I know Gordon Ramsey visited a few years back but if he improved the place...I think that's questionable. This is a nice place for people golfing or anyone wanting to sit outside and enjoy the scenery (much like sunset pub in Lincoln Park), but it is pricey bar food. The nachos had all ingredients that were definitely store bought and everything else is simplistic on the menu. The buffalo chicken wrap was fine, nothing special or outstanding. The servers were all very sweet. The drinks from the bar are very Instagram worthy and I have to say the sweet tea was delicious. They have bands and trivia night so this definitely would be a nice bar to go to for a night out but wouldn't return solely for the food. read more

Food was good...I ordered coors light and was told they had run out of bottles so I asked for draft and was told they were out of draft so I got a can of outdated coors !! I'm guessing Gordon Ramsey needs to return !!! read more

The food was cooked to our liking and was delicious. Our waiter Alex was awesome very attentive and polite. I will definitely revisit read more

Stay Away food poisoning!!! We can't go back because my wife and my friend's wife got sick from their food on separate occasions. Pity because the location is beautiful and the wait staff is friendly. My guess is that owner must be a cheap stupid and disgusting person. read more

Food, drink, terrible... and service was Soooo slooooooowww.. When we asked to cancel our children's food they said they couldn't cancel it. The only thing this establishment has going for itself, is the band and outdoor patio... Unless you want to be aggravated, avoid it at all costs.. To think they even added 20% for gratuity with terrible service... Never again.. read more

The scenery is beautiful and you are able to watch sunsets as you eat. The restaurant is on a golf course which also makes it have a fun vibe to it eating as people play in front of you. The service was average, waiter took our order promptly, very standard procedure. We ordered cocktails, which were tasty however I do think they might've been watered down/not very strong (which isn't a bad thing, but if I'm paying for a drink I shouldn't be questioning if it had alcohol in it or not). The chicken tenders and sliders were good, but standard nothing special. However, the avocado special sandwich I thought was delicious and would most definitely order again! We also ordered the chocolate temptation cake which was standard chocolate cake nothing crazy. read more

This place was not good at all! I will never go back-don't waste your time. The food was ok-nothing special. The service was awful, nothing came out right. I had a coupon from yelp for a free appetizer with an entree-they would not honor it, said they had never seen it before. I asked for the manager and the waitress said there wasn't one there. Absolutely never again. Probably fine for lunch after golf but not for dinner. read more

Service was not up to par by any means. Place was empty Our apps came no plates napkins or utensils We just started our app and the food came Had to flag down the wait staff several times to get necessary needs to eat I have been waiting to come here and was excited but now I will come only for live music and drinks So much potential it's sad bad management in my opinion or maybe the owner read more

Had a birthday party for 70 people on the patio was a BBQ and EVERYTHING was just PERFECT the food was delicious, the staff and owner Jorge was so attentive to every detail the band was great our guests had such a wonderful time ! read more

Manager and Hostess are very unprofessional and terrible communicators. Threatening to call the police on customers who felt they were unfairly treated for wanting to enjoy dining on the patio. Ultimately the rest of staff were great but the manager and leadership shouldn't be managing a lemonade stand!! read more

Owner hid when we asked to speak with him. We were the only customers besides the family of the band. The place was empty, yet there was a lack of bar service. This place will never survive. You treat your old school customers horribly, yet where are all the young people? There were none!!! Bartenders were absent. Our server however was excellent. He tried.wont be back! Food was just ok. read more

Great outside entertainment space. Not too much going on inside probably because of covid, but the drinks were very good. The bartender was very creative and accommodating. They had a bottle of casamigos mezcal and she was creative took time to look up recipes w me online and the drink turned out really good! The food was amazing also. I would come back to see The Kootz band play again and especially for the drinks. read more

Love the redecorated dining area inside and patio seating is always a favorite. The staff is attentive and I haven't had a meal I didn't enjoy. The menu has definitely been kicked up a notch so kudos to the chef. My friends and I especially love going there when Koverup and London Calling are playing and dance, and dance, and dance! read more

The outside patio area is lovely. Views of the golf course are great as well. The inside has potential, but needs some revamping. Such a large spacious area, some decor could be added to add to atmosphere. I came in for a party and we had a closed off section outside with food. The food was good and the drinks were great. I had ordered a coconut mojito. I really enjoyed that. read more

