Pickett's Village Bar: Reviews & Ratings
We did a private event for 70 upstairs and staff was great. Food buffet style was plentiful and delicious. Excellent pasta and pizza.
This place is a 10/10. I hosted my engagement party here after having my first date here with my fiance 3 years ago. From the first date to now, we have loved this place. Working with Nicholas was a breeze - he had everything set up beautifully and was extremely professional throughout the process. The party was fantastic - staff was professional and friendly. Food was amazing as well! The whole party enjoyed every aspect of it, and made me look like a genius having it here :)! Thank you to everyone at Pickett's for an unforgettable day.
The cocktails are so good!!! And so are the pizzas. Fantastic place for small and large groups. Would come back again.
Simply amazing. Great food & drinks. Awesome vibes!!
Nick is the best! I threw my son's birthday party upstairs and he couldn't have made it easier. We were so happy with our experience. We got so many compliments on the food and the atmosphere. A friend was super bummed about burgers not being on the menu, but it will force him to visit on his own time. :)
Came here for the first time a year ago and absolutely loved it! They have happy hour drinks /food from 4 to 6pm, including 10 pizza (cheese or Margherita), 1 hot /teriyaki/BBQ wings (minimum 8) and a nice selection of draught beers! We ordered calamari, hot wings, beers and the apple cobbler (with vanilla ice cream and bourbon caramel!). Everything was so amazing! Second time here we ordered some cocktails, bang bang shrimp and burgers; simply amazing. The bartenders/ servers were super friendly and conversational and the place itself was really nice and clean. I loved it. Definitely coming back!
This is my Happy place! The Birria Queso Tacos are my Favorite! The bang bang shrimp are a must!!! Definitely a must try!
Omg the spiked apple cider was amazing! Staff was friendly and attentive. Service was great. During the uncertainty of COVID-19, it was reassuring to see them use disposable plates, cups, and utensils. The pizza, Calamari, fish at tacos, and salmon was delicious. If outdoor dining continues, more heating is needed.

Welcome to Pickett's Village Bar, a culinary gem nestled in the charming community of Maplewood, New Jersey. Located at 2208 Millburn Ave, this vibrant establishment is designed to cater to both intimate gatherings and lively celebrations. With a reputation built on exceptional food and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s no wonder locals and visitors alike are raving about their experiences here.
As a food reviewer, I found myself drawn to the tantalizing menu that Pickett's offers. The first standout for me were the Bar Pies, where classics like the Margherita and the inventive San Gennaro, topped with fennel sausage and gooey mozzarella, were nothing short of spectacular. Each pie is a testament to the culinary craftsmanship found here, with fresh ingredients that provide authentic flavors reminiscent of a true Italian pizzeria.
- Old World Tomato Marinara: Roasted garlic and pecorino ($20.00)
- San Gennaro: Artisanal fennel sausage, bell peppers, onions, mozzarella ($24.00)
- Margherita: San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil ($20.00)
Equally impressive are the starters. The Tempura Cauliflower ($17.00) stands out with a light, crispy batter that pairs perfectly with a zesty dipping sauce. The Bang Bang Shrimp ($18.00) should not be overlooked either; it’s a dish laden with flavor, offering a delightful crunch contrasted by a creamy, spiced sauce. Not to mention, the reviews speak volumes about the delectable Stuffed Roasted Jalapeños loaded with cream cheese and bacon — a true crowd-pleaser.
For those who enjoy leisurely meals, their selection of sides complements any main dish beautifully. From the satisfying Frites ($9.00) to the rich and creamy Mashed Potatoes ($10.00), there’s something for everyone to savor while enjoying a cocktail or two. Speaking of drinks, the bar is fully stocked with an impressive cocktail menu that has garnered accolades from patrons like Angel Hsu, who praised the concoctions as “so good!”
The ambiance is perfectly suited for both casual nights out and special occasions. Guests have celebrated memorable events, from engagement parties to birthdays, and have noted how effortless the staff at Pickett's makes the experience. With an unfaltering commitment to superb service, the team here has consistently received high praise, particularly from customers like John Philbin, who spoke glowingly about their professionalism and attention to detail.
In conclusion, Pickett's Village Bar is more than just a restaurant; it’s a gathering place rich in flavors and warm hospitality.
