The Ho-Ho-Kus Inn & Tavern is one of the best NJ private dining event venues for celebrations, with historical significance as one of the oldest restaurants in New Jersey, established in 1790, and on the Registry of Historic Places in Bergen County, NJ.
Cocktail Party:
Transform any one of our dining rooms to offer a more casual space for mixing and mingling with a combination of high top cocktail tables and tables for seating. Customizing your choice of heavy or light passed hors d’oeuvres, cold and hot food stations, as well as flexible ways to handle your beverage service is always based on your preferences. Our “build-your-own” cocktail party package is ideal if you are looking for a little bit of everything without the formality!
Traditional Pre-Fix Menus:
Whether it is brunch, lunch or dinner, we offer several pre-fixed packages to begin the process to fit the vision you have in mind for your event. Supplement your meal with an optional cocktail hour, including passed hors d’oeuvres and family style appetizer options.
Wine or Craft Beer Tastings:
Choose a theme or let us do it for you! Our sommelier will help you select a grouping of wines or beers to be paired with a personalized menu created by our Executive Chef. We can create anything from a full four-course dinner, to a lighter selection of paired small plates, or even offer a cocktail style tasting without the formality of coursed pairings.
Mixology Tastings:
Shake things up and have our in house mixologist craft you and your guests a customized cocktails! Learn how each cocktail is made while enjoying food pairings prepared by our Executive Chef. Your guests rave about the experience and will get to take home the recipes to each cocktail!

Corporate Events and Meetings:
Join us for your business meeting, networking event or post meeting re-treat! Our Chateau Room is AV equipped with a digital projector and audiovisual screen perfect for video or slide show presentations. If you have already had your meeting in the office, then our tasting events, cocktail parties or pre-fix dinner packages are a great re-treat for after hours.
Customizable Experiences:
Can’t find exactly what you are looking for? Explain your party vision to our management team and let them customize an event and package just for you.
“Own” the Inn:
Reserve the entire restaurant to use at your leisure! This would give you the use of our four dining rooms, two bars and outdoor bluestone patio, just like your own home would, without all the work. Food stations can be set in each room, passed hors d’oeuvres through out the restaurant, and DJ and dancing (optional) in the bar. If you are planning a wedding or large party and don’t want the typical banquet hall experience, this is the perfect option for you!
