31 Best Pubs near Totowa

“We joined some family* here for lunch today. The bldg and the grounds were lovely looking. The inside has both banquet rooms for private events as well as a family feel bar and dining area. We were seated right away and the server was very prompt and friendly. Menu although not that large had a good variety. From appetizers and soups to full on entrees there was plenty to choose from. They had several specials to offer today. They are known for the burgers apparently. My aunt and husband both had the Swiss Mountain Burger. Both enjoyed them. Although the cooking between them was a bit different. My husband's was a bit pink IMO but he likes rare so didn't really care. My daughter enjoyed the penne and meatballs from the dedicated kids menu. It came with a drink and dessert. The portion was hearty and she loved the meatball! Dinner rolls on the table were amazing. Mini chibatta style that were crusty in the outside and soft and chewy in the inside. My uncle had the chicken cashew salad. Large salad although looked like only iceberg as the base. Overall filled with plenty of toppings. I enjoyed one of the salmon specials for today. I chose the grilled lemon pepper salmon. All entrees like this are served with either rice or potato and veggies. I had mashed which were very creamy and flavorful. The salmon had good flavor but IMO was cooked just a little too long. It was flaky but the edges seemed a little dry. Overall I'd recommend it but suggest asking for a medium cook. They offered a dessert menu although everyone was full and decided on just some specialty coffee. Most dishes were in the $15-25 range. Overall I'd recommend giving it a try. *Sorry for the lack of pics we were so excited to see our out of town family that I totally forgot!“

“The best turkey burgers I've ever had. The waffle fries are amazing! Such a fun place to grab a bite! The staff and service is amazing. Super kind and friendly. The overall vibe and ambiance is so cool and fun. A great place to grab a bite and drink with friends or go out to dinner with the family.“

“We went into the Shannon Rose on a thursday were they had a deal on select craft beers. This thursday me and my husband tried the fat baby orange kittens because of its funny name and were pleasantly surprised on how good it was! Our server Edgar was impressive with his service and attentiveness , really pleasant to be around.“

“We went last night with our friends for our Anniversaries, first time there, We were very pleased!!!!! Food was Delicious! Service was Awesome! And the atmosphere was warm & comforting We will be back!!!! Wish we knew about this place a lot sooner. I had the chicken Melanese ,which was absolutely out of this world. My husband had the whiskey burger which he loved. My girlfriend had the veggie burger which she loved, and her husband had the salmon which he enjoyed very much for appetizers. We had the Fried Calamari , which was very very good and very tender and the avocado toast, which was out of this world and I had the best white sangria I’ve had in a darn long time. ?????? it couldn’t have been any better. It was just perfect. Thank you. We will see you again.♥️ and our bill was not very high at all. The prices are good. Everything was perfect, the perfect place to celebrate our anniversaries.“

“Love this place! Great food, great drinks, service is always speedy and pleasant. Depending on what time and day you go you'll have a variety of different but interesting people to chat with, unless you just feel like people watching which is fine too.“

“River of Beer does a great job supporting the NJ Craft Beer Brewers. I just wish those same brewers would take their companies offerings more serious and treat it like the incredibly difficult market they are in rather than treat it like a hobby. We have over 200 breweries and just a handful of ones that can compete in flavor with some of the better North East brewers. We need better tasting beer in our backyard.“

“Just what it should be! Comfortable inviting local pub with great food. Wings, burgers, pizzas, salads etc. we ordered 2 kinds of wings, garlic parmesan and buffalo. Super crispy with the right amount of sauce for the flavor and not ruin the crispness!“

“My son and I visited JK's Boathouse for drinks and Thursday night Karaoke a few weeks back and enjoyed so much, I returned 2 weeks later. People are so friendly, lots of fun Karaokeers and Tabby the bartender MASTERS the bar and gets you your next beer before you know you're low!“

