Great spot for a bite before a game at Sports Illustrated Stadium. This may be a hotel bar, but the service and food are This is a TINY place, so plan to be there early if you are there before a game. A few of our favs: the flatbreads, the station burger, the chicken sandwich with hot honey, and the cocktails.

While staying at the Element hotel in Harrison, NJ I came here a couple of nights. The hotel gives a couple free drink tickets for this bar, so it's a nice way to end the evening (or start it) with free wine or beer. The staff was very friendly and the food was great. I tried their apple tart and it was excellent. The other food I saw others ordering wasn't the typical hotel food, definitely a little better! It's nice that this place is part of this hotel - A great combo!

Staying at the Element? Heading to see a RedBulls game? Pregaming before taking the train to the city? Looking for a local bar? Then add this to your stops! Happy hour is 4pm-7pm. Food service is available 5pm-11pm. I recommend sharing the nachos. It comes with tortilla chips topped with vegetarian chili, melted cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, queso, olives, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, scallions served with salsa, guacamole and sour cream. Delicious! The music brings a soft yet chill ambiance. During the summer and/or nice weather days they have outdoor seating. There's also seating at the bar and a few tables located inside. Parking is located within steps of the bar. Get your parking validated with the bartender.

Matt is one of the best bartenders I've ever had! He caters to all customers and make sure anyone is having a great experience at the bar. When you visit ask for Matt! I literally stop by for Matt on an ongoing basis.

It was so great to come and visit The Station. There are two entrances, one through a lobby into what seems like a cafeteria and one directly into the restaurant/bar. As you walk in, you see the bar and tables that are appropriately distanced with barriers. Outside, they have a set up for outdoor seating. I arrived at about 5:45 pm on a Thursday for a quick drink with two other friends and seating was not an issue. I hope to be able to go back to try their food (decently priced). Why three stars if I'd go back? Well the mood inside was a little stuffy and you felt the need to almost whisper. The bartender, although nice wasn't over the top but wasn't rude or anything. I'm curious to go back to see how their outdoor seating is and to actually try their food. Glows: -Decor -Outdoor seating -Menu and drink prices were reasonable Grows: -Parking -Atmosphere could use a little improvement (Idk maybe okay some Jazz or top hits ?) -Staff can be more personable (Maybe like a hi where are you from or my name is let me know if I can get you anything) - If people feel comfortable they want to go back.

The mussels are my favorite thing on the menu. I wish there were more selections as far as food goes. The bar is stacked with options for a delicious cocktail. Service is good and the restaurant is very clean.

I'm so glad this little place has survived Covid. I love their drinks, nice and strong, wide variety of cocktails and beer. They now have sidewalk dining and music on Friday nights. Great peanut butter whiskey creations, nice staff and convenient location!

This restaurant is very nice. To start, it's a great place to go before an event at the Red Bull Arena. It's very close only about 3-4 blocks away from the stadium. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice with quiet music playing and nice tables spaced out so you won't be cramped next to someone. They have outside seating for a nice summer day with a tent over the outside seating to stay cool. You won't be having any problems with the service because it is great! They have a bar so you can stop by and get a drink with your friends. There are lots of options on the menu and happy hour everyday from 5-7:30. Now for the food. The food is great! The food came out fast and hot. We ordered the chicken strips, crab cake, and the flatbed pizza. We also got the calamari the was amazing! The price is also very reasonable. Overall I would suggest this restaurant if you want some dinner and you are near Harrison.

This is my first time at the Element Hotel- we decided to try The Station restaurant on the ground floor. We just finished our food and my husband and I agree that the quality was terrible. Much of it (i.e. the salad with the packaged dressing and truly awful croutons, the tomato basil soup which tasted like cafeteria food or maybe Chef Boyardee) ended up in the trash unfortunately. My son's mozarella sticks were worse than what we buy in the grocery store. I don't think the food quality relates to staffing or issues with Covid. $66 and very disappointing.

A neighborhood gem... I've been here a three times now. This place is small but really cute. The decor is inviting and outdoor seating is always a nice option. I haven't tried the food but go for drinks. Friday nights there's live music until 10. My favorite part is the staff. The bartender Alan is always in a happy mood and works quickly. He really makes the experience complete. I'll definitely go back soon.
