    Surprised to find a local spot with excellent freshly made wings It's a local bar in lyndhurst , service and wings was excellent Stella on draft, cold as it can be . Beer was excellent, fresh clean crisp taste Wings was the star for this night , perfectly made , crispy and the right balance of sauce The sauce off wings was also crispy and comes with sauce on the sides to dunk the wings in . Bartender were cool they chat with local and new customers but if u want to have a chill night with a beer in one hand and wings on the other they won't bother u . Will be coming back for me -

    If you're looking for a nice hangout spot with a wide selection of alcohol, a good bartender, attentive staff, awesome food, nice atmosphere, many TVs, beer pong tables, pool tables, dart boards, mini dance floor, indoor and outdoor hangout and probably more that I missed. Then this is the place to check out, because most importantly, it's fun!

    "Retro" feel bar.. beers nice and cold

    Just moved into town, figured id check this place out since its within walking distance from my house. We went on a Tuesday so it was quiet so i cant say how it is on weekends. Love that it has an outdoor patio ! Beer was nice and cold, wings were very good. They have pool tables and darts upstairs, that works for me! Staff was friendly, Ill def be back.

    Awesome wings! 50 cent wings on Monday and Wednesday worth every cent!!!

    Cool spot I have been scoping out since I moved to Lyndhurst last summer. They have 50 cent wings every Monday and Wednsday Night and thats what we came for. The bar looks like an awesome spot for the summer due to the fact that they have an out door patio with a tiki bar, an upstairs pool room, darts, small dance floor and I believe kareokee. Theres plenty of space and seating both indoors and out. It looks like a typical Irish pub on the inside with witty signs and sarcastic anecdotes and bumper stickers plastered on the walls. It's definetly a locals kind of hangout but not grimy at all. In fact it seems like a fun place. The Bartender was nice and patient and funny. The wings came out hot fresh and tasty, they were actaully really good, escpecially for the price! the drinks were good and the prices low to average depending on what you got. I will def be back !

    Sunday Funday- what does one in North Jersey need to succeed for a Sunday Funday than a juke box, a room of pool tables and dart boards. Awesome! We loved it! Plus they have a calculator next to the dart board for easy adding haha. Great time! Def a must to finish with an Amazing outdoor tiki bar!!

    Nice little spot good for hanging with friends or watching a sporting event. The food here is not the best but the waitresses are super nice. Smoking is allowed in the outdoor area. Drin prices are good. I ordered a pull pork dish - The pork did not taste good - truthfully to me it tasted like pork chunks that had been victims of frost bite. The BBQ sauce was most likely some jar sauce. The pulled pork was more chuck pork then pulled pork - so it was clear to me the kitchen staff really didn't care what they served their customers. I most likely will not come back to this place and I will not recommend this place for dining. I might recommend this place for late night with friends for drinks. The restaurant does have 4 - 6 beer pong tables setup in the outdoor area.

    All around fun atmosphere! Convenient Patio on the outside to sit and relax while eating and/or drinking. Service is fast, food is great and the bartender is awesome. Beer pong on the outside patio is an option or upstairs has pool tables & darts. Come here with friends or family and your bound to have an awesome time.

    Dart board with calculator next to score board!

They have great happy hour specials and staff who are there to honor the deals and give you a fun experience. Nothing worse than walking into a bar because of an advertised deal and the bartender charging you full price because they didn't know anything about the deal. That doesn't happen here which is huge!!! They have multiple TVs and seating areas, which make it perfect for watching sports. Drinks are great and food is delicious. We love the chicken quesadilla and wings. The espresso martini was surprisingly good. We love their drink pitchers as well. Overall you can tell they care about the community, and want to offer a reliable and fun experience in an area that doesn't have too many bars like this. We have returned multiple times since the first time because we love the consistency, fun events, and friendly staff. The only thing they could improve on is the music. When there's a DJ, it's a great night, but when it's up to Touch Tunes there's room for improvement. We still will return whenever we are looking for a good time!

For dinner my son got the rib eye cheese steak sandwich with no onions and peppers. He gave me a thumbs up. The bread was nice and soft. I only know this because I moved it to take a picture. I got the half Chicken with rice and beans. Skin on the chicken was crispy and the chicken was juicy. Came with a side of green sauce to dip. Price was very affordable. I hope they get a good jump start and keep the quality right where it is because this has a ton of potential. You can dine in as well if you wanted to.