“Came here for Brunch this past Sunday from brunch reviews I’ve read. Although I had been here before, a happy hour years ago, I never got a chance to sit down and eat. Nestled on a quiet street in Glen Ridge, right off Bloomfield Avenue, its decor and charm reminds you of something from the Revolutionary era. We arrived at 1130 so it was pretty quiet which was enjoyable .First and foremost, our server Cynthia was incredible. Informative, funny and took very good care of us. My wife started out with a mimosa, myself a Bloody Mary. I personally did not like it, tasted like a watered down cocktail sauce. Food and drink are subjective so I’m sure others do enjoy it. I followed it up with an Irish Coffee over Ice. Was pretty decent. In to the food which had a nice selection, especially a lobster roll I couldn’t pull the trigger onMy wife had the Eggs Benedict and a Lemon Ricotta Pancake. She enjoyed both. I had the Flat Iron Steak w/eggs and fries. Was a nice piece, good char but was average at best, eggs were over cooked but was completely ok and the French fries, may just have been the best fries I’ve had in my life.Overall, 5 drinks, a soda and both the meals ended up being like $72 which is a win in itself for brunch. I’m definitely going to make my way back here and check out the dinner menu since I have read some great things.“

“This place is absolutely golden! They make great drinks and the food is honestly amazing. Drinks can be a tad bit pricey but they’re great cocktails! The service is top notch and plenty of seating! Def worth going if youre ever in the Nutley area!!Wings are great and nachos great“

“Very good food ! I was confused of what kinda of restaurant it is .. I didn't get the theme. But our waiter was amazing very personable and willing to make our experience the best!! I'm not in NJ often but when I am this is always going to be a good choice to eat at!!“

“Our new favorite place - Great food, Service, people and atmosphere! Kids like it, supporting local, win/win Pretzels, wings, Nachos - delish! Boom Boom Shrimp wrap Outstanding, Grilled chicken sandwich - Outstanding, Cheese Steak - Yum, and more - Plenty of delicious beers! Can’t say enough good things just try yourself!“

“The Barn is a hidden gem. Had an excellent dinner with the family. The place is just awesome, love the rustic atmosphere. The food was great - Philly cheese steak egg rolls appetizer and the full rack of ribs were excellent. The staff - top notch. Our waitress was amazing along with their runners. Thank you to The Barn for an excellent experience.“

“Honestly I only caught the place for the last hour of the night but I had fun and most importantly actually got that after work drink i was craving. Glad there are a few places open after the regular bar scene or staff (from other bars) would have nowhere to go and sit for one.“

“Great local vibes here with a solid food and drink menu. Great service as well. Outdoor seating in the warmer months. My only knock is the noise. They have brick walls in the inside which don't absorb sound. It gets loud when crowded, which makes conversation a challenge. Something to consider if that's important you. Also, live music can be very loud. I wish they'd dial the volume down a tad on their speakers.“

“JJs Pub is that neighborhood bar that is always welcoming if you're a regular or not. The service is superb. The bartenders are outgoing who are not only very friendly but are easily accommodating to making any drink order requested. The bar food is great and the atmosphere is adaptable. Great bar to visit during sports events.“

“Excellent Excellent, excellent. Everything was and is on point. There is a reason why this place is in business sooo many years. The wait staff was knowledgeable and charming. The oysters i had where fresh and delicious. The place is frozen in time, it gave me a 2940's vibe. ,,,“

“Just ordered a steak sandwich and French dip. Never got the au jus sauce so my gf drove back to get it and the owner comped the whole bill wow that was just unbelievably nice over a simple sauce. Accidents happen but to get rid of the whole bill for two entrees I am 100% satisfied will be going back for sure. Food was amazing btw 5 stars“

“If you are in the area, stop by this cash only bar. Friendly service, we met the owner Karol. Very friendly, we got to try some strong Poland Vodka. Got the job done! will definitely come back when we are in town. Thanks Karol for the beer opener, it will come in useful! You cruised with us at 41,000 feet.“

