Review from Carmela D.
Wayne, NJ
Went here last weekend with a group of friends. It's a completely different look from the all-white interior it used to have but it's still just as cool. Now it's a sports bar so the crowd is slightly different as is the way you would be expected to dress going in.
For dinner my friend had an order of pierogies which I tried- delicious!
My boyfriend & I shared the wheat crust margarita pizza- delicious! Though, not really big enough for sharing if both people are hungry. It's a slightly larger personal size but one hungry person could eat most of it.
The drinks were good. They have Mike's Hard Lemonade for $3 and some other assorted drink specials. We sat at a table so I can't say much about the experience at the bar. I would recommend getting there before 10 since it gets really crowded (and loud) after that. The crowd was a mix of guido wannabes and tools. Not sure I'd go here if I were a single lady, it's probably not where you're going to find any great guys to chat up. But if you're going for a few drinks with friends, I'd definitely recommend it! -

Best sportsbar around as far as I am concerned. Clean, comfy, great food and service! All the things necessary for a successful sportsbar/happy hour spot. Oh yeah, TVs are crystal clear! ...&according to my man, beer is Ice Cold.

It's not a lounge anymore. It's been converted to a sports bar. Went there for a UFC fight and it was a good crowd. $10 cover for the fight but that gives you a free drink which the bouncer said was worth $7. I had already eaten so i didn't eat there but what was coming out of the kitchen looked good. Only fault in the place was the bartenders can be hard to get a drink from because they are constantly talking to each other and not paying attention.

Not the easiest place to find, but certainly worth the look inside. This lounge has one of the best spirits selection I've seen in a martini bar in NJ. Don't kid yourself though, it is still a martini bar. I wouldn't order a Manhattan here, but the girls do a great job shaking a martini. The decor makes the place - a futuristic mix a molded plastic, leather sofas, and chrome light fixtures, with everything seemingly white. It is as if Mrs. Howell opened up a bar for George Jetson. If you want a relaxed drink and a seat at the bar, get there early. If you want to see why the Sopranos is filmed in NJ, come late. You'll get your fill of overly tanned girls with implants (including the bartenders) and guys in untucked shirts.
Four Stars for being one of the few bars in NJ I can find Junipero gin behind the bar. -

This place has the feel of a New York lounge with an all white interior glows with jewel tone colors. It tends to get a bit crowded and does have seating, but get there early if you want it. Small space, with little area to dance and they do play dance/club music. The bartenders make good martinis with cute rock candy sticks in them, although I don't always get one. Drinks have New York prices and parking isn't the best. Older clientele tend to frequent this place.
My cousin celebrated her 21st birthday here. They let us reserve a cute section by the fireplace and big screen tv, but we had to be there early. Later on, people kept trying to sit on the couch every time we got up. But that's the price you pay in a small space.
Fun place to go with your friends or have a party, without going into New York and having to pay for bottle service. -

I've been coming here ever since I moved to New Jersey last year. It's kind of pricey but worth it, especially if you like your martinis.

Being "from the area" (at least for the past 4 years) I've driven past 381 Main many many times. But this weekend, I finally made my way in as we celebrated a friend's birthday.
The night started off on the wrong foot - we parked behind a friend's car and the bouncer came out and not so very nicely told us to move our cars. Only the OWNER was allowed to park there. I guess that would explain why there were about 3 other cars (not belonging to the owner) parked there during the night after we had already went in. I didn't mind moving our cars, but the nasty bouncer had already left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
I wasn't really all that impressed with the atmosphere. My first impression is that it would be a place to go on a first date. It's such an impersonal place to go that it's perfect if you want to just take some time to get to know someone all while getting close to them on a comfy sofa or chair. But be sure to show up with a loaded voice. I had to YELL to be heard over the loud music by a girlfriend who was sitting only 5 feet away from me. I was relieved to find that I still had my voice at the end of the night.
There wasn't much to do except watch music videos on the large plasma TV mounted towards the back of the bar or people watch. I chose the latter as I was sitting facing the back of the TV. The crowd was a little older than what I had expected. A lot of suits, which I wasn't surprised about as it seemed like more of their type of bar. And there was no dance floor. I know it's more of a lounge/bar but then they need to play music to fit that atmosphere because all I heard were club hits and people were dancing in place or chair dancing. But many crowded in the middle of the lounge floor that it made it super impossible to access the bar easily. You were better off grabbing all the drinks you wanted for the night and bringing them back to your table than to keep having to fight your way through the crowd. A few times, our friends would joke that my boyfriend left me there because he would have gone to the bar to get some drinks and still wouldn't be back 10 minutes later.
Good for a local bar, but a little pricey for what they offer. Great mixed drinks yes, but the atmosphere was a thumbs down from me. -

Aside from the fact that the location is kind of weird--situated diagonally from a main road but with a parking lot that's counter-intuitive to enter--this is a great little martini bar. Well, it's great for those of us who (a) like to hear our conversations without screaming over music, and (b) like to go home NOT reeking of stale smoke...which means that it caters to a late-twenties/early thirties crowd. (My 22-year-old brother has pronounced 381 Main "not his scene.") The decor is nothing short of spectacular for the fact that it's in Little Falls--you enter over an enormous glass fishtank (the floor is glass and frosted glass); the lighting is perfect; the music enhances the atmosphere without overpowering it. There are couches and little tables scattered around below softly lit sconces, but get there early if you actually want a seat. For a New Jersey bar, this is a real find. One caveat, however: unlike most bars, the drinks here are STRONG! Keep that in mind when you order, or you will find yourself unable to remember the finer points of the evening, such as, oh, say, everything.

Went for a drink after a nice dinner. Still a bit early when we got there on a Saturday night (9pm). Tiny bar, but some nice comfy couches. My wife wanted a B&B (Benedictine and Brandy) , young female bartender never heard of it, she switched to Cointreau. I had a Manhatten, made decently. Large drinks, about $12/drink, high for Little Falls, but nice ambiance for this area. Get the feeling this is a Martini bar for neophytes. I do hope it stays around for a while as it's a nice changeup to the regular bars in this area.
