50 Best Bar & Grill near Staten Island

“Place has a cool vibe with plenty of seats and fun staff …really good bar food and live entertainment with dj’s and bands! Don’t listen to negative reviews from local competitors this place ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!“

“We recently hosted a family dinner at Ralph’s Sports Bar. Ralph and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that we were happy. My family thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. My aunt said the chicken francese was the best that she has had and the wings and burgers were outrageous. We are looking forward to our next event at Ralph’s!“

“We had such an amazing experience at The Rock House! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is incredible — everyone’s in a great mood, super friendly, and ready to have fun. We went for the Halloween party, and they absolutely nailed it. The band was fantastic, the music was excellent, and the whole place had this awesome ‘80s throwback feel — from the décor to the energy. The food came out fast, tasted great, and the prices were very reasonable. The Halloween-themed drinks were creative and fun, and the bar staff was quick, smiling, and clearly enjoying the night. The place was packed but still felt friendly and comfortable — we ended up meeting so many great people. You can tell The Rock House puts a lot of heart into what they do. Overall, this is a class act bar that knows how to throw a party. Beers are always cold, the food is consistently good, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend checking it out — and whatever you do, make sure to try their candied bacon. It’s amazing!“

“Nice place, friendly staff and friendly customers“

“The best dance spot on the island!!!“

“Best jalapeño poppers on the island Service impeccable“

“Coolest idea but they need to open the bar and bar seating and staff it while the theater is in operation , not doing so removes part of what makes this place great: I do hope they figure out how to accommodate the bar as well. Overall great place.“

“Cozy and fun great beers great jukebox music. And never overly crowded ever. Love the entire menu. Great homemade chips. Delicious burghers.“

“I’ve been going to W’s for years now. The burgers and wings are off the hook good. The waitress can’t do enough for you. Great restaurant to take the family to eat and also a friendly bar to watch sports. Very reasonable priced. You definitely won’t go hungry or thirsty at W’s. Well worth trying out. Your first time will not be your last.“

“This is a great new place. Great Atmosphere, Awesome Music, and Outstanding staff! Highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area!“

“Friendly staff…..but when the place is busy you’re going to wait“

“Great food and a really welcoming atmosphere! Cory was super friendly and the burgers (including my veggie burger!) and fries were some of tbe best we've ever had! I was traveling with my high school age kid and his friends and Cory made us all feel welcome which I really appreciated! Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful dinner experience! Staff was attentive & friendly. We enjoyed oysters, burgers & mussels while watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any better!“

“Don’t think twice …go checkout this local gem! Not fancy, but warm, cozy, oh so friendly staff and amazingly affordable. Our bartender/server KP was a rare find.“

“it was perfect my fiance took me the food was great the atmosphere was perfect the staff was great“

“I was here when they first opened. it was not really "for me". Recently tried it again and loved it. I am vegetarian and my friend is vegan. we found options. Really enjoyed the eggplant sandwich. Would love more options (saw on one of the burger challenges a portobello on a burger, so loose the beef and just do the portobello) then I would definitely be there more often. Plan to check out the events that they have in the winter. So nice to have a quality and nice place locally to go out to at night.“

“This place felt like a warm welcome from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was so inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious each bite bursting with freshness. The chicken steak sandwich was a standout, along with the Philly cheesesteak and those waffle fries topped with chili and cheese they were a dream! The sweet potato fries were a treat, too. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I was impressed by how they've created something truly their own. Their employees' care is what makes this place successful. Diners occupied every possible space. The kitchen doesn't compromise on ingredient quality. The personnel here are notably helpful.“

“I highly recommend Beckett’s for many reasons! The drinks and service were great and really admire the ownership and any management. I hosted a private event for my birthday and everyone had a fantastic time and my experience was so positive from the planning to end. I filled out an interest form initially and Noel called me in the same day and provided all details I needed. He was also very flexible when it came to coordination of attendees and food/drink options really making it a stress free organization. During the event we had Grace as our bartender and she was fantastic and helped with everything upon setup and flexibility for the night. The drinks were great and were able to make this a special night. I will definitely be going back here to support Beckett’s and recommend it for anyone who plans to host an event and wants a stress free and fun experience. Thank you Noel & Beckett’s!“

