Since opening, the brand has expanded beyond its original location, growing to include restaurants throughout New Jersey, as well as locations in New York and Delaware.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"59\" data-end=\"410\"><strong><em>Read More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/union-street-park-hackensack-nj-art-graffiti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hackensack\u2019s Union Street Park: Part of an Expanding Art + Graffiti Scene<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"412\" data-end=\"1102\">At the heart of Tommy\u2019s Tap &amp; Tavern is a menu built to satisfy all, making it an easy choice for group outings + casual dining. The lineup begins with shareable small plates, including classics like guacamole and spinach and artichoke dip, alongside wings and hot honey chicken bites. Lighter options include a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/best-vegan-vegetarian-food-bergen-county-nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">salads,<\/a> from arugula-based bowls to salads topped with ahi tuna, + a standout <em>(trust us)<\/em> shrimp Cobb. The menu also features pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, and even sushi, adding to its broad appeal. Seasonal rotations introduce cozier dishes in the fall and <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/events-news\/winter-festivals-new-jersey-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winter<\/a>, such as chilis and jumbo hot pretzels, while the spring and <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/pickleball-bergen-county-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summer<\/a> menu options lean lighter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1104\" data-end=\"1409\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Following the sudden passing of Tommy Bonfiglio in 2022 at the age of 62, the team and his family have continued to honor his vision and legacy. The ongoing expansions reflect that commitment, ensuring his dream lives on by sharing good food, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere with even more communities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1104\" data-end=\"1409\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With this upcoming expansion to Paramus, particularly along the side of Route 4, Tommy\u2019s Tap &amp; Tavern is set to become a convenient gathering spot for Bergen County locals. Located just outside Bergen Town Center Mall, the new location provides an easy place to meet up to catch a game, grab a bite, or unwind with drinks. Its placement also makes it a natural stop for a post-shopping meal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>See More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/best-hiking-trails-montclair-essex-county\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Where to Go Hiking in the Montclair Area<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow @thebergencountygirl on <a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thebergencountygirl\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thehobokengirl\/?hl=en\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Instagram<\/a> for the latest Bergen County updates, <a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thebergencountygirl.myflodesk.com\/uu0mgpgtm0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/view.flodesk.com\/pages\/62f92877e5ea6b3d8aea50ad\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">sign up for our email list here<\/a> that shares everything you missed each week, and check out our <a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.hobokengirl.com\/events\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">events calendar<\/a>, which has over 30+ events weekly to peruse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/category\/food-drink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120173\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/17-e1657897614512-800x249.jpg\" alt=\"read more food button\" width=\"450\" height=\"140\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>food + drinkMany New Jersey residents already know Tommy\u2019s Tap &amp; Tavern, thanks to its popularity and 12 existing locations across the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":389,"featured_media":233247,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[764,9721],"tags":[9706,9783],"class_list":["post-233239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-drink","category-paramus","tag-food-drink","tag-tlg"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tommy\u2019s Tap &amp; Tavern Expands to Paramus, NJ - The Bergen County Girl<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tommy\u2019s Tap &amp; Tavern is expanding in Bergen County with a new Paramus outpost at Bergen Town Center.
