Great place. I met a guy named Moke who apparently lives on one of the stools. He had his knee replaced so I bought him 10 drinks to be a nice guy. read more

Adams Beer Garden - Bars Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

Stopped in after a 7 mile hike for a nice cold beer. Cash only and no food. Great beer prices - most beers were $4 and the special was $7 pitchers of Miller Lite. We enjoyed a pitcher and the outdoor area. The set up is great. We came during the day so it wasn't super crowded but I can see this place being really fun at night. The only pitfall of the outside area is that smoking is allowed. read more

Adams Beer Garden - Sunshine and beer - Bars Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

Best bar in Rockaway/Denville area. Where else can you get a ten dollar pitcher of Rolling Rock? Live music is usually fairly solid but the place is small so it gets loud. Outdoor patio is nice: full of kitsch and good for smoking cigars, which they sell inside. They have two good dart boards, some TVs, and a jukebox. read more

They don't serve food but they do serve up a really fun time! Awesome outdoor space! Pool table and darts. They have excellent live music too! This place is a good vibe!! read more

A nice and quaint dive bar in Rockaway located off the beaten path, and if you've neva' eva' been here, your GPS will find the address, but not the bar itself.. So, after your GPS says you've "arrived", just keep heading down Hibernia until you see the bar on the left. Parking can get a bit tight here especially on busy nights.. and I really feel for the people who right next door to this place.. And I mean "Right Next Door." So, upon walking in, you see a pool table and a very nice layout of a bar. It's not round or square, but a pretty neat style. There's quite a bit of beer taps and TVs galore! Also, looks like you can get your dance on here, too! Bar kinda reminded me of a southern type bar... Drinks are strong, beer is cold, and the atmosphere seemed to be very friendly. Drinks were priced pretty good with the quality of your drink. I wore a Pittsburgh Penguins shirt and was expecting to get looks and snide comments after the Penguins beat-down of the Rangers the night before, but nothing.. I can see my wife and I coming back for a cold one.. And they have an outside area that looks fun in the summer and warm times. I am not sure about their food, so can't comment on that. Highly recommended!! read more

Adams Beer Garden - a man standing at the bar - Bars Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

Went here with two friends after a long day at work, I'm 26 and the other two in our group were 26 and 24. Though I'll admit the 24 year old that came with us looks like she's 17, we were immediately greeted at the bar... Not with a hello, or with a "how are you guys doing?" But instead with an immediate request to see our IDs, which we gladly provided. He had this little flashlight and felt like amillion bucks thoroughly checking my ID and the other two and took his time thoroughly inspecting each as if he suspected we were underage. Here's where things took a turn. I commute about 40 minutes north of my home to work near the Willowbrook Mall. Instead of asking me what I wanted to drink, my friends and I were interrogated on what we were doing out of our hometown. It was uncomfortable from the start and the lone grumpy bartender seemed to like things that way. There was a sketchy food counter in the back under dim lighting featuring that classic tacky red-and-white checker styled greaseball environment, I didn't eat but might have it if looked appealing. Out back there's a spacious patio with one TV, a few circular picnic tables and some patio chairs (one of which was ripped but still kept out, the other collapsed under my friend as soon as he went to take a seat on it) I bought a cigar, it was ok. Wouldn't recommend. If this place didn't serve beer it'd have nothing else going for it. Zero stars but the lights were on. read more

walked in - saw only 3 people there and walked out. Looks like it's probably fun in the warmer weather. read more

Great bar! Plenty of craft beer on tap, a very well stocked humidor and a great patio if you want a cigar. If not, the bar itself is a great place to hang out. Pool table, darts, foosball and big screen TVs. Not at all hard to find, GPS took me right to it, parked in front and walked in the front. They did have some food out when I was there but I don't know if that is normal. Don't arrive on an empty stomach. My new favorite place. read more

Enoyed my gin and tonic $8. played darts, pool, and some foosball. Had a cigar outside. beautiful clean seating and the sky is amazing at night. They also have cigar ash trays to leave your cigar if you want to finish it later. CASH ONLY ATM INSIDE read more

Bob- I've never heard anybody complain about the size of a TV being too big! maybe its just because you're a squirt and intimidated by the size of the TV. Apparently, Bob, you don't get out enough, because if you think the Exchange is so mainstream, why don't you go play darts for them? Oh i forgot, they don't have a dart team or a pool table. And as if I see your picture it reminds me that you're not very well liked. Glad you're not there anymore. Nice glasses in your picture, did you get them at the Exchange in a raffle???? Adam's is probably nicer than your house, so if it's a dump what is your house like? As if I remember your face as a bartender, you dont tip well, so why would I buy you a beer?? read more

