50 Best Cocktail Bars near Newark

“I came from out of town with friends and we chose this beautiful spot for brunch after a fun weekend. First thing we noticed were the Beautiful decorations and atmosphere. The price for their unlimited drinks package is a great deal and they’ll never let your cup go empty. Theres a time limit on the unlimited mimosas but once its up they move you to the patio seating with the DJ and their talented violin player and it gets better from there. The music was great with diverse selection of music. Overall had an amazing experience here and will definitely be coming back.“

“Fantastic food, good service. I highly recommend this place.“

“This was my second tour at All Points West and I still really enjoyed it! Very interesting to hear about the process and broader history. Fantastic cocktails, excellent whiskey (and gin and rum!). The owner even gave us a great restaurant recommendation. I would highly recommend you visit APW.“

“The food is good, service is usually poor, and it usually takes a long time to get your food. My family put me on this spot and I want to give higher ratings but I need the waiter not to be in street clothes making it hard to figure out who is taking orders, answer the phone, stop letting people crowd the register where you take orders, a take orders over the phone especially if ppl willing to pay with debit.“

“The food, drink, service and atmosphere at Dear Maud is so exceptional, my daughter and her fiancé decided to buy out the restaurant for their wedding reception. It was the perfect venue! They gave us access for the entire day to set up, provided a champagne greeting for guests, passed hors d’oeuvres, stationary apps, dinner, desert, midnight snacks and the best cocktails in Hoboken. Everything was perfect and all the staff were exceptional! I can’t thank them enough for making this day so memorable!“

“I always say to people that I bring here that they serve flavor bombs that explode in your mouth. This place is a true experience. Atmosphere and service are always top notch and the food never disappoints. They serve non-vegan and vegan items so it is a great place to go with a mixed dietary restriction group. They can even take care of Gluten Free people as well. Would give this place 6 stars if I could.

Vegetarian options: They offer vegan options on their menu

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options“

“Charley is an absolute must-visit! The warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The elderflower spritz is light and refreshing, while the Charley breakfast, western omelet, and French toast are simply divine. Santi provided exceptional service, making us feel truly valued. I wholeheartedly recommend Charley and can't wait to return!“

“WOW!!!! Some of the best queso birria tacos I’ve ever had!!! The order comes with 4 and they’re small but packed with flavor!!! The beef is perfectly seasoned and cooked. Perfect amount of cheese and the tortilla has the right amount of crunch from being grilled. The consommé is so flavorful that I drank the rest once I finished the tacos.10/10 highly recommend! I’ll def be back!“

“Nice Place“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“This place has just the right ambiance. It can be relaxing for close friends/ family or romantic for a date. The service felt like fine dining while the space felt unfussy and welcoming. Even the seat was quite comfortable. The food is great but not exceptional, and the one cocktail I tried was mediocre.“

“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!“

“Great experience at Madame for dinner with another couple. Martin on the staff was exceptionally good, very attentive and incredibly cordial. Every course was delicious. Although, the chocolate creme brulee made for a great finish to the meal.“

“I've been here so many times as it's such a convenient spot with late hours and great service. Every meal is prepared with care and precision, every server I've had (no two the same) have been efficient, courteous and professional. The drinks are great as well. Selection is quite varied. It's a festive place so it gets loud but as expected when people are enjoying food, drink and friends.“

“This place deserves more than a 5 star. This was my first time coming to this location. Out of all the years living in Clifton, NJ, I had no idea about this place and I will be back. I’m not much or a drinker, Bourbon and Whiskey at that. However, I was here celebrating my dear friend 43rd Birthday and I said “Why Not” and boy was I glad I did. I had the “Hibiscus Lemonade” and “Year Five 2.0”. The first drink was great, but that second one “Chef’s Kiss”. But what made my experience grand was the customer service. The team were so pleasant and fun to be around. Thank you Silk City for an amazing time.“

“Great place for dinner and drinks“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“We keep on coming here , love the location - right beside Hoboken waterfront. Perfect to spend summer evening in the park and have dinner after.Their fried-momos (especially the chutney) are to die for . Tandoori Paneer and Gulab jamun are also a must try !“

