50 Best Bars near Westwood

“So every time we go to Caffe Anello, we seem to have a "best ever" moment. Like "this was the best we ever had". The other night it happened again. The tomatoe soup appetizer was honestly amazing and the best we've ever had. But its also the little things. the olive oil is the best ever. the meatballs are the best ever. And the rest of our meal was fantastic. the artichoke appetizer, salmon and dirty pork chop were all really well prepared. And the service is always the best ever. But what makes it so special is that whenever we walk in the people there make us feel like family. It feels like Sunday dinner at home. All combining for a "best ever" dining experience.“

“Nico is the top bartender in the area, super knowledgeable on all the beers and food and goes the extra mile for you. Furthermore, the GM Sal is a great guy who also knows all there is to know about local beers and the food at Shannon Rose. Overall a great spot for all types of drinks and food! 10/10“

“My good friend and myself stumbled into Dolce Vita not too long ago when it was the only restaurant in Nyack that was opened very late. We struck gold. We have been back several times and the food, the service, the owner, the atmosphere are the very best . All are wonderful.“

“Luka's is my go to place on Saturday nights, had family up from Florida on Wednesday so we went for dinner on Wednesday night. They had live music the service is always great, The food is outstanding and you always make you feel like you're part of the family.“

“Nice cozy dark place. The entrance to the restaurant was..interesting and the atmosphere is pretty dark. The food was great. We had the breakfast platter and the bacon tasted like pork belly. The pancake has more of a cake taste and was thick and airy. It was certainly a unique unexpected blend of flavors but good.“

“Never thought that there is a cool barn in town. My 1st impression was the woodenly rustic environment and decorations bringing the cozy vibe. Food and drinks were perfectly tasty. Our waiter that night was helpful and informative. This spot is voted for one of the most beautiful ones during the Christmas season. Can't wait to come back.“

“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“

“This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else.Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there foodA very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went my cousins for dinner and coffee.Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated.The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering.Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplan Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak.The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price.The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it.The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly!We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat.We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good.This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal.***Keep in mind - Cash Only But the have anATM on site. Not a big deal.Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!“

“Food was good. The service was not. Our waitress did not smile much. She was playing with her cell phone when I approached to the service desk with computer and other billing stuff. She name starts with a C.I observed how she treated other customers, she was not warm nor smile either. I told myself, it was not me.“

“Have not been here in years. Service was amazing. Our server Tim was the best. The owner was so friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Atmosphere was family friendly and great for all ages. Very reasonably priced. Bonus- upstairs if you want to host a party. We will definitely be going back. We highly recommend the Firehouse“

“Gracias q las chicas que atienden el Catering Dept. Me ayudaron a elegir unos platos deliciosos para mi evento. La comida llegó caliente y muy rica. Fuimos con un bebé y estoy sorprendida con el buen servicio que nos dieron a pesar de que el bebé estaba llorando en el momento de realizar nuestra orden. Nos vemos pronto.“

Despite high anticipation, every dish surpassed our hopes, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to the heart of Cajun cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the experience, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring our every need was met with a smile. From the perfectly seasoned boils to the succulent grilled seafood, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. Without a doubt, Crab Island stands as a beacon of Cajun culinary excellence, deserving of every praise.“

“Huuuuuuge Yard House fan - food, atmosphere, beers; awesome. The servers? Pretty hit&miss. Depends on if you like ordering your own stuff or if you need someone to come to your table and order for you.That's why service gets 3* and this place gets an overall 4*. Sometimes you get someone that just comes and refills your water and gets you napkins (which is perfect because food comes directly from the kitchen now) or you get someone who treats you like a child and kills your whole vibe.Best deal at this place: go on a Tuesday between 4:30 and 6, get 50% apps and happy hour. Then walk 50 feet across the mall and go see a $7 movie at AMC with your cheesecake creme brulee you brought with you (which you better clean up and throw out after yourself) then head home nice and sobered up:)“

“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“

“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!“

“We came on a Saturday for a college reunion. They had a live performer who kept a great ambiance. I tried one Spice Mango Daiquiri and ended up having three as it was so refreshing and flavorful. Definitely coming back. Recommended for groupsWheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor. Has a ramp by the entrance.“

“Been going here for years and food and service have been consistently wonderful. Atmosphere is low key and comfortable. Booths are private and tables large enough for all the food you're going to eat. Try the appetizer artichoke hearts oreganata. Perfect and oh so tasty. All entrees come with pasta or mixed veggies and a potato croquette filled with cheese. Portions are generous and we always take some home for later enjoyment.Francos has a separate pizzeria where you can order to go or eat in. Pizza is perfect. Our favorite is with bacon and garlic, extra sauce and extra crispy. Give it a try.Francos has a nice bar where you can have a drink or eat. Music is Italian standards. Who doesn't like a little Sinatra in the background and I do mean background. Nothing turns me off more than music in a restaurant so loud that you can't hear the people you are dining with.“

“Spoke to Danna and she MADE OUR NIGHT!!! I came with a friend to have a few drinks and she took time to joke around with us. She is super funny and friendly and very attentive. Please give her a comedy spotlight!!!! ? she definitely added to the friendly atmosphere.“

