50 Best Cocktail Bars near West New York

“My husband raved about this restaurant. He hadn't been in 15 years, so when we came back to visit family in New Jersey, we had to stop. We live in Ohio and rarely get to eat authentic El Salvadoran cuisine. This was my first time having it and it was by far the very BEST meal I've ever had. We ordered the churrassco steak, plantains, maduros (sweet plaintains), rice & beans, guacamole, yuca and the famous pupusas. The service was Impeccable and the food was delicious!! Everything was so fresh & flavorful. Horchata, chan & limonada drinks. We skipped photos, but presentation was excellent. We dug right in. I highly encourage everyone to put this local gem on your list of places to try“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.“

“We decided to drop in for a nightcap before returning to the city, eager to sample the highly praised cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a bit of tardiness, I highly recommend the "Scent of a Woman" cocktail. Although my partner found "Josephine Noir" a bit too sweet.

We also got the tuna tartare to share - the portion was small and it lacked flavors. The item was unexpectedly expensive at $23. We were a bit taken aback by the prices, as they seemed to be comparable to those in Manhattan.“

“The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.“

“Nice cocktails & stunning View!!!“

“Great place to watch the sunset over NYC! Great drinks and good food! Excellent service.“

“I LOVE THIS BAR SO MUCH. I have been coming here forever after work and I celebrated my birthday there the other day. The staff (KC, Skai, Molly, Kate, Cyllan, Cory, literally everyone who was there) were so accommodating and made sure that my night went by smoothly. Drinks were amazing, service was fast despite it being a busy night. I reserved the back room for my lil party and it was actually perfect. Music was lit and the DJ was great. Me and my group had so much fun and it was the best birthday I’ve had in a long long long time. Absolutely spectacular.“

“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.“

“Amazing food and drinks!🥤“

“This place is fire!

First of all, wow the decor. The bar itself is a whole experience that clearly had a lot of thought put into it. From the unsuspecting entrance requiring you to ring the doorbell all the way to the funky seating area with sexy devil pictures and a ceiling covered in string lights, you genuinely feel transported into another realm. Some of the drinks even come with dramatic effect! (Even the bathrooms are in on the atmosphere - and clean!)

Of course, you come for the atmosphere and stay for the drinks. There's a little of something for everyone, and the alcohol in these drinks mean business! I appreciate that they rank the strength of the drinks, as there is a notable difference even between the 2 and 3 skull ratings. Although the drinks may seem pricy, the size of them makes it well worth it and they certainly don't skimp on the liquor. And who doesn't want their drink with a side of fire?

I could've easily stayed at Paradise Lost all night, and my partner and I are very excited to visit again soon!“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“Great presentation. Great drinks. Great service. Overall great experience 😎“

“Ever wanted to drink in an old pirate ship but can’t make it out to Anaheim, Phoenix or San Fran? Sunken Harbor is for you. Seriously though, we finally made the pilgrimage to SH in Brooklyn, last week, and couldn’t have been happier.

We arrived just as the place was opening and realized that we might be in for a wait as there was already a line waiting to get into the hidden bar. Everyone at the front desk was friendly and they took our number and told us to expect an hour wait. Nobody batted an eye when we took up refuge in the corner (it was cold outside), and we were greeted with a text telling us our table was ready about 40 minutes after check in.

The bar is located above another fancy restaurant and holds maybe 35-40 people max. The whole place is designed like an old ship, with tons of amazing woodwork and nautical stylings.

Even though the place eschews the term tiki, you know you are in the right place when you see the Tiki Ti and Frankies Tiki Room stickers behind the bar. Speaking, of the bar, drinks were flawless. I had a traditional mai tai and it was a perfect melding of rum and sweetness, without the oppressive taste of cheap liquor. I didn’t have the food, as we were not able to stay too long, but they had an impressive menu of apps.

Sadly, there were no mugs available for sale, but they did offer some fancy zombie and Mai tai glasses, as well as pins.

I know Brooklyn is a haul, but we were able to find free street parking on a Saturday night,

Highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a perfectly made cocktail in NYC.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Haswell Green’s. Fun drinks, great service …will absolutely be back for happy hour!“

“Best Gin & Tonics in the city!!!“

“Really good food! I like the menu, it’s classic Thai but has a few add ons that make it special. The price point is fair as well. Interior is really nice and staff are very attentive. Wish they left water pitcher on the table because ours had to be refilled 4 times. But it was nice to have ye staff coming over to re-fill.“

“It’s the only restaurant by far both their drinks and food are outstanding!! Their drinks are so creative and pair so well with their food!! Service is excellent !! Looking forward to go back again soon.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Craft cocktails in a cozy colorful outdoor patio. The perfect place to relax after a long week!“

“This is not ordinary Chinese-restaurant food; the dishes are sophisticated and delicious. Great combinations, spices, vegetables. Okra crunchy outside, soft inside. Eggplant hot and peppery, cold chicken chopped with bones in. Never had Szechuan like this. We try to go as often as we can.“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Food was good but menu was little confusing. Tried to order a breakfast and got a sandwich. The food was good just as with most places in NYC shrinkflation hit here just as it did most others. That doesn't diminish the service or the quality though. I sat at the bar which is set up as classic American diner, which gives it a homey atmosphere.