Ok so I'm going to say something of rather write something and it's not me being nasty or cruel it is actually an idea for this place. I think that this place would be a great candidate for that show bar rescue and I'll tell you why.... The food is great. I had one of The best freshest most tasteful veggie wraps I've ever eaten in my life there whoever the chef is he's doing a wonderful job even the fries were very tasty and didn't need ketchup or salt. But that's where it ended , everything else well basically was not good. I ordered a specialty drink it took about 10 minutes to get when it came to me I wanted to gag didn't taste like there was any alcohol whatsoever and it tasted like cheap store bought mixer. Awful. I think it was my first time in a bar in my life not ordering a second drink. The service was not good it was to female bartenders who instead of even trying to start a conversation with me just stay down at the other end of the bar talking to only the male customers or to each other which made me super uncomfortable. I then moved my chair over without complaining because they had some sort of strange air-conditioning system and it was blasting right on me I didn't complain when the girl came over she walked in so I moved and I just said oh I was really cold reply was well it's very hot out Like I was in aware of that.. The atmosphere it's self is very blah I feel like they could've done something really cool with such a big space but it was so boring and I almost felt like I was in the school cafeteria very strange. I actually had a Groupon for here that was valued at $20 I didn't spend $20 and when the girl saw it she said oh order something else because it has to be $20 I then replied it doesn't say it has to be $20 and I don't care about losing four dollars I'd really don't see myself returning read more

Good for happy hour, sunset, and a nice view of the golf course. Service is great food is average. You get what you pay for.

This place should be ashamed of what they serve people, and the price they charge! Ordered a cheese omelet breakfast, including a drink. $16.00! For what? An omelet with NO CHEESE, stale bread they used for toast, and the home fries were obviously from the night before! They were all stuck together, hard and greasy! Never again! When the staff was told about the horrible food, they didn't even offer a discount or complimentary water! Absolutely gross! They have the name of this place right, because all my money went " In The Drink" eating here! read more

What a great find! Live music, great view, surprisingly good food! Staff was friendly and casual. We went for Open Mic night and the talent was amazing. We started with wings and nachos, both hot so be warned for wimps like me. I had the salmon over rice, friends had salad, Avocado sandwich special and skirt steak. All good! We also had quesadillas bc the waitress recommended them. Every night they have drink specials and entertainment and live music on several of the nights. Sitting outside was great for the atmosphere but bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are brutal. Ping pong and TVs in the bar and plenty of room for seating or hanging at the bar. We will certainly be back! read more

In the Drink Restaurant and Bar - Fun spot! Good find!!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Love this small, local establishment. It's our go to place for a great night out, close to home. The staff is friendly, especially the hostess Joyce. The food is good and the atmosphere is perfect. Live music on Friday and Saturday just pushes this rating over the top. The only way it could be better is if they expand and make seating right on the putting green. I know the golfers aren't going to give that up. Make a reservation or be patient. It's so popular these days because of all the details I previously mentioned that it gets quite crowded. They are doing what other restaurants have been doing since Covid and reserving seating in time frames. If you come earlier you may have a time frame of 2 hrs in which to eat. Doesn't matter... still a local gem! read more

Guacamole ok, if over-blended and bland. Accompanying chips crisp. Salmon cooked to my "lightly cooked" order. Institutional mashed potatoes (boxed?). Broccoli over-salted to the point of tasting only salt, not the broccoli. Zucchini ok. Sterling pinot noir remained blend-like despite repeated swirlings. Patio eating very tranquil. read more

The owner is a douche, stick to a breakfast menu, not good enough for anything else other then wraps and breakfast... service was okay nothing special... read more

The outside of this place is so pretty. We have eaten on the patio twice because well when the weather gets nice everyone wants to eat outside and not many people know about this place yet. However the food and the service need to get it together. Slow service although you may not mind due to the views. The orders are usually wrong. Ordered nachos with no beef and they came with beef. No limes no lemons for drinks first and second time. Drinks are super heavy handed which you may or not like!! T 2nd time nachos raw cheese not a bit melted. Lettuce was a little wilted and old in my salad. I really hope service improves because obviously the patio is a huge draw. Try again in a few weeks. Ohh also happy hour is 1$ off any drinks and 2$ off apps so if you can deal with the service having a novice feel then go. read more

The food and drinks are AMAZING!!!! Been here a few times it's definitely a hidden gem. It's open to the public and on Saturday's they have a band that plays. read more

Great place for a bite after golf or a dinner in the outdoors during the summer. Good food and service . Jorge runs it well . And if you want a meal and drinks as a group after a golf outing they run a tight ship . Plenty of BBQ'd food prepared perfectly for a crowd . read more

Had lunch here with my boyfriend and family. Nice view of the golf course, food was very good, service was very slow. Our waitress kept disappearing. read more

