    I've wanted to check this place out for ages, however when I finally did I was in a bit of a rush and feel I need more time to get to know it better. Therefore since I cannot give 3.5 Stars I will give my very first Probationary 4 Star review! Located in a quiet part of town this neighborhood pubby restaurant has street parking ( and I heard outside dining in the rear). The waiter who greeted us at the door was friendly & helpful. Decent crowd at the bar for a Wednesday evening. A lot of craft cocktails, craft beers, Happy Hour Specials. I tried a Voodoo Child ( whiskey based) cocktail and it was excellent. I definitely would like to come back to have a few drinks and chat up the place as I feel it's a good place for that, but it's the food that can keep you there a while. THE FOOD... Well a place like this deserves to have some food to match the bar's attitude. Medium sized menu had many yummy sounding options but that's where it went flat... ---Buffalo or dry rubbed wings..nice size but flavor? ...MEH! The Buffalo was merely slathered in some sort of hot sauce and did not stand out. The dry rub was "good" but it needed a signature spice to make it stand up ! ---Deviled eggs ( 4 pieces to an order) with bacon, radish, and dill. A little small on size but that's OK if it POPS. These did not and won't make it to the Chris A Deviled Eggs Hall of Fame ( see my New Orleans reviews for the killers) ---Street Corn Tots.. don't bother. Merely regular tater tots sprinkled with corn, chipotle mayo, cilantro, and cotija cheese. (NOTE: I predict that for 2025 you will see some sort of Mexican Street Corn on every menu, everywhere!! Remember kale a few years ago?) However the redeeming grace was the simple cheeseburger on a nice brioche bun! Delish! Perfectly medium rare inside with a rich full crispy char-grill flavor on the outside. I mean a really good burger. So there you have it.... a reason to go...and a reason for me to go back. Great drinks and a burger which is a good start. And the opportunity to try more items.

    Loved coming here for dinner. Very unassuming from street but inside it's another story - a beautiful space and much larger than I expected. We brought our preschooler and were seated in the back room which was somewhat quieter than the main lounge, which was great. All the food and drinks we had were great and the little one was entertained by the coloring on the kids menu. Our server and host were also very kind and welcoming. When we left, our son was asking about when we'd return - definitely soon!

    10/10 for christmas spirit and decorations! This was a great place to go around the holidays and have a lunch and some drinks. The staff was friendly and they really go all out for the holidays. The best thing we ate were the chicken wings for sure! I probably wouldn't get the avocado toast again but the chicken sandwhich with fries was crispy and had a nice spice!

    I love this bar. This is my new favorite cocktail bar. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other cocktail bars. The ambiance is very classy and comfortable. The service is great the bartenders check in with you and even recommend drinks to your liking.

    This is a cozy fun bar in Nutley, NJ. When you walk in, it looks like a Christmas bar because of all the wonderful lights and decorations. They have a special Christmas drink menu and all the jolly drinks are served in adorable Christmas drink ware. Bonus: They have the Christmas mugs for sale! The bartenders are dressed in ugly sweaters and they look like they belong in the North Pole serving up Christmas cheer! We didn't order any food, but the food I saw come out, looked good. As for the drinks, the best one was the hot toddy drink served in an adorable Santa mug. I had to buy the mug! There was also a Krumpus drink that my BIL seemed to enjoy. Aside from the Christmas drink menu, they serve craft beers, wine and cocktails.

    The ambiance was amazing because their holiday decor is beautiful. When we entered we were greeted and IDed. We had reservations which seem to be a must. The place is not huge. I understand places trying to optimize space but it just felt so close together and I wasn't a fan of it. Food was ok. Fries weren't all the way cooked. Skirt steak was perfectly cooked for me. The drink was delicious yet strong. Service was okay. I did like that they brought over the dessert menu and left it instead of us having to decide right in the moment. We didn't get a dessert but I enjoyed the skirt steak sandwich and my sister had the fried chicken one. Would come back but for brunch as per my sister's recommendation.

    A nice family place with live jazz and food in an old big house. Many types of drinks. Very beautiful place. Friendly staff.

    The cocktails and happy hour options were amazing. The drinks were pretty and tasted good. We had small bites. I highly recommend the prince mussels and pretzel. Both really good options. Also, the oysters were always a good choice. The bartender and servers were extremely nice and attentive so I can appreciate their hospitality.

    I'm going to start by saying, the only reason this is getting more than a 1, is because the waitress tried her absolute best to accommodate (she refunded some terrible tasting tacos, and brought a round of shots before we left). Ambiance: This is the only 5/5. If you want to come here for a drink and some light jazz it's beautiful, rustic, and not too loud. Food: Cauliflower Tacos 1/5 No flavor, came to the table cold, the initial tortillas were definitely not even stuck on the pan. They tried to just bring new ones, but by then the rest of the taco was cold anyway. Chicken Tacos 2/5 They tripled up the shells, there wasn't much flavor until I added hot sauce, which was a little disappointing because I was excited about the aioli Fish & Chips 3/5 Very to the point as far as flavor. Burger 4/5 Wings 4/5 Could have been a little more crispy, but the flavor was great Fries 4/5 Could have had more flavor and been crispy Deviled Eggs 4/5 Shrimp 4/5 Interesting Thai chili type flavor and came with fries Steak 2/5 It was asked for a replacement over the mashed potatoes, and they forgot. The steak is only a few cubed pieces so not remotely worth that price tag for a location like this. Not much flavor I'd maybe return if I was in the area for a business meeting, and just wanted a quiet spot with drink and oyster specials, but food wise this really isn't it...