Will visit again given a chance but not in the immediate future.“

“Always love coming to NYC and having a cocktail (or two or three) at The Up & Up!“

“We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu.

The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special.

The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“Ooh my goodness, I enjoyed. It was pricey but worth it. One of the best burgers I’ve had since I’m a picky eater the waiter was very happy to accommodate me the drinks were delicious as well.i will surely recommend the place. I will continue to eat there. The pl was very nice and clean ?“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“Lore is an absolute gem in Brooklyn! The food is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every dish tasting fresh and unique. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Perfect for a special night out or a casual dinner—highly recommend!“

“The food and service is amazing. We did the a la carte menu and had the wagyu pancit and the lechon. The noodle were delicious, we could have done a second order, but we had to leave room for the pork belly with crispy skin. Drinks were amazing too. We will definitely be back.“

“This happy hour was absolutely enjoyable! While the cocktails were a bit on the sweeter side, the ambiance and service more than made up for it. I’m really looking forward to them introducing some small plates or tapas options to complement the drinks in the future!“

“me and my bf walked in at 6:30pm on a Sunday and there was a good amount of people. maybe bc this was right before new year's and after christmas.

the music was loud and vibes were fun. the drinks tasted good! the fries were surprisingly deliciousssss, i am drooling thinking about it. the sliders were okay. staff was friendly.“

“Drinks and apps were wonderful before the show at beacon. We felt like we were in Europe. Fantastic! We will be back!“

“Very nice place for some good food and excellent drinks the atmosphere is beautiful for couple’s“

“Seoul Salon is such a trendy and aesthetic restaurant and the food didn't disappoint. I'd definitely recommend making reservations because it was all packed for a Thursday dinner. To start the meal, they give this crispy ramen cracker snack with a hot sauce drizzled on top and it was so nostalgic to the snacks I used to eat when I was younger. The whole menu looked so delicious, but I ended up trying the Soy Scallop with Gim Rice, Rose Tteokbokki with Gimmari, and the Seoul Salon Fried Chicken. The soy scallops were fresh and full of flavor. The Gim rice paired perfectly with the scallops as well. The Rose tteokbokki reminded me of eating a margherita pizza because of the cheese and basil toppings with the sauce. Iloved the Gimmari that came with the dish; it was nicely fried and dipping it into the sauce was perfection. The fried chicken took me by surprise. The batter was so crispy and airy and the chicken was so juicy and flavorful. The sauce had a good spice kick and it was only drizzled lightly on half of the chicken, so none of the chicken got soggy and it's great for people who can't handle the spice. Overall had a great experience at Seoul Salon. I would come back again and again.“

“Best cocktails, great bar staff“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“Absolutely love this place. Been many times. Consistent quality food and service. This is a one of a kind gem in Manhattan“

“Cocktail Magique show was a magnificent experience. Very positive, jaw dropping, interactive show that keeps you engaged throughout the 2 hour memorable performance.“

“Espectacular, la vista, la atención y los cócteles. Todo es perfecto“

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.“

“I enjoyed dining here. The service was good. Food was good. Blurriness mimosas and aperol spritz.“

“Transparently, I only came to meet a friend for one cocktail in the afternoon and she ended up being over an hour late due to an unforeseen circumstance, yet the staff was still so incredibly kind to let me sloooooowwwwly nurse my single iced tea and wait at a a cozy little table near the back until my friend arrived.
It was a quiet day there none the less without too many other diners. Whoever manages this team, does it well. Thanks for making my alone time, not feel so alone.“

“A standout cocktail bar that offers a refreshingly unpretentious atmosphere and a deep dive into the world of Italian Amari. Despite focusing on a single core theme, the drink menu showcases remarkable diversity. Prices are fair, and the overall experience is one of the most distinctive the city has to offer.“

“Dear Maud is my go-to brunch spot in Hoboken! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and cool, making it an ideal place to eat + chat with friends. Their drinks are solid, and the food is even better, with a great selection of dishes to choose from.“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“390 Social hosted our 65ish person wedding. Every step of the way, Dana was helpful, organized and reassuring. I was concerned about the space comfortably fitting all of our guests, and boy was my anxiety put to rest. The way Dana arranged the space was brilliant and left more than enough room for dancing, dining and mingling. The entire staff was kind, professional and helpful. Guests are still raving about the delicious food and cocktails. A guest who is sober was impressed with the non-alcoholic spirits and felt respected by the option to enjoy a fun, non-alcoholic cocktail. And Dana, a true girl’s girl, thoughtfully provided me with cloth napkins to fashion a bib to keep 390’s delicious bolognese sauce far, far away from my wedding dress.

390 Social is unique in its character and understated beauty, which allowed us the convenience to keep decor to a minimum. The space’s decor spoke for itself, especially the gorgeous live plant wall.

Having 390 Social as the backdrop for the most important day of our lives just feels right. We got to support a local business in our neighborhood that we love, we were treated with kindness and professionalism, and without exaggeration, it was nothing shy of perfect. We cannot recommend this space enough, whether for a weekend cocktail and bite to eat or a special event.

Dana and crew - thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️“
