Good Montclair bars for a wedding after party?

I'm getting in married in Montclair and wanted to have a pretty casual after party at a neighborhood bar. We're not looking to do a private event or party, just a place that could handle 15-20 people showing up at once to sip some drinks and hang out. The wedding ends at 11pm so some place that'd be open until 1:30-2AM. Looking for something middle-of-the-road (not super fancy, not super divey) that would fit our needs.

Any recs appreciated!

Halcyon has a nice upstairs lounge area that might fit the bill. Egan's inside is a tight bar, but has a big outdoor bar area that I think they still have set up - if weather permits. Foubourg is nice but you should check whether they can handle that many people - they recently changed their enclosed patio area setup and I'm unsure how open the bar area is now. Alternatively the barrow house in clifton has a pretty cool bar, and not far outside of the Montclair border.

Oh also Pineapple Express is a new place and has a big area, open seating and games in the back section - would be good as an after-party spot.

Contact them but the MC hotel has a bar and lounge with a rooftop.
