Cloverleaf Tavern The Cloverleaf Tavern is a casual family restaurant know for the best burgers and beer selection in Northern NJ. It is currently the oldest business in town.
(3501)

You'll find 25 beers on draft and over 65 bottled beers at the bar. Nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of Bloomfield Avenue lies the Cloverleaf Tavern, a well-established staple in Caldwell, New Jersey. George Dorchak Jr. founded the Cloverleaf Tavern in 1933. George was 23 years old when he borrowed money from his uncle to purchase the first liquor license in Caldwell after prohibition. The building at the time consisted of two stores: a vegetable stand and a bakery. The bakery was called The Bake Shop with a shamrock as it’s logo. This is where George got the idea for the name of his Tavern. In 1940, George made an election bet that won him a ride down Bloomfield Ave in a wheelbarrow. That’s right! The gentleman pushing the wheelbarrow (who remains unidentified today) lost the bet. Watch this amazing video below of George being pushed from the “flats” of Caldwell to Central Avenue.

20 YEARS AGO… IT ALL STARTED HERE! A little throwback to 2006, when we celebrated our very first graduate of the Cloverleaf Tavern’s MBA (Master of B**r Appreciation) program, Jim McHenry. He’ll be here tonight!

What started as a fun way to share our passion for great b**r became a Cloverleaf tradition, bringing together b**r lovers, introducing new styles and creating friendships along the way.

Twenty years later, the b**rs may have changed, but the spirit of the MBA remains the same: great b**r, great people and great memories.

Here’s to our original graduates and everyone who’s been part of the journey since!

Were you part of the early MBA days? We’d love to hear your memories in the comments!
