We were…read morethere right at open during the farmers market and there was an initial rush that died down after 15 or so minutes. The bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the products; answering some questions I had about proofing. It's in a great spot downtown right next to the farmers market with plenty of street parking. There are a few sidewalk tables but a nice open space inside. The inside doesn't allow dogs, however, due to their kitchen. Speaking of... The pizza was pretty good! I feel the most important part of any pizza is the crust and that was the best bit of theirs. The fresh ground flour adds a ton of flavor and they got a decent char on the bottom and rim. The prices weren't terrible and 1 pizza with some booze fed both of us. My only gripe is that they go heavy on the cheese so the (excellent) crust can't hold up to the weight and wetness. That's made a bit worse by they fact that they use a high-moisture mozzarella so there's a lot of grease that can soup the whole deal up. All in all they make fantastic spirits, service is great, and now have good pizza at a decent price. I think this may be my go to spot for meeting friends when I'm in Northfield.

My husband debated between the chicken pot pie and Mac and cheese and ended up with the pasta. We all thought it was delicious but he felt it was a small portion size.

Surprisingly the Dubai Chocolate drink was my favorite. My mom ordered a few snacks & enjoyed them especially the Japanese snack mix. I'd definitely like to come back.

The work, creativity, flavors, and cultural integration that goes into each cocktail makes the experience so memorable. I will say, the on top, is the interaction with the staff every time I go. If you want a unique first time experience, that will make you want to keep coming back, check out Skaalvenn! @tysonschnit and @mrs.skaalvenn are the passionate and amazing owners/distillers. Through the years @metaldave77 @ragealienmixology and @chase.heck.5 have made each experience more incredible! They have an assortment of cocktails, n/a cocktails, bar snacks, bottles of their spirits to go (also in stores), and merch! I picked up a bottle of their Habanero Rum!

My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.