    Came during brunch but was really hankering for their French dip sandwich. A tad bit of a bummer,…read morebut on the bright side I got to try out their brunch menu! We tried the Ham & Brie Croissant with Tavern Fries. The Croissant was big enough for two of us to share and SOO good. I had the Golden Peach Martini while my girlfriend ordered the Brown Butter Old Fashioned. I'm not typically one to order an Old Fashioned so I always try hers out -- this has to be a top 5 for me!! This was my second time coming to Union. I had initially come in the fall for a Yelp Elite event but I've been wanting to come back ever since. For a "bar," their food and drink list is elevated and better than most! Shout out to our server Mariah! She said the bar had poured too much prosecco for another table, so we got to enjoy some complimentary prosecco -- can't let that go to waste! ;) Parking in East Rutherford can be tough at times, but I do love that Union has their own lot with plenty of parking.

Ownership really did a great job creating a very cool, city-style, modern atmosphere. Before writing this review, I had to really think about what UB&P really is and (duh!) the name says it all. This is more of a bar first and food ( provisions) secondary. As long as you visit with this in mind you should have a good experience. Well lit, well stocked bar with as pair of large TVS for watching a game. Not a craft beer bar but ok on the wine selection and it has an interesting craft cocktail list. However the drinks sounded better than they were made. My dining companion and I have had our fair share of Old Fashions and Lychee-style martinis. The versions here GOLDEN PEACH MARTINI & BROWN BUTTER WASHED OLD FASHIONED fell flat. At $16-18 per, they need to get better. As for food, a very small menu ( which I do like at times) but this one doesn't have anything that says "I have to try that!" Again I'm feeling that what with all the great restaurants in the next town it makes sense to push the alcohol here more than the food. We split he hummus platter which was very good; For our main course: the house burger ( with fries) and meatloaf ( with sauteed spinach and pureed potatoes). The burger was very good and cooked as ordered. The meatloaf was good\ok, but I have the opinion that most of us already have a version of our favorite meatloaf from somewhere else ( mom's, spouse's, our own). A side of cornbread was ordered too. I find most places make it too dry but this version was very good. Do NOT expect to have dessert here as it is almost non-existent. No menu and only a few generic choices like cheesecake, chocolate cake, creme brulee ( they had 1 left on a Wednesday night! really? ) Anyway, good place for catching the game with some drinks. Food here if needed to keep the night going. They just need to do a little work on those cocktails.

At its core, it honors regional food heritage while continually reinventing itself with new techniques and cultural perspectives. Located on Park Avenue in the heart of Rutherford, my partner, our friends, and I determined to start 2026 for brunch as first-timers. The reservation was easily made by calling the restaurant. Upon arrival at Sonoma Bistro, we were greeted by the staff and got a table by the back wall decorated for the holidays, evoking a festive, warm, casual, and inviting vibe with music playing throughout. For some of us as a starter, we decided on the beef empanadas. As a main meal, we opted for Steak Sandwich, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Veggie Omelette, My Big Breakfast, and Bistro Omelette. Washed down a Hugo Spritz for toasting to the New Year. Each dish felt like a work of art, as it was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and deliciously tasty. The chef focused on sourcing local, seasonal ingredients to ensure freshness. Our service was attentive and super friendly. Our server was George. The price was reasonable.

They do have coffee so that's a plus. And the coffee is made with a French press. Very tasty. They have a good menu. Something for everyone. We started off with the guacamole app and clam chowder. The guacamole is plentiful and tasty. Also the salsa was delish too. My table patrons didn't like the clam chowder. They said it was too salty. For the mains we ordered the roasted chicken, hot chicken sandwich and the Cajun seafood alfredo The Hot chicken was divine and huge. You won't be disappointed with that one. Good amount of spice. The roasted chicken was lemon rosemary jus was delicious as well. I ordered the pasta which was supposed to come with jumbo shrimp and andouille sausage. As soon as I received my dish I asked the waitress where the sausage was, she couldn't answer but went to get her manager. The manager said normally it's under the pasta. Still, no sausage in the pasta. They apologized and made the sausage and added it to the pasta. I wish that was the only issue. The menu states that it's a cajun Alfredo sauce and hate to say but this was just bland. Not flavorful at all. 2 waiters recommended it but I'm not sure why. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5.

If you get her as your server, it's a start to a pleasant and great meal. Angelina knows what she's talking about! One feedback would be to learn how to better time the serving of the foods. We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.
