50 Best Bars near Nyack

“Love this place, it’s where everyone knows your name“

“Best staff and food in Nyack, hands down.“

“The papaya salad is a must. The clay pot salmon is delicious and so light. This is definitely my favorite place in Rockland County.“

“Just had one of those nights you wish you could bottle up and relive 🔥

Stopped by this bar for their open mic night, and WOW — the energy was unreal from start to finish. You could feel the mix of raw talent and pure passion in every performance, but the absolute highlight of the night was the band featuring Matthew Rapelye.

They didn’t just play music — they owned the room. Tight, dynamic, and completely in sync, with vocals and instrumentals that hit every note perfectly. The kind of performance that makes you stop mid-conversation and just listen. People were cheering, vibing, and completely locked in.

The atmosphere? Laid-back but electric. Great crowd, welcoming vibe, and the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave feeling like part of something.

If you’re even remotely into live music, open mic nights, or just discovering insanely talented artists before they blow up — this is the spot.

Already counting down until the next time 🎶“

“On December 12th my law office had their holiday luncheon at this wonderful restaurant. I also ordered a tray of meat lasagna for Christmas. If you have never had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant, I suggest you run - do not pass go - and get your butt there and eat the most delicous food on this planet. The chef created the meat lasagna - a simple dish - and elevated to something that just melts in your mouth with deliciousness. LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant!!“

“I went with a group of friends for my birthday last night. It was AMAZING. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The place itself was so clean and cute, really cool vibe. The Apps were great, Hush Puppies and Fried Calamari, yum. I did a make-your-own Seafood Boil. OH MY GOD. The New Zealand Mussels, King Crab and Dungeness Crab was out of this world in the Cajun Butter Sauce. I HIGHLY recommend this spot and will be going back.“

This place is great and we made friends with a couple of cool fellas who are regulars there. My boyfriend ended up in a conversation about guitars. We came from lands far away so this was just a whim but we will definitely be back! This place is old school cool with great service! Thank you for making us feel welcome!“

“Chef Elmer is highly skilled and talented. The quality of the ingredients, the methods of cooking/raw and the spectacular presentation is world class! The tasting menu is one of the best I've had. Highly recommend!“

“The Tapp is the quintessential local bar. The staff are very friendly, the burgers are phenomenal (as is everything else on the menu), and the prices are more than reasonable. If you find yourself in Tarrytown for shopping or seeing a show at The Music Hall, make a stop at The Tapp a part of the experience. Better still, make the trip just to visit The Tapp alone. It really is a great place to hang out with friends, catch a singer, play Tuesday Night Trivia, or have a terrific meal.“

“Focus Immunity was playing tonight. Great cover band. Great sound too. Often places have muddy sound, but this really good. Vocals awesome. Band great over all. Nod to the drummer, though everyone was outstanding .

Service was great as was the food. A good sized crowd, (my age group 40+) though not to busy. Nice look and feel, great place to take the family or what have you.“

“Tuck’d Away has the BEST brunch in the area. I never had a more diverse brunch in my life. the entire staff is very attentive and professional. Michael is the best owner in the world I ever met - so fun to be around and cares about the community. Jason is a very fun and friendly bartender and Stephanie and the serving staff always make it feel like you belong. Halloween was so fun and I loved how he had a costume contest- that Mcdonlads Girl is VIP - she won. Oh and tinkerbell was cool too 🤣👍📸“

“Dinner, ambience, staff were 4 star! The cauliflower appetizers were delicious. We both had a seafood pasta dish that I wanted to finish, but couldn't. The good news is that I'll have the rest tonight for my dinner. I wish I had room for dessert, but couldn't. Hopefully I'll have a dessert the next time.“

“Good was OK....Mac & cheese with bacon had no flavor whatsoever although the filet tips in the appetizer section was very good....service was great!!! Very friendly...I was very surprised when I walked in at how dark it was because the curtains were closed. Once they opened the curtains it was better.“

Again, I’d lose credibility with my Maine friends if I said this in public, so I trust Facebook will protect my identity! 🤣😂🤣 Thank you for great hospitality and a wonderful meal!“

“Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited Peters Steakhouse and had a fantastic experience. It's clear that this is a family-owned and operated business—the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and you can really feel the personal care they put into everything. We ordered the porterhouse for two, ordered three sides, along with the fried calamari and Caesar salad to start. Everything was delicious, and I was especially impressed by the portion sizes—they are very generous! It's the perfect spot if you're looking for a hearty meal in a friendly, local setting. Highly recommended!“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“Outstanding service and everything we ordered was excellent and delicious.“

“Love this place and shout out to the best server, Nadean!
We've been here just a couple of times but our last few visits were tended by Nadean, an absolute delight! Im a super picky eater and tend to have a lot of special requests, but my girl makes me feel like a regular person - no irritation and my order always comes out perfect
The only reason for i pulled a star was because we were sat by the kitchen and my boyfriend is sound sensitive, so the constant dish clattering was rough for him
Maybe consider a sound barrier between the tables and the kitchen, at least by the sink?
Otherwise perfect“
