50 Best Bars near Old Tappan

“Had an unforgettable evening out recently! The highlight of the meal was the branzino, perfectly cooked and then expertly filleted right before our eyes. It's not every day you get a show with your meal, and it definitely added to the experience. The waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was just right - cozy yet sophisticated. For anyone in search of a place with great food and an inviting atmosphere, this spot is a must-visit. Can't wait to go back.“

“Nico is the top bartender in the area, super knowledgeable on all the beers and food and goes the extra mile for you. Furthermore, the GM Sal is a great guy who also knows all there is to know about local beers and the food at Shannon Rose. Overall a great spot for all types of drinks and food! 10/10“

“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“

“This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else.Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there foodA very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went my cousins for dinner and coffee.Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated.The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering.Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplan Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak.The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price.The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it.The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly!We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat.We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good.This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal.***Keep in mind - Cash Only But the have anATM on site. Not a big deal.Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!“

“Have not been here in years. Service was amazing. Our server Tim was the best. The owner was so friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Atmosphere was family friendly and great for all ages. Very reasonably priced. Bonus- upstairs if you want to host a party. We will definitely be going back. We highly recommend the Firehouse“

“Food was good. The service was not. Our waitress did not smile much. She was playing with her cell phone when I approached to the service desk with computer and other billing stuff. She name starts with a C.I observed how she treated other customers, she was not warm nor smile either. I told myself, it was not me.“

“Great local place for lunch, after work, whenever, or like we recently did - take out. Friendly staff. They have been a mainstay of Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow since forever.Kid-friendliness: No loud music, not a "bar scene" with rowdy customers.“

“Gracias q las chicas que atienden el Catering Dept. Me ayudaron a elegir unos platos deliciosos para mi evento. La comida llegó caliente y muy rica. Fuimos con un bebé y estoy sorprendida con el buen servicio que nos dieron a pesar de que el bebé estaba llorando en el momento de realizar nuestra orden. Nos vemos pronto.“

“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“

“Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.“

“The Jazz Forum was a unique and special experience. Samuel Martinelli and his quartet are seasoned musicians with a delightful passion in their performance. They were outstanding . The service on the overall was on point . Courteous and inviting . The drinks and food are commendable .“

“Huuuuuuge Yard House fan - food, atmosphere, beers; awesome. The servers? Pretty hit&miss. Depends on if you like ordering your own stuff or if you need someone to come to your table and order for you.That's why service gets 3* and this place gets an overall 4*. Sometimes you get someone that just comes and refills your water and gets you napkins (which is perfect because food comes directly from the kitchen now) or you get someone who treats you like a child and kills your whole vibe.Best deal at this place: go on a Tuesday between 4:30 and 6, get 50% apps and happy hour. Then walk 50 feet across the mall and go see a $7 movie at AMC with your cheesecake creme brulee you brought with you (which you better clean up and throw out after yourself) then head home nice and sobered up:)“

“I had such a great brunch there. The breakfast burger was amazingly delicious. The staff was friendly. Pleasant place to go eat. Then I ended up taking my cousin there for lunch a couple weeks later. I recommend this restaurant to all!“

“I am mad at myself for not coming here sooner. The food, drinks, service, ambiance - 10/10. They really did a wonderful job with this place. I haven't been this impressed with a place in a long time! Everything on the menu is delicious and on top of that, the cocktails are very reasonably priced. Cash only - ATM onsite if you forget. We are so happy to find a new place that we love!“

“Tommy Fox's Public House in Bergenfield, New Jersey is a cool bar that has that cool Irish pub feel to it. The service was friendly and the customers were pretty friendly here, as well. I did not try any of the food, but it looked to be what you would expect from a bar. This is definitely a cool.place to gather with some friends and overall, I would recommend here.“

“Spoke to Danna and she MADE OUR NIGHT!!! I came with a friend to have a few drinks and she took time to joke around with us. She is super funny and friendly and very attentive. Please give her a comedy spotlight!!!! ? she definitely added to the friendly atmosphere.“

“I'm surprised that I have been living in the area this long and have not been here until now! Went for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The waitress Melissa was very friendly and helpful. The vibes were as if I were at a rock bar without the drunkards. And the food was incredible! Rony made us the juiciest burgers (even better than what I was craving) and personally came to our table to ask how we were doing. 10/10, definitely recommend!“

“Big group of us (over 20) called in for breakfast before a match in Gaelic Park. Service, cleanliness and staff hospitality were second to none, before I even mention the food. Breakfast was so good we called back after the match for dinner. Even though it was very busy the staff, accommodated us and the food was excellent, would highly recommend for both food quality and price. Special mention to Danielle who couldn't do enough to make our two visits to the Whlistin Donkey very worth while.“

“Great place great people. I attended a function for Disabled Veterans it was Great ! We had raffles,great food. And the Volunteers were the best they had speakers that spoke to us not at us.

