Dingbatz 620 Van Houten Avenue, Clifton, NJ 07013

"Great venue for up-and-coming bands. Lotta fun. Awesome place for bands to get together and perform!"

"Best dive bar with live music in NJ! Amazing place to have a drink and hang. Staff is super cool and chill. It’s a great venue to get right up front to watch bands or just hang back by the bar and enjoy the show. There are a couple of public lots nearby and on street parking is usually pretty easy to find. Concert tickets and alcohol prices are extremely reasonable."

"You want to go somewhere and feel immediately welcomed. It is this place. The staff takes care of you and treats you like family and it is such a diverse group of patrons that everybody feels at home. The bands that they hire are incredible. I truly enjoy spending my Saturday nights here."

"Very cool little bar club. The place is very small and tight. The service at the bar is extremely fast and efficient, especially when the place is at capacity. I came to see a hardcore lineup. It felt really underground to be there, pretty cool in a way. The stage is very small, less than 4 ft off the ground. The standing room near the stage is entirely pit, and maybe dangerous to stand there. The building is long and narrow, so the viewing is from a narrow perspective. If you don't want to get caught in the pit, you will be standing far in the back which is near the bar. I was there for a sold out show, and the place was responsibly packed with people. It was like just enough people, so it wasn't uncomfortable to be there. I had a lot of fun here, I can imagine it's a great place to see local acts. I would love to have a place like this in my hometown. What a great experience, highly recommended."

"Nice venue for the NJ music scene with a decent sized, raised stage. Have had great support from sound guys and the staff does a very good job with their stage effects to support the bands! Well done Dingbatz!"
