I have had mixed experiences here. Lunch has been good. However at night, this service takes and major nose dive. Its kind of like going to pizza hut and being served on by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. There seems to be little interest in providing quality dining experience or good food. The bartender essentially ignored us (even though she glanced at us from time to time) because she was too caught up in a personal conversation with another staff member. Amazingly poor service.
Pros: its the only bar in the area that has a TV with sports
Cons: Service, Food, Prices

Crogan's is conveniently located in Montclair, which is great because there are few restaurants open after 8 pm in this area. The crowd appears to be a relatively local crowd because of its location. I would guess that few would travel any distance to get here. I have eaten here a couple of times because of its location, but have resigned myself to the fact that I would rather drive someplace else. Each time I have come the food has been mediocre and the service temperamental. On my first visit I ordered a steak that was over cooked, it was returned to me virtually raw. A second complaint elicited an attitude from the attitude from the manager who insisted that both steaks were cook correctly. Huh? (A bar regular told me to avoid the food – She comes for the better than average shots of whiskey.) Anyway a second trip to crogan’s resulted in a similar experience, my soup was cold and my tamale was hard. A comment to the bar tender resulted in rolling eyes and being ignored. I love to eat out and as one in the restaurant business I understand the need for some basic customer service. Bottom line- If you live in Montclair and have a car, drive somewhere else. If you don’t have a car get, something delivered.
Pros: Nice locals at the bar
Cons: Otd basically overpriced pub food