    Breakfast burger sweet potato fries
    Kimberly G.

    Came for brunch and enjoyed it! I ordered the omelet of the week. I was a little disappointed I couldn't order it with egg whites only, but it was still fantastic and the homefries were super crispy and delicious. My husband ordered the breakfast burger with sweet potato fries. There ended up being an upcharge for sweet potato fries which we weren't told when we were given it as an option for a side but they were fantastic and crispy. We shared the overnight oat parfait which was also delicious. It was very sweet though so I would recommend it as a dessert instead of an app. Overall brunch was super tasty and the portions were large. Our server was very friendly. The vibe was cozy. I'd definitely come back to try other foods and order the sweet potato fries again!

    Cowan's it's at this time of the year has the whole bar/restaurant full with Christmas decorations, the cocktails are served in Christmas glasses too.. I used to go there a lot and just figured that i forgot to let a review.. the drinks are always amazing, service is very good too. They have a "small variety " on the menu, but the food is delicious too.

    Met three friends here. We had reservations and were seated upon arrival even though one of our friends was running a bit late. For apps we ordered the chicken lollipops and the spinach and artichoke dip. Both were well cooked and tasty. My cocktail was also good. The yuka chips had good texture to them- crispy and thin however they seem to have been soaked (for too long) in vinegar. I only had one and could not stomach the rest. For my entre I ordered the classic cheeseburger. Unfortunately, it just was not it for me. I love cheeseburgers and this one left a lot to be desired. A cheeseburger is so basic it's just a huge no-no to ruin one. It lacked flavor. The meat was over cooked (I ordered medium). I took two bites and didn't finish it. Definitely left disappointed. On a positive note, while we waited for our entre another server approached our table and apologized for the longer than usual wait for our meals. He said they were short staffed and our waitress was serving on both sides of the establishment. Little did they know we didn't even notice. Nonetheless, it was nice that they let us know because communication can make a huge difference in a customers ability to be empathetic and patient. Our server was great and knowing she was being overworked means she did an even better job. Kudos to her. I, however, likely won't return.

    In the heart of Nutley is a cute little speakeasy, we came here not knowing it was happy hour and man they had some great deals! I had the old fashion and my cousin had a drink as well. I ordered the chicken lollipops which were a tad bit crispy but still very delicious. She ordered the chicken sandwich which she said was on some pretty delicious focaccia, she eat the entire thing. Despite it being busy our server was super accommodating and attentive to us, we will be back to try the rest of the drinks on the rest of the menu!

We ordered them, and let me tell you, this wasn't some dainty little wrap. This was a full on, two hands required, no talking for five minutes situation. Packed with all the breakfast essentials and wrapped up like a gift to humanity, it was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what brunch dreams are made of. Every bite basically said, "You made the right decision today." The rest of the menu has all the brunch classics with a fun twist, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked like it deserved its own photoshoot.

Like the brewpub, Silk City Distillery had been on my wish list, and it was not until I arrived at Ghost Hawk that I noticed that they were adjacent to each other, allowing me to check both off at once. The tasting room was adorned with barrels that were holding their vast selection of spirits, such as bourbon, whisky, rum, gin, vodka, and more. They also offered a handful of regular and high-top tables, which we were easy to obtain on that afternoon (given the outdoor options as well), but typically reservations were recommended. Though the seating was comfortable, the temperature was not. In fact, it was freezing in there, and we, along with a lot of other parties, switched tables multiple times to find the best fit. We approached the counter to order from their lengthy cocktail list, which included standard and more custom cocktails. I decided on their rendition of a Lime Rickey, asking for it to be made with their gin. The tart, sour, and sweet drink was light and refreshing. I enjoyed each sip so much that I wound up getting a second round. While many distilleries offer a few types of alcohol and a handful of cocktails, the Silk City Distillery went above and beyond with their vast array of options. Any connoisseur should enjoy the place!

We only ordered it because so many menu items were unavailable. They were out of the Chicken Milanese, the short rib pappardelle, the spare ribs, and the butternut squash soup and probably more. It felt like everything one of us wanted to order wasn't available, which was pretty disappointing. Service was friendly, but there were a few small mix-ups. When I asked what was their house wine, I was told they didn't have one even though it was printed on the menu. And I ordered my pizza with pepperoni on the whole pie and artichokes on half, and got half plain and half roni and chokes. My friend enjoyed their tomato soup, and said the espresso martini was very good. Overall, it has a cute atmosphere and nice staff, but with so many items unavailable, the experience fell short for us. Would come back and just sit at the bar for appetizers and a cocktail.

It tasted more like cornbread, and not the slightly sweet kind like Jiffy, but more savory and noticeably salty. It was also pretty dry. The mascarpone cream and berries helped balance things out a bit, but I'm not sure if too much lemon or salt was added because my pancake leaned heavily on the salty side. I also tried the "All Night Long" drink, which I actually really enjoyed.It was strong and well-made, and I'd definitely recommend it. Overall, while the ambiance and drinks were highlights, the food didn't quite meet expectations. I can't say I'd rush back, but if I did, I'd be curious to try one of their dirty sodas instead.

    We love this place. We recently found out about it because we saw a few social media videos talking…read moreabout their daily specials and new management which enticed us because we didn't know much about what they offered before. 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!

    Food & drinks was good when me and my friends went on the weekdays. We tried to go on UFC night…read morebut the experience was meh. They had a DJ play music the whole fight card except for the last main match. I mean, they should just have him play between rounds or something. The pork sliders were cold too but the server was good and consistent throughout the night with cold beers.
