I picked this place for my boyfriend's birthday because we love rooftop venues. It's rare to find somewhere in New Jersey with a DJ on a weekday, so I was excited to try it. The atmosphere is definitely beautiful. Unfortunately, the drinks and food didn't live up to it. We started with espresso martinis and were served brown, watery cocktails with espresso beans somehow floating on top--they were terrible. Then we ordered chicken wings with their "crack sauce." The wings were heavily breaded and looked more like fried chicken. We each tried one, but there was no flavor at all. We ended up booking another reservation somewhere else while we were still sitting there and left shortly after. read more

Concourse Club - "Espresso martini" - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Wood-Ridge, New Jersey

Concourse Club is a really cool spot with a different kind of vibe compared to most places around here. The rooftop setting overlooking the runway is something you don't see every day it's actually pretty unique watching planes take off and land while you're having a drink. The atmosphere is great, especially on a nice day or evening. Good music, solid drinks, and just an overall chill place to hang out. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you want something a little different. read more

Came here on a Friday night during the holiday season. There was parking in a lot, which was very convenient. The restaurant is inside the hotel on the top floor. We were seated at a table close to the bar area, which we liked. We ordered lite bites and some drinks. Out drinks were okay, but a tad bit pricey for the amount of drinks we received. Our food was okay was well. The ambiance was beautiful, views were amazing and the music was on point read more

Five stars for Concourse Club. This vintage style rooftop cocktail bar atop the Element by Westin in Wood Ridge New Jersey has an upscale atmosphere and skyline views. I ordered the shishito peppers but the chef burnt them. The bartender was honest and the house sent complimentary calamari which was delicious. The cocktails were amazing. The staff is super friendly and attentive. They turned a small issue into a great night. Highly recommend. Will return soon. read more

This was my first time trying the Concourse Club for drinks and dinner. My friends and I arrived on a Saturday evening. The food was better than expected. We ordered the chicken sliders and the grilled Caribbean garlic shrimp- very good! The drinks were good too, but as we got later into the night they seem to come watered down and less alcohol in them. We had to ask our waitress on an occasion to double check :( I've heard the music and vibes at this place used to be good, but once we moved the party to the rooftop, we were a bit disappointed of the music and some of the people that were allowed in. Nothing against people having fun and being a bit loud, but we saw a few guys being just overly loud and just weird. I'm sure the gals reading this WOULD understand. Service was great though! read more

I'm a little conflicted about how to rate The Concourse Club. On one hand, the drinks, ambiance, and views were fantastic- but the food, just decent, didn't blow me away. That said, this place definitely has a vibe. The decor transports you into a swanky, retro airport lounge. Think bright orange mid-century modern lamps, cozy rounded booths, fireplaces, and a mix of high tops inside an enclosure and an outdoor space with gorgeous city views (even if you're technically perched above a not-so-pretty highway). As for the food, I tried the General Tso's cauliflower, tuna tartare, and the shrimp with fried plantains. The cauliflower was the best of the bunch- sweet, sticky, and not mushy at all. I would've loved more heat, but the texture and flavor were spot on. The tuna tartare was just okay; the wonton chip it came with was thicker than I prefer and lacked that perfect crisp contrast I usually love with tartare. The shrimp were juicy and fresh, but the plantains were super dry and underwhelming. Overall, food value was on the lower side. Drinks, though? Excellent. They were unfortunately out of ingredients for the Tropic Thunder (hilarious name), but the In Full Bloom cocktail I had was well-balanced and strong--with a really nice touch of fresh lychee on top. Service was also solid. One weird thing: it showed no reservations available online, but when we arrived on a Thursday evening, the place was pretty empty. They could really improve their visibility and open up the reservation system- because this is a spot people would go to for the atmosphere and cocktails alone. In short: come here for the vibe, the views, and the drinks. Just don't expect to be wowed by the food. read more

Ambience is great for a girls/guys night out, celebration, date night, etc. nice view and upscale restaurant/bar vibes. Friday night music was great throwbacks! Food was ok. Lobster bao buns were my favorite. The fish tacos were dry and needed more filling and a sauce. General tso cauliflower was tasty but the breading was falling apart. Chicken tortilla soup dumpling were another favorite but the soup is more like a pure at the bottom of 4 small dumplings. The grilled chicken Caesar sliders were decent, nice warm bun was a plus. We ended the night sharing the espresso brownie which was ok. A lot smaller than expected for almost $20. Honestly, it's a bit expensive for food that could be a bit better for the prices they charge as well as the nonexistent service. We had to call our server over a bunch of times (to order more food, drinks, refill on water, retrieve our bill, etc.) Overall nice atmosphere but expensive for food and service that could be better. read more

