Republic 23 Lounge 87 South Washington Avenue, Bergenfield, NJ 07621

"I went to this place for a day party and it was the worst experience ever. The drinks was trashed only syrup no liquor…they charge 20$ at the door, they charge 20$ for a small table, I pay 18 dollar for some food and this was the worst I ever had in my life. Look like an amateur person made that….the vegetables was still frozen from the bag, I was better off buying a sandwich from a fast food place. First time and last time"

"The venue is surprisingly pretty spacious, I liked the layout. It had a nice clean, shiny feel and look to it. The bartender made this cocktail called "Sak pase" it was magically delicious. There is street parking and they have a tiny little parking lot as well. I came for the Haitian kompa themed brunch. The event hosts were very nice, and the DJ was pretty awesome."

"The overall place is clean and designed well!!! Please be aware cops in this town are very racist. Several people were stopped before and after party. The bartender charged 16.41 for a 12.99 drink called Sak pase. They automatically added gratuity and I was not sitting at the bar. I was a party of one and definitely did not feel comfortable walking into the club outside. Parking only has 8 cars available. The only good thing about this party was the djs. They played soca all night long!!! I would go back , but only during the day time. The cops in this town were literally following people out of the town."

"I visited here almost a year back but just catching up on my reviews. Based on other reviews looks like nothing has changed, so I guess my opinion will not be outdated. Location was pretty decent and the ambience was really good, with some great DJ Music. This was a Caribbean Themed Brunch, so we were all really looking forward to the Food and Drinks. Unfortunately, the Pros of this place ended there. Our party was squeezed into 2 small tables put together even though there were many comfortable Tables empty and unreserved. Guess they were holding out for those who might order Bottle Service. There wasn't much of a crowd (3 Tables seated) but our Drink orders took forever. Most of the Food items from the Caribbean Brunch we wanted to order was no longer available even though it was only 30 mins past the Brunch start time. After waiting for almost 2 hours with no food, we finally decided to leave. I am not sure whether the Themed Brunch was not planned properly or the Management is always this bad. Only positive is that they comped us $100 from our overall Drinks amount"

"The girls and I met up for brunch at this newer spot. When I arrived I parked nearby on the street. We walked in and the spot was cute. It gave me a club vibe. There was a party of about 10 of us and lets just say they really couldn't accommodate such a large party for this spot. They had to put smaller table together on sort of uncomfortable stools to sit. They did have a vip area but no one wanted a bottle so we had to settle. The menu for brunch was fairly small so I went with the mimosa at first. The server Brianna was super nice and attentive, I will say that. So let's get to the bad stuff. The drinks took a long while to come to the table. While I waited I went to the restroom and it was coed with no lock. The toilet paper had something on it throughout which I was not feeling. As for the food, it took forever to come. I was going to order but had to leave. One girl ordered over an hr and a half and by the time I left still didn't receive her food. The server said the kitchen was backed up, which was kind of ridiculous because there wasn't a whole lot of people in there. I am guessing they must of only had one chef. For my mimosas I paid a little over $18 with gratuity. The DJ was great and so was the server but everything else needs a lot of work."
