Popular Sports Bar Chain Opening New Location In Morris County

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — A new dining option is coming to Morris County as Tommy's Tavern + Tap prepares to open its latest New Jersey location.

The popular chain — known for serving everything from coal-fired pizza and poke bowls to pulled pork sandwiches — will open a 9,160-square-foot restaurant at Ledgewood Commons, located at 461 State Route 10 in Ledgewood, next to Marshalls, DSW, and Ulta Beauty.

“Ledgewood Commons has a high-demand tenant mix and we’re confident that our shoppers and the greater community will embrace the addition of regional operator Tommy’s Tavern,” said Ronnie Bertrand, Director, Leasing for Urban Edge. “Additionally, the restaurant has a loyal regional following and we know they will draw new visitors to the center.”

Founded in Sea Bright in 2015, the family-run eatery expanded rapidly during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, opening several restaurants across New Jersey despite significant challenges in the industry.

Today, Tommy's Tavern + Tap operates more than 13 locations across multiple states.

"With Tommy's, there is literally something for everyone on the menu, and the environment is multi-generational," founder Thomas Bonfiglio told Patch in 2021. "You can literally walk in there on a date, for a post-work happy hour, a family dinner with all kids in tow, a girls night out with the pickiest eater you know and see that each person in the group can find at least ten items or more on the menu that would suit their interests."

The family of Bonfiglio still owns and operates the business, after he died in 2022 at the age of 62. Bonfiglio also established the Triple T Hospitality Group, which owns all Tommy's Tavern + Tap locations as well as TIO Taco + Tequila Bar.
