12 Best Pubs near Sparta

“Came here with a coworker and will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent! Both the ladies that helped us were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was good as well! I had the french onion soup and the hawaiian pizza. The french onion soup was ok. Not the best I've had but not the worst. The hawaiian pizza was great though! The crust was excellent and the toppings were in good portion. As for the atmosphere, I arrived when the restaurant wasn't so busy so we had our choice of seats. We chose to sit in the area with lots of windows and sunlight and the view of the lake was beautiful (despite parked cars being in the way). I would definitely be coming back with other family and friends to try some other dishes.“

“Love this little dive bar. The food is amazing! They’ve got crazy awesome happy hour deals wed -fri. $3 domestics… like you’re not gonna find a better HH anywhere.There’s a super hot cook in the back with red hair and he makes the best burgers.Live music on the weekends, trivia and bingo during the week. Don’t sleep on this place, y’all.“

“I go once in a while they have a lot of regulars. It's a nice chill spot to have a few drinks and relax. Staff is great! I've never had a problem. Nice vibe even when I'm not drinking (I'm pregnant and still go with my bf so he can relax) but over all definitely recommend you check it “

“Went for our 16th anniversary and did not disappoint. Service in bar was top notch. Our server for dinner, Devin went over menu, specials and drink specials along with making several personal recommendations. Every recommendation he made was spot on. From the limited time Valentine’s Day drinks to the appetizer to the main courses. He was very knowledgeable about the menu in general and took the time to answer any and all questions. I had the New York strip steak with foie gras add on. Wife had Scottish salmon. We went with the delmonico potatoes and Brussels sprouts for sides. Simple yet sooooooooooooo good. I’d go back again just for the sides. THEY WERE THAT GOOD! My steak was perfect (possibly best I’ve ever had) and my wife loved her salmon. We will for sure be back again. Thank you for a great evening.“

“This was my first time in here as it was for my tuesday night dart league. Its a small bar but as soon as i wakked in and had to get a drink, the bartender made it feel like ive going there for a long time. They do have a bar menu and its a mix of typical bar food/snacks and stuff you wont see at a bar too much. They offer pizza, hot oven pretzels, wings, tenders, fried raviolis, hot dogs, burgers, cheese steaks, buffalo tots (I was sucking on ice for an hour but it was good). So you guessed it, i enjoyed it.“

“Moved to Lake Hopatcong less than a year ago and still exploring the area. Went to McKenna's for the first time. What a welcoming atmosphere. Food was good, people were very friendly. Bob, the owner, bought a round of drinks and Kim, the bartender, was attentive and personable. 5 stars all around! Will definitely go back.“

“Tuesday is karaoke night. The bar is happening but not busy, the music is on but not unmanageable, and the drinks are good. I really enjoyed my time, and the drinks, and the service. I'll only knock the fact that the menu doesn't display prices and the "not IPA craft selection" is pretty bad. Which I know is a tall ask but for 20+ beers is a little bit disappointing.I would totally go back.“

“Cozy bar with reasonable prices! We stayed in a newly opened Cobmin Ridge Motel. The best motel rooms I have ever seen and I travel a lot! Very modern. I wish the bar from inside and out is more updated. Its a great busy road and this business can make so much more money with some simple updates.“

“This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments!“

“We went in June and were very disappointed, I reached out to the owner to let them know my complaints. They asked us to try them again. Last week we went back and I’m happy to say I had such a great time & meal! The owner revamped everything and it shows! We look forward to going back. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, and 2 different burgers. Both burgers were cooked perfectly and the mozz sticks were so good!“

“Love this cozy Irish pub! Friendly service and the cutest restaurant. I love all the pieces of history they have decorating the pub. Tons of Irish fare on the menu which is fun. The Irish coffee is fantastic!! We also got the clam chowder which was some of the best I've ever had.“

“Charley's Tavern impressed me with their prime rib—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a true delight for the taste buds. The inviting atmosphere and attentive staff further enhanced the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Charley's for a fantastic meal!“
