50 Best Bars near Old Tappan

“We ate here for the first time on Mother's Day and luckily we were able to order off the regular menu which had something for everyone. Our server did a great job waiting on our table as well as several other large parties so we never felt neglected. We ordered wine, appetizers, and main courses. All of our guests said their appetizers and entrees were great especially the fish/seafood dishes with one exception. A member of our party ordered a scallop/shrimp special which arrived with only 2 shrimp and 2 scallops on the plate with pasta for $39. It was a tasty dish but they could have at least given 3 shrimp and 3 scallops. Appy's worth mentioning: baked clams, grilled octopus, shishito peppers. Outstanding entrees: halibut and sea bass specials, and seafood pasta. We didn't stay for dessert as we planned on having that at home. This was a good find to try out on a less busy night - we will definitely be back.“

“This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else.Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there foodA very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went my cousins for dinner and coffee.Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated.The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering.Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplan Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak.The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price.The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it.The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly!We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat.We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good.This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal.***Keep in mind - Cash Only But the have anATM on site. Not a big deal.Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!“

“Have not been here in years. Service was amazing. Our server Tim was the best. The owner was so friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Atmosphere was family friendly and great for all ages. Very reasonably priced. Bonus- upstairs if you want to host a party. We will definitely be going back. We highly recommend the Firehouse“

“Great local place for lunch, after work, whenever, or like we recently did - take out. Friendly staff. They have been a mainstay of Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow since forever.Kid-friendliness: No loud music, not a "bar scene" with rowdy customers.“

“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“

“The Jazz Forum was a unique and special experience. Samuel Martinelli and his quartet are seasoned musicians with a delightful passion in their performance. They were outstanding . The service on the overall was on point . Courteous and inviting . The drinks and food are commendable .“

“Took a nice drive to one of our first dates spots… Palisades mall… We always seen this place busy, we decided to give it a try for a late lunch. If drinks is their specialty, then they nailed it. The food paired well deliciously. This is a “we will be back” type of place. Kid friendly too.“

“very nice place and the food was delicious!“

“We went to Rory's on 5/11/24,had a reservation for 7 plus 2 high chairs but they were going to put us upstairs. My daughter had the 9 month olds in their twin stroller. There was no room downstairs. They set up a table in the middle of the banquet room for us. It was great we had the entire banquet room to ourselves. As always the food and service was outstanding.“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“Great food, great atmosphere great place“

“Outstanding service and everything we ordered was excellent and delicious.“

“Tommy Fox's Public House in Bergenfield, New Jersey is a cool bar that has that cool Irish pub feel to it. The service was friendly and the customers were pretty friendly here, as well. I did not try any of the food, but it looked to be what you would expect from a bar. This is definitely a cool.place to gather with some friends and overall, I would recommend here.“

“I'm surprised that I have been living in the area this long and have not been here until now! Went for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The waitress Melissa was very friendly and helpful. The vibes were as if I were at a rock bar without the drunkards. And the food was incredible! Rony made us the juiciest burgers (even better than what I was craving) and personally came to our table to ask how we were doing. 10/10, definitely recommend!“

“Friendly staff good food but one thing i had sirloin steak and I don’t think it was very good very fatty but all in all very good“

“Big group of us (over 20) called in for breakfast before a match in Gaelic Park. Service, cleanliness and staff hospitality were second to none, before I even mention the food. Breakfast was so good we called back after the match for dinner. Even though it was very busy the staff, accommodated us and the food was excellent, would highly recommend for both food quality and price. Special mention to Danielle who couldn't do enough to make our two visits to the Whlistin Donkey very worth while.“

“My husband and I got married at Harvest and it was fantastic! Not only is it a beautiful restaurant inside and out but the food is absolutely delicious! We worked with Danielle who was kind, helpful and responsive! We will be back for sure!“

“Great and affordable food. They did my wedding and all events for my family’s gathering. The owner and staff are very personable. Highly recommend it.“

“Everything ..I’ve been going to the bar for 30years and they also have a great female pool team..come on down and support your local team..chicks with sticks“

“I had the garlic chicken which came with white rice and French fries . Absolutely delicious and flavorful for a good price. Service was good and timed as estimated . The ambiance was vintage but comfy . I'll be back to try other dishes on the menu .“

“i have family who are seniors that live nearby, i go and visit them at least twice a year and thios is where we go every single time....driving by plenty of other spots on the way. Its basically bar food but the best that bar food gets, the service is friendy and accommodating. on weekends i think we were even turned away without a reservation once, so check to be sure.“

“So the place is very authentic with their brick walls. We were seated right as we entered, less than 3 minutes later our server came over to get our order. I had the Alehouse nachos, it was different and tasty (wish they had guacamole to it) , my partner order the cheeseburger egg rolls which came with coleslaw which was nice and crunchy. We then ordered wings, I was kinda sad bc I told her we wanted fries ad well but I guess over the loud sounds she couldn't hear us. I had the mild Buffalo and Thai chili wings, my partner had the jerk wings and as a born Jamaican their jerk wings are official!!!! Seasoned and spicy. Overall the experience was nice, great place to grab a quick bite and watch a few games and drink beer or wine ladies.“

“The food was excellent, and the service was great. Sangria was really superb, even though the portions of the food were not so big. The ambiance is so nice and cozy.I'm definitely going back soon!!!!!Parking: Finding a parking spot close to the entrance of the restaurant can be difficult, especially on busy hours like dinner time.“

