33 Best Bars near Rockaway

“My beautiful lady and I were there today this is one of my favorite staples in Rockaway. We went for the Breast cancer fundraiser today, and it was an absolute perfect turnout for a wonderful cause of someone in need. I absolutely love the staff there. Today we were greeted by Lisa and Rob. They served us right away and with a smile. Lisa is top notch, and Rob too. Later Ashley came in the evening shift, she’s great also and top notch as well. Bridget and George are awesome, perfect owners who treat their customers like family. Food is fantastic, and service as well. You make alot of great friends there, as alot of wonderful people go in and out of there. Very friendly atmosphere. Great place to watch all kinds of sports, phenomenal specials, and a fantastic patio area with a tv where you can relax and enjoy yourself. We had such a fantastic day. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend Mill Lane Tavern. You will not regret it! 😀👍“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.

Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

Thank you Dan and your entire team.“

“We had a wonderful event today at The Exchange"s banquet facilities. Food was fantastic!! Only thing better then the food was the hostesses. Very attentive, and very helpful. They made the function run tha much smoother amd made my day that much easier. But did I mention the food...my guests have not stopped reaching out to me saying how muched they loved the food. If your looking for a place to have a function 100% would recommend The Exchange in Rockaway.“

“Run don't walk to this place. We wish came here sooner. It has been our summer go to this year. The nachos are to absolutely die for! Drinks are delicious. Bartenders are sooooo sweet!! 10/10 perfect spot for some outdoor drinks, and a beautiful view. Oh it's raining? No problem. Darts and shuffleboard downstairs and a huge TV. I cannot rave about this place enough and have told anyone willing to listen about it ?“

“variety of food and a fun staff.“

“Love the ambiance and the food is delicious… would highly recommend.“

“This is literally the divvy-est bar in all of NJ. Possibly America.I was shocked to find soap in the bathroom tbh. But it was amazing. This place is where dreams are made. This is what Karl Marx and other less aggressive socialists wrote about. This is a place where we can all come together despite your socioeconomics, education, or any other dividing factors and just be. Amazing. I’d give this place 6 out of 5 stars.Also, karaoke every other week.“

“Simply put, Charley's is the best outdoor hangout spot on/around Lake Hopatcong! Rented the Game Room Bar for a social with family and friends, and I honestly can't recommend it enough! The food was hot and delicious, awesome drinks, fantastic live music, yard games, and first-class people! The team of Amanda Lear, Amanda ODonnell Braico and Andrea were outstanding! Provided excellent professional, friendly service to make sure all of my guests were comfortable the entire evening. Lots of menu options to choose from on the catering menu (the wings are a must!) as well as flexible bar pricing packages to fit any occasion. It's truly a welcoming place that is always on my short list of options for a quick cold one, lunch or heck the whole evening! I'm already looking forward to the next Game Room social! Thank you again Team Charley's!!!“

“Best place to wash your dirty laundry 🤪“

“A friend recommended The Miner’s Apron. We were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, nicely done cocktails, and very good food. Everything was spot on. We plan to return.“

“A great friends eventThey choose VINE Restaurant in Basking Ridge to cater the food and supply the staff. Event was amazingThe Kellogg club is an old mansion in the heart of Morristown you have to be sponsored to have events hereThey are also a small swim club in the summerYou either join the club yearly and then pay a fee to rent out the facility for the nightOutside catering etc must be provided“

“It's a great place to go eat if you're looking for a new happy hour hotspot. The pricing is unbelievably affordable. They also have daily specials (i.e. $15.00 15oz. steaks on Wednesdays) and a (legal) indoor dinning area, as well as an outdoor dinning area. Definitely stop by, if you're looking for a new place to eat.“

“Fresh, creative, food, fabulous coffee. I had a wonderful empanada but want to come back and get a dessert crepe— everything was immaculately clean and the service was friendly.“