“Puertas Restaurant exceeded all expectations with its impeccable service and delectable dishes. From the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly greeted by a waiter he patiently guiding us through the menu, he offered helpful suggestions that enhanced our dining experience. I ordered a medium steak it was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and expertly seasoned. As for the dessert, it was a true delight, leaving us craving more with each bite. It was a great experience that I will eagerly return to time and time again :)!“

“Thanks Daniela, you are always so sweet and great bartender. Thanks to Sebastian and Nicole also great team.“

“Had a beautiful dinner date here yesterday! The vibe of the restaurant is trés chic and the food is delicious! We were welcomed and quickly ushered to a romantic table at the back. We enjoyed everything we ate, we had the caesar salad, duck confit appetizer, and four cheese pizza. The four cheese pizza included brie which was unique and tasty! As we left, they said goodbye to us by name which was a special touch. I would definitely recommend visiting if you want a taste of the Côte d'Azure here in Hoboken!“

“Lovely outdoor garden setting in season ...nice menu. My Bronzino over linguini was delicate, flavorful with a good portion of both fish and pasta. Others at my table were not as satisfied with their dishes. Bland crabcake appetizer with no presentation and the veal dish with mushrooms was tough. We would return because of the varied menu, great bread and pizza as well as the ambiance.“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“Amazing food and service. I read the reviews before coming here but they must of been during the first week or month of them opening. They worked out all the kinks and more! Chicken vodka parm and lobster salad were amazing. Sauce was delicious. Lobster salad was fresh and delicious. Hosta are also great!“

Very upscale and elegant place with alot of attention to detail, with a very warm relaxed feeling and a very inviting cozy mood ambience.The service and food was phenomenal and Jorge, the bartender/manager was great, also enhanced my experience, he's very detailed may me and my friend feel very special.I felt like, i was actually in Dubai.

I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.“

“Incredible eccentric food. Great cocktail spot.“

“I worked with Melissa in planning the menu and reserving the parlour for a graduation reception. Everything worked as planned, when I was paired with my now favorite server DEVON. He cared for my family like it was his own. The food was always hot and timely. The drinks were always flowing. I couldn’t ask for better service. A big shout out to the chief. I’m still dreaming about their short rib canapés.“

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Every dish ordered was made fresh. Everything came out piping hot. The flauta apps were really good and stuffed with a good amount of meat.Salsa needed jalapenos - or some kick element. Chile Crema Pollo was light on the sauce and heat (not spicy).Of course, churros are always a win. You can order then by singles - got 2.Interior design is aesthetically pleasing. Would come back.

Parking: Parking is part of the casa lot“

“Fox & Crow is the premiere Listening Venue in Jersey City. The music room is small, like a local jazz club from back in the day (think Coltrane or Monk at the 5 Spot), but that gives it a focused vibe and electric intimacy that you can't get anywhere else in JC at this time.“

“This place is absolutely golden! They make great drinks and the food is honestly amazing. Drinks can be a tad bit pricey but they’re great cocktails! The service is top notch and plenty of seating! Def worth going if youre ever in the Nutley area!!Wings are great and nachos great“

“best place in elizabethport,,, great food ,and great services,,, 100% recommended“

“Great food, excellent cocktails, and a truly wonderful staff. Neighborhood staple, for sure.Edit: the "spicy chicken parm sandwich" on their special menu right now is **delicious**. But they hooked me with "spicy"; alas, it was not. Still hella tasty. They might sell more if they drop 'spicy' from the description, or kick the spice up and embrace it. Either way, yummy!“

“Great food! Great service! Great location on Forest Ave! Everything was delish, apps, food, drinks… The kids also loved their food. Atmosphere and decor was so nice too. We will definitely be going back soon!“

“Delicious meal. Service spot on. We’ll be back.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“We had a great meal at LaColina Mexican Cantina. We got seated pretty quick but we did get there by 6… got a little more crowded at 7 on a Saturday night. Food options were great as well as the drinks. Atmosphere was great also and there was a good amount of people there on a Saturday night. Just one down side… I don’t like that they automatically add on 20% tip on the bill. Tip should be based on great service and at the customers discretion.“