“Our dining experience at Houlihan's restaurant in Paramus, NJ, was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable evening.The menu offered a great variety of options, and each dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. I had the stuffed chicken breast accompanied by asparagus and mashed potatoes, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. My son thoroughly enjoyed his chicken wings and fries, while my wife savored her top sirloin steak paired with a loaded baked potato. Our friend visiting from Ireland, a lovely lady, was delighted with the fish and chips, which she claimed rivaled those back home.The quality of the food was exceptional, and the presentation was equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully plated, showcasing the care and attention to detail that went into its preparation.The service at Houlihan's was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable.Overall, our dinner at Houlihan's was a resounding success. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere made for a great evening out. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in Paramus, NJ, look no further than Houlihan's. Highly recommended!“

“I had Portuguese and Italian food catered by Lusitania this past Sunday for my Bridal Shower and all 70 of my guests were raving about the delicious food. As always, the take out experience is just as great as dining in. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“Our annual company luncheon and award ceremony at Harvest on Hudson exceeded all expectations once again! From the initial organization to the last bite of dessert, the service was nothing short of exceptional. The manager and staff were incredibly attentive throughout our entire meal, ensuring that every detail was taken care of to perfection.The portions were plentiful, and the appetizers, particularly the polenta and calamari, were simply delicious. Each dish, from start to finish, including the drinks and dessert, left us thoroughly impressed and satisfied.A picturesque backdrop for our luncheon with breathtaking views of the Hudson River & charming decor with the cozy fireplace added an extra touch of warmth and ambiance to the atmosphere.Harvest on Hudson continues to be our go-to choice for company events, thanks to its impeccable service, outstanding food, and picture-postcard setting. We look forward to returning next year for another memorable luncheon!“

“Cute tavern! We have gone back now multiple times. They are so accommodating/knowledgeable with gluten free! There are only a few items that you have to call ahead for 24 hours. But almost everything on their meal is gluten free. I LOVE the turkey shepherds pie with sweet potato mash on the top. And they carry gluten free cake from the local bakery. We also asked about sodium accommodations for my FIL, and the owner said that it could easily be done. So happy to support this business.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and low sodium“

“So the place is very authentic with their brick walls. We were seated right as we entered, less than 3 minutes later our server came over to get our order. I had the Alehouse nachos, it was different and tasty (wish they had guacamole to it) , my partner order the cheeseburger egg rolls which came with coleslaw which was nice and crunchy. We then ordered wings, I was kinda sad bc I told her we wanted fries ad well but I guess over the loud sounds she couldn't hear us. I had the mild Buffalo and Thai chili wings, my partner had the jerk wings and as a born Jamaican their jerk wings are official!!!! Seasoned and spicy. Overall the experience was nice, great place to grab a quick bite and watch a few games and drink beer or wine ladies.“

“The food was excellent, and the service was great. Sangria was really superb, even though the portions of the food were not so big. The ambiance is so nice and cozy.I'm definitely going back soon!!!!!Parking: Finding a parking spot close to the entrance of the restaurant can be difficult, especially on busy hours like dinner time.“

“I like Nellie's in Waldwick because they great thin crust pizza and wings to eat. I like their thin crust pizza, wings, Caesar salad, Irish nachos, and their pasta. The staff at Nellie's are very nice. Nellie's is the best pizza place in Waldwick!!“

