50 Best Bar & Grill near Nutley

“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“Very friendly staff. Good beer selection. Standard pub food. The burger was really good; maybe a bit overcooked, but very tasty. Not much leg room at the bar. Have darts and shuffle board. The best part is they have train tracks and trains to go around and even have a tunnel.“

“Great place to hang out with friends, food was ok , I ordered grill chicken and I needed to be more cooked inside , other than that everything was great , I would order something else next time but music and drinks was great , fun ambience would def recommend“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“This is honestly hands down the best spot to get food at a bar by far. Always great specials. The owner really has a passion for this and everything on the menu is super high quality and exceptional service. The drinks are awesome too. The wing menu is outrageous. The staff is awesome. Great place to watch sports. Good DJs. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed. I've been coming here for several years and will continue to do so. There is no better place in the area in my expert food and beverage opinion. Oh and Nicole and Jess are pretty hot.“

“RACHEL was beyond incredible! Well, when I tell you I asked what kind of fries she had here? ....

She blew my mind!!!! Okay, so rattled off ten types of fries in literally a breath .. Her customer services spectacular.I love a server who knows the menu and is attentive.We were a group of 10!!!

She did a great job. Not enough people notice when somebody does great!!!!

She deserves the recognition thank you Rachel !!!!!“

“I had the pleasure of being a wedding photographer at this venue a few weeks ago, and it was truly incredible. The venue features a rustic, organic field enhanced with modern touches that are simply stunning. The event hall is fantastic, and the natural sunlight pouring in is a great advantage for any occasion! I really appreciated the natural colors and how they complemented the country decor. I also got to sample some food, and the cornbread was phenomenal, while the cream and cookies left me wanting more. I highly recommend booking this place—10/10!“

“Great Food, Great Drinks, and a very nice friendly atmosphere.“

“Great Place People are always friendly“

“My all time favorite bar!! It has everything. Great food, great beer, great service, great people, and an absolutely electrifying atmosphere. Good any day/night of the week. They have shuffle board, pool, darts, a ton of TVs to watch football (the best Sunday fun day spot in town). I can’t say enough about this place!“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“Great place happening lots of fun good food n drinks Lov it“

“Great place for dinner and drinks“

“just fantastic food and service“

“Shrimp Dino!!! The absolute best!!!“

“Food is pretty good large portions, cozy with a lot of activity going on, reminded me of cheers how friendly it felt. Monday jazz was so good came back for karaoke Tuesday. Red Sangria was my favorite. I will keep coming back. I had a lot of fun. I’m checking their events now. Owner Tommy told me “ I’m family now”“

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

“I had an amazing experience at McKinley Square Pub! The location is perfect, just steps away from Saint Petersburg College, making it a great spot for students, locals, and visitors alike.

The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting, with a great mix of laid-back charm and lively energy. Whether you’re looking to grab a quick bite or unwind with friends, this pub has something for everyone.

The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and fast. The staff really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and taken care of. They’ve got a great selection of drinks, and the food is delicious, with generous portions that are sure to satisfy.

If you’re in the area, especially near SPC, McKinley Square Pub is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We held a special birthday party for my husband in their private upstairs room and could not have been happier. The whole experience from start to finish was terrific. We had a smaller event and it's a pretty big room, but it felt just right the way the tables were arranged. We got in early enough to set up and everyone from management to the bartender and servers were as nice and accommodating as could be. I cannot say enough good things. If you are looking for a space for an event, look no further!“

“I live in Washington @ 11th. My two locals were Ted & Joe’s and Maxwell’s. Both gone. Lately been too busy to find a new local but Finnegan’s would be in the running. The premier establishment in Hoboken to experience local bands in a great space. As a performer it is great!!!!!!“

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“Great vibe!! You will feel right at home!! It is a family owned and worked business so they take very good care of the place and it’s customers!! The food is really good!! The chicken franchise is my favorite… and so good!! Taco Tuesday also has BINGO! Good food and good vibes!!!?“

“Love the owner and the great food!!!“

“Such a great venue with amazing food.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Good food and very friendly“

“food is decent
service a bit slow bc the bartender is busy at the bar so tables in dining room fall to a lower priority. makes sense though because they're not that busy.

it doesn't have the dive bar vibe it had before...“

“Usually when you visit neighborhood bars, the locals at the bar kind of push away newcomers. Not this place, this place was very warmly and welcoming to myself and my fiancée. We came all the way from Avenel. We both got tired of frequenting the locations over there. We found Joes on accident. From the time we walked in the patrons and the staff were very accommodating. And it brings me back in time, because bars like this are hard to come by. I always love a bar where the American workforce come after a long day of work to have a cold beer. This place was amazing we are definitely coming back.“

