Bridgewater Commons

This mall is convenient for us and has pretty much anything we could need. We really enjoy the food court. We are one of the ChickenTeriyaki fans… the long line you see is for that fast food. The Bloomies is small here. I happen to like the Lord and Taylor Department store here. Macy’s is always crowded. The parking is just ok. And the parking lots a little creepy.

Huge — 3 floors — Many stores — Food court has an elaborate selection of foods and free samples which makes me super happy. The Thai Kitchen located on the right side of the food court if you’re facing the windows & tables has extremely rude employees that made fun of me and my boyfriend in front of my face and cackled at us. Granted, they were speaking another language (which is fine) but making fun of someone is a universal language judging by your physical motions, tones, and facial expressions. We are super polite people and did nothing to deserve being treated like that. Learn some respect before you apply for a job dealing with the general public. Since I could not find their business on Unilocal,I will post it here. Should’ve never paid for my meal that night. Just saying.
Otherwise, every store and food place is great here. If they built an H&M i would love this place more than I already do! :)

Great store, excellent staff.
Just ask for Will: tall gentleman.
Microsoft can do a little better with counter space design to assist techs work efficiently and interface better with customers.
Overall experience is always positive.

I’ve been shopping at Bridgewater Commons for as long as I can remember, I mean it’s only 8 minutes away from me! The mall itself is nice. Lots of stores and things to do. You have the AMC theatre, you can get your hair done at the salon, your nails done, and even get a massage. The only place I really shop at here is Macy’s, Bath and Body Works, and VS.
I give them 4 stars because other malls have much larger stores. The Macy’s here is great though. One of my favorites. The security there however is another story…

Walked into the NEW MICROSOFT OFFICE store and the manager TIFFANY told me to wait because she needed to take her break. WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Will never walk in here again. Marisa tried to cover for her boss but the damage was done.

Big mall.
3 floors of shopping. Lots of brand name stores. For example, Bloomingdales, Macys, Apple, GameStop, foot locker, etc.
Gigantic parking lots. No excuse not to find a spot.
Plenty of food options. Big food court. The mall also has the Cheesecake Factory and Mangianos.
Good place to shop around.

It’s okay. They don’t have some of the more popular shops in here but still a decent mall to go on the weekend. Their movie theater and dining arreas are pretty good. It’s disappointing that they don’t have men’s haircut place. But still a good place to come back once in awhile

I love this mall. So many great stores and the people that go there are nice.
It’s close to many office buildings so lunch time at the food court can be a little crowded. They have some great stores that aren’t in other nearby malls — Athleta, Free People, Madewell. They also have some great restaurants in the mall. I also like the little shops outside. It is just a pain when I have the kids to have to get them all in the car, and out again. It’s definitely moving on up.

I should have known better than to try and come here the day before mothers day. Parking was horrendous. The place smelled like someone left a whole truck of sardines open to rot. The store set up was alright. Nothing to truly brag about. Then again jersey has a load of malls so i will stumble upon some place a little bit better

The closest mall to me is Short Hills, which I only go to people watch since I prefer to pay my mortgage rather than buy a Chanel handbag. So when I am in Bridgewater, I visit this mall because I can actually afford something here. yay! In other words, the stores are normal mall stores, nothing crazy high end. Mind you, not as interesting of a locale to people watch as Short Hills. You aren’t as likely to see women trying to cheat the hands of time with silicone on their well you know, but if shopping is what you want then Bridgewater is the right place. Nice mall, good stores, ok food court.

Yeah, time for a revamp. The rating stays the same, though.
This mall has been around for a long time. It’s easily located off of US-​22 (via Commons Way) and US-​202/​US-​206. This mall has three levels filled with stores, with one of them containing a food court. There’s also «The Village», which is separate from the main mall unit (but still on the same property) that contains a tiny mix of eateries and boutiques.
This mall is anchored by Macy*s, Bloomingdales, and Lord and Taylor. There’s also the AMC theater as well. Most of the stores consisted of clothes, shoes, and jewelry. Other stores included electronics and pricey specialties, such as Apple, Microsoft, Brookstone, Godiva, and Swarovski.
Once in a while, we come here to look around. We used to buy some stuff in the past, but not anymore. We would end up looking at Macy*s, GameStop, Microsoft, and Apple. Then we would just simply walk around.
I remember when the Lindt Chocolate store used to be here. Almost every time we went to this mall, we would end up buying some truffles from them. It’s a shame that’s long gone. Much of what they have in this mall is quite expensive.
Also, even though this mall has three floors, this isn’t a big mall. If you were to walk from one side to another on each floor without stopping, then you would be done in a very short period of time. If you’re like me, who likes to walk around big malls, then you may not like this mall.
The property itself also has a small area called «The Village». This area consists of a mix of upscale clothing and bath & beauty stores. There’s also the Crate and Barrel store here too. Finally, there are some restaurants in this area too, including Maggiano’s, Starbucks, and Chipotle.
Overall, even though this mall has some stores that are worth visiting, there’s just nothing too unique about this place.

Bloomingdales, lord and Taylor, and Macys… oh my!
I think of bridgewater mall as more high end than Menlo or Woodbridge but not to the level of short hills. This mall has a lot of high end stores that I wasn’t able to find at those other malls (bloomies, lulu lemon, madewell, etc). This mall even has your higher end home stores (pottery barn, Williams Sonoma, crate and Barrell). Really, the directory is huge, you could find just about anything here
Even some good food options in this mall like California pizza kitchen and maggianos is on the outskirts of the property.
The mall is kept well and I never feel like I’m being harassed by salespeople in the main drag going from store to store. All of these things make for a pleasant shopping experience.