I was a bit disappointed, but let me explain. The food is definitely overpriced for what you get, but the drinks were solid and the staff was really friendly, which helped balance it out. Honestly, I mainly came for the view and ambiance, and that part did not disappoint at all. It's such a pretty spot and perfect if that's what you're looking for. I went on a Saturday night, so it was pretty busy and things took longer than expected. That said, I really enjoyed hanging out at the bar the bartender I met was so sweet and even recommended I come back on a weekday to really enjoy the view and atmosphere without the weekend rush. I also ended up sparking some great convos with others at the bar, and the DJ definitely had me singing along, which made the night more fun. So I guess not the worst experience overall. Come for the drinks, the view, the music, and the vibes you'll probably leave happy. read more

Awesome ambiance. There's views of the New York City skyline. Large drink menu with good mocktail options also. The service was a little slow at times and a few items from our order were missing initially, but we went on a Saturday night so it was busy. Both the grilled chicken sliders and the smoked cheddar beef sliders were good. The citrus red snapper ceviche was a smaller sized order than expected. The truffle chicken parm "pizza" was delicious and perfectly done, as was the general tso cauliflower bites. The DJ there was incredible and the vibes were great. read more

I was slightly surprised to see the many negative reviews for this restaurant lounge, but can justify what other people have said. I came on a Thursday night and it was not busy at all and no reservations were needed this probably contributed to my positive experience because the server was very attentive up until we got the check. This is located in the Element Hotel on the rooftop. They have a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays that comes on at 9pm until close at 1am. I was pleasantly surprised that the DJ was there on Thursday. Weekday here is a chill vibe, not too loud so you can still enjoy conversation with friends. Food is small plate tapas, but the prices are way too high for what you get. For example, the calamari was good but I feel like I was scammed. It was disappointing that there were only a few pieces of calamari on top, but the bowl is almost entirely pieces of fried onions, peppers, and tomatoes... what a joke! So lesson learned, don't order this. Best thing on the menu is the salmon poke, basically salmon sushi on crispy rice. All in all, you're paying for the experience and ambiance. Cocktails were made well and they do have the fanciest bathroom I've ever seen in a restaurant. read more

Went with a large group and bought most of the menu. Atmosphere is beautiful and drinks were nicely made. Sadly, we were not impressed with the food at all. From the calamari and tacos, to the cauliflower and lobster bao buns. Not good. Service wasn't the best, but were kind. I would only go back to socialize over drinks, not to eat. read more

The food at this place is amazing. Haven't been here since the pandemic and the experience is better everytime. Service can always improve but I have no complains this time.

I highly recommend this place for couples date, dinner with friends or just for a quick happy hour. Yani was an excellent server - very attentive. read more

PROS: This is what I call a James Bond club. Lighting is great, atmosphere is fancy, drinks and food are good, it's spacious, has rooftop section, classy people only show up, and the servers are nice. CONS: They make you use their valet which is $10, so I parked outside of Pepboys instead. Its also tough to find their entrance since its behind the hotel OVERALL: I like the fact that there's no admission charge and the place looks fancy, but if they eliminate the valet that would be a step up read more

Went here for Sunday brunch not too long ago it was kinda empty surprisingly bc I heard this was a new and upcoming spot. DJ was decent a lot of throwbacks, not really anything new but a decent time. The service was a bit slow. A few of our guests were waiting for their meals long after most of us gotten ours. As for the food not a bunch of options unfortunately so Iopted for the steak that wasn't on the brunch menu. I really enjoyed that! It was a good plentiful 16oz steak for a good price. Overall I'd give this place another chance but on a different day. I heard other days / nights are better than Sunday Brunch. But I would NOT return for Sunday brunch. read more

The first impression of this place was a lasting one. A bit of a drive if your coming from the city but well worth it. Accessible parking lot. Once you make it inside you take the elevator up to where the magic begins. The setting immediately makes you feel like your away on vacation. The host sat us immediately. The waiter took no less than 5 mins. The Dj was great i couldn't stop dancing in my seat. I ordered the garden omelette and fruity pebble French toast. I was very pleased with the presentation as well as how delicious it was. My wife even mentioned that the French toast was so good it could go with out syrup. So that being said we found a winner when we found this establishment. I'm already excited to come another time. Would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for the hospitality read more