“We’re regulars at the bar here. Always great food drink and service. That’s why I decided to have them cater and host our event at their “Picketts Upstairs” . We had a group of fifty. Spacious good looking room. Our own bar and bartender. Food was outstanding, not your typical buffet. And staff never let things run out. Hot and fresh until everyone was satisfied. Amazing service and quality. HIGHLY recommend Picketts!!“

“A great place for food, friends & bands like Pale Horse“

“Good food and cold beer! Mac and cheese hit the spot on a rainy day.“

“We came in trying to find a place playing the Colombia vs. Ghana game. We walk in and the game is on but the volume was down.
We asked the two bartenders working and one of them (stephanie)said “why not?” And they made it happen!!!!!! Definitely the best service ever ❤ and a huge thank you as well to Connor for the best Michelada !!!!“

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

“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.“

“Delish ! So much fun ! Nice folks“

“Great place to meet and eat. Bartenders and cook are super friendly and great to know. Great food and variety. We love coming here from South River.“

“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“

“the best seafood 🦞 love the place .“

“The kitchen delivers quality and the servers deliver it with warmth. This restaurant offers appropriate rates for its location. Excellent food from appetizers to desserts. The personnel are friendly and attentive to needs. I'm thinking about visiting again.“

“Great bar pie pizza 🍕 and atmosphere“

“This was my fourth time ordering pizza, each of the pies were cooked like I asked and each one tasted the same, good flavor and crunch, just how I like them. The staff are very friendly and courteous, seems to be a friendly atmosphere , all seem to be having a nice time. Plenty of tv’s. One I’ll have to sit and eat there. Plenty of draft beers to choose from, full bar for you mix drink folks. Definitely will be going back. New Jersey Joe 👍🏼😀“

“A friend of mine brought some takeout from Cherry's Lounge to my home. Wow! delicious! got to make my way to Cherry's Lounge.“

“Whether it's empty or crowded, I love being able to just hang out in a place where nothing extra is required of me. Nothing more than my wallet is needed to have a good time. Fairly new pool table with 2 dollar games, a wide assortment of drinks to choose from, a very simple yet delicious food menu, and a very hospitable wait staff. The Kave is slowly becoming my regular go-to spot after a long work week“

“First time coming here. The food was great. I had the long hots as my appetizer delicious! The black and blue Burger was really good. And it was huge! Service was on point. Definitely coming back, there's quite a few things on the menu I would like to try. Highly recommend!“

“Brightside Tavern is the modern day Cheers. If you want to have an experience that you'll never forget, then come down to Brightside tavern 141 Bright Street in Jersey City New Jersey. Tell them Curtiss sent you. Family, and kid friendly too. 🫡🌹“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great Bar Tender and awesome people!!!! Great awesome place to visit.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Waves of Wine for a quick drink and loved the chill vibes. The atmosphere was super relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a glass of wine and good company. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Where is Henny the DJ? No promotion. No drink specials. Lazy.“

“great place . great people“

“Beautiful and clean with a wonderful, friendly staff!“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“If you want to wind down from a crazy day and enjoy good eats and libations, this is the place to be! Anyone can come here and feel welcomed, and don't forget to order their famous MAC AND CHEESE!!“

“buen ambiente rica comida“

“I really enjoyed myself .. The food was actually good (it don’t have to be the best in NJ but it was the best there lol) , the body mirrors everywhere make you want to take pictures all night , the scenery is definitely a scenery you would want to be apart of & the place is definitely a good vibe … There is two sides and two DJs playing different music inside the club … On either side you will definitely enjoy yourself … There was excellent customer service but the service can be slow at the bars due to it being busy but overall this is definitely a club/Bar Restaurant I will be returning too ‼“

“We ordered dinner from Keelen’s tonight as we’ve done many times in the past. The two specials were incredible and our children’s food was awesome as always. The staff was very friendly and happy to help us right before closing with our late night dinner tonight. Such a friendly atmosphere with great food“
