50 Best Pubs near Jersey City

“Didn't eat. Killed two hours here rather easily. Immediately had two open spots at the bar but we were lucky in our timing, this place can get full fast. Never had to wait for a new drink, bartenders were on top of everything.It's a local stop in Jersey City, though, so be prepared for the accent and the attitude. If you're not from Hudson County, it might seem a little rough, but this is a great spot. Lean into it.Parking: If you don't parallel park then go to a mall, you don't belong here.“

“Fox & Crow is the premiere Listening Venue in Jersey City. The music room is small, like a local jazz club from back in the day (think Coltrane or Monk at the 5 Spot), but that gives it a focused vibe and electric intimacy that you can't get anywhere else in JC at this time.“

“I have been here a few times and I mean it is a typical pub like any other. It's pretty clean and it can get full. I had their burger one drunken night and I knew it was good but I didn't quite remember it. So today my husband and I got their burger again and HOLY, it is one of the best I have had in JC. My husband actually told the bartender the story about how we tried a hyped up burger in the area and it was so so and she actually told the owner about it and he made us the burger from scratch. This place is very JC and they have such great service and food!“

“Excellent. Loved the service and the food. My first time visiting from Florida.“

“best wings in NJ possibly but definitely in Jersey City. Great part of Jersey City in a safe area, safe bar, good times, good music. great staff, good people, chill vibe and great deals for the everything . Definitely a go to spot to mellow out especially on a budget too“

“It was the best burger we’ve had in a long time! And the onion rings..OMG!“

“Such a great sports bar in a great area in JC! Lots of seating inside with a bar and plenty of tables and I believe an upstairs section. Service is always great and food is great too with lots of options. We got a chicken quesadilla, mozzarella sticks, nachos, and buffalo chicken eggrolls which were our favorite! Overall a great experience.“

“Great Steakhouse, true classic“

“Wend to Avoca without a reservation on a Saturday morning, we were grateful to get a table without having to wait too long; but then the table turned out to be in the aisle between the entrance to the kitchen and the bathroom on a very tight and on the way spot. I feel like that table should not exist at all since it was just a risk of getting hit by trays and being uncomfortably on the way. For food, I had a coffee, a single mimosa (bottomless is also an option but was not feeling it at the time) and the avocado toast which was delicious and very filling. The service was polite but a bit slow , which is expected given how packet the restaurant was on a Saturday morning. Would recommend and be back , with a reservation next time!“

“Service was excellent, food arrived quickly & was wonderful.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“Came here on a Saturday night and it definitely has a cozy vibe with the dark wood and dim lighting; good spot for a date or hang with friends. Was able to be seated in the back and they were playing the fight on tv, which was nice, albeit makes it feel a little more casual.Kitchen was open till 11, which was great. The pastrami sandwich was delicious and the kale Caesar was good, but would say go for the sandwich/ burgers. Would definitely come back.“

“They have a big selection of beers to pick from and I’m glad we stopped by for drinks. The decorations are more on the simpler side, but there’s several tables and chairs. For people who don’t like bitter beers, I’d recommend their half moon mosaic dream ipa or espresso martinis. We will definitely come back to try more drinks and have more of their espresso martinis. They also have a two drink minimum for credit cards. You can keep an open tab for the night and pay before you leave.“

“Great staff and awesome food and drink.“

“Met up with my partner after a rehearsal she had down here (she’s the best!) anywho - tried to walk into red hook tavern without a res (like a coupla chumps!). They saidIt was gonna be a seven year wait til we could get the shrimp cocktail, so tail-between-our-legs we hobbled down Van Brunt (like adorable animated dogs from a 90’s Disney Movie) and poked our heads into TGFP (we are on an acronym basis at this point ;) - the vibes ? Immaculate. The food? Indescribable (( actually think the burger rivals RHT ?)), but I digress - unpretentious, creative menu, another gem of the neighborhood. Come here folks or I’ll come and get you !“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“Perfect atmosphere for a quick lunch after visiting the Statue of Liberty. Service was excellent and our waiter was attentive! He even offered suggestions on activities for our family that our 8-year-old would enjoy!“

“great food and people RIP Billy you're very missed“

“After 33 years. Lee's tavern is hard to beat. Have a slice. And you would not know, what hit you. Definitely try the fried Galamari. They give Randazzo's a run for the Money. That's for sure. We give it. A Worldwide Thousand Stars. But always remember. That everybody has different taste buds. We were born in Brooklyn New York. We know what's good. ?????????????????????????????“

“I came here the Friday before St. Patrick's day and was not disappointed. They had live music on a small stage with a large crowd singing along to Irish folk tunes. The atmosphere was lively and reminded me a lot of Dublin pubs.The service was a bit slow, as there were too many patrons and too few bartenders. If they could improve that ratio, this place would be a fantastic place.“

