I don't end up here often, but when I do, I'm never disappointed. Silky's Bloomfield has a great rotating selection of draft beers and their menu is surprisingly tasty. I say surprisingly, not because anything about the place would indicate otherwise, but simply because when a place feels more like a bar then a restaurant, I anticipate that I'll be served basic bar food.
On the contrary, Silky's burgers are delicious and they have some non-standard fare like the Stuffed Peppers that are always crowd pleasers.
The Bloomfield location has the additional benefit of some nice outdoor seating on the quieter end of Liberty Ave., indoor shuffleboard, good sports watching TVs, and a jukebox.
There are lots of bars to choose from in Bloomfield, but Silky's makes a strong play to be your go-to neighborhood hangout.
