Homestead Bar & Kitchen

"Came on a Tuesday night for the line dancing. I arrived early to try the burrata flatbread special, and it did not disappoint. It was a delicious dinner with fresh toppings and a nice crispy crust. The bartenders took good care of me refilling my water. The gal in the glasses was super sweet, and helpful in answering my questions. I’m new to NJ from AZ, so I’m very familiar with the southwest country dance scene. The only thing that annoyed me was how the DJ wasn’t the best. He favored the newer and boppy dances that fewer people knew, while telling the old school/ traditional dancers for copperhead road to dance on the upper level. There were a handful of songs where very few folks knew how to dance to, and the rest of the crowd was left to stand around and just watch. To improve, I think the DJ could arrange the songs so that there were alternating country music and pop songs. The night started with country and then transitioned to just pop. Queuing the songs to alternate would allow everyone to join in the songs they prefer, and it’d let the dance floor shift as people take rest/refill breaks. I think the line dancing events are new for Homestead. It’ll take a bit of treaking to find out what works best for them. I can’t wait to return for the next country line dancing night!"

"A fun atmosphere, full bar and service staff that takes a while to recognize they have a new customer. Not sure why that happens, having a Barkeep ignore you is frustrating. The beer and drink choices are good however the bar food coming out of the kitchen, I would suggest to order food in another Morristown eatery. My recommendation to revamp the kitchen to deliver better quality and serve the food hot, it sits around too long to be delivered to your table/bar. Simple things can make or break a place, so please take this as constructive advise."

"I had one of the worst experiences of my life here last night. I’m from NYC and had always heard that NJ has great spots, but this place was extremely disappointing. After having dinner, we went to this bar. One of my friends wasn’t feeling well, and instead of handling the situation with basic care or professionalism, one of the security guards told her she couldn’t stay and tried to physically force her out. I told them not to touch her because we were already leaving. Despite that, another security guard came over and aggressively removed me from the place as if we had done something terrible. There was absolutely no attempt to handle the situation respectfully or de-escalate. The security staff was unnecessarily aggressive and completely unprepared to deal with guests in a humane and professional way. It was shocking and honestly frightening. Places like this should understand that women deserve to feel safe, not manhandled by security for no reason. Based on my experience, this is not a safe or respectful environment for women. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before going here."

"We recently hosted our staff holiday party at Homestead Bar & Kitchen in Morristown, NJ, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The event planners were so easy to work with. The event staff were very attentive, food was delicious and accommodating to our dietary restrictions, and everyone went above and beyond! The private space upstairs mezzanine was the highlight—it provided the perfect, intimate setting for our group to gather and celebrate the season. A huge thank you to Deanna, Sara, and the entire Homestead team for their incredible hospitality and hard work. If you’re looking for a venue with a private space, great atmosphere, and a professional team, I highly recommend them. We look forward to hosting more events here in the future!"
