50 Best Bars near Paramus

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“This is my go to place when I have a large group to entertain. Our server was great and very professional but very personable as well. I ordered a coconut mojito and it was literally a glass of ice with a drop of coconut and a sugar stick that had seen better days. I told our server it was terrible and I got another one it was still awful and I couldn't drink it. It was very disappointing since I've had them before and they were good. Our food was great and we celebrated my friend's birthday with a special dessert . They need a new bartender those drinks were terrible! I shouldn't had to pay for those drinks but I was charged anyway. I'll have to think twice about going back“

“I was really impressed with the way I was treated and the food was really good and that new burger was great Thank you Chillis Great experience“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“did the work, bought the shirt! awesome space!!“

“Love The Notch! Can’t wait to see what great bands will be playing there this year and the new friends I’m bound to make! The Notch Family keeps growing! If you haven’t been there yet…… get to it! ❤️🎶🍻“

“The Hamilton is a cozy, warm, bar with an excellent selection of whiskeys. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you find the perfect cocktail for your tastes. Joe, one of the bartenders, also host a a rotating exhibition of different artists about once a month. You can get a perfect Manhattan and a piece of artwork for your livingroom. 😊“

“We have been going to Felinas since 2019. Chef Joe, Frank, and the entire staff make us feel like family. We have many personal and professional occasions celebrated there and will continue to do so. Thank you, Felina Ridgewood“

“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!“

“I have been living in the USA for 10 years, I have visited many places and even in Texas they don't serve such delicious, juicy butlers... the service is so great that I could sit there all night and not leave. I highly recommend it and I will definitely come back for more bathing... thank you for everything, you are great“

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

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

“This place was fantastic! I went for the Harlem Bomb Shelter open mic night and had an amazing time. The drinks were great! I had the wings that night and they were so meaty. I loved the atmosphere, it is a bit small, but not tiny. I hope to go for brunch next.“

“This bar is a hidden gem where exceptional drinks meet mouthwatering food. The cocktail menu is inventive, featuring both classic and innovative creations, while the food offerings are a culinary delight. The ambiance is inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates a top-notch drinking and dining experience.“

“Always top tier.musicians with jazz to soul and r&b feel. Cocktails are amazing and some of the specials are well. They have a late night menue! Don’t miss the jam sessions in the weekend! Love that it has history going sic to the Jazz greats.“

“It's Cool I liked when I went I attended to go again but I'm sick this week so maybe next week I'll be there“

“Reliable and reasonable Columbia U hangout spot. Great for events or watching the game, thr drinks are fairly priced and the food is great. If you want a cozier, neighborhood-ier, dive-ier vibe, head across the street to the Lion’s Head—but for getting a group together uptown, this is a good bet.“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“This was a really fun time it's exactly what we wanted. There was street parking but the lot of this place was full the whole time. Bathrooms were clean. Bartender poured serious drinks and had us singing by the 2nd round. It's always nice to have a private room to just sing out with friends. They are very popular so you may need to order some food and drinks if you want more than one hour but that probably depends on the day. Anyway I highly recommend this place, we will be going again. I know the room we were in was a little tight but I imagine they have larger rooms for more people.

Parking: There was parking but it was full we found spots on the street and I think the signs said after 7pm you're good.

Kid-friendliness: There were kids having birthday parties in other rooms we only saw passing in the halls

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think this was wheelchair friendly I know we took a small flight of maybe 4-7 steps at the entrance but that was it.“

“great place staff was awesome and the food was very tasty“

“Nikki herself is the best ?.
Food is amazing ,her staff is really cool ,Service is always super fast, Prices are great and The Music is always on point ??

Parking: No parking issues

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed. Of course before the party gets started at night.“

“I absolutely love Urbano Cafe Bar!!! The aesthetics are so cute and create the perfect atmosphere. The food is amazing—especially the chicken wings, which are a must-try no matter what sauce you pick. My personal favorites are the buffalo and sweet chili. The Urbano burger and fries are freshly made and delicious, and the tacos are packed with fresh ingredients. They also offer a great happy hour with the option to get a cubetazo of 5 beers!