“Tommy Fox's Public House in Bergenfield, New Jersey is a cool bar that has that cool Irish pub feel to it. The service was friendly and the customers were pretty friendly here, as well. I did not try any of the food, but it looked to be what you would expect from a bar. This is definitely a cool.place to gather with some friends and overall, I would recommend here.“

“I'm surprised that I have been living in the area this long and have not been here until now! Went for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The waitress Melissa was very friendly and helpful. The vibes were as if I were at a rock bar without the drunkards. And the food was incredible! Rony made us the juiciest burgers (even better than what I was craving) and personally came to our table to ask how we were doing. 10/10, definitely recommend!“

“The attention is amazing,m, waitress is very attention, sharp, and fast. The place is accommodating and welcoming. The food is always fresh and tasty, I always enjoy my meal. Blueberry pancakes with side order of bacon well done and fresh OJ. I recommend.“

“I came here on a random late Saturday night with a friend looking for a spot to get a drink and maybe have some luck in finding a place still open to serve some appetizers. It was to our surprise that the kitchen was fully open after 10pm! My friend ordered the Salmon and I got the Ceasar salad which was very delicious, however, I regretted not ordering the mofongo. People that ordered around me had me craving it! The DJ was really good too; played old school music and currents ones. All the servers provided great customer service. What I liked the most was the crowd- it was almost empty and everyone was just living their best life dancing on their chairs and playing games. If you’re young and single looking for a place to meet people; I doubt this is the place. Everyone was in their late 30s and older hanging out after the brunch crowd went on their merry way. I will be going back again with more friends to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good company.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor and plenty of space“

“So the place is very authentic with their brick walls. We were seated right as we entered, less than 3 minutes later our server came over to get our order. I had the Alehouse nachos, it was different and tasty (wish they had guacamole to it) , my partner order the cheeseburger egg rolls which came with coleslaw which was nice and crunchy. We then ordered wings, I was kinda sad bc I told her we wanted fries ad well but I guess over the loud sounds she couldn't hear us. I had the mild Buffalo and Thai chili wings, my partner had the jerk wings and as a born Jamaican their jerk wings are official!!!! Seasoned and spicy. Overall the experience was nice, great place to grab a quick bite and watch a few games and drink beer or wine ladies.“

“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?“

“The food was excellent, and the service was great. Sangria was really superb, even though the portions of the food were not so big. The ambiance is so nice and cozy.I'm definitely going back soon!!!!!Parking: Finding a parking spot close to the entrance of the restaurant can be difficult, especially on busy hours like dinner time.“

“Great place great people. I attended a function for Disabled Veterans it was Great ! We had raffles,great food. And the Volunteers were the best they had speakers that spoke to us not at us. Usually people donate space for us to have things but ! You don't meet the owners not these guys they talked & had fun wit us like we were friends and notLike we were Disabled Veterans it was Great ! Not one question about why my leg had Scars on it from surgeries they didn't even see my legs and I had onShorts . WOW great people.

“I like Nellie's in Waldwick because they great thin crust pizza and wings to eat. I like their thin crust pizza, wings, Caesar salad, Irish nachos, and their pasta. The staff at Nellie's are very nice. Nellie's is the best pizza place in Waldwick!!“

“Great food and a serious historical location. Chateaubriand was top notch. Dessert torte was likewise excellent. Staff was friendly. My only complaint was the live music was too loud. I'm a musician and would never have my levels that high. Was difficult to have a conversation.“

“Ordered a quick snack... Chicken empanadas... Crispy and stuffed... And the poblano molé inside and on the side was savory sweet and delicious.So good. Need more next time!The loaded nachos were definitely loaded....And a very good size.Took less than 20 minutes from order to delivery.Next time will be trying the birria tacos!Thank you!“

“Took my mom here for her birthday. The food is exquisite and the ambiance cannot be beat. I truly felt like I was in Paris for an hour. The octopus and the mussels were divine. And the special lamb sirloin was delectable. Best potatoes au gratin I’ve ever had.“

“Our dining experience at Houlihan's restaurant in Paramus, NJ, was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable evening.The menu offered a great variety of options, and each dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. I had the stuffed chicken breast accompanied by asparagus and mashed potatoes, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. My son thoroughly enjoyed his chicken wings and fries, while my wife savored her top sirloin steak paired with a loaded baked potato. Our friend visiting from Ireland, a lovely lady, was delighted with the fish and chips, which she claimed rivaled those back home.The quality of the food was exceptional, and the presentation was equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully plated, showcasing the care and attention to detail that went into its preparation.The service at Houlihan's was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable.Overall, our dinner at Houlihan's was a resounding success. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere made for a great evening out. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in Paramus, NJ, look no further than Houlihan's. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Pretty cool place to go. Have some fun and listen to music and dance the night away. Parking can be a little tough but not impossibleThe place is clean and the bathrooms are clean. There are two rooms for dancingUsually the back is latin and the front is house musicFriendly staff, price of drinks are averagePay a visit Friday or Saturday so far I believe they provide music ?“

