Best Cocktail Bars in Waldwick

Loved the Empire! Great cocktails and food for good value. Amazing views.

We were celebrating a reunion of a mother and daughter. The holiday atmosphere, the wait staff, the food and the live music made what could have been an uncomfortable gathering a meaningful experience. We especially welcomed the warmth, friendliness and generosity of GERMAN, the bartender extraordinaire! We suspect he is more than a bartender but a leader at Red Rooster. We thank him!

1:30 lunch on a Thursday. Restaurant looked beautiful, busy but not sound level was very good—easy to hear my companion’s conversation. Hostess and waitress were friendly and accommodating. I had the espresso martini, my friend the Lillie’s Cup. Both cocktails were beautifully prepared and delicious. My friend had the fresh burrata salad from the bar menu, again beautifully presented, I had the Caprese sandwich, no French fries. The sandwich is not very big, fine for me, but heartier eaters should get the fries or a substitute. I think fries aren’t the best side for this sandwich actually, but most of their lunch sandwiches come with fries only. Quite an enjoyable experience and we’ll definitely be back (be sure to make reservations way in advance.)

Celebrated a birthday meal here and we were very happy with our server Sam. She was amazing. The food was excellent, wine was great. The friendliness and the service. The was very attentive to us. Everything was amazing.

I celebrated my birthday with my sisters and we absolutely loved the ambience, food, and the staff was amazing. The staff were so friendly, professional, and simply pleasant. It’s a great place to entertain with a small group of ppl for drinks and appetizers. The food is bite size and tasty. Do not expect a full course meal. Enjoyed myself. The view is awesome too!
