24 Best Cocktail Bars near Spring Valley

“Sabor Costeno is a restaurant whose delicious aromas can often entice neighbors during the warm summer months. I stopped by for the first time at the top of the year and my only regret is not having visited sooner. The restaurant is decorated with vibrant colors, artwork, and festive ornaments that create a timeless atmosphere. It feels like a Rockland County staple. The festive music elevates the mood without overwhelming the senses. Together, the design and atmosphere offer a relaxing dining experience that feels like being invited to a friend’s home.I kept things simple with my order and selected the number 1 specialty dish on the menu. This included white rice, lentils, plantain, chorizo (sausage), pork, and some steak as well. I also enjoyed a blackberry mora smoothie with milk. The smoothie is delicious but the meal is a delight. I enjoyed it so much I had a tough time putting my fork down!Sabor Costeno offers a family friendly gourmet dining experience that I’d highly recommend.“

“Great time at Golfzon! Tommy and the guy at the front that set us up and walked us through how to use the simulator were great! Drinks were awesome (thanks Tommy :)) and although I didn’t try the food I’ve heard it’s good. Will definitely be going again!“

“When you travel, you seek to find outstanding restaurants. Sometimes you win, other times, you don't. The Hudson House is a great find, a winner at every turn! From our initial greeting by the owner, Matt, to the great staff who didn't miss a beat, to the most critical part, the food, there wasn't a moment of regret. We started with a couple of tables shares. We had cheese plate with 3 cheeses, homemade fig jam to die for, fresh thinly sliced honeycrisp apples, delicious grapes, and an oil-infused crustini. Perfect start, followed by the burrata and pumpkin seed salad with carmelized pears and sweet potato chunks. I didn't think it could get better after this. I tried the sweet potato and fennel soup, very warm and hearty on a cold night, and the taste was just as I hoped! A beet and farro salad with radishes hit the mark! My partner had a fresh halibut that was cooked to perfection, served on ramen noodles and baby bok choy, with an array of fresh mushrooms, with a gentle but flavorful broth, but not enough to be called soup. To me, one of the best fish dishes I've tasted in a long time. Our guests, the wedding couple, ordered duck breast confit, and hanger steak. The duck, one of her favorites, was tender, most, cooked properly and seasoned well. It was a hit with her and her mother. The hanger steak was the choice of the groom, a very picky eater. He couldn't stop reaching about how amazing it was! Sadly, we were so full, we couldn't eat dessert. All the desserts are homemade by the owner, and they sounded unbelievable. But I'll have to return another time to speak to them. Finally, ask to sit in the jail cell. The pictures tell only some of the story. It's a wine cellar, a hidden romantic getaway, a reprise of days long gone. Or have a seat at the bar with the locals. Or just come and see the beautiful tin ceiling and walls. No matter what you do here, you won't be disappointed.“

“All I can say is this was an excellent experience, A nice interactive experience in Nyack, if you are looking for something to do besides eating at a Restaurant. Naomi is an excellent instructor and Mr. T has fantastic recommendations for drinks. The bar is fully stocked with a variety of choices. The music was pleasant and the atmosphere was soothing. Great place for a date night, or an evening with the girls.“

“Wow. Great restaurant. While it was a bit pricey, the portions were very nice and the food was incredible. Don’t skip the arancini or homemade tiramisu. Alessandro was our waiter and the service was impecable. Thank you for a great night out!“

“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.“

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary at this restaurant, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The flavors and taste of the dishes were absolutely delicious, leaving me wanting more with each bite. Not only that, but the service was impeccable. The manager, Tommy, and our waiter were incredibly attentive and treated us with such warmth and hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcome. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner for the first time and were amazed by the fast service. The restaurant was almost full but we received our drinks right away and food shortly after. The service was friendly (Marge, Giuseppe, and another server we didn’t catch his name). Nice local bar/restaurant to watch a game. The food was great and we would definitely come back!“

“My husband and I met the bartender Paul, he was excellent, professional and his customer service was above and beyond all expectations! The food was delicious and filling! The staff was cheerful and attentive! We will be back very soon!!“

“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.“

“Was visiting another store in the plaza and dropped in here for lunch. Wasn't busy so we were able to pick our seats. Nice drink menu and the margarita was large. The salsa tasted really fresh and had a little hint of spice to it. Loved the beef flautas. Service was friendly and fast. We also had a shot of coquito at the end that was delicious!“

“Our server was not interested in serving us to the level she should have. Normally the servers are very personable. Not this time. When you are asked if you want your martini served in a martini glass that's a problem. I asked for stuffed olives and was served plain. She corrected it later after I asked. I blame training on that. The manager was fantastic! Very attentive and personable. We have dined there many times and food is always terrific. It was nice to hear live music tonight. Please tell your servers NOT to stack plates. It's rude and disgusting. You're not a diner.“