The music selection is on point and perfectly complements the vibe, with tunes ranging from Earth, Wind & Fire to Ashanti. It really enhances the whole experience.

But honestly, the best thing about this place is the customer service. Ricky is incredibly attentive, sweet, kind, and super talented. He made our experience so much better. I will definitely be coming back again and again for the food, drinks, and especially Ricky's exceptional service!“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“All of the above, great place for sure!!“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“The staff was extremely helpful“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place. I always make a trip when I can for some tasty cocktails and good chill environment“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“Calling this restaurant a "hidden gem" would be a monumental understatement. We ate dinner here on a whim, and it turned out to be the best dinner we had during our trip to NYC. Everything we ate was phenomenal, especially the croquetas. The dining area is chic yet cozy, with mellow music at just the right volume. Finally, our waiter Ibai was easily the friendliest and most efficient server we've met in months; he made an already great meal into a fantastic dining experience. All in all, this place is absolutely top notch and very highly recommended.“

“An awesome family run business with excellent staff!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“This is my favorite spot!! The drinks are always great and the food is amazing! The freshest ingredients and the taste is literally unmatched! Linda is my favorite bartender she always remembers my drink and food order, always friendly and warm, and goes out of her way to make me my own olive oil sauce to dip the bread in!! Love it and highly recommend!!“

“Was on our way to another bar, "late" last night (not even Midnight) after having been turned aside by the Marriott but then drove by Andy's Corner and immediately pulled a U-ey.This place is a gem. The bartender is swell and the vibe is laid-back friendly.You might think "Dive Bar" (in the best possible way) when walking up to the front door, but what you get when you open the door is a Classy Establishment.To the backyard party-goers of Bergen County--- leave your block, for the love of Mike, and patronize this place. It's in your neighborhood, after all!!“

“Very crowded when first walked in however we went to the other side where the pool table is. They accomadated putting the game we wanted on by the pool table however the bartender/waitress was very overwhelmed so her response wasnt the best...Bar pizza was 8/10..fries regular...lemon pepper wings had a bad after taste...music was good (itunes)“

“I have visited with friends and family and have had a great time especially when there is live bands and dancing. Its a nice place and very clean. I celebrated my birthday with friends there and had a great time.“

“You probably know this already based on how many years on the raw I reviewed this spot. Same true feeling along the way to now. .The ub we call it for short ( we so familiar) is one of my neighborhood fav spots in the area. And I have lived on 149/150 th since 1996. if you told me the cute , cool vinyl spot it is now I would not believe you but it's real.. I love coming here to hang😁...“

“Went to Dog house yesterday. Found out the chef left. 😩 Food definately proved it. used to Love the cheesecake sandwich, but not today. Way too much Wostishire that overpowered the sandwich and steak sliced too thick. Very disappointed! And the very young bartender was very disappointing also. only 6 people there and not very responsive or knowledgeable!“

“Тне best local craft beer place. Always perfect beer selection“

“been going here for years. steak sandwich is awesome! we actually call it the steak bar.“

“This is the kind of bar that u see on an adam sandler movie where the music is great ppl playing darts the bar tender is cool as hell theres an american flag and the background and everyone is just getting along! Oh and try the wings and thank me!! LolWill be back!“

“If you’re smart and want to have fun for cheap I suggest and highly recommend coming here. Great place to come here if you want chill vibes with great prices. Drinks are cheap and the people there are welcoming. Music is up to date and also can be old school r&b! Also if you’re looking for aesthetic this place never fails to represent.“

“The beer and artisanal cocktails are amazing, along with the shrimp tacos!!! The vibe is downtown trendy and old school posh LES, but in Columbia land. 👍🏼“

“Muy buen lugar buena atención“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“