Adams has become known for a local dive bar within the community and beyond. They have lots of bands, darts, and a billiards table. All types of beer available too. Hungry? don't worry about stumbling to Quick Check.. He keeps plenty of munchy food on standby. No matter where you look, there is a tv around the bar. And by far the best attraction is a large wall size HD plasma flat screen that let's you see a pimple on Marty Broduers face as the puck is shot passed him. Adams' as it grows in crowd, serves as alot of potential especially given it's remote location. But if you want a good time with a very diverse crowd, this is the place. read more

Great local place in Rockaway. Over a dozen televisions so you can watch any football game you want on Sunday, or any other game of your choosing in the evening. Sundays they also have a few free food items, hot dogs, and sometimes a bbq smoker. They sell the usual bar food, chips, pretzels, and small bar pies too. Live bands on most weekend nights. They have a huge enclosed outdoor deck in the back where you can relax and lounge with your cigars, which they also sell, or you can just hang outside and enjoy the weather. Plenty of chairs, tables, and umbrellas for your choosing. The bar has been renovated in recent years and allows for more patrons, along with a more diverse selection of draft beers. They also have refrigerators for packaged goods if your looking for a quick pickup. They have a juke box, pool table, two dart boards, and a foosball table & cornhole in the back deck shed. Whether your looking for a place to just grab a drink with friends, spend some time watching sports, or just enjoy some live music you should check this place out. This place is cash only, but there is an atm inside. read more

It's a quiet place. I wouldn't really call it a sports bar. There is no kitchen, only snacks, chips etc and that is not an option for me when I'm drinking and smoking. The staff was not very friendly. read more

They have great tap beer and get pretty good bands. They also sell package goods. Their customers are a broad demographic.

These guys are just awful behind the bar. Served me an awful tap beer that they had to let run and pour 6 times. I asked nicely for a bottled beer cause there lines are disgusting and the bar tender was nothing but a rude cocky arrogant guy. Never go back gross beer even worse attitude. All I asked for nicely was a beer I could enjoy. Was out with my wife and we don't get out a lot. This place is gross read more

Not a bad place. Darts, pool table, and juke box. Outdoor deck area in back is also nice for warmer weather.

Not great if I do say so inside is dirty. Extremely poor selection for a "beer garden". The deck out back is nice but sporadically furnished. All in all just a strange place to stop for a drink. read more

Awesome place to have a beer, and a smoke. While chilling with friends and listening to great music.

Very cool, clean and nice old school bar (decor) with awesome twists. Plenty of TV's, awesome humidor and a multitude of beers on tap. Too bad we won't be going back, one bartender was awesome, but the girl bartender had an attitude a mile long, certainly enough to turn us off. read more

Popped in here last night after not being here for quite a few years. We were in the area and figured we'd give it a try for a night-cap before hitting Rt 80 on our way home. Walking in, the first thing I saw (which I didn't remember from years earlier) was the pool table. HUGE PLUS!! We made our way to a somewhat empty spot at the bar and ordered a couple of craft beers (they accept the NJ Craft Beer card - another HUGE PLUS!! This card/membership provides discounts at certain bars/restaurants/liquor stores - and Adams offered $1 off certain craft beers) Hubby ordered a Lagunitas IPA and I ordered the Magic Hat winter ale. Both served in a shapely Heineken glass which the bartender mentioned we could have after we finished our beers (they had a promo and received a bunch of glasses and he stated he really didn't have the storage - we are beer aficionados and we also "collect" beer glasses from various bars, so we don't have the room either -but it was nice to know we could have had them) Interesting crowd of youngster college aged type kids and an older (more our age) biker crowd. The bartenders were pretty attentive and I asked if there was live music...there was - a blues band (YAY! we love the blues). So, I put some quarters on the table, waited a few minutes and it was my turn. There was a small but decent amount of pool sticks and the table was in good condition (and I played for about an hour or so) - there were about 15 TVs on - sports all over - fishing/football/hockey (Go Devils....but boo, they lost). The interior itself could use a little overhaul but it's fairly clean - it's just a little 'divey' looking - but that always works for us - no pretentiousness - everybody got along and most seem to know each other. The crowd was pretty friendly (especially when they realized I could play pool with the best of them!!). Decent bar - would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area on a weekend. there is also a 'cigar patio' and there is a selection of cigars in a cabinet. Hubby noticed that there was a white film/powder on them - not sure what that is about, but if you have your own, I'm sure you could partake during a nice weather night. read more

I cannot agree with Bob V. I am not a super regular customer but the staff are friendly enough, the place is spotlessly clean, and in my view (playing 30+ years), the dart boards are the best, and best lit, of the local pubs. This place is no palace but it does the job. Even the bands are sometimes OK read more
