For the second year in a row, a Caldwell bar has been voted as one of the best beer bars in the country.

Cloverleaf Tavern on Bloomfield Avenue was named the top place for beer lovers in the Northeast region by CraftBeer.com.

"A great craft beer bar is only as good as its great craft beer customer base. We put pride and hard work not only in providing a great variety of craft beer, but educating guests on craft beer as well," Ryan Dorchak, general manager/operating partner of Cloverleaf Tavern, told the website. "This is a great honor and we send a warm thank you to all those who helped us achieve this success: our guests, staff and supporters."

The survey was conducted with more than 19,000 CraftBeer.com readers. The website collected over 3,400 nominations nationwide and then narrowed them down to compile regional rankings.

The Cloverleaf received the most votes in the Northeast region, earning it a spot on the website's 2014 Great American Beer Bars overall list.

In the Northeast, four other bars made the list: Bulls Head Public House in Lititz, Pa.; Growler & Gill Craft Beer Shoppe in Nanuet, N.Y.; The Farmhouse Tap & Grill in Burlington, Vt.; and The Ruck in Troy, N.Y.
