  1. Ahh The Orange Lantern aka the OL I have been coming here for quite some time now and I must say it is easily the go to spot for my friends and I. Located rite off of rt 17 and next to the fashion center its a great place to come and hang with friends or watch a game.

    The food here is pretty good too especially their chicken fingers and sweet potato fries and you can't forget the wings. They have everything from pizza, quesadillas, fries, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken (your average bar food) and everything is reasonably priced and tasty. I wouldn't necessarily come here just to eat I come here more for a buzz and a light snack to soak up the liquor. The bartenders are awesome, really friendly and fast making it super easy to get a drink here.

    There is plenty of entertainment that goes on here throughout the week such as trivia night, karaoke night, not to mention they have live bands come and play from time to time and that always draws in the most interesting people I have ever seen. The scene here is very laid back and casual which I like. They also have a dart board in the back which is fun for a quick game.

    Overall this bar is filled with locals and if you are not trying to see your entire graduating class this bar may not be the place for you but if you are looking for a good time, a buzz and some good bar food well my dear look no further!

  2. Three stars because it wasn't my scene and the place was lit when it should be dimmed, given it's a bar and nighttime too. The bartender wasn't friendly either. Frankly, I wouldn't come back unless I had to.

  3. This place is seriously great.

    I remember looking at this place while growing up and wondering who would go here, let's say I've figured out why they've been open for so long.

    To start, it's not a frills bar, it's loud and old, but that's just the way I like it.

    The drinks are very cheap and all the bartenders are friendly. I've never been disappointed by a 3 dollar beer….

    What makes this place great is… The food. Everything I've had is fantastic and this place is home to the best buffalo wings/sauce I've ever had.

    The wraps, French dip, fries and onion rings are all amazing and I highly recommend you order food when you visit.

    My only complaint is that they charge you for a side of sauce, which is a little tacky but it's worth the 50 cents.

    Come in on a weekend and enjoy some live music, great food and cheap drinks. There isn't much more to ask for.

  4. Alright service, good food, good music, good vibe. Oh and good prices.

    The fries are really good and their turkey burgers are perfect!!

  5. Karaoke Wednesdays are where it's at. They're making me into a regular with this shiz.

    Not the the most glamorous of places, but the bartenders are friendly and attentive.

    Prices are reasonable, i.e. $4.50 for a Sam Adam's Rebel Grapefruit IPA on draft. $6 for a large salad with unlimited toppings, yum.

    Two dart boards! I believe they have bands play on the weekends as well.

    Usually a mixed bag of attendees, you'll find people from all age groups.

    Look out for the Bud Light girls that come around giving out free beers, cozys and fanny packs. You heard that right – fanny packs.

    Conveniently located right off of route 17 on the border of Ridgewood/Paramus. (Still dreading the day I run into someone from high school.)

    It's always a good time at the OL.

  6. I enjoyed this place and its proximity to my office is an additional plus. The bar is huge and has tons of seating. It was fairly busy at lunch but not crowded by any means. The menu is your typical bar food mostly. I love boneless wings (which I realize aren't really wings) and ordered the barbecue ones. They were pretty good and I would get them again. Drinks are pretty cheap as well. Bartender was attentive and did a good job.

  7. The waitresses are definitely nice.

    They don't have a menu for what's on draft so you have to ask each time.

    I got the buffalo wings with the homemade lava sauce which was really good. The french onion soup is really warming and filling.  The onion rings were meh.

    Main problem was when we were finally ready for the check (and exhausted), it took us asking over 3 times to get it.

    It was alright but I don't know if I'll rush back.

  8. Come here for the french dip! It's very tasty, as is the french onion soup. The buffalo wings were a little too spicy for my liking but a solid order. The beers are cold and they had a fun rock cover band play on Halloween. A good, no frills kinda bar.
