50 Best Bar & Grill near Garfield

“Mandatory tip of 20% if you spend over $100 with a credit card. They don’t tell you, so a lot of my friends and colleagues were double tipping for over a year - the staff doesn’t say anything. Otherwise, best vibes of any bar, amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing music, amazing ambiance.“

“I've been coming here for years and the drinks are on point and the food is nothing to sneeze at either. Their wings are my go to. It's always a good time whether you want to listen to the DJ or dance or watch sports on their tvs.Parking: Very small parking lot but you can usually find street parking depending on the time. Honestly, it's the only negative thing I can mention about this place.“

“chicken empanadas to start were out of this world! lobster soup and steak were so tasty steak cooked to perfection! staff amazing, so friendly and welcoming especially when they found out we are from Scotland! chatted with lady behind bar, sorry cant remember your name who has visited Scotland many times! fab!“

“We were a group of 25 with a preset menu of 4 selections. The service was very friendly, the meals were delicious and service was great. We had a birthday to celebrate and you joined us in song and music. Thank you for a memorable lunch with our visitors from Israel.“

“Excellent attention that I received from the waitress Ana María in this restaurant. Their kindness and speed made my experience very pleasant. In addition, the food was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very cozy. I would definitely recommend this “

“Loved this place. Great beer (though if you’re British they aren’t shorting you on the pints a US pint is 100ml less than a UK one). Fantastic food. I had the Salmon with Cesear Salad. Nachos were amazing too. My wife’s burger was equally good. I’ve never had one so big.Wish I’d bought the souvenir T-Shirt they were the best quality I saw in NYC.Dietary restrictions: I bought a fish dish which was very good and we had Nachos.“

“The BEST guacamole!Vegetarian options: I am vegan and can always find something delicious to eat at Sonoma Grill.My partner thoroughly enjoyed his short ribs.The table side guacamole is phenomenal!The cocktails are always amazing and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating. This is one of our favorite places to eat in Nutley.“

“Great place or brunch. The service was impeccable and our food came out in great time and was delicious. I loved the ambience. What a gem in Fair Lawn. We ordered the eggs Benedict’s and the Coconut French Toast. So good and perfect for a girls brunch or group gathering.“

“My family and I stopped here for a quick dinner late Thursday. The ambiance was fun, with a wide variety of music and happy patrons laughing throughout the restaurant. Although the music was a tad loud for regular volume conversations, we enjoyed it overall. The food was enjoyable and the service was amazing! We had a very attentive server and the manager was kind enough to check on us during our meal.Thank you“

“I'm giving Malone's five stars. I absolutely loved it. First of all, the service was fantastic! I mean our server was professional, friendly, and just lovely. I came here for the weekend brunch, and I like that they also offered non-brunch items. I have never like eating waffles or eggs in the afternoon. I ended up getting Buffalo chicken wings. I love wings and I can say these were amongst the best wings I have had. They were just crispy and delicious. And the fries were yummy too.“

“This place was AMAZING. We had the mussels, burrata salad, pork chops, and salmon. Every single item was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was calm and quiet in comparison to a lot of other places. We spent about 2 hours here and enjoyed every minute. The only reason I would give it 4 stars not 5 is because we went 30 ish minutes without someone checking on us and had to wave down an employee for drinks and our check. Other than that the staff was super nice! Love the feel of this place!“

“Highly recommend Bubo for your next dinner option or happy hour! The food is delicious and offers much more variety than your typical bars. The ambiance was warm and cozy and a great spot for a date night or hanging out with some friends. It’s located near a great area with the subway close by which makes commuting that much easier. Would love to come try their brunch next!“

“I live in Maryland, and was up in Jersey visiting family. My girlfriend, cousin and I all had dinner on 3/23. Sam provided excellent service, and drinks recommendations. In addition, we had an 8:30 reservation, yet never felt rushed. Thanks again to Sam.Cocktails we had were the Smooth operator, steel magnolia, and the southwest cider. All 3 were amazing. Kudos to the barteam as well.We had the calamari and burrata as appetizers, both fantastic.Next time we find ourselves in Jersey, we will be back 100%.“

“Delicious food & wonderful service. Came here for a small birthday celebration on a weekend & really appreciated that they didn’t rush us out at all. The staff let us enjoy our long lunch & girls catch up. Much appreciated, with so many places in the city in a rush mode with customers.“