“Cute pocha--they have good music and chill vibes. Came here before going to karaoke near by. We didn't get any food. We did get a beer and a bottle of Jinro! Would recommend if you're looking for a place to pregame or get drinks/food with friends.“

“Went to attend a Bitcoin related talk on a Thursday night. Wish the bar had more cocktail/mock-tail options, but seems like 90% were men, so can’t expect too much.Nice open space at the back of the bar, they host events almost everyday and sometimes a few events a night.Very convenient location, easy to find, food and drinks are good, everyone’s friendly too!“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“Overall rating: 4.9This place is underrated. Love the low key, chill energy in LES. No frills, which is my middle name. The drinks are STRONG, in the best possible way. I didn’t experience any karaoke, but I think I was there too early in the night. Went around 8 on a Saturday.Definitely want to go again if I’m looking for a nightcap or just a chill place in the area.“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“Omni was an Awesome server can’t wait to go back excellent“

“Always good !! Just stopped in on a sunny day to sit outback and enjoy the excellent cheeseburger and kale salad . We love this dive bar, people always friendly and the quality of food for the price is excellent . Been coming here for ten yrs or more and it never disapoints“

“Really good food and wonderful ambience.“

“Great Guiness pour! Glad there were some cider options“

“I went here for the first time on Saturday at 1pm and it was, unexpectedly, one of the best bars I've been to so far in NYC! Rudy is the main contributing factor to my review; he was amazing! We ordered the Totchos (tater tot nachos) which were delicious and had drinks flowing. Nikki, another bartender, arrived before we left and she was also so wonderful. The vibes were amazing - a lot of 20 somethings there to watch sports games. We ended up staying way longer than intended and I'm planning to come back here frequently!“

“It’s an awesome spot to drink and meet beautiful people. Great hospitality“

“Great place to watch sports and excellent bar wings and burgers“

“Great local spot to grab a beer and a burger and watch a game. Made even better now that @shaingallagher has moved over from the Dark Horse which closed.“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Can accommodate groups of All sizes … Grill master is off the chain … Cheeseburger on a pretzel bun are so so delicious … staff is joyful and friendly while the beer selection is one of a kind. Then to all the Players … the music room is wood-based with a vented ceiling both allowing super warmness and absorption for you band’s lower-registered folk and volume-headroom for your scream & shout folk and everything else … what’s not to love … Rock on Radegast !!!!!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience here this past Saturday evening. The atmosphere of this old Irish sports pub was lively and friendly, without being overwhelming. We sat at one of the many tables surrounding the bar. The service was prompt and friendly. The beer and wine were great and the burgers, fries, salad, and salmon were delicious and the portions very generous. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering its location a block and a half south of Central Park. We were just tourists but would come back often if we lived here.“

“I had a blast here this past Saturday. We held a bday get together here and it was so much fun! First off they do separate tabs. Heaven! I had the Brussels sprouts and the steak frite w chimichurri sauce and it was so delicious and filling. The Shark Sandwich cocktail…ok I had like 5 of these, tasty as heck! The crowd was super chill and the dj was spinning music that made us move more and more as the night went on. Can’t recommend this spot enough, can’t wait to be back! Also…Kevin our server is the GOAT. Nicest guy and dealt with 13 people, separate tabs with ease.“

“Great beer selection. Great staff. Good vibe. Good people. I am a native New Yorker and very picky about my bars and defensive of my neighborhood. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner.“

“Good food not over priced with friendly staff 5 star“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“Lovely dive spot for a fresh draft and ambient buzz. Beyond burger and fried pickles served hot and timely. Sweet bartender with knowledge and a smile. Tv screens running White Lotus were either over-the-top irony or well-placed takes on us clientele. A neighborhood haunt full of happy years.Vegetarian options: Beyond burger was good“

“Great place with good cocktails and very good service!“

“First timer there even though I believe they've been around but the food and drinks were awesome and the have screens everywhere for your sports viewing and they will try to set you up with your game while you soak up some food and refreshments....recommend it!!!“

“I absolutely love Jasper’s Tap House & Kitchen! Their Santa Fe chicken sandwich is a standout favorite of mine, worth crossing town for. The fries are divine, and the portion sizes are generous.The staff is also incredibly friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“The perfect pub if you are in the desperate need of a quick pint. It's the definition of "fast drink" instead of "fast food" because sadly this place is lacking of food or at least snacks but I think it's the concept of this place to only serve drinks and I have to say they are doing that on the best level.“

“The place is full of European Vibe!! The decoction is super simple but elegant. They have 21 variety of taps and a lot of Great wine and beer. I just love the dim light and music with good taste of drinks. Bartender in there is super friendly and make you feel comfortable. I just feel like love it.“

“Had an amazing time this evening. Went to see the comedy show Randy Feltface! Went early had great service by Vanessa! Drinks and poutine! Great small venue.“

“the dumplings were amazing“