“We went to the 101 Pub to watch a Knicks game and the bartender was extremely accommodating. Tim put the game on for us on the TV in front of us. They have many TVs at the bar. We ordered some spicy chicken tenders which were delicious! Tim kept replacing my beer as soon as I was done. Very chill bar for both families and just groups of friends.“

“Went here on St. Patrick's day. They were in full party mode as one would expect and hope for. It was memorable but the music was a bit to loud for me as it was almost impossible to have a conversation. I'm sure some others would disagree. The Irish food was pretty good, The beer was the best part. Had a Guinness of course.“

“Iv been going to this place for over 10 years and it’s by far my number one spot! Always a fantastic night out for any age and for families too. Chris, you and your team are top notch with your service, food and atmosphere! Thank you for a great time each time!“

“I'm not sure why I was hesitant to go to ReBAR. I'm so glad I overcame my reluctance! This place is a little gem. Great food. Friendly bartenders. It's become my go-to place to sit at the bar for a drink and a delicious meal. The pizza is thin and crispy. Dinners are satisfying and well-prepared. Treat yourself!“

“Oldest bar in the Bronx, bartender and all the regulars rule. Great drinks, borderline best value-for-the-drink on the basics in the whole friggin' city. I couldn't get ahold of anyone via phone or online to confirm they were open at 8 am like Yelp said (they were, turns out!), otherwise I would have been there earlier.“

“Great little staple of the clifton community. Many of the old tavern bars cease to exist, but this one still stands strong.And there's a reason why basements style esthetics and lively atmosphere keep long time patrons coming back.Want a man's cave and can't afford it? This place is the next best thing. From pool to darts, to sports on their many TVs, theres something to keep you around and occupied.Their staff and owners are attentive and friendly. They will keep you serviced and make you feel like one of the family as soon as you open that door.If you're looking for a bar like cheers,"Where everybody knows you name," look no further. Stop in and dedice for yourself.“

“Had an unforgettable evening out recently! The highlight of the meal was the branzino, perfectly cooked and then expertly filleted right before our eyes. It's not every day you get a show with your meal, and it definitely added to the experience. The waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was just right - cozy yet sophisticated. For anyone in search of a place with great food and an inviting atmosphere, this spot is a must-visit. Can't wait to go back.“

“Formerly at another location in Spring Valley, Little Vietnam has expanded its menu and its dining space-including outdoor seating. The menu and the specials were difficult to choose between; our waiter knew every detail of the preparation, and it all sounded appetizing. Finally we opted for our usual favorites: a Spring Roll appetizer, basa filet in a clay pot, and tempura-fried soft-shell crab. The basa was delicious with a dark, caramelized sauce and tender, sweet filets. The crab was meaty and crisp, served on a bed of greens and cilantro. I’m hoping for a return visit soon so I can eventually work my way throughb this great menu.“

“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.“

“This gem of a restaurant has earned its place as my all-time favorite Mexican spot in NYC. Not only does it serve up some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting, but it also pairs this culinary excellence with truly outstanding service. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between welcoming familiarity and a lively, fun atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're here for the exceptional food, the top-notch service, or to indulge in what might just be the perfect Margarita, its location near Van Cortlandt Park adds an extra layer of appeal. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Mexican dining in the city.“

“Great ambience and atmosphere. Very nice decor inside. Good hookah spot! Great staff that were courteous and attentive. Great music playing in the background. Food was great too!Overall Highly recommend for a great time to lounge with food, drinks & hookah.“

“Always a good time at Sportsman, reasonable prices, good crowd. Menu has the basics but is good. Real cheese steak sandwich, an actual price of meat. Signature sandwich is the moonburger - Taylor ham and cheeseburger together , delicious. Beers are cheap 1.50 drafts and 2.50 pints of bud, premium draft beers 3.50. Pool table, dart boards, lottery. Try it you will like the home town atmosphere.“

“There's an axiom that you get what you pay for. It isn't always true. But in Grissini's it is. It is pricey but service is impeccable. Very attentive without being overbearing. Salads are perfectly dressed, seasoned and fresh. My special of morels with fettuccine in a veal stock with a touch of vermouth was out of this world. My wife's vegan and her vegetables in garlic and olive oil were perfect. And entrees, as always, were served hot. Eating here is a true dining experience.“

“Made a reservation, and first impressions were good. the first seating they placed us had a broken table so they moved us which was nice they let us pick any spot. the place had Good ambiance with good music that set a good vibe and plenty of tvs to watch sports game. The service was good too our waiter always stopped by to check on us if we need anything. they also gave good recommendations on the menu. the beverages like the mule were good and the food was okay, albeit a bit overpriced for the area. we got quesadillas, wings, sliders, and 2 basket of fries with plenty of drinks. they also tacked on a mandatory 20% gratuity for a party of 3. the beverages were pretty good i enjoyed it. i'll definitely come back !“

“It was my first time eating (and not just drinking) here & it was so good. The bartender was attentive like he always is, I don't remember his name but he's the only one behind the on weekdays usually. It was lively & he told me about karaoke coming up. I think it's on Thursdays? Anyway super good food & sangrias were great!“