Ambiance is great, good lighting, seating is comfortable. Came for brunch on a Sunday. At 4pm...they only serve brunch on Sundays. Didn't realize that we would be eating eggs and pancakes so late in the day but my bad...I should have done the research. Drinks were good. Food was sub par. Ordered "fluffy" pancakes for $21 and they were missing the fluff. Overcooked and flat. So expensive for tiny pancakes probably a little bigger than a silver dollar. Also had the chicken caesar sliders and the chicken was overcooked and dry. Disappointed. Service was blah. Restaurant was empty, but our server was basically MIA. Would maybe be back for the views and some drinks. The marketing is clearly is amazing but the execution here is disappointing. Our group left hungry. read more

I found this place while looking for a rooftop spot in northern NJ. Let me tell you, this place is SEXY! It is beautifully designed. It's got great elevated views. All of the staff looked sharp and they were all very nice to my party. I sampled some of their small plates (e.g. Wings, Alfredo Bites, Fries, Sliders etc.). All of them hot out of the kitchen, flavorful and well presented. No complaints there. Their bar service is also top tier! The mixology was very consistent. Each cocktail tasted great and the color, taste, volume was virtually the same with each glass ordered. I recall ordering the "Gap In The Clouds" (Cucumber Vodka, Blackberry, Creme de Violette and lemon sparkling Rose), multiple times and it was great each time. At this point, if everything was so great, why did I pull a star? Reason: I came with a group of 14 people. Unfortunately, I didn't make a reservation because I didn't know we would all be down to go until the night in question. I did call ahead to let them know we were coming because I didn't want them to be overwhelmed by a sudden influx of people. When we arrived the place was basically empty. We asked to be seated at one of the large table areas but they wanted a large table charge of something like $1K+. We declined and chose to congregate at the bar instead. Admittedly, business did increase but several tables remained open. I would bet that as a group we still spent around $1K regardless, in general I don't think people like being forced into a minimum. That's my only gripe with the place because it wasn't yet "Nightlife" hours. Bottom line: This place is pulchritudinous! It's a sexy date spot. Music, food, drinks, atmosphere and service are generally great. They deserve a visit. However, their group service needs a little tweak. read more

Visited this restaurant for Friday night dinner with my bf. This restaurant is a tapas dining so if you are hungry this is not the place for you . This place is to eat small plates and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the New York skyline. However I really enjoyed the music ambiance and small plates and the apple sangria. We shared the small plates and we were still hungry after. read more

This is an upscale spot with great food and drinks. Plenty of parking. We were here on a Fri and a DJ arrived at 8pm. Amazing drinks. We ordered the below appetizers and also the NY strip steake with fries. It was cooked perfectly (medium). This place is a lil pricey but its due to the upscale vibe.

if I could do zero, I would for customer service and the General Manager Amber Summers! We had a reservation for 7:30 pm and even though the restaurant was half empty she wanted to seat us by the bar which was really loud. we ended up having dinner at the end of the restaurant which was not reserved. While leaving, I asked the "General Manager Amber" why she did not seat us there? She said it was reserved. i asked her what time was the reservation? She said 9:30 pm! I told her we came at 7:30pm. I told her I would put this on yelp and she said go ahead, my name is Amber Summers! If you have been discriminated by her, please put your comments! read more

Wish I could say this experience was a great one because I was impressed with the atmosphere and scenery but it was not. The drinks were good, food was okay, but the service was not what we expected. There was a group of five of us and our one friends never received her food. The four of us completely finished our dinner and she still had not received her food. Once we were finished with our food the waitress brought out her food but she got a to go box. Parking is terrible. Good luck read more

Concourse Club provided an outstanding meal, ambiance and service. To start, once you meter you are greeted by a hostess and an amazing view on Manhattan. The dining room is long with the bar stretching nearly the length of the view of Manhattan. We were seated out in the enclosed patio in a booth type seat with a large table and a fireplace near by. Dymen, our server was outstanding and attentive to every detail. Her knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on. We started with calamari and then I had the tomahawk and Caesar and my wife had a shrimp and plantain dish. The food and drinks were worth every penny. Overall, we throughly enjoyed our time and will be back! read more

The NYer in me was super skeptical when my cousins dragged me out to a rooftop bar, in Jersey, off the side of the highway. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The aesthetic of this place was so nice, beautiful booths, huge windows and a pretty nice view of the skyline in the distance. It was pretty empty when we got there so drinks came out so fast. I stayed drinking the Clear Port all night and I woke up basically hangover free. I had some of the arepas and the IPA sliders and both were great, though the burger meat was slightly over cooked. DJ was good, played a good mix of everything. Crowd was pretty meh, def the older type but still a great time overall! read more

