“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 have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

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

“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!“

“Great place happening lots of fun good food n drinks Lov it“

“Sharron is a VIBE! Not only is she BEAUTIFUL but one of the most attentive and personable bartenders I’ve ever had. She ran a full bar basically by herself with ease! I came back to the Hive just because of her!! Definitely will be the new spot!“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“A friend’s daughter recommended this place, and I’m so glad she did. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by a very sweet, attentive staff member. The space itself is beautiful, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away. And the drinks are fire!“

“We had heard great things about @blue42bar and we finally got the opportunity to stop in. It did not disappoint.

They have 172 wing options. We tried 2 of them: Honey BBQ for me & Honey Hot Buffalo & Honey Mustard for him. We both loved our selection.
For our dinner I got the Rigatoni Vodka (Happy Hour size) & he got Crystal's chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and neither of us could finish. So Bonus lunch the next day.

Tables can be reserved at major sporting event times. Highly recommend! We slid in & out before the game but by the time we left people were waiting for our table. Not a huge space but the vibe is awesome.

It did have 1 drawback - It's a Green Bay Packers Bar lol

“Great food, great service and very welcoming. As visitors from the UK we were made very welcome from the moment we stepped through the door.“

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

“Everything you could want from a North Jersey Bar. Happy to get in there this weekend to eat good and enjoy the games.“

“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!“

“Nice place, friendly staff and friendly customers“

“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!!“

“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 had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Great place for dinner and drinks“

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

“I stopped by McGinley Square Pub and really enjoyed the laid-back neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of place where locals come to relax, grab a drink, and catch up with friends. The food was classic pub fare — simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming and casual. Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood bar if you’re looking for a chill spot to hang out.“

“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.“

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

“Always a great time with Tabby, Ngozi, Nat and my karaoke crew!“

“Good Food. Beer too! Yum yum yum yum yum yum“

“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.“

“Historical spot. The woman in the B&W photo on the right is my Aunt.“

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

“Saturday karaoke party rocks!“

“This was on our NYC bucket list and we had a delicious, beautiful time here!“

“Un excelente lugar y buena atención“

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“Great food and cocktails.“

“Tonight was my first time at Krugs Tavern & my burger was simply fantastic. Great atmosphere & my waitress was to die for. She was terrific, even when I noticed I forgot my sunglasses & had to go back in & retrieve them, they were on the counter. Thank you so much. 5 stars here. Take care & good luck.“

“Good and quick service. Best empanadas we ever had. Based on those, the philly cheese steaks were a let down. More bread than filling, hardly any cheese. Tap beer was flat as a Guinness, and wasn't supposed to be. Holiday mule was good.“

“Great food, good drinks, nice environment, friendly staff.“

“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“

“Love the bar, love the music, love the vibe!“

“Great prices on drinks served by kickass bartenders, nice people you can talk to, chill atmosphere and a jukebox to play your fave songs. Definitely will be coming back when I can!“

“Great times all the time.“

“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!“

“Excelente lugar para pasar entre amigos y familia“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Frenchy's is such a fun, pleasant dive with bar food and drinks. Often they have music that is played so loud that you can't talk. Parking can be a problem. Small lot and street parking. Oh, and part of the movie The Wrestler with Micky Rourke was filmed there.“

“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. 🫡🌹“

“Great vibe!! You will feel right at home!! It is a family owned and worked business so they take very good care of the place and it’s customers!! The food is really good!! The chicken franchise is my favorite… and so good!! Taco Tuesday also has BINGO! Good food and good vibes!!!?“