“Well, hold onto your taste buds, folks, because Moriarty's on McLean Ave is not just a pub - it's a flavor explosion that deserves a galaxy of stars! I'd give it 10 stars in every category if I could, but let's not break the star system.Now, let me tell you about the owner, Peter. This guy is such a gentleman that I was tempted to steal him and take him home as my personal butler. I mean, how often do you find a pub owner who's basically a living, breathing embodiment of class and charm?I've trotted around to more pub restaurants than I can count, but Moriarty's is the real deal - a MUST-GO! The server was like a culinary Wikipedia, dropping knowledge bombs about the menu that left me feeling like a foodie genius. And don't even get me started on the runners - they were so fast, I'm pretty sure they could give The Flash a run for his money. No, seriously, they were faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer.Now, let's talk about the food. It's not just a meal; it's an invitation to a flavor fiesta that will make your taste buds do the cha-cha. I tried combinations I never even knew existed, and let me tell you, they could choke a horse. I'm not saying I tried to feed a horse, but if I did, I'd take them to Moriarty's.In conclusion: GO THERE!!!! And if you're not on your way already, you're missing out on the tastiest adventure of your life. Grab your fork, put on your running shoes, and get ready for a flavor marathon at Moriarty's - where even the horses would give it a thumbs up if they could!“

“Great food and a serious historical location. Chateaubriand was top notch. Dessert torte was likewise excellent. Staff was friendly. My only complaint was the live music was too loud. I'm a musician and would never have my levels that high. Was difficult to have a conversation.“

“The food was great! I ordered the pub nachos. It was an appetizer, but it can feed 2-3. I ate is as my dinner and there was plenty left for my family to taste. The service was also amazing. We were a party of 7 and the waiter gave us excellent service.“

“Ordered a quick snack... Chicken empanadas... Crispy and stuffed... And the poblano molé inside and on the side was savory sweet and delicious.So good. Need more next time!The loaded nachos were definitely loaded....And a very good size.Took less than 20 minutes from order to delivery.Next time will be trying the birria tacos!Thank you!“

“Took my mom here for her birthday. The food is exquisite and the ambiance cannot be beat. I truly felt like I was in Paris for an hour. The octopus and the mussels were divine. And the special lamb sirloin was delectable. Best potatoes au gratin I’ve ever had.“

“As a regular of Inwood Local, I can confidently say it's not just a place to grab a drink or a bite to eat; it's a second home, a community hub, and a testament to the power of great hospitality. The moment you step through the door, you're greeted with a welcoming warmth and familiarity that instantly sets the tone for a memorable experience. It's also a sanctuary where productivity thrives. Let's start with the food. Their menu is a delightful fusion of comfort classics and inventive dishes that never fail to impress. Whether you're craving a hearty burger, a flavorful salad, or some delicious bar snacks to share with friends, there's something for everyone here. The quality of ingredients shines through in every dish, and the chefs' attention to detail is evident in every bite. And then there are the drinks. Oh, the drinks! Let's highlight the impressive selection of beers on tap and the carefully curated wine list, ensuring there's always something to suit your taste. But what truly sets Inwood Local apart is the atmosphere. It's the kind of place where strangers become friends, and regulars become family. The staff here go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, whether popping in for a quick drink after work or settling in for a leisurely evening with friends. The cozy interior and inviting outdoor patio provide the perfect backdrop for intimate conversations and lively gatherings, and the live music and events on special occasions only add to the charm. In short, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit - you won't be disappointed! #keepitlocal“

“Pretty cool place to go. Have some fun and listen to music and dance the night away. Parking can be a little tough but not impossibleThe place is clean and the bathrooms are clean. There are two rooms for dancingUsually the back is latin and the front is house musicFriendly staff, price of drinks are averagePay a visit Friday or Saturday so far I believe they provide music ?“

“Oldest bar in the Bronx, bartender and all the regulars rule. Great drinks, borderline best value-for-the-drink on the basics in the whole friggin' city. I couldn't get ahold of anyone via phone or online to confirm they were open at 8 am like Yelp said (they were, turns out!), otherwise I would have been there earlier.“

“We went to the 101 Pub to watch a Knicks game and the bartender was extremely accommodating. Tim put the game on for us on the TV in front of us. They have many TVs at the bar. We ordered some spicy chicken tenders which were delicious! Tim kept replacing my beer as soon as I was done. Very chill bar for both families and just groups of friends.“

“So we were told this place has amazing steaks and it was hard to be in a Irish pub and not get traditional Irish food but we got the steaks as recommended I got the 16oz and my wife got the filet and shrimp special the food was good, not going to say it was the best I ever had or the the worst, we will leave it as it was good . One of my frustrations was that the peppercorn sauce was an additional, based on other places this is something that is normally included or at least can be added, $6 for a cup of sauce was pretty higher, on the other note the sauce was very good The service was good, waitress was attentive as much as needed and not overwhelming or absent. The ambiance is an Irish bar, on one note I would have preferred some Irish music playing vs the 80s music that they had going or on the tvs the news and something bloody. Overall a great experience!“