“I love this place. Great prices and you wouldn’t think so but the food is always delicious. I recommend anything on the special menu. The cook brings it out himself and clearly cares about your experience. I’ll always come back and recommend here.“

“Decades ago, I ate at this location weekly when it was "Eddie's Long Bar". I visited Pour Abbey's a few times. The inside has been COMPLETELY changed for the better. The food is very good and the service excellent. I am not in the area often but will stop here when possible. Well Done!“

“From the moment you walk in - the warm welcome from the awesome staff to the very chic decor and once the food came - The salmon was The Best Salmon - cooked to perfection accompanied by a salad. A fun night and don’t miss the entertainment #funfunfun @lindaslist“

“Good Food. Beer too! Yum yum yum yum yum yum“

“Great home town bar. Good food. Good people.“

“Un excelente lugar y buena atención“

“Karaoke every wednesday night is FIRE!“

“Stopped by for a light lunch on Thur around 12:30 pm. American Dream website is showing free validated parking when dining during weekdays 12-2 pm at listed restaurants, but when we asked, the server had to get a manager to validate it. David, the manager was being very nice about it. The restaurant’s website shows they have option for an Express Lunch menu, which has limited selection of items but of a better value than the all day menu. The maitre’d didn’t include the lunch menu until we requested it. Food came quick and everything was delicious. The corn bread came with sprinkles of wht looked like sea salt, and the honeyed butter & berries jam that accompanied the corn bread were soooo delish! Brussel sprouts were roasted to a crispy perfection, and drizzle of hot honey and pickled onions on it were just awesome. Truffle fries was fried perfectly crisp and hot, always a comfort munch. We chose brown sugar sauce for the wings, again the wings were fried to a perfect crisp. Some people might prefer their wings juicier like how they do in many other wing places, but i prefer my wings crispy, so this was very much to my liking. We ended up dipping the fries in the wing sauce coz it’s that good! Sweet with a mild tang and kick.. just yummy! The house made blue cheese dip was so thick and decadent, i could eat it with a spoon. Overall for the lunch menu, i’d say it’s a very good value. Might come back to try their entrees next time. Ambiance is fine, brightly lit and server is attentive. He asked if we’d like some water in addition to our drink order and left an entire bottle of ice cold water for our table, which I really appreciate. Wobbly table is a thing though, i read about it on the other reviews and our table was wobbly too, although the server said the previous table we were seated at had an even wobblier table, and ours wasnt as bad. I find it hillarious that they knew abt the wobbly tables and it’s still not fixed? Can’t even squeeze something underneath the table feet to stop the wobble? ? It’s certainly not a deal breaker issue. All Nighter mocktail was refreshing. Good experience all around.

Parking: Parking lot A would be closest to where the restaurant is. Check the mall website for any free parking promotion that have restaurants or businesses validate your parking ticket.

Kid-friendliness: They do have kids menu option.“

“Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, awesome service, love trivia night, highly recommended!!!“

“Fantastic spot for food, drinks, and awesome music! 😎“

“Buena comida , buen ambiente, excelente atención, calidad“

“Great place to go for a night out! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming! The bands are great! The owners are great people! Would definitely recommend to anyone! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Some of the best food I've ever had at an inexpensive price, can't beat it.“

“The drinks and breakfast was delicious!❤❤❤“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“Visiting from the UK, staying in the nearby hotel. Been travelling New Jersey by train, this place is on the way from the railway station to the hotel, so we have stopped off here a few nights. We have had good service and the food is good too, and all at reasonable prices. Very pleased to find this place as a decent way to end our day. Would definitely visit again if in the area.“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Great place sports plenty tvs good service“

“I gotta say I critique everyone i come across at Bar and restaurants looking for reasons to dislike my food and drinks just to criticize with the intention of making them better at what they do but with my bartender Golda she is absolutely incredible she made me multiple drinks and they were spot on very well balanced especially her long Island ice tea best I've ever had and i only waited at most 1 min for her to get back to me she is very obsevant and seen when my glass was empty i did not need to even get her attention!!! All in all fine establishment friendly staff even the manager asked me how everything was and i only had good things to say so stop by and always remember tip your bartenders!!!!“

“Great music, great vibe, great people! Visited while in New Jersey for my birthday weekend. Ronnie, the lady tending the bar welcomed us like we were regulars. There was no drama of any kind, just people having a good time on a Friday night!
The kitchen was closed but we ordered food through DoorDash…
Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area!“
