Duffys Tavern

Great place. Nice people. Just a cool bar, the opposite of pretentious, good jukebox, good for a hang. Go.

When you look up dive bar in the dictionary, they will likely have a reference to Duffy’s. This place is located in Paterson, close to the Bergen County border, so don’t be too scared. It’s a totally low key place, so if you’re looking for fancy-​schmancy, you won’t find it here. Came in around 9:45 — 10:00 pm, and the place was pretty empty. Stayed until around 2:30 am, and it started to get pretty packed around 130am. Pool tables for you to enjoy, but watch out for the pool shark who will try to talk you in to a «friendly game» with a new friend. LOL They also seem to serve food, but at the time we went they had a very limited selection to offer because the cook was not there. We had wings (pretty good hot sauce and flavor) and french fries (which were BANGING — SO CRISPY). They still had Octoberfest on tap at the end of November, although it finally kicked because of us, but it makes me think their clientele is a def. blue collar corona, heineken, coors light drinking crowd.
Drinks were pretty cheap, tv’s all over the place, and a digital juke box. Décor is really interesting in there, a lot of funny signs. One male bartender with two females and an interesting crowd. One member of the crowd of which kept trying to get my fiancé, myself, and our friend to buy him and his boy a drink. I told him to go ask his boy or go try to hustle someone else for a drink, or have his pool shark friend win a game and buy a drink. lol My fiancé and our friend had to tell him at one point «Bro, we’re trying to have a conversation, take a step back,» thank god it was them and not me because I was ready to flip out on this patron.
Either way, annoying patron included, I would def. return to this bar. I like low key places like this where I can enjoy cheap drinks, good fried food, and put some Biggie on the jukebox!

Buyer beware! The first –and only — time that I ever came here, they lured me in with their promise of a drink special for LaBatt Blue that they advertised with a sign outside for $ 1.50. Though I only bought two of those beers and a shot (which cost me $ 6), Erin charged me not only for THREE beers but for three Sam Adams beers which were each $ 4 more because they’re clearly higher quality. Even though I attempted to be civil with her so that we could resolve the situation at hand, she became hostile with me and lied to me about her manager coming back that night to refund my money (which never happened because the transaction was still there on Monday morning, along with an extra charge worth $ 22.50 of drinks that I never bought or authorized). So, not only do they rip their customers off and trick them with false advertising, but they lie to them and steal their money too! Thank God I know what to do in this sort of situation! Walk — no, run — far away from this place! This bar won’t be around for much longer if they keep treating their customers like this, but then again I guess that’s what you get for going to such a sketchy bar in a desolate area of Paterson!

Old school Paterson dive that attracts a great people for good times. Don’t be scared of the address. This bar is for blue collar Jersey guys and girls who want a cold beer and good food. Foo-​foo types need not bother. Please go to Hoboken instead. There’s nothing pretentious about this place, so pretentious types need not apply.

What a shit show!
I came here once and had a good time. without even drinking! The place is super cheap, and has many tables and chairs to sit at. They also have pool and a shuffle board came to play on. The music is bumpin and the bar is long – which gives you plenty of options of where to sit. The place itself is pretty trashy and cluttered with weird crap on the walls, but the crowd is very young and loud and its deff a place to grab a few drinks and relax. They have some drink specials and did i say cheap? $ 5 vodka drinks. Theres also 50 cent wings on certain nights. I deff wanna come back for one of the nights where theres some specials going on!

Decent dive bar on the outskirts of Paterson. Don’t let the address fool you, this place is more of a Wallington or Lodi dive than a Paterson dive. The place has a pool table ($ 1.50) and a shuffleboard deck. There’s a big screen TV in the «dining room» and several smaller TV’s around the bar.
Drink prices are fair but I’d stay away from the food. The kitchen looks like it needs a major makeover and I’m sure the food quality isn’t great. Not sure if you can park across the street in the vacant lot since street parking is very limited, but I didn’t have a problem with parking the night I was there.
Would I return?
Not likely…

Yeah Duffys! Good food and drink and always a friendly Irish man a foot

LOVE DUFFY’s, Beer, friends. Food at times, cook not always there.
Best table shuffle board going !

My favorite bar in the area, with a fun crowd. Tons of different people, bikers, cops, firefighters… They have a pool table, shuffleboard table, arcade machine and a sweet jukebox. This place is crazy on St. Patty’s day!