“So we were told this place has amazing steaks and it was hard to be in a Irish pub and not get traditional Irish food but we got the steaks as recommended I got the 16oz and my wife got the filet and shrimp special the food was good, not going to say it was the best I ever had or the the worst, we will leave it as it was good . One of my frustrations was that the peppercorn sauce was an additional, based on other places this is something that is normally included or at least can be added, $6 for a cup of sauce was pretty higher, on the other note the sauce was very good The service was good, waitress was attentive as much as needed and not overwhelming or absent. The ambiance is an Irish bar, on one note I would have preferred some Irish music playing vs the 80s music that they had going or on the tvs the news and something bloody. Overall a great experience!“

“Great staff and food. Coming back for the evening music too!“

“Well, hold onto your taste buds, folks, because Moriarty's on McLean Ave is not just a pub - it's a flavor explosion that deserves a galaxy of stars! I'd give it 10 stars in every category if I could, but let's not break the star system.Now, let me tell you about the owner, Peter. This guy is such a gentleman that I was tempted to steal him and take him home as my personal butler. I mean, how often do you find a pub owner who's basically a living, breathing embodiment of class and charm?I've trotted around to more pub restaurants than I can count, but Moriarty's is the real deal - a MUST-GO! The server was like a culinary Wikipedia, dropping knowledge bombs about the menu that left me feeling like a foodie genius. And don't even get me started on the runners - they were so fast, I'm pretty sure they could give The Flash a run for his money. No, seriously, they were faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer.Now, let's talk about the food. It's not just a meal; it's an invitation to a flavor fiesta that will make your taste buds do the cha-cha. I tried combinations I never even knew existed, and let me tell you, they could choke a horse. I'm not saying I tried to feed a horse, but if I did, I'd take them to Moriarty's.In conclusion: GO THERE!!!! And if you're not on your way already, you're missing out on the tastiest adventure of your life. Grab your fork, put on your running shoes, and get ready for a flavor marathon at Moriarty's - where even the horses would give it a thumbs up if they could!“

“5 stars for offering super healthy food in the Rivertowns! The menu has expanded and now includes fajita bowls served in lovely earthenware. The atmosphere has become cozy with soft lighting and beautiful flower filled vases on each table. Great value and service. It was busy on a Tuesday evening; this is good news for anyone searching for healthy delicious food in the area.“

“This gem of a restaurant has earned its place as my all-time favorite Mexican spot in NYC. Not only does it serve up some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting, but it also pairs this culinary excellence with truly outstanding service. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between welcoming familiarity and a lively, fun atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're here for the exceptional food, the top-notch service, or to indulge in what might just be the perfect Margarita, its location near Van Cortlandt Park adds an extra layer of appeal. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Mexican dining in the city.“

“Food was delicious & so were the drinks. Place was nice and cozy. Waiters were mad cool and very attentive to us. First time being there and I will def return. I was happy to see my boy Daniel.“

“Love the two rooms - one for the bar and casual dining. The other for the events and dancing. Drinks and food were great, but the real gem is the dance floor in the back. Large, great lighting, plenty of space to also sit. Used the back room to practice salsa before they started that evening's polish folk dancing.“

“Food was good asked for refill on soda and told no free refills I can see if you are drinking at the bar maybe no refills but when spending money on dinner I think that that is a little bit cheap on their part“

“Seriously the best French food I have had in a while! And for sure the best French Restaurant in NJ.“

“Ordered a quick snack... Chicken empanadas... Crispy and stuffed... And the poblano molé inside and on the side was savory sweet and delicious.So good. Need more next time!The loaded nachos were definitely loaded....And a very good size.Took less than 20 minutes from order to delivery.Next time will be trying the birria tacos!Thank you!“

“This is a very nice spot. If you are a connoisseur of dive bars like I am, you will love the decor and vibe. The customers and bartender were all friendly. Price was about average I guess. Regarding food, they said they only had a small bar pie, and that limited menu sort of gave me the impression that it was probably frozen and heated up, so I passed on the food and just enjoyed a beer and the atmosphere. Definitely a nice spot to grab a drink though. Especially if you are a local in the area of this bar, I definitely recommend it. If you are a fellow dive bar connoisseur, put this one on your list, and unless you happen to be hungry at the time, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Go and enjoy!“

“Food is always hot and fresh very friendly people good prices and a great atmosphere always good people to talk to“

“It’s an old bank turned into restaurant. They still keep all the wonder features from the bank. One of the managers Sean gave us a tour and it was thrilling to see everything up close.Food is impeccable. I had Bronzino. Crispy skin and tender insider. Seared perfectly. We also had wine appetizer dessert. I liked all of them.Service is great. Upon arrival for our reservation, no waiting time. It does get a little loud when the place is full. Great place for dates, hangouts and family gatherings.“

“Always a good time at Sportsman, reasonable prices, good crowd. Menu has the basics but is good. Real cheese steak sandwich, an actual price of meat. Signature sandwich is the moonburger - Taylor ham and cheeseburger together , delicious. Beers are cheap 1.50 drafts and 2.50 pints of bud, premium draft beers 3.50. Pool table, dart boards, lottery. Try it you will like the home town atmosphere.“

“Do you feel brokenhearted no longer feel loved or overwhelmed with emotions. Are you saddened or depressed due to the separation with your partner and you want him/her back, Are you looking for soluti“

“Great food and great service.“

“The papaya salad is a must. The clay pot salmon is delicious and so light. This is definitely my favorite place in Rockland County.“
