Knotty Pine Pub

Great little dive bar. First time here amazing time. Sean the bartender was great, friendly great time. Will go back again.

The wings are fantastic here. Get the sauce named motor oil. Probably my favorite place for wings anywhere.

Came here passing through. Excellent service, amazing buffalo wings and great drinks. Customers are chatty and sociable. Bartender was efficient and very nice. I don’t live around here, but plan on coming back.

good food

I love a good dive bar, and that’s certainly what this was. The locals didn’t seem to enjoy some outsiders in the bar, so we sat at a table near the door and kept to ourselves. We felt like we were being stared at the whole time, that being said I could see how the place would be a local favorite if I lived here. We had to try the wings and the Motor Oil ones were AMAZING! They came out super fast and were delicious. They had a nice selection of beer on tap, I thought the prices would be a little cheaper for a place like this, but such is life!

The best place I’ve found in the area for hot wings. By area I mean a large portion of Morris & Passaic county. The burgers & steak sandwich’s are excellent also. If the half rack of ribs are on the specials you will not be disappointed and to top it all off the prices are very reasonable.

This place is heaven on earth! Cold beer, great food. Check out the daily lunch specials. The daytime bartender is a sweetheart! Going to make this a daily stop!

We moved to the area a few years ago and have been looking for a great local bar, well we found it! A diamond in the rough. This little pub is tucked away, but worth searching for. We found KPP through Unilocal and wanted to see what it was about. We had a blast! The wings were as good as everyone says and the burger was just as delicious!
On top of some great food and cold beers we got awesome service. Our bartender was super friendly and we never waited for a full beer.
We also got to meet Jimmy, the owner, chef, local legend, I assume… He gave us a little history and told us «customers make your bar». Which I couldn’t agree more! As first time guest, and someone in the business for almost 20 years, this place is 5 stars +. We were treated like we had been regulars for years. We will be back!
It’s a great place, great people!

KPP is one of my new favorite dive bars to grab a drink with friends and eat wings. The biggest plus is that they serve a variety of food that’s pretty good including homemade onion rings, fries, burgers, and of course their signature wings. The wings have a little crunch to them (ever so lightly breaded) and the sauce smells hot but it’s on the milder side in my opinion but packed with flavor instead of heat. No boneless wings for you nontraditional folks though — sorry.
Other notable things are a fair selection of beers on tap (the usual and the occasional IPA) and a decent selection bottled. Dart boards and house darts, karaōke nights, and a pool table are all nice features. My only complaint would be lack of seating/​tables since there are only 2 high tops for 2 each if you don’t want to sit at the actual bar.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone local or just driving by! They have something for everyone.

Nice small bar. Good drinks. Good prices. Good people. You never feel ignored by the bartenders; they’re all very sweet.

Food is ok. Service is awful. Apparently the db bartender thinks he owns the place. I was a well behaved patron that he kicked out because I
hurt his chances with a young customer. There are a million places that serve wings and overpriced waterdiwned beer without douchy bartenders

Friendly people. The bartender is very social. Good/​cheap drinks. They have a patio, tv’s, pool table an a few more other games. The atmosphere is relaxing. And you get to meet new friends. They say the wings are the best. I haven’t got to try them yet but I am sure they will be dynamite!

You know that awesome Cheers bar, where everybody knows your name? This could be that place for you. This is the neighborhood bar you wish was right around the corner from your house.
This isn’t a 5-​star restaurant. This isn’t a high-​falutin’ upscale trendy club. This is what most folks would call a dive bar. But the wings here beat any other place in town, and if you are there when they have the BBQ ribs special — ORDER IT. You will lick the bones clean and ask for more, believe me.
I’ve only been here a handful of times, and while the staff might recognize me, they don’t *really* know my name — but that’s OK. They are still the friendliest folks around, every one of them. The customers, too!
Prices here are also excellent, on both food and drink. Don’t come in asking for a wine list or anything like that. It’s red or white. But mixed drinks are reasonably priced, there is a decent selection of beer on tap and in the bottle, and if you have a special drink you like, they’ll be happy to make it for you.
So, for friendliness… pricing… yummy bar food… and fun ambience… this is a 5-​star dive bar. (And I almost hate to post this review, because I don’t want this place to get crowded… but I also want to give it the shout-​out it deserves.)

See my check in as it was so passionate, I can’t write it twice It is da bomb with Sean at the helm. More wings please…

Of the 3 dive bars I’ve been to over the past year in the area I immediately liked the bar the best. Interesting how after driving past it all these years when going to Wharton Shop Rite I finally discovered it via a
offer (another cool thing is that they take these anytime even weekends).
You always have to evaluate dive bars not by why they don’t have (since they’re usually small places) by what they do. What do they have– a nice friendly local atmosphere, top notch wings and a menu that’s just the right size. My friend was ecstatic to see taylor ham on the menu at a place other than a diner. Wings had a nice assortment of flavors and looking forward to trying the motor oil next time I’m in.
What sold me on the place was after we ordered the chef came over and explained they just had a big takeout order and it will be a little longer than expected. He chatted with us for a couple minutes about the wings. How many places would do that? We talked about while a place like Buffalo Wild Wings would have all the big TVs and bigger menu, it doesn’t compare to a more intimate place like this. Not to mention the fact their wings are much better.
Only downside is there’s only two tables that seat 2 people. You understand the size limitations which are complicated by it having a pool table but maybe they can figure out a way to squeeze another table or two in there. Once the bar got packed a number of people did have to stand (although I suspect they didn’t mind).
Bottomline– the best dive bar I’ve found in the Sussex/​Morris area.

I don’t normally give «dive bars» 5-​stars, Knotty Pine is the first ! Cheap drinks, above average bar food (try the wings), lots of locals (male and females), good conversations, friendly staff. Why not stop in if the wife is shopping across the street at Costco or Shop-​Rite? 2 TVs, pool table out door patio in season.

Nice bar great bartenders, the wings are to do die for. The weekend daytime bartender has a nice ass and is easy on the eyes. If your a NY Giant fan you must come by during game day.

Not bad for a dive bar. Service was friendly, professional and no screwing around. Some drunk, rowdy kids were handled with class by a bartender who was one of the best I’ve seen. He handled the commotion and WHILE he mixed the drinks. Dude was on his game and the people were friendly. The darts were fun and the beer cold. Very cool joint.

This place is a small little bar I had no clue existed until I went with a friend.
The place is small, but had a decent size bar. There is also a pool table in good condition that cost a buck to play.
The food and drinks are very reasonably priced.
There seemed to be only one unisex bathroom which didn’t seem to have any problems but I found it slightly odd.

This bar reminds me of something out of an old slasher flick — think BLACK CHRISTMAS (the original w/​Margot Kidder) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME — complete with various oddball locals and tough as nails staff. The walls are decorated with patches from PD’s as far away as Las Vegas and Winnipeg, and firefighter helmets. This is definitely a black hole type of place that you could easily find yourself getting lost in a pint of Guinness — and living not to regret it.