Bridgewater commons is off the beaten path (especially for North Jerseyian). That being said, it is well worth the trip. Bridgewater commons has all of the big name stores and a lot of unique small shops. The mall itself is a 3 story juggernaut, yet it doesn’t feel overwhelming like Jersey Gardens. Moreover, the mall is clean and the grounds are well maintained!
The directory shops are extensive. You can literally find anything under the sun in the mall. Some of the cool attractions as Bridgewater includes a dine-​in movie theater, William-​Sonoma, Vera Bradley, more Jewelry stores than you can count, Bloomies, Maggiano’s, Chipotle and a ton more.
There is plenty of parking, and the mall never feels jam packed (unlike other malls). I am a fan!

This mall has gone way down hill. The variety of store’s are not great. Better off going online. I like to walk around though, try things on… be reminded of how poor I am… Gaze at the window’s of most of the clothing store’s and, realize I need to loose 40 pounds to fit in half their stuff. Of course I love bath and body works. Secondly there is a t mobile on the second floor which is cool. Idk if the world ended would this be the mall I would want to hide in with a group of strangers? ?? Hmmmmm probably not. Sorry Bridgewater Mall you don’t make the cut with me…

For those of you that still like to shop the old fashioned way, you won’t find a place better than Bridgewater Commons to find the stores you want.
I rarely stagger into malls, except for my obligatory «man’s shopping trip» on Christmas Eve day or a time very close in proximity to that day. This place has pretty much anything you can think of. Unlike it’s smaller siblings in the mall industry, this place has many of the «high end» and specialty places that you won’t find elsewhere.
They have a large food court, several restaurants attached, solid anchor stores, high end options, and almost any specialty store you could imagine. II I didn’t like shopping with the multiple conveniences of the internet, free shipping, and the ability to sit around in my underwear while doing it all, I’d visit this place more.

This mall is a great alternative to the super-​busy North Jersey malls. From Hoboken/​Jersey City take 78 West to 287 South and you’ll be there in about 40 minutes. It’s a mid-​sized mall with many of the mall retail regulars (J. Crew, Banana Republic, Starbucks), a few surprises (Uniqlo, Crate & Barrel) and solid anchor stores (Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor’s). Only absence I noticed was the Gap.
There is an AMC multi-​theater on premises, a modest, but satisfying food court, and the big restaurants would be Cheesecake Factory and Maggiano’s.
In my opinion, the desirability factor is that the mall seems to never get crazy-​crowded on weekends, unlike others closer to home. So if you’re up for the ride, this is an excellent shopping spot.

I love coming here. This mall is a hidden Jen among all the other malls locally. All the big name retailers and a lot of fun small businesses. When I’m here I stop at the iCity iPad repair people and I always stop at the bananas healthy shake stand in the food court. Love the muscle builder! Also another secret is Gloria’s coffee up stairs by foot locker.
Parking is easy. But people are dumb. Lol!

I love coming to Bridgewater Commons Mall! I just located the new charging stations for your media devices, cool beans! However, no shortages of teenagers charging their devices, seems the security keeps them moving along, though… Allowing others the use the stations, as well, which is fair…
Parking can be a little hectic and finding a good spot can be challenging… I can usually find a spot near the Cheesecake Factory under the garage area and if not there, by the Macy’s entrance is my second choice.
There are three levels to the mall; theater and the food court are located on the third level, as well. Restrooms are located on all three levels; always clean and fully stocked.
In addition, there are additional stores located across the way from the main mall and restaurants such as Maggiano’s and Chiptole… Maggiano’s offers party rooms if you’re having an event, which is nice. Love Bridgewater Mall!

I feel like once you’ve shopped at Short Hills nothing else compares. Except for the part where I’m poor now. So this mall will suffice, that and it’s 1.4 miles from work.
Pros: Bloomies, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Lego Store, Apple, Michael Kohrs, Sephora, and Starbucks. And OMG Uniqlo!!! The food court is decent too. I will eat at Saldworks or get the sushi instead of driving to Wegmans. I haven’t died yet, so good job sushi stand.
Cons: They let teenagers roam the mall. This is not allowed at short hills. There is a movie theater attached to the mall that allows for people that aren’t shopping to roam the mall. No bueno. Lots of crappy stores too. I also think the Gap is across ²⁰²⁄₂₀₆.
It’s like Willowbrook, but a wee bit more upscale. Or like Menlo minus Nordstroms.
But honestly, if I didn’t work here, I wouldn’t drive here. I can get everything I need, want or desire at Short Hills or the Internet.

Wow, I haven’t been here since I was probably a teenager and boy has it changed. The Commons was always Hot Girl Central when I was a young punk mallrat, back in the days when the mall was rumored to be «sinking» into the ground, not long after it first opened.
Today, while the mall itself is still fairly nice with a few good high-​end stores, it feels completely soulless from the mall I remember. The Menlo Park Mall is much nicer, cozier, and elegant feeling compared to this. And at least the Freehold Mall has a few options for entertaining the kids. And if you really want high end, well, you of course go to the Short Hills Mall.
Yep, I’m a Jersey Boy. I know my malls. And this ain’t one I’ll be rushing back to.
TIP: Park in the parking deck and kick your shopping trip off with a martini or three at the bar at the AMC movie theater when you first walk in. Can’t promise any hot girls, though, other than maybe my female Unilocal friends who still like coming here.
