Bars near Oak Ridge

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Daily Planet and was fortunate enough to encounter Ivy the bartender! Despite the bar being busy, Ivy was attentive, friendly, and seemed to be generally interested in engaging with patrons. She interacted with everyone at the bar and made sure that they had everything they needed. As someone who worked in service for years, you experience all types of personalities good and bad. It’s refreshing to see someone behind the bar who enjoys what they do. I would come back just for the positive atmosphere that the Daily Planet has while Ivy is bartending!“

“Valley tavern in oak ridge nj has started serving food again I was the first customer I think. Completely satisfied. Food was good. Menus is good bar food menus plus. Specialty to open was some chili. I recommend you stop there and have a bit to eat. The people that go there are friendly and down to earth. Small bar of good people . 4 stars for starters based on friendly staff and hood start. Today was the first day b“

“If you're looking for a stop with friendly service that won't break the bank, this is the spot. Tuesday $1 tacos?! And they are solid. Local worker crowd fills the room with fun chatter. Pool table, and very reasonable drinks prices. Package goods available next door if you need some to take home. On the left side 23N.“

“Love this little dive bar. The food is amazing! They’ve got crazy awesome happy hour deals wed -fri. $3 domestics… like you’re not gonna find a better HH anywhere.There’s a super hot cook in the back with red hair and he makes the best burgers.Live music on the weekends, trivia and bingo during the week. Don’t sleep on this place, y’all.“

“I go once in a while they have a lot of regulars. It's a nice chill spot to have a few drinks and relax. Staff is great! I've never had a problem. Nice vibe even when I'm not drinking (I'm pregnant and still go with my bf so he can relax) but over all definitely recommend you check it “

“Went to see a friend's band, Release the houndz, and had a great time!Service was awesome, even though it looked like she was on her own and the bar bands area was packed. She was so friendly!Food was good as well. We ordered a few appetizers and a pizza and all were tasty. Wings were especially good!!! Crispy but not overcooked.Nice place. Well be back!!!Oh... reasonably priced as well!!!“

“We stopped in on St. Pats weekend and where plesently surprised. We got immediate seating at the bar and had amazing food. We came because the spot was recommended for their tap list, and boy, did they not disappoint. Spectacular selection of premium beers and a great variety too; not just the usual whale NEIPAs. My only complaint is that this spot is too far away from me to be a regular haunt. If you're around the area, definitely give Taphouse 15 a try.Parking: Lot is a bit tight, and the restaurant is situated in the middle of a divided highway, so it felt a bit strange when we pulled in from the left.“

“We eat here regularly. Always get seated promptly. Friendly host and servers. The food is fresh and hot. Traditional Irish fare and American standards. I do not drink, but friends say the beer selection is fine. I definitely recommend this restaurant.Parking: Street parking on Denville Bloomfield Avenue is sometimes challenging. If you park on Main Street, behind the restaurant, use the rear entrance.“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“This was my first time in here as it was for my tuesday night dart league. Its a small bar but as soon as i wakked in and had to get a drink, the bartender made it feel like ive going there for a long time. They do have a bar menu and its a mix of typical bar food/snacks and stuff you wont see at a bar too much. They offer pizza, hot oven pretzels, wings, tenders, fried raviolis, hot dogs, burgers, cheese steaks, buffalo tots (I was sucking on ice for an hour but it was good). So you guessed it, i enjoyed it.“

“Moved to Lake Hopatcong less than a year ago and still exploring the area. Went to McKenna's for the first time. What a welcoming atmosphere. Food was good, people were very friendly. Bob, the owner, bought a round of drinks and Kim, the bartender, was attentive and personable. 5 stars all around! Will definitely go back.“

“We first went there for my fiancee's birthday and we all loved the food and the service. So when we were looking at places to have our wedding reception, this was the first place we thought of. It turned out great! Owners and staff were amazing, so helpful and accommodating! All of our guests loved the food and ambiance. They nailed it! Than you!“

“Cool little place and Meredith is awesome as a "mixologist "Eclectic mix of young and old with no specific vibe except people getting together for a good time. Didnt see any fights or drama which was nice.Stop in next time and try a new watering hole!“

“Tuesday is karaoke night. The bar is happening but not busy, the music is on but not unmanageable, and the drinks are good. I really enjoyed my time, and the drinks, and the service. I'll only knock the fact that the menu doesn't display prices and the "not IPA craft selection" is pretty bad. Which I know is a tall ask but for 20+ beers is a little bit disappointing.I would totally go back.“

“Excellent restaurant with high quality food and daily specials. Nice variety of mixed drinks with a cozy bar. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere with nice clean decor. Ask for Heidi when you go!! She was an attentive and outgoing waitress. The bar pie is the best in the area!!! Looking forward to making this restaurant our go to place!“

