50 Best Bar & Grill near West Orange

“food is decent
service a bit slow bc the bartender is busy at the bar so tables in dining room fall to a lower priority. makes sense though because they're not that busy.

it doesn't have the dive bar vibe it had before...“

“I attended a fabulous brunch for Black Women New Jersey, #BWNJ on Saturday.
My first experience at this establishment and I can't say enough positive things about the Food, atmosphere, staff and excellent service.
And the owner is a Weequahic High School Alumni, Go Indian, Orange and Brown. So hard to be a Weequahic Indian!
Had so many great food items! The Buffalo Califlower was amazing, and I typically don't eat Califlower. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“South Valley BBQ and Lounge definitely has a mature and comfortable vibe. Safe environment, good food and good people 💯“

“Great place to hang out with friends, food was ok , I ordered grill chicken and I needed to be more cooked inside , other than that everything was great , I would order something else next time but music and drinks was great , fun ambience would def recommend“

“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“Today we had the pleasure of dining at Blue 42 Restaurant and Bar, located at 158 Market St, Elmwood Park, NJ, and I must say it was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The security staff were particularly friendly and helpful, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe throughout our visit.
While our order did take a little longer to arrive than expected, it was truly worth the wait. Each dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It’s clear that the chefs at Blue 42 take pride in their culinary creations.
We ended up spending a total of $78, including tips, and I felt that the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justified every penny. The combination of great service and delicious meals makes Blue 42 a restaurant I would happily recommend to others.
If you're in the area and looking for a place to enjoy a meal, I highly encourage you to check out Blue 42. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“Great place sports plenty tvs good service“

“just fantastic food and service“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“Great service! You wouldn’t know they were short staffed.“

“The food was and always is Delicious never a disappointment and great service. Our waiter was awesome he interacted with our family.“

“Give this local place a try if you can. As you can see by reading the reviews the staff is so friendly, and welcoming, they take care of you. It’s not just a bar, there is a casual dining room, plenty of tables. The food is good, VERY GOOD!! I ordered shrimp and veg upon recommendation 👍👍. Others at my table had penne vodka with some great looking grilled chicken, and fish n chips. Bring your family or friends. A full meal thats more affordable than many places.“

“I was renovating my house over the summer and my kitchen was out of commission for four months. We ate lunch here practically the entire time. I NEVER had a bad dish! The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“Un excelente lugar y buena atención“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“We held a special birthday party for my husband in their private upstairs room and could not have been happier. The whole experience from start to finish was terrific. We had a smaller event and it's a pretty big room, but it felt just right the way the tables were arranged. We got in early enough to set up and everyone from management to the bartender and servers were as nice and accommodating as could be. I cannot say enough good things. If you are looking for a space for an event, look no further!“

“Great Place People are always friendly“

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.“

“Decades ago, I ate at this location weekly when it was "Eddie's Long Bar". I visited Pour Abbey's a few times. The inside has been COMPLETELY changed for the better. The food is very good and the service excellent. I am not in the area often but will stop here when possible. Well Done!“

“Historical spot. The woman in the B&W photo on the right is my Aunt.“

“Great food. Tiny place and if you go late on certain days you may not get a table. Staff is hit or miss. One day I witnessed three young girls working there standing behind the bar talking to each other and on their phones rather then tending to the customers. I do have to give support to the one young lady who eventually had to run the whole place herself till someone came to cover the bar. They should always have more than one person working the main dining area. If you want a good bar pie come here.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Westayed at the Holiday Inn before our cruise and liked the convenience of an on-site bar/restaurant. We were greeted by the friendly hostess. The restaurant had great modern vibe with good music & decor. The service was on point and our food & drinks were really good! Portions were generous & prices were reasonable especially for an airport near New York. We ordered the calamari to share which was my husband's favorite. Then he ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and I ordered the Mediterranean salad added falafel & house made blue cheese dressing & they also brought the vinaigrette which I am glad they did as it really made the dish. We enjoyed all of it! Would highly recommend this place!“

“Want to have a good food, drinks and vibes with great service. Well look no further, this is the spot right here. One of my favorite go to spot. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Check them out.“

“Deliciosa comida, rápido y buen servicio“

“Clean establishment, easy to fine, well lite sports bar/restaurant. It's more of a burger joint, meeting friends type place. Good pricing, good value. Friendly staff and nice owner. The best value is the prime rib dinner night. Get there early for when ribs are gone. It's over til next week.“

“Great vibe!! You will feel right at home!! It is a family owned and worked business so they take very good care of the place and it’s customers!! The food is really good!! The chicken franchise is my favorite… and so good!! Taco Tuesday also has BINGO! Good food and good vibes!!!?“

“Great place... I go for lunch all the time... Try the Cheesesteak... The thin crust pizza... Ceasar salad... & the Roast Beef is always Rare...The Staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome..So drinks at the bar or out on the patio.... It's a good time“

“Great place and great people.“

“I love this place. Great prices and you wouldn’t think so but the food is always delicious. I recommend anything on the special menu. The cook brings it out himself and clearly cares about your experience. I’ll always come back and recommend here.“

“The food is excellent. We had a family meal Saturday. The chicken and Ribs were amazing, so much food left over that we made fajitas to watch the Super Bowl. Thank you Sean, we will be back real soon.“

“el mejor ambiente! excelente atención y excelentes precios 😜“

“Buena comida , buen ambiente, excelente atención, calidad“

“Excellent Food and Service ❤️“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“La pase muy divertido boy a regresar con todas las chicas.familiares y amigas.“

“Muy buen citio y trankilo y las niñas son muy amables les recomiendo y la misica es la mejor de Elizabeth en morris ave“

“From the moment you walk in - the warm welcome from the awesome staff to the very chic decor and once the food came - The salmon was The Best Salmon - cooked to perfection accompanied by a salad. A fun night and don’t miss the entertainment #funfunfun @lindaslist“

“Great music, great vibe, great people! Visited while in New Jersey for my birthday weekend. Ronnie, the lady tending the bar welcomed us like we were regulars. There was no drama of any kind, just people having a good time on a Friday night!
The kitchen was closed but we ordered food through DoorDash…
Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area!“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“We went on a football Sunday afternoon. It was crowded, but there was seating. Nicole was incredible, quickly serving us, getting our orders, making recommendations and providing excellent service. They had fantastic beer and drinks specials, and they have specials during the week as well. The food is American bar food and was great value for the price. Thoroughly had a great time catching up with friends over a couple pitchers of beer, wings and apps.“

“I have been going there for over 27 years. Great place!“

“We got laid up on a flight and ended up at this awesome pub. Carl is a champion! We didn't expect to stay for more than one and one. Two more later. We are going to remember this place and I hope we see you again.“

“my go-to spot for football or late night drinks with coworkers! watch any sports game you want, food is amazing, the owner is amazing and accomodating, and i'm always happy with the selection of seltzers / beers on tap. i love the live music nights and football sundays - great neighborhood vibe“

“A staple in the North of Newark. Definitely a locals spot with a ever growing clientele. this spot looks small in the front but it has a banquet hall, pool table and bar area. If you go by, say "hi" to Cheito (the owner). Tell him "Nani" sent you ;)“

“HEY, this is from all your street neighbors around you. we all love your food and we would appreciate it if you could PLEASE lower the music decimals that are required by law after 10 pm. We understand you have a business to run but the music is WAY too loud to be playing up until 2:30 in the morning. Some nights it seems IMPOSSIBLE to sleep by how loud the music is. Not to mention Subwoofer speakers in that small space is absolutely NOT needed.Please turn it down.“