“My husband and I came here for Valentines Day a couple of weeks ago, and have been thinking about it since! Everything was exceptional, from the steak and fries, to the service. And the host Chris was an unexpected and special touch to our evening. Thank you Chris and The Standard!“

“If you want to end your night after experiencing times square, this is the place. Just a minute walk. This pub is lit. Made some good friends and the live music makes you go round twoParking: Parking anywhere in NYC is difficult. Plan ahead or wait to get lucky finding a spot“

“I love love love Desiree, Gerry, Dan, and Kelly. Such great staff and energy. No matter what kind of day it is, I always feel welcomed. Thank you for being such amazing people! If you’re ever around the area, come by! You won’t regret it <3“

“Came here on a Tuesday night with coworkers for Trivia Night. We had the happy hour wings and chips and avocado, both we delicious!!! I would come back just to eat it again. The servers are nice and the ambiance is nice for a after work hangout or a nice dinner date.“

“Wandered into this bar on a friday and had a delightful experience. Impressive service, great cocktails, delicious top tier bar food. Staff were friendly and attentive. The volume level is perfect for conversation and I enjoyed that they had ESPN on with “

“My daughter and I are in NYC visiting. We placed an online order and went to pick it up. They could not find the order. The employees found it and made the order fast and gave us a couple drinks on the house while we waited. Employees were so nice and the best part was the food was great! My daughter said it was one of the best burgers she has ever had. Thanks for a great experience and meal:)“

“This place is cute. It's small and cozy but plays really great music not only Spanish but English too Ans it's not even that annoyingly loud. The staff top tier, they're great and amazing they make sure you're okay within a reasonable time and they're like annoying about it. I only had appetizers and drinks and both was really good I can only imagine their food is as good as the apps. Overall experience was great I love it. It's a great place to go with friends to catch up or even with a partner to have dinner.“

“This was a laid-back, divey type of bar that supported the Packers as there was memorabilia throughout the inside. There were a few tables with mostly high tops surrounding the bar as well as outdoor seating with televisions. The menu had a few unique bar features along with over 140 wing flavors. Two types of wings and the special empanadas were ordered. The wings came eight to an order and seemed to be of good quality. They were meaty and large too. The sauces that were picked were awesome sauce ($14) and the Pickle Me Elmo Pickle Dressing ($15). The awesome sauce seemed to be a yum yum sauce but could not be exactly sure as the menu did not provide a description and just stated 'don't' ask - It's awesome." Regardless, it was very tasty. It was not spicy at all if unfamiliar with yum yum sauce. The pickle sauce was decent. I would have preferred more of the sauce present, but it was okay at best. The special empanada consisted of hot sausage and mozzarella. There were two to an order and they were big. The overall empanada was extremely crispy. There was plenty of filing and it seemed to be more of a chorizo texture than sausage, but it was still great. Will I go back? Definitely.“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“Marko is such an amazing manager. Very efficient and accommodating! The Burrata on special was out of this world. The avocado adding the most perfect touch to the specialty appetizer. Julia is such an amazing bartender , in which she made me a mezcal favorite with vanilla additives. 10/10 recommend this place ?“

“Stop by Thursday night for the first time after work. I was very surprised and impressed from the moment I arrived. 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. If you're looking to escape the stress from the day and week and have great night. I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.“

“A pleasant and healthy atmosphere, I loved waiting for the new year with families and nice people, what I visited, they worked and the owner was very helpful and treats people like their families, nice music, delicious food, everything for my taste, very pleasant, I give it a 100“

“This is a place you must go to when in NYC. I was back in the NY groove for the weekend and watched the Islanders vs Rangers game here. Great atmosphere, amazing drinks and phenomenal bar service! Cheers to the twin sisters working the bar area; you gals rock. Being that it was an emotional hockey game with playoff implications everyone was loud and proud. The owner, Ian, introduced himself and we started talking. Love the fact that he was pro police and supports NYPD. Ian wound up buying myself, my buddy and cousin shots as we were walking out after the game. When in Manhattan and close to Penn station, do yourself a favor and support this local bar, they are top notch! Thanks for the great time!!“

