“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“

“A Ridgewood classic! Great beer selection, great bar food. Our group has been there for several happy hour events. Always live music. The tent makes outside dining great year round. Drinks with freinds or burgers with the family, you gotta go!“

“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! ❤️🎶🍻“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Excelente restaurante . Excelentes atenciones . La comida Exquisita . Lo recomiendo cien ? por ciento!! Ven y disfrútalo ..“

“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.“

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

“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..“

“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.“

“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)“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.

I went with two friends and this place is on the smaller side, which I love. all the drinks I got were great and at reasonable prices; also the bartender on duty was very nice and personable. I cannot recommend this place enough and I cant wait to go again :))“

“Great bar! Came in after having a rough day. Sat down and saw around 30+ men go downstairs into the basement. So I got my beer and followed them and saw a full on fight and For some reason there was guy who kept talking. something about rule number 1. You don’t talk about fight club. Whatever this is a great bar will be coming back“

“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?“

“la recomiendo 100% es un ambiente muy entrenado.“

“(Translated by Google) The best salsa matinee, with the best sexy DJ, great atmosphere, the best drink specials. I love this place❤(Original)El mejor matinee salsero, con El mejor Dj sexy, muy buen ambiente, los mejores especiales en bebidas. Me encanta este lugar❤“

“The drinks aren’t expensive and it isn’t watered down. Bartender and owners are cool and are always looking around to make sure everything is good. Hookah is also available upon request. Not many hookahs are available, so it first come first serve. The place is a bit cozy, i wish it was bigger inside. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much, but the vibes and staff are cool. They play a lot of reggae and hip hop but depending on the crowd, the DJ willMix it up.“
