Since then, there have been many iterations and names of the space, including the Zabriskie House, the Villa Inn, the Mansion House, the Wayside Inn, the Washington Inn, Estephe\u2019s Hotel, and Paddy Burke\u2019s. A popular spot for its lifespan, in the 1900s, it was even a favorite spot of President Nixon\u2019s. After a large renovation in 2009, the space was officially back to being called Ho-Ho-Kus Inn &amp; Tavern, the version we know today.<\/p>\n<h2>The Space + Menu<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239048\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game-800x800.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/toy-_-game.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are several separate rooms throughout the building, showcasing lots of different options for diners. With three rooms upstairs, two other dining spaces downstairs, plus a library bar, separate tavern, and even an outdoor patio with firepits, each section feels unique. Our favorite spot is the library bar, which has an upscale bar, cozy fireplace, and tons of snippets of history and artifacts throughout the room. Many of the rooms are also great for private events like bridal showers, baby showers, and birthdays.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239046\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows-800x800.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/oddfellows.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The menu is big but not overwhelming, with tavern classics like steak frites, wings, and burgers.

Other standouts that night were the burrata salad, coconut shrimp starter, and Prime Reserve Pork Chop entree. Both bars were packed with locals and friends and families catching up and enjoying the night, but there are so many separate areas that it never felt too crowded or loud. We love that this is a restaurant that you can really bring anyone to and have a great night.<\/p>\n<p>Ho-Ho-Kus Inn &amp; Tavern is located at 1 East Franklin Turnpike in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ.