“I just had the best experience at Q'tal! Our server was so attentive but also gave us space to talk and catch up. She was so kind and everything she recommended was delicious. I highly recommend the jackfruit croquettes and the sliders which I love that they have vegan options for someone like me. I'm not sure of the name it was a passionfruit cosmo type drink and I didn't even realize it came out with a dry ice bubble. 10/10 for presentation on everything and ambiance. They have a dining area which feels a little more formal ( the chairs were so comfy by the way) and then a bar area with high tops which I think would be great for a girls night. I already can't wait to go back!“

“Eagle is a rare thing in the concrete jungle of NYC. I rarely see it. ? Eagle ? rare is one of my favorite whiskeys I tried a few years ago and like it a lot. Also Johnny and Evan William. I have a new whiskey drinker palette ? but I'm specific about what I like. Much more to discover and I know this is a place I can taste American brands to like.Nice place. Spacious and aerated with just the proper light for a cozy ambiance.Friendly staff. Kaitlyn went above and beyond to provide great service. I tried an eagle ? rare old fashion. It was delicious.Ten years anniversary today and I want to congratulate you ?? on a decade milestone and wish you many more decades to come.,“

“We lucked into finding Jakes after a long day visiting the sites, and walking back to the 1 train to head back up town. The menu is seemingly one of only a hand full we saw in NYC that was remotely affordable food wise. The service we had was very good. I enjoyed the Steak Sandwich, and while I asked for it to be cooked medium it was medium well. Thankfully it was a perfect cut, seasoned well and tasted great as described on the menu. My wife had the Pear Salad without Pistachios (our son is allergic), the salad was a good size and I got to have about 1/2 of it. It was perfectly dressed, and the pear played delightfully off the balsamic very well. My Son had the burger and fries and he called it his new happiness burger. High marks from him as he is a picky eater. The only complaint was the cost of our drinks. 4 pours of Makers Mark on the rocks was over $50, which is nuts when you can buy a .750 for $24 in Baltimore (maybe not in NYC). At least they were fair pours. Next time we will probably skip the drinks (this was a theme of our NYC trip, I don't know why I kept getting alcohol).In summary, Jake's is great, and had good music playing.“

“I've decided this is my go to bar to bring everyone when we meet up from family, friends, coworkers, day drinking etc. I like the theme nights, bingo, trivia, bands, etc. I want business to go well from them so they open with kitchen & its profitable all week. Foods amazing...good "no mess behaved" atmosphere. My go to place. Bartenders and everyone are nice.“

“We really liked the variety on the menu — something for everyone! Our daughter ordered sushi, my husband got the creamy pesto pasta with chicken special and I enjoyed the ginger salmon with brown rice and steamed veggies. We finished with a delicious cheesecake and warm brownie, along with coffee. All was delicious!“

“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!“

“A new favorite local spot! I actually did a comedy show here last night and my boyfriend, my friends and I are already talking about how it's such a great place for comedy. Drinks are great, burgers really are the best in Hudson county, great onion rings too. And of course the owners / staff are super nice and create a welcoming atmosphere. We will be back!!!“

“This restaurant is very nice. To start, it's a great place to go before an event at the Red Bull Arena. It's very close only about 3-4 blocks away from the stadium. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice with quiet music playing and nice tables spaced out so you won't be cramped next to someone. They have outside seating for a nice summer day with a tent over the outside seating to stay cool. You won't be having any problems with the service because it is great! They have a bar so you can stop by and get a drink with your friends. There are lots of options on the menu and happy hour everyday from 5-7:30. Now for the food. The food is great! The food came out fast and hot. We ordered the chicken strips, crab cake, and the flatbed pizza. We also got the calamari the was amazing! The price is also very reasonable. Overall I would suggest this restaurant if you want some dinner and you are near Harrison.“

“Ordered the meatball it was smaller than what is advertised, the sauce was really good and the crusty bread with garlic butter was excellent, wish they made pizza though with their coal oven, it would be off the hook!Parking: Parking everywhere in Hoboken is hard.“

“Atmosphere was awesome! Owner is so nice and welcoming. Food was out of this world! Had the garlic butter wings and disco fries. The fries were cheesy and so delicious! The wings were juicy and fresh. Have to say never had wings as delicious as these! Ruuun and get your wings! Yum!“

