About

Pub
Nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of Bloomfield Avenue lies the Cloverleaf Tavern, a well-established staple in Caldwell, New Jersey. It is currently the oldest business in town. George Dorchak Jr. founded the Cloverleaf Tavern in 1933. George was 23 years old when he borrowed money from his uncle to purchase the first liquor license in Caldwell after prohibition. The building at the time consisted of two stores: a vegetable stand and a bakery. The bakery was called The Bake Shop with a shamrock as it’s logo. This is where George got the idea for the name of his Tavern. In 1940, George made an election bet that won him a ride down Bloomfield Ave in a wheelbarrow. That’s right! The gentleman pushing the wheelbarrow (who remains unidentified today) lost the bet. Watch this amazing video below of George being pushed from the “flats” of Caldwell to Central Avenue.

    If you want a place that gets the formula right, go to Cloverleaf. The Irish pub vibe in the bar is great and the beer list is huge, it’s always fresh and never "funky" or flat like some other places with big selections. The food is consistently solid; maybe not the "best ever" burger or wings, but everything I've tried is well above average and never a disappointment. Even though it’s a big spot with plenty of tables, they really pay attention to the details, they even have mouthwash in the restrooms for god sake. Plus, you’ve got the terrace, easy municipal parking, and occasional live music. It’s just a great time no matter who you’re with.

    Cloverleaf is the best family/friend establishment! We came on a Saturday, and they accommodated our 12 person group with two babies on the patio. While hanging out during the day, they set up the firepit and then allowed us to come inside with the babies! We were here for a few hours. They are wonderful!

    The food came relatively fast. I had a burger since there were good reviews. However no follow up from the waitress due to she was overwhelmed with other tables..Their system went down, and they couldn't print the bill. The wait for a total was atleast 20 minutes. The waitress came and said yoyr bill is about....so do you have cash bevause we can't take cards. Luck for me I did..The manager nowhere to be found no apologies from him however the waitress did in fact apologize constantly. Poor management here. He should've walked around and explained the situation rather be non existent. The food was good but the service needs improvement.

    I REALLY wanted to love this place but will probably try a different day. Stopped by on a Tuesday and the bartender stopped by maybe twice even with an empty bar and restaurant.

    This was such a nice experience. The inside has a irish restaurant feel and the outside patio is really nice! They have a few tables you can eat at with your dog outside as well. Food was brought out quickly, really delicious. Their beer menu was almost bigger than the food menu lol I got a flight which was really good. Becca the server was really sweet and attentive!
