The motto at Cherries Sports Bar & Grill in Pequannock is “where flavor meets the game”. It’s their goal to make the spot everyone’s new favorite game-day hangout. With a menu of American bar favorites and seasonal draft beers, there’s always a reason to celebrate. (Even when pro sports teams are killing the mood.)
Cherries Sports Bar is packed with sports memorabilia. “We wanted to create a space where folks can come and just chill and not feel like they are in a dive bar,” says Owner Yogini Patel Patel. She owns the spot with her brother, Akshar Patel. In fact, the duo own several establishments along Route 23. “We’re taking on old establishments and turning them into places where people can come hang out, get solid food at a very affordable price, and enjoy fun beverages. Our goal is to bring back easy, laidback dining,” Yogini explains.
