History

Established in 1933.

George Dorchak Jr. founded the Cloverleaf Tavern in 1933. He purchased the first liquor license in Caldwell after prohibition. In 1942, the bar that is currently at the Tavern replaced the original 12-​foot bar. The current bar was purchased used in Verona for $ 325.00 and is estimated to be over 100 years old, originally built in Brooklyn, NY. In 1972, the present owner, Richard Dorchak, joined the business. Rich’s vision of developing the Cloverleaf Tavern into a family-​oriented, neighborhood restaurant became reality in 1976 he opened the first dining room. In 1990, two more dining rooms were added including a glass Atrium and outdoor patio. In 1993, George’s grandson, Ryan Dorchak joined as the third generation to assist in running the operation. Today, The Cloverleaf Tavern has the capacity to serve 230 guests and has two private party rooms which seats up to 35 and 50 guests.

Business Owner

I am the 3rd generation of the Cloverleaf Tavern in Caldwell, NJ. I joined the business in 1997 full-​time, working with my father who had taken over the business from his father in 1975. My goal is to build relationships with my guests and ensure that they have an excellent experience when dining here at our family restaurant. I recently passed my Certified Cicerone exam which is a designation for those who are experts in beer. I pride myself on the serving and educating our guests on the value of quality beer. If there is anything you need or would like to ask, please do not hesitate to contact me. Cheers!