“I've lived in Ridgewood for over 10 years and have been past this place many times and kept saying that I would stop and grab a burger here. Last night my fiancée and I finally dined in. The food was excellent. The burgers were tasty, especially top with their secret sauce and the sweet potato fries were delicious, with a side of garlic aioli dipping sauce. The atmosphere reminded me of being in a bar but with a hint of the calmness of a winter cabin in the woods. What made our experience top notch was the service. Kim was our server and she made our first time very warm and welcoming as well as accommodating. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to chow down on nice big, juicy burger or even a healthy salad.“

“Went for the first time to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Really fun vibe as a speakeasy. Everything was great. Cocktails and Tapas were delicious. Especially loved the cheese fondue and the oysters Rockefeller. Had dinner as well and loved the beef Wellington as well as the mashed sweet potatoes! Desserts were a hit as well. The owner/chef, Dennis came out and chatted with us and he was super friendly and accommodating. A truly delightful evening. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Stopped here for dinner tonight with 3 kids under 5. The servers were super kind and attentive. The food and drinks were at our table at a reasonable time and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed their steak tacos and their red sangria. Definitely stop in if you're in the area.Kid-friendliness: Super patient staff and more than willing to help with messy kids“

“I had my sister’s bridal shower here and it was more than amazing! The staff, food and drinks were great! Chris and the staff were all so accommodating and easy to work it! I will definitely be going back there and highly recommend to everyone!“

“We came on Easter Sunday for lunch as a family of 4 adults and 3 children and we were treated like family. The staff was amazing, they checked in on us multiple times and filled our water every time we needed a refill without having to ask. The bread they serve is warm and tasty and the calamari was perfect.Small negatives: the rib eye steak needed seasoning and the shrimp scampi was nothing special, a little salty… my favorite dish was probably the branzino and the Brussels sprouts.I would return!“

“Great local place for a night out with your partner or friends, they cultivate a fun vibe. The specialty cocktails are well balanced and beautiful, and it looks like beer and wine drinkers have a plentiful selection too. The food is delicious though they are SMALL plates so just note that this is not a full-meal type of restaurant, it's a cocktail beer wine lounge -- and it's perfect at being that!“

“Maura’s has some delicious Peruvian food! We got the hanger steak with chimichurri, carne asada tacos, lomo saltado and rice and beans. Everything was amazing and the fresh ingredients used really shined through. We can’t wait to go back.“

“My friends and I wanted to try something new, and we were not disappointed! The menu is creative, offering lots of great food options, and the drinks are perfect. But what sets this place apart from the rest is the service. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by a bartender named Yaneliss. She was kind, energetic, and very helpful. I recommend this place to anyone looking for great service, great food, and a warm inviting atmosphere.“

“This place was amazingly fun. The only negative was the wait. We had 6pm Reservations, but did not get seated till an hour later. Due to prior guest arriving late. They made up for it with two rounds of free drinks, and a few free apps. Once we got seated, the chefs were super fun and the food was good. Will definitely be back.“

“Really great Food! Here are the details to help with your order: Apps-- Beef Short Rib Rolls: Delicous. Filled with a generous amount of meat. Very tender with a great sauce. Very rich and filling. Lobster Risotto: Delicous. Dense dish with tender pieces of lobster. Very rich and filling. French Onion Soup: Delicous soup with an amazing broth. Not salty at all and tastes home made vs other restaurants that use bouillon cubes. Perfectly browned gruyere cheese topping. Duck Dumplings: Delicous with a generous amount of tender minced duck meat. Crispy shell with a great sauce. Entrees: Grilled Filet Mignon: The best steak ever! (And we've had A LOT of steak) High quality meat, amazingly tender and cooked perfectly. The herbed bordelaise sauce is absolutely fantastic. Mashed potatoes are soft and creamy. Very good price for the size and quality of the steak. "Angry" Stuffed Shrimp: A good dish but not as stellar as other menu items. Good quality shrimp and cooked well. Shrimp weren't Angry which was a bit disappointing. Stuffing a bit mushy for our taste without a defined taste. Would have preferred more texture. This is personal preference. Other Notes: Crusty warm small rolls served with an herb butter. Great wine and beverage list. Good pour on the glass of wine. Many of the Apps we tried are very rich so order accordingly. Only ding...Restaurant is shockingly dark. We were the only ones in the dining room 6:30 on a Thursday night so we asked if they could turn up the lights a little which they did accommodate. Even then it was still dark. There are 2 areas. A long bar area that also has dining tables and a long dining room. They are separated by a wall which is mostly glass. I can see how this restaurant can be very noisy when full.“

“Let's Meat is a little neighborhood gem! The food is delicious, atmosphere is great and the service is always friendly and attentive. Drinks are good too! For a casual evening, try to get a seat at the bar or in the bar area. It is a quick drive from Saddle River, USaddle River, Park Ridge, Woodcliff Lake, etc. Check them out!“

“Restaurant looks great, service was outstanding- shout out to Mariella! While our burgers were good we had no idea that brunch was being served- no mention of brunch or brunch menu online. Please update your website. Looking forward to coming back! Big thank you to Sean A who was very accommodating.“