“I had the garlic chicken which came with white rice and French fries . Absolutely delicious and flavorful for a good price. Service was good and timed as estimated . The ambiance was vintage but comfy . I'll be back to try other dishes on the menu .“

“A group of my friends came here for a birthday dinner and we had a fantastic time. Frankie saw that we were interested in the building because the restaurant is built within an old bank with some Jersey history. So he gave us a little tour and was super hospitable. Our waiter was also excellent and professional. My table ordered burrata, garganelli vodka, sunday sauce, octopus, & salmon, and everyone was happy with their dish. The food, hospitality, ambience, staff, and service make for a great spot for dinner dates, celebration, or just a good time! Personal preference - I loved seeing the open concept kitchen in the back and the brick oven. It adds to the experience of dining and the kitchen doesn't seem so far away. As a food lover and home cook, I would love to sit closer to the back and see how the food is prepared :) Will definitely be back and highly recommend coming here.“

“My boyfriend and I LOVE going to this place! Great pool tables, amazing private karaoke rooms, delicious food & drinks. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We still come here even when we moved an hour away to have fun! 100% recommend — thank you!!!“

“This is a very nice spot. If you are a connoisseur of dive bars like I am, you will love the decor and vibe. The customers and bartender were all friendly. Price was about average I guess. Regarding food, they said they only had a small bar pie, and that limited menu sort of gave me the impression that it was probably frozen and heated up, so I passed on the food and just enjoyed a beer and the atmosphere. Definitely a nice spot to grab a drink though. Especially if you are a local in the area of this bar, I definitely recommend it. If you are a fellow dive bar connoisseur, put this one on your list, and unless you happen to be hungry at the time, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Go and enjoy!“

“This gem of a restaurant has earned its place as my all-time favorite Mexican spot in NYC. Not only does it serve up some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting, but it also pairs this culinary excellence with truly outstanding service. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between welcoming familiarity and a lively, fun atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're here for the exceptional food, the top-notch service, or to indulge in what might just be the perfect Margarita, its location near Van Cortlandt Park adds an extra layer of appeal. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Mexican dining in the city.“

“The food was the best. As a hispanic this is extremely authentic food and it is cooked to perfection. The service is extremely good and me and my family loved it. The waitress was the nicest guy out there. To be honest, I ordered a burrito and it came out so good. I I could I would eat there every day best Mexican food in the area?“

“Always a good time at Sportsman, reasonable prices, good crowd. Menu has the basics but is good. Real cheese steak sandwich, an actual price of meat. Signature sandwich is the moonburger - Taylor ham and cheeseburger together , delicious. Beers are cheap 1.50 drafts and 2.50 pints of bud, premium draft beers 3.50. Pool table, dart boards, lottery. Try it you will like the home town atmosphere.“

“Formerly at another location in Spring Valley, Little Vietnam has expanded its menu and its dining space-including outdoor seating. The menu and the specials were difficult to choose between; our waiter knew every detail of the preparation, and it all sounded appetizing. Finally we opted for our usual favorites: a Spring Roll appetizer, basa filet in a clay pot, and tempura-fried soft-shell crab. The basa was delicious with a dark, caramelized sauce and tender, sweet filets. The crab was meaty and crisp, served on a bed of greens and cilantro. I’m hoping for a return visit soon so I can eventually work my way throughb this great menu.“

“We had a delicious dinner Fried Calamari, Shrimp Scampi & Cheese Ravioli. We were all stuffed. Our Server Raphael was outstanding. He was very warm & outgoing almost as if we had been invited to his home for dinner. Raphael made our experience extraordinary!“

“Visited this establishment for a post rugby match social hosted by the local club. Plenty of room in the front and the back when you go inside and also space outside to sit down and watch the games. There must have been over 40 of us and there was hardly a wait time for the turnaround for your drinks. The bartenders were friendly and the bar top was kept busy with good pints of Guinness going back and forth. Plenty of parking off Street for your designated drivers.“

“Beautiful Irish bar in the Bx. I was there to play darts one night. I shoot in a league so we travel around. Dart board on site of course, and away from most people so you can play in peace. The drinks are reasonably priced as well and the bartenders are good too.“