“We had a great experience. The food was delicious, the staff was terrific, and the atmosphere was outstanding. If you are a Manchester United supporter in particular, or even a football fan in general, this is the best place to watch a match short of be there in person. I highly recommend paying a visit.“

“Great bar. Unfortunately we went on Tuesday, which is the only day that live Jazz is not on. Butvthe atmosphere was still good. The food was excellent and the server was really friendly. Spoke to a guy who was at the bar, not sure if he was the owner or door security. He was very welcoming and friendly. This place would be amazing when music is being played. Wish we went there earlier in our stay instead if last night.“

“Just had drinks but the female bartender was so friendly that our "one and done" stop turned into 4 each. Pricing was more than fair, and everyone else in the bar seemed to be having fun and everyone was respectful of all the other groups of people.“

“About the Sports Bar:This sports bar provides a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff, making it an enjoyable spot to catch English Premier League watch parties.About the Experience:During our visit, we noticed that the bar was a bit empty in the early morning, likely due to its opening specifically for game day events. However, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming nonetheless.Opting for a hot toddy to start the day, we found the combination of hot water, whiskey, sugar syrup, lemon, and cloves to be a comforting and satisfying choice. It provided the perfect warmth on a chilly morning while adding a touch of excitement to the game-watching experience.In summary, despite the initial quietness, this sports bar offers a pleasant setting with attentive staff and enjoyable beverages, making it a worthwhile destination for English Premier League watch parties. It earns a solid four-star rating for its overall atmosphere and service.Vegetarian options: There might be some fries and stuff that can be hadDietary restrictions: Staff should guide you on that they are a but friendlyParking: Was on a busy road so I would suggest parking within a block or so and walk down to the barKid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes I believe so“

“Mehmet, Cyrille, Deb, and Alok, are the best bartenders ever in the entire new work city. I can’t imagine how they thrive to a higher position considering their time accumulated and their consistent hospitality and immaculate communication to bar regulars. I would give them, and Tony and Primo 5 Michelin Stars if I could.Kid-friendliness: Def not kid friendly considering the crowd. The staff is amazing though. The parking is subject to NYC parking availability (call 311 at your discretion).“

“Definitely sit outside if you can! Even if it's cold. The heaters work well enough that you don't need a jacket. Our server Marisa took great care of us. She had great menu knowledge and was friendly and quick. Everything we ate was delicious. I wish the French toast could come in a half portion, though :)“

“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!“

“McHales is within a stone’s throw of Time Square and a bunch of hotels, but somehow manages to retain a local feel. I say somehow, but this is because the founder, Paul, is a dead-set champion bloke, the rest of the staff are authentic and welcoming, the space is large enough to have some privacy and small enough to feel cosy, and sitting at the bar is a classic New York Irish treat (without the sticky beer-stained feel). I found it while I was there for PLUS NEW YORK (if you know, you know) and invited brokers to come and see me there. So, when in NYC, get yourself down there and sit back, relax, eat good food, say hi to Paul and the team and enjoy.“

“I love this place. Great prices and you wouldn’t think so but the food is always delicious. I recommend anything on the special menu. The cook brings it out himself and clearly cares about your experience. I’ll always come back and recommend here.“

“Sunday brunch was great! Service was a little slow to start but we weren't in a rush. We had 11am reservations. They open at 11. Drinks were great. Food was tasty. Fun and laid back, a mix of families with small children or a group of friends everyone seemed to be having a good time.“

“Very exciting find. Searched for restaurants near my hotel that served wings three different times and did not see this as a suggestion. While walking saw the sign and decided to investigate. Will definitely be back on future visits to new York. Next time I will try an entree... maybe. The appetizers were delicious and the make it yourself tray was great. I do not drink, but the drink specials were varied. Went during happy hour, so it was pretty packed but still comfortable. Wait staff friendly and attentive.“

“1 night visit... But an enjoyable time in a busy, busy beer joint & bar food purveyor. It was Wednesday, which I understand is a weekly night for Grateful Dead tribute/cover bands. That night despite a slow start, the band got rolling with some well intentioned covers, including Tennessee Jed, which rang true. I did not sample the victuals but the menu featured bar food which, upon delivery of exemplars to my bellied-up-sittin'-@-the-bar neighbors looked good enough to eat. Look for the turkey?/chicken? on the roof. The OL is clearly a good ole joint.“