Went to the concourse club yesterday for Sunday brunch, and although their Friday nights and Saturday nights are typically a vibe, their Sundays are usually much slower, which is fine. I ordered a Caesar salad, which came out with the stalest croutons I've ever had in my life! They tasted like the croutons were made a week ago with expired bread and put in the fridge. They were stale and definitely made the salad which was already overpriced not worth the price tag. So when I brought this up to the waitress and told her I wanted fresh croutons because the ones that I had were stale, she went in the back and came out two seconds later with more stale croutons, very disappointing. When I told her that the croutons were just as bad as the ones in the salad, she laughed and offered absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. The drinks I had were OK, even though they had to be made twice because the bartender missed an ingredient the first time and didn't add enough of an ingredient the second time. The chicken sliders were tasty so that was the saving grace but again if you order a Caesar salad, which basically only has a couple of ingredients to begin with and the croutons are gross it really throws off your experience. At the very least the waitress could've offered to replace it with something else or offered something additional to rectify the situation. But nothing. She never even bothered to check on us to see if we were enjoying our meal. I gave a good tip at the end because I never like to mess with peoples livelihood, but if the concourse club wants to offer an elevated experience like they claim, they really need to step up their customer service. read more

Party of 5 on a Friday night. Great ambiance, fantastic cocktails and decent food. We ordered gen tso cauliflower, grilled cheese/tomato soup, Alfredo bites, calamari, mushroom tostadas, a few cocktails and shots and the Matilda (chocolate cake) for dessert. Overall food is good, appetizer-sized portions so great for sharing. The grilled cheese and tomato soup wasn't warm enough, and the soup is served in 4 miso spoons which I didn't really care for. Would have preferred a standard bowl. Dessert and drinks were amazing. The music was also great throughout the night. Service was fast and friendly. Our party of 5 bill came to about $100 per person which is a little pricey considering this isn't a fine dining place but overall would recommend. Valet or self park read more

Excellent view. Terrible service. We had to ask to order our drinks and food. We're never offered a refresh of our beverages, never asked how our food was. My lamb chops looked good but were very undercooked and cold. Requested medium rare, they came out barely cooked. I was never asked how the food was, or if I wanted it warmed up. My colleague ordered a steak and, to our dismay, the same thing. It was microwaved and given back. We sat the entire evening with empty glasses and stomachs. Sadly I could not recommend. read more

Call it what it is which is a hotel bar with a pretty nice view, chic decor and mediocre overpriced food. Drinks were okay, nothing great. I stayed at the hotel during COVID after a family member tested positive. I thought the hotel was great. Room was modern, well appointed and I thought the rate was more than reasonable. Decided to head up to Concourse Club for a drink and a bite one night. I was a bit put off having to explain to the bouncer/doorman in the seperate club lobby that I was a hotel guest, looking to get a drink and some food. I mean I'm well over 21, decently dressed and couldn't figure out a reason for the scrutiny. I thought the outdoor igloos looked kind of cool and being that they were all empty, I decided to give one a try. Oh no, I was told they were reserved for whatever. I stopped listening after I was declined admission. Took a seat at the bar, ordered a very average drink and some mediocre food. Can't really call the service friendly, more like businesslike. After being served, I was basically ignored for the rest of the evening. Wasn't asked if I wanted another drink; I did or whether I wanted more food; I didn't. I would say if you're staying at the hotel, you could do a lot worse trying to find drink/food in the area so I'd recommend paying them a visit. If you're not, I'd look elsewhere. read more

Beautiful place, amazing cocktail selection. Can be a bit noisy for me (self proclaimed semi-hermit) but can't beat the view! Great for GNOs, boozy brunches (at least for drinks).

So, I had two different type of experiences here so I want to make it clear that the Concourse club is not meant for a sit down dinner. It is meant more for drinks and apps with a nice view and a grown and sexy vibe. When my friend had her birthday dinner here it was a disaster. The plates are tapas size and she ended up getting sick because her chicken was undercook. When I went back for a date night for drinks and apps, I had a great time. You have a great view. Drinks are good and food is okay. The Concourse club also seems like a great place for single people as alot of people go alone or with friends and it seems like a great place to meet people. My favorite drinks were the Paloma and Distalodo. For food I like getting the wings, fish tacos and sliders. Honestly nothing else stands out to me. Staff is always nice, but I have seen them place favorite at the door. Make sure to make reservations! read more
