Absolutely incredible experience!! Phenomenal handcrafted unique drinks and amazing staff- Val, Sam, and Jay! With the smaller space, everyone was extremely accommodating and made us feel comfortable. The atmosphere is chic and intimate. The music was perfectly curated. Only went for drinks, so we didn't get a chance to get food, but it looked delicious, and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!

I absolutely love this place. But what really stood out was the amazing service I received while I was there. I believe her name was Ethel. So kind. So knowledgeable and prompt. I will gladly come as long as she’s there. As a Food Network personality having been on chopped and beat Bobby Flay I take my dinning experiences serious when I have the time off. She delivered with zero disappointment. Give her a raise! Can’t wait to come back for another visit.

Hands down the best bar in Hoboken. I have had the absolute pleasure of working with the manager, Ethel on several events at Little Bar. She is incredibly talented, creative, considerate, responsive and detail oriented. The drinks and food are AMAZING. The ambiance is similar to a Manhattan speakeasy, which is so rare in Hoboken, where its full of sports bars and Irish pubs. Ethel creates such an elevated experience and has impeccable taste. I highly recommend bringing out of town friends and family there or first dates as a way to impress people and to 1000% have a private party there. The staff will treat you like absolute royalty. It is always my go-to spot for a mature night life experience in the area.

The Little Bar isn’t for everyone — and thank God for that.
Yes, the cocktails cost more than your usual Hoboken spot. But it’s refreshing to go somewhere that treats you like a person and doesn’t bow to entitlement.
No, they won’t move your seat because you’re “too close to the door.” Guess what? Everyone’s close to the door — the place is tiny on purpose. That’s the charm.
And if you’re upset about being “tricked” into bottled water… be serious. You can literally say, “Oh no thanks, I meant tap.” Paying $5,000 in rent and complaining about $8 water says more about you than it does about them.
This bar is tiny on purpose. Hard to get into on purpose. Good on purpose.
Every cocktail is crafted — not splashed together while someone yells over Pitbull. You come here for conversation, for the playlist, and for a martini that actually tastes like care.
So yeah — it’s not cheap. But neither is taste.
It’s basically a West Village bar that got tired of Manhattan and moved across the river to chill — and honestly, so did most of us.
And to Ethel — thank you Queen for taking this bar to NYC levels. Your regulars see the passion, the long nights, and the perfection in every pour.

I’ve been here numerous times food and drinks are very good. Hector and Ethel always do a nice job 👍
Michael Barry & Weng Lee.... Can you please figure things out with this place!!!! I come in at 10:04 pm (check the camera) yesterday (10/23) and Ethel S. says they closed at 10pm yet google says 11pm... It's a freaking Thursday at 10pm and Bin 14s bar is open, City Bistro is open, Madison Bar n Grill is open yet a high-end curated cocktail bar is not... Do you want to work or no? Which one is it.... The inconsistency of this place makes me want to bang my head against the wall, But if I do that I'd get a concussion then I can't drink...
Please figure your non sense out!!!

The atmosphere is great and cozy, the menu has lots of options but be careful - as soon as you sit they serve you mineral water and then charge the bottle 8$. By principle this doesn’t go well by me, just for that I will not go again.

Little Bar is a hidden Gem with a big Heart, tucked away just off the waterfront, its Hoboken’s best-kept secret. The atmosphere is cozy yet elevated, perfect for a date night or just a relaxed evening with friends. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible team—Ethel, who runs the show with warmth and precision, making every guest feel like a VIP. And of course, Hector, who is a cocktail wizard. His creations are thoughtful, balanced, and always served with a smile. Whether you're sipping a dirty martini or having your special drink, you’re in expert hands. Little Bar isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s an experience you’ll want to repeat. Thanks to ethel & hector for making my every visit so warming and special.

It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink before or after dinner. Ethel and the team are incredibly welcoming and consistently provide top-notch service and great recommendations. Can’t recommend this place enough — I’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you!!