I just had the worst experience at "In The Drink restaurant bar" in Wayne NJ. The night started out great meeting friends and sharing our table with new friends who didn't have reservations. Then things quickly changed.... We had reservations for 5:30 and at 730 were asked by our waiter to leave by 7:55 as he brought the drinks we ordered ! We complained to the manager about this and were told that we were notified by text and when we were seated that we would have to leave by 8:00. Not true... nothing was noted in the confirmation text nor did the hostess say anything when we were seated. All around us people who were there before us were not asked to leave. We asked about this and the manager and hostess said we "randomly" ask people at tables to leave....huh? I guess the other tables' bar tabs were exceedingly higher than ours.....could that be why we were the "random" table asked to leave! Not only was this inconsiderate but the manager and hostess were extremely rude. We will never return to this place given the way we were treated. Horrible service, treatment favoritism and GREED Also, a member of our group was in a wheelchair and no consideration was given to her to gain access to the patio except for wheeling her through the mulch. Not acceptable. essentially they sold us alcohol and were fine with us leaving within minutes of consuming it so they can sell more drinks to the next party. Wonder how many people are driving drunk immediately after leaving In the Drink. Will definitely not return. Will definitely tell all we know not to patron this establishment who puts money before their customers safety and well-being. read more

Excellent service & food always a good time, live bands. Staff is great & always polite!!

Plain and simple. THE most disgusting food experience I've ever had in my life. I'M 62!!! I implore you, PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE!! Unfortunately, the least I can give it is a one star, and that is incredibly generous. read more

The food is as expected however by the time the food arrives you forget what you ordered. Much room for improvement but still support George. Staff needs military style training. Even Jordon stoped smiling for "some reason". read more

The setting on a golf course is nice and the staff was friendly but that's about the only thing positive I could say. The service was slow and we had to ask several times for the same things before we got them. The consensus from everyone at my table was that the food was bland. There are better restaurants in the area so don't waste your time with this one. read more

The patio is a great place to sit out and relax. Really nice drinks. Just ordered a few appetizers and shared them but everything was really good. A great place to hang out and listen to some live music. A hidden gem in Wayne. read more

I went to In The Drink this past Saturday to have drinks and food on the patio with my family being it was a nice fall afternoon. First off service is really not existent. We had to wait for one of the bartenders to come out for a drink order and being I don't drink beer I had to ask for a drink menu. I noticed some of the few patrons going inside to get their own drinks and one group had a large bottle of wine which I think they brought with them. My daughter got a dirty disgusting martini and my drink was to be an Arnold Palmer but didn't taste like one nor was there any alcohol in it for $9 in a skinny small glass. We looked at the menu for appetizers and when we finally had the same bartender to take the order we were informed 10 minutes later that we couldn't have the nachos because they had no tortilla chips, and that the owner went to get them but wouldn't be coming back soon. Ordered fried greasy calamari and sliders that were so over cooked that without ketchup it wasn't even edible. It's really a shame that this establishment is mismanaged because this place should be a gold mine being it sits on Passaic county golf course and has beautiful scenery and is a great spot to get together with friends. So I've updated my review because they double charged my husbands debit card. How does this happen when it wasn't even busy. read more

So happy we found this hidden place. They need to advertise! Outdoor atmosphere was beautiful with a view of the golf course and nice live music. However, once the live music was over (8:30)...there was not any other music outside. They need to get speakers! Also, they could use some fans to keep the bugs away, but the manager was very nice and offered bug spay. The menu is simple, but the food was very good. We had the trio of fries, a salad, and the salmon burger. Perfect for a relaxing Friday night! read more

This place is awesome. The very handsome bartender by the name of "Billy" is an absolute delight. I can't say enough good things about his welcoming and jovial personality!!! The place is all you can expect and more. Can't wait until the next time Billy is the guest bartender. read more

Unfortunately the minimum I can give is 1 star. If I could give worse, I would. Just left after having dinner at In the Drink and the word disaster comes to mind. The service was terrible. You would have thought this was the first time our waitress ever waited on a table. My wife ordered the Mexican salad which advertises lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, chicken, etc... The order comes out missing avocado and onion, so we asked for them and we get the salad brought back with 2 small slices of avocado and 3 small slices of onion. I asked for curly fries with my burger which I asked to be cooked medium, only to have it well done. When we told the waitress about the fries, she took my plate away, only to bring it back 5 minutes later and said you're fries will be out in a few minutes. 20 minutes later, my fries came out. At that point they were sent back. The topper of them all is my daughter ordered a seltzer and the waitress brings her ketchup. . I said something to whoever was in charge of the place and her reasoning was, we had a lot of people call out sick. Not my problem. If you are in charge you are responsible for ensuring customers have a good experience. If you need to be out there taking orders and serving food, then that's what you need to do. If you want a good dining experience go elsewhere. read more

Poorly managed - we walked out! Don't waste your time. Service was ridiculously slow and the manager or whatever he is needs sensitivity training. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere good! read more

Nadia (sp?) was a wonderful server and the food was great. We had nachos and awesome drinks, and the tres leches was amazing. A great night for a time when everything seems uncertain. They took our temperature coming in, and the band was a good distance away. A great evening. read more
