Best Cocktail Bars in Scotch Plains

Overall an awesome experience - the food was great, the waitress was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was wonderful. It was a nice restaurant and people were there, but it was not overly packed like some others can be. We will definitely be going back because there are so many more things we want to try.

In a word—outstanding! This was our second visit to Metropolis, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Maître d' Isaiah, who set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our server Ira was not only attentive but also knowledgeable, offering insight into each dish with enthusiasm that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Chef Sherry's culinary creations were a true work of art—both in taste and presentation. Each bite was a revelation, and the appetizers in particular were nothing short of spectacular. If I could describe it, it was like a celebration of flavors in my mouth— my taste buds were dancing with delight and craving more after every bite. We've dined at top restaurants all over the world- but Metropolis stands out, to us, as one of the best. Chef Sherry, thank you for making this Valentine's truly special. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience!

Really great ambiance, spacious for a rooftop, no one is on top of each other. Had free chocolate fondue for Valentine’s Day which was so cute! Great music and ambiance, wait staff was very attentive and sweet and the cocktails were great! Will definitely be coming back

Me and the girlies love this place so much. It was our little hidden gem. We talked about it so much it’s always busy now!! We love the atmosphere and the cocktails!! Come dressed up or down this place is the place to be!!

What an absolutely beautiful rooftop! There are options for both inside and outside seating - and given the overall atmosphere of both spaces, it’s really hard to choose between which one to sit! Otherwise, I think it was important to note that the noise level wasn’t at all obnoxious or too imposing on conversations, but sat at a perfect median given the otherwise lively energy of a SoHo-Manhattan rooftop. I can’t praise the ‘vibes’ enough in this regard. Our server, Jasmine (pardon any misspelling!) was a delight and delivered great presence at the table. One is tempted to feel lost and forgotten in such a bustling environment, but Jasmine never made us feel this way. Lastly, the food and drinks were fantastic: the Kiwi Swizzle and Strawberry Mai Tai are a must have; the chicken sandwich was an absolute dream with hearty tomatoes and a beautiful golden-brown breading, not otherwise forgetting the guacamole and chips and hamachi crudo which were stars in their own right.
