50 Best Pubs near Palisades Park

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“Donovan's is a cozy wonderful place to sit and relax and have a great meal! Once you walk through the front doors you are welcomed by caring friendly Staff, the service is top notch and the food is delicious. It's just such an amazing place ❤️“

“first trip to NYC. Stayed close by and just happened to walk in to what may be one of the best nights ever! The bar tenders were so nice! I felt like Id known them my entire life. We made new friends at the bar and spent the night singing and laughing. SO. MUCH. FUN“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“The food was delicious…more like beyond delicious! We were a party of 6 and got seated without much wait time. There was a bit of excitement when an adjacent table caught their bread basket on fire with the candle on the table. Highly recommend for date night or a group outing!“

“Great bar. Amazing staff and vibe.“

“Good, clean bar super close to George Washington Square …. Excellent barman and wide selection of drinks. We had buffalo wings and mozzarella bites for snacks. Wings were cooked well with a decent blue cheese dip. Would recommend stopping in if you fancy a drink.“

“The food is amazing! We had the mussels, Brussels sprouts, artichoke hearts, chicken, shepherd’s pie, fish sandwich, and burger. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was so much fun. Really had a laugh at the bathroom with all the googly eyes.“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Very chill and relaxed atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. These folks do buybacks (a dying practice in New York City). Bartender was very nice and cordial. Love the wall decorations, very old school. We drank a lot and the tab came to about $80. Highly recommended.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“Amazing food!! Great service“

“My favorite neighborhood bar when I lived on the upper east side. Miss late night drinking and darts �“

“My husband & I met there 46 1/2 years ago. Got engaged there the next New Year’s Eve & we’ve been married 45 years. We always visit when we come up to Jersey. I’m here alone this time but I’m going to stop in.“

“Good food and good beer! staff is very attentive and friendly!“

“Can't thank Kiara and crew at Tommy Fox's enough for hosting us on Feb. 25th! We love playing here and the atmosphere here is top notch! Put Tommy's on your "must visit" list for an evening of great fun, good food, and friendly service!“

“Great food, service and outdoor space! Highly recommend!“

“If you're a football (soccer) fan looking for the best pub in the area, this is the place to be! Whether it's the Champions League, World Cup, Euro Cup, or Premier League, this pub has you covered. The atmosphere is electric, perfect for meeting fellow die-hard football fans. Big games are featured with commentary, enhancing the experience.

In addition to the fantastic football ambiance, the pub offers a solid selection of draft beers and classic bar food, including burgers and nachos. For any football enthusiast, this spot is unbeatable!“

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

“Good food! Nice atmosphere!“

“Love Connie Os we are family“

“Music Bingo was such Fun!!!“

“Great local spot to grab a beer and a burger and watch a game. Made even better now that @shaingallagher has moved over from the Dark Horse which closed.“

“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“

“I’ve attended many birthdays and other special occasions in the main front room at Mug’s, and recently hosted a small get together on a Thursday night. The staff was super accommodating in helping me reserve a few high-top tables, especially given how last-minute my request was. The space is well laid out for gatherings of 20 to 25 people if you are looking to enjoy a bar atmosphere without having to be in a private room. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Been here a couple times and always a great experience! The locals are awesome.. the bartenders are cool and the food always smells great.. I'll have to eat there one day.. the only thing that I dislike is the parking situation.. otherwise it's a great spot!“

“Been there a few times. I must say food is fantastic!!! The fish tacos and the southwestern chicken sandwich is a must try. They have different specials everyday. Friendly atmosphere, service is very attentive. Love trivia nights and live music on Saturdays. So far is my favorite place to go with friends and family. Great spot for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Highly recommended!!“

“Best bartenders in town. Feels like home. Always a friendly welcome... the atmosphere is always positive and you always will have a smile. Plus great happy hour deals and music..:“

“Excellent. Loved the service and the food. My first time visiting from Florida.“

“My crew stopped in for an early bite after work. The bacon cheddar burgers came quickly and were wonderful! Dermot, the owner, was just great. He sat and told us stories about his home in Ireland and how he got to this place. We work at the college around the corner several times a year and will definitely go back.“

“it was fun to be here i enjoyed so much.“

“chill spot. nice bartender. good music.“

“Great staff, Great service, Great prices, always friendly and the security is always on point to make sure you are safe and comfortable.“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“Great, friendly neighborhood establishment“

“Karol's Pub is a hidden gem. They sell Zywiec, which is great Polish beer, smooth and incredibly potent. The walls are covered with cartoon murals, there's a pool table in the back, a dart board, and an awesome digital jukebox. Karol himself is a great, easygoing funny guy. The bar has plenty of regulars, and DJs on Friday nights. They don't sell food, however they have menus from nearby pizza places available and you can order delivery to the pub.“

“Great Staff.... Excellent Food...“

“It's in my opinion one of the most famous Irish bars in the Bronx. Almost every great Irish performer has been to this pub more than once. Paddy Reilly, Bagatelle and Niall & The Durty Nelly's to name a few...?It's a family run business and the staff are very welcoming. The burgers are also the best in the city, I kid you not.“

“I have very fond memories here, it was like a little home from home for me while I was bi Atlantic for 6 years, working on the same block as the Pig There are lots of “Irish pubs” in the vicinity, although this is the only one that felt like a real pub in the UK rather than a novelty in New York Hopefully I will be back again one day! Thanks for great times when I was missing home 🇬🇧 xxx“
