Best Places in Hopatcong to Take Out-of-Towners

HOPATCONG-SPARTA, NJ--Now that Starbucks is being sued for allegedly underfilling their lattes, you’re probably going to need another go-to spot to take your mother-in-law when she comes to town for the holidays.

Luckily, the Hopatcong has plenty of top-notch local options to fill the foamy gap that Starbucks left behind, and coffee’s not your only choice.

With the first day of spring already behind us, the perfect outdoor patio or park could be the ideal location to dazzle your old college roommate and her kids.

Or maybe your brother can’t get enough March Madness and you want to grab a beer at the best sports bar in town.

Whichever way you choose to show your guests a good time, your neighbors have you covered.

We asked Patch readers about their favorite spots in the Hopatcong area to take visitors. Here’s how to ensure a repeat stay:

• "Lake Hopatcong Cruises! They get to see the lake and experience the natural beauty of the area. If you take a dinner cruise, they'll be able to sample some of the food from Alice's, which is one of the best restaurants on the lake."
• The Windlass Restaurant
• Pavinci Italian Grill
• "On Lake Hopatcong on our boat!"