“As always bad with names but our server was wonderful! Haven’t been there in few years but it was though I never left! Myself and my 2 boys went for dinner and it was delicious our server did an excellent job and the food was amazing as always! Thank you for a wonderful “

“@BigDudesBigFoods was invited up to @Pats.Barin #MountArlingtonNJ today. We were told it was a dive bar with a more upscale menu and that's exactly what we found. We started with the "Crispy Chicken Teriyaki" over #JasmineRice with #RoastedPeppers Next, we had a grilled chicken sandwich on Ciabatta with Arugula, Roasted Peppers and #FreshMootz Our 3rd course was #PatsWingshalf Buffalo and half Bourbon and we ended our culinary adventure with a #JumboPretzel because jumbo is are thing. If it says jumbo, giant, colossal or anything of that nature on the menu, we are probably going to order it. #PatsBar was clean, decorated for halloween and surprisingly had customers at 3pm when arrived after work. The food was delicious and the staff was fun and friendly and made you want to stay longer but you can only eat so much. . #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday“

“I found this gem on Yelp, and am so glad I did. Had a burger fries and fresh made chicken soup... out of this world!!! Everything perfectly and correctly made the bun for the burger fantastic, how often do you say that. The decor, reminiscent of your quintessential "hole in the wall" taverns...love it!!“

“New chef absolutely turned this place around. My gosh. What a difference. The ambiance is awesome and the food is perfection. The octopus is always my favorite and I usually get the porter house or the surf and turf. Put this in the rotation for date nights and great setting for socializing and friends.“

“Great fresh food and the kitchen adjust the spice to your likes. Their specialty cocktails are delicious and consistent. Staff is friendly and attentive. I have one Vegan and one vegetarian daughter, and they're always happy when we eat at Craving Thai!Vegetarian options: They will make anything special to your order“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

“Their Pizza is fantastic! Beautifully cooked to perfection, just the right amount of toppings if you want them, it’s just pure heaven! Their food along with, fantastic service and a great vibe makes it perfect for all ages! If you haven’t visited, We strongly suggest you give it a try!“

“As a young girl in 4th grade, my mother enrolled my sister and I into Deutsche schule every Sat from 10-12. Yuk! But we learned German and Germania Park has become a part of my life as my mother and step father were active members. I haven't been in years, but we went yesterday to enjoy excellent German food, Weiss bier, ompa band music and cup pyramids being built! Good ole fun ...“

“Food was great! Just disappointed that with an entree no salad or bread/rolls available. They were all separate. We have been going here since they opened and we always got them with meals. Take out next time so I can have bread and salad with my dinner!“

“I'm sorry ? didn't know that you would like me and not my friends but and to be able to to see you all the cleaning products I have to go with is one of the slit in our house ? I have a job for my mom who is going to have a job for her and I have a lot of stuff to do and I don't want to go to a wedding ? I don't want to make her feel comfortable with it her own style and not just her own clothes and she will be on time ⌚ and“

“The best burgers and fries.the burger is like 2 inches thick and bigger than the bun and fresh.all the food i've eaten there is great.and the wings are mouth watering.its an all around good place with ice cold beer.prices are good also.“

“Charley's Tavern impressed me with their prime rib—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a true delight for the taste buds. The inviting atmosphere and attentive staff further enhanced the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Charley's for a fantastic meal!“

“Brick 46 has been a go to spot for my family since moving to the area 2 years ago and the food never disappoints. That in mind we decided to host our 3 year olds birthday party here. Everything was executed perfectly. Our hostess, so sorry I don't recall her name, was awesome and made everyone feel at home. Lou, the owner, made everything easy during the booking process and my wife and I could not been happier with the outcome of the day. A huge thank you to Lou and the entire Brick 46 family!!!“

“We love Bells Mansion! What an amazing place, atmosphere, food, environment. This restaurant is everything plus more. If you're looking for a good local place to eat, bells is amazing! Beyond expectations. Make sure to request LaLa as your waitress. She will make your experience that much better!“

“Food was great. Hot fresh and served quickly. Open floor plan and there were 2 large parties going on so for a quiet evening out this wouldn’t be your place. But for good food and great service it’s a great place. Remember cash only !Parking: Large parking lot but seams to be more than enough for their seating capacity.“

“Imagine the vibe and atmosphere Cracker Barrel goes for - a rustic, old world, farm and industry inspired, old timey facade.This place is like that, but everything from the structural timbers of the building to the artifacts on the wall are all real, 100% authentic, everything there has actual history and was used at that location. Even if you don't care about that you'll find yourself admiring the building itself because things just are not built like that today.The service is great and the food is excellent. The prices are high, but the quality the food, the atmosphere and the service is absolutely worth it.“
