make it right in the way of a refund and many beers on your next visit.

My reply was:

Burger had cheese and extra cheese and was delicious. Appreciate the follow up and offer. I will happily keep paying for beers!

The point is everyone is proud of working there. It’s clear. Strong leadership, amazing crew and great product.

Love that place.“

“Came in with a friend who used to be a local. He had set the bar high but I had an even better time than I thought I would. Was packed but didn’t seem crowded, clean, good seating and the overall setup is really cool. Then I realized there was an entire back room- we posted up on the high top booth for hours and had a great time. If I was local I would absolutely live here.“

“This place rocks … Blake and Jack know how to make a nice inviting bar ! They’ve done it for years“

“What a pleasant surprise! I have passed Mulligan's for years on my way to other restaurants in the area. I decided to order dinner for my husband and myself tonight - wished I did it before. Chicken sandwich was awesome. Shrimp basket was great and the side salad was fresh, even had avocados. We'll be back. Ordered take out so can't rate atmosphere.“

“Music Bingo was such Fun!!!“