“The other day I got, La Galera Centro Americana Restaurant, for lunch. I ordered their Meatballs w/ Black Rice & Red Beans. It was absolutely delicious! I asked the lady for more veggies than rice, and she happily obliged. I really loved their Meatballs, and also the Red Beans. Excellent flavors to combine. The ladies at the front desk were really nice and attentive. It seems like a nice, quaint, family type of place to eat. And for just a little over $10 was a complete steal. I’d def try this place again, their other menu items looked phenomenal. I’d also recommend to anyone in the, City of Orange, area looking for some decent Spanish food.“

“One of the best places you can go to for food and drink , never a problem here , the food is killer, all the time , and taps are always super cold , the owner is one of the nicest guys you can meet , this is a lyndhurst staple in the community . Keep coming ..“

“I only gave the Atmosphere a 4 cause I haven't had a drink in here yet however, I did have the philly cheesesteak,the chicken tender platter and the nacho with Chilli and boy I tell you the food is on point so I can imagine the drinks. Customer service is awesome aswell I will definitely be coming back and forth when I'm in the area.Parking: Plenty available parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious ramp right in the front, very convenient.“

“Allendale Bar and Grill did a fabulous job for my daughter’s party. From the wonderful service to the delicious food, everyone was raving about ABG! The party was in the Connelly Room, which had a private bar and bathroom as well. Perfect day! Thank you!“

“Four of us for dinner, food was served in a timely manner,Danielle was our waitress very happy and polite ,had a problem with a drink we ordered she replaced it with no problem ?????Parking: We got there around 7.45 Saturday night there was a few spotsWheelchair accessibility: Did not use a wheelchair but did notice there was easy access,everything on level ground“

“Love this place. Good vibe with good food. This is our second time here and did not disappoint. Fresh fried mozzarella was really good. Not greasy either. I had the special stuffed sole and it was delish! My husband had the sliced steak which was okay. A little dry, not much flavor. Some garlic butter sauce would have been good. The drinks are perfect. The waiter exceptional!“

“Nice bar/tavern with good food and a ton of tap beer options. They have a bunch of specialty fry options as well to include salt and vinegar, parm, truffle and more. Service is fast and friendly. They do take reservations so I highly recommend doing that if not, prepare to “

“Drinks are cheaper than most bars and the crowd is mixed but respectful. No live music, but there is a jukebox and there’s a patio in the back with seating. Definitely a good vibe. Busiest after 9/10pm. Although they don’t serve food, you can bring food in. Still rate it 5 stars.“

“I always have a great time here, whether it's for drinks with friends, solo dinner or a date. The servers and bartenders are very friendly and down to earth. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Quality of food is very good. It's a little small, which never caused me any problems, but something to keep in mind on busier days. Someone here complained in a review that it's expensive for the amount of food that you get but you're paying for quality not quantity. Plus it's still cheaper than the overpriced restaurants in Rutherford, which seem to prefer status over service.“

“Absolutely lovely staff ; great location plenty of parking. A truly great selection of appetizers and entrees to choose from Everything looked delicious and I was happy to enjoy their none in rib eye perfectly rare! Thanks for the wonderful evening!“

“Only 1 of 2 happy hour in dry boring Livingston , been here for decades. Come to see Chris iconic chatty bar- therapist, attentive savvy staff as Lori , also regular menu unusually homemade with mussels, good Italian huge salads. Parties, bat mitzvah and other events show its local place of honor“

“Great staff, a wonderful rotating selection of tapped craft beers, best bar pies in Fair Lawn, all topped off by a cast of regulars that call themselves "Stoshanauts."Definitely is a must visit if you're down for a bar that's above being a dive, but not pretentious with real cool people that frequent the place.Parking: There's a few spots in the main lot of the place, but one can park in the office building lot across the street or at the gas station next door without any worries of being towed or ticketed.“
