Union Bar & Provisions is the first newly built, standalone restaurant in downtown East Rutherford in several years, a spokesperson said.

It's steps from the Rutherford train station.

It offers room at the tables, bars, and an outdoor patio.

The two-level space includes a bar featuring a marble top, surrounded by high-top tables and TVs for every sports game, and two dining rooms, said a spokesperson.

"Guests can expect a blend of timeless dishes, handcrafted cocktails, and thoughtful design," they noted, "offering the kind of ambiance that feels just right for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or a private event."

Signature dishes include steak frites, a fresh lobster roll, and seasonal chef-driven specials.

At the bar, guests can choose from a curated selection of beers on tap, cocktails, and a wine list.

Every dish is made using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, they said.

The Union Bar & Provisions was created by William Murray and Patrick Dunne. "It’s the kind of place they’ve always wanted to spend time in," said a spokesperson, "and now, they’re proud to share it with the community."

The venue has ample on-site parking, they said.
