    “I went for the very first time for New Jersey Deathfest and found it to be the ideal venue for hard-core and metal. The sound is actually top notch and the staff is very friendly. The gritty decor and atmosphere is very reminiscent of a lot of the noteworthy DIY venues I used to go to in NYC during the 90's for metal and hardcore shows which made it all the more nostalgic for me. I would definitely return here for another show in the future.”

Plenty of draft beers to choose from, full bar for you mix drink folks. Definitely will be going back. New Jersey Joe 👍🏼😀”

    330 Long Ave, Hillside · 5.48 miles

    “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.”

    “I stopped by Riverside Inn Bar one evening around 7:30 PM to meet a few friends after work. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of seating and a nice mix of locals enjoying the evening. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and an ice-cold soft drink, and everything came out hot and fresh in about 15 minutes. The burger was juicy, the fries were crispy, and the portions were generous. Our server was friendly, checked on us throughout the meal, and made sure we always had what we needed. We stayed for a couple of hours talking and watching the game, and the overall experience was enjoyable from start to finish. It's a great neighborhood spot to unwind, grab a good meal, and spend time with friends.”
