Bonds Tavern

Bonds Tavern

WEST ORANGE — NJ Bonds Tavern is a local bar and restaurant in West Orange located at 643 Eagle Rock Avenue.

Bonds has flown under the radar for a few years now, due to the fact that it is in between many other stores and can be difficult to find. Despite its location, it is still a place where most will feel very comfortable no matter who they are. Whether it is the fantastic burgers or the tasty special margaritas, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere is very friendly, as there are a lot of regulars and the customers often address employees by their first names.

A very important part of Bonds is its excellent staff, everyone from the hostess when you walk in the door, to the bussers who brings your food help to make Bonds great. It is possible to see someone you know, since on any night a West Orange High School student will be working there. It is nice to see a familiar and friendly face when coming into Bonds Tavern, and that is something you will get almost every time you walk in.

Bonds Tavern has made a lot of changes under Leigh Miller, who took over in May of this past year.  One of the first things that Miller did as general manager was create a new menu with many new additions. The timing for the new menu was perfect, as it happened right at the beginning of the summer. New items such as the Western Burger and classic grilled cheese have been met with rave reviews.
