“Best dive bar in the hackensack area. Owner is awesome. Bartenders are the best and the bar is unforgettable!!! Everything is good at this bar!! They got an awesome pool table darks and the food is unbelievable. Wish I could give them more the. 5 “
“I came here for the 1st time during restaurant week & I cannot wait to return back to try the rest of the menu.The staff & atmosphere was friendly & welcoming, you could tell locals come all the time. Everything I ordered was tasty, but the star of the show was my main entree, Moqueca (Brazilian fish stew with tomatoes, pepper, onions & coconut milk) - It was both comforting and flavorful.The fish was cooked to perfection (soft, tender & flaked easily with my fork), the coconuts milk stew was rich & robust in flavor, with a smooth enough consistency to coat your spoon. In summary, it was chefs kiss! ?“
“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.“
“Early March my and wife and I held a baby shower there. They were extremely accommodating with us and our guest. They also were very friendly and it worked out very well. We had families and most of the ladies at the tables and we had filled the bar with our drinkers and younger crowd.Music was good/ food was good / service was great! Anne was such a great manager worked hand in hand with our coordinator to make that day such a great experience.Overall 10/10 would highly recommend your next event there.“
“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.“
“CASH ONLY SPOT! A good summer/spring spot to hang out outdoors to have a nice beer with a nice view. Its self service, so you order your own drinks at the bar. Not a lot of seatings so I suggest getting here early if you want to secure a seat.“
“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!“
“Due to circumstances, I can't go and eat there, so I've had Uber delivery for 3 days in a row now (trying various things). The quality of the food is incomparable to other restaurants. It's on a different level. Each and every sauce is made with care. They package it well. I had a question about the menu, so I called. When I did that, the female waiter (not Korean) was really kind! She explained it to me while shouting a little and said that she was sorry for yelling at the end because the store was too noisy. Even though she was busy, the waiter explained things so well! The food was great too!! I want to go and eat it warmly. I think it will taste better.“
“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:)“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 ?“
“I love stopping by while I'm in Queens. Now that I have discovered they have an Elf mural and a resident (of sorts) French bulldog with his own barstool, this is a must stop while visiting this neighborhood. Super laidback and the drinks are cold and flowing. The staff wants to ensure a good experience! Live music when I was there on a Friday early evening. Cheers!“
“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.“
“Delicious food once again. Chicken wrap was lightly toasted and stuffed. Took home half. Others in our party had Caesar salad w/grilled chicken. Very generous portion. And, turkey burger so thick and juicy it required both hands to manage. Recommend Doc Watson’s for food and service.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“Stopped in here quick for drinks and fast eats. Got the $10 special of a Bush Light and Shot. We also got 5 appetizers for $60 and it was totally worth it. We got 2 orders or chicken tenders, 1 order of fried pickles, 1 order of bread sticks, and 1 order of nachos.“
“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!“
“Great little pub with an old school local vibe. Burgers and wings are very good. The wings are on the larger side so if you're more into the smaller wings with less meat on the bone you may not love them.My kids love the pizza. I'm a little more neutral on it due to the crust leaning a little towards a "store bought" type. But the sauce and toppings are spot on.The employees are great across the board. They all seem to enjoy working there vs just "having a job". Good place to hang with some friends or eat with the family.Parking: Depending on the time of day can be a little challenging.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly in the dining room for sure. The bar area has high tops but I wouldn't say that space is kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Not the easiest to access for people with disabilities.“
“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!!!“
“Cash only! We read the reviews and prepared $100 cash before going. It was a lunch on a workday, so we only had 1 hour to go, eat, and get back. We arrived shortly after they opened for lunch. Not busy, but definitely more and more crowded as we were eating. Service was fast. Food was great. Many food shows had described their burger and chill bowl - all true. Only imperfection was the seats were tight, and there wasn’t too much space between tables. But honestly most small diners/bars in the city have similar arrangements to fit more people.“
“Went with my brothers to catch up. We were sat right away. Food was really good but the nachos are just incredible. A huge plate that will fill you up easily if you’re not careful. And the sauce that comes with the Sliders was probably the best sauce I’ve ever had. It was some sort of chipotle sauce. A little pricey but I would go back, it’s a great sports atmosphere.“
“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.“
“Tasty spot for a bite of food and lots of sports! Service was fast and friendly and my friend wolfed down the chicken sandwich before I could take a picture. It's a large space with lots of TVs, and I'm not sure how it's decided which TV shows what. No frills sliders were better with mustard, and for $16, the fries should have been included and the patty should have filled out the bun. I'd go back to watch some sports, and I can better judge the sound. It was pretty empty when we went.“
“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.“
“It's 2024 and this place is still a hit in my heart ❤️ ? ? I highly recommend coming to this beautiful establishment nestled in the heart of Spanish harlem on the east side. Come show some love to this Gem plus the best thing about this place besides the food, are the amazing people! It's such a vibe... love you ?“
“when we got to the front door of this place, the bartender came out and opened the door to welcome us. We were just going to stay for one drink, but we stayed much longer. Everybody was so friendly, and the drinks are really really generous. what a great dive bar!“
“Plug Uglies was formerly Bar Coastal which I never stepped foot Into. I came here for some belated birthday drinks. When I got there it was not crowded at all. I ordered a Moscow Mule and I must say it was tasty. I ordered a sierra Nevada Hazy IPA next. The bartender was very nice. The space is great has plenty of seating. In the other part of the bar there is a shuffle board game. This is a great bar to come gather with friends for some food and drinks for sports game or just a weekend of fun. They have a few tvs here too. They supposedly have great wings here too with many different flavors. I did not get a chance to try them out though. Maybe next time.“

“Exactly what this place is supposed to be, it is. A quiet, hole in the wall dive bar with character and characters. A great happy hour alternative to a crowded meat market. Don't be shy.Parking: Line striped parking spots on property, or park in the street if you feel like it. Anything goes“
