50 Best Bar & Grill near Jersey City

“I stopped by McGinley Square Pub and really enjoyed the laid-back neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of place where locals come to relax, grab a drink, and catch up with friends. The food was classic pub fare — simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming and casual. Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood bar if you’re looking for a chill spot to hang out.“

“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.“

“Great times all the time.“

“Great food, good drinks, nice environment, friendly staff.“

“Had a terrific lunch here. Some of the best ceviche I've ever eaten. Entrees were excellent and, according to my husband (who's been to Peru), authentic to the spirit of the country. I also got the arroz chufa with steak. Yum! Ample portions and good value. First meal on this trip to NYC and it'll be hard to beat. HIGHLY recommended.“

“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“Great food, friendly staff and efficient service, highly recommended“

“Malone's Irish Bar & Restaurant was a great find. The menu offered a large variety of items, and I opted for the shepherd’s pie, which was delicious and came in a very generous portion. Others in our group chose salads, and everyone seemed pleased with their meals.

We were lucky to catch happy hour, and the old-fashioned I had was perfectly made. While the restaurant was a bit lively and loud, we were still able to carry on a conversation comfortably. The staff was very kind, patient, and attentive throughout our visit.

If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend giving Malone’s a try for good food, drinks, and a friendly atmosphere.“

“Great place! Great drinks and eats! Great vibe! Highly recommend!“

“This place felt like a warm welcome from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was so inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious each bite bursting with freshness. The chicken steak sandwich was a standout, along with the Philly cheesesteak and those waffle fries topped with chili and cheese they were a dream! The sweet potato fries were a treat, too. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This place it right near.our hotel so we decided to stop in for a quick dinner before a comedy show somewhere else. The food is great! I had a smash burger and the patties were crispy and perfect. The fries are also so crispy! I didn't think I'd finish them but I sure did. I'd love to make it for a comedy show sometime!“

“LOVE this place. I don't come often, but every time I have, I've had a great experience. Chicken fingers are pretty great ?, and bartender Sean (not Shaun or God forbid Shawn ?) is super friendly and makes awesome drinks! I've sat outside, and the service out there is awesome, too! Great vibe, all around. Oh, and the 70's music is outstanding! An extra bonus ? ?“
