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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“Awesome atmosphere and a great draft selection! The appetizers we got were excellent as well! The staff was friendly and had great energy 🩵 would go back in a heartbeat.

The ribeye French dip was sooo tender, and the pasta was delicious too
They also have great promos!

Came here Sunday evening for the rooftop, but unfortunately it was closed
The terrace was still beautiful though, especially the lighting“

“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.“

“Excellent food, drinks and great service.“

“Definitely a nice spot! For a place with no TVs they have a really good turnout of people. Wait times can be a little long but St. Mark’s is nice to walk down, especially in the summer while you’re waiting. Food was good, but nothing to write home about. My burger was slightly undercooked which was sad, but the mozzarella sticks were good! The shredded parmesan on top gave it a nice subtle flavor. Looked like a fun place to grab drinks, may be more inclined to do that next time instead.“

“Out of town and looking for a game, this is your place! Especially in this time where safety is important, this outdoor atmosphere is wonderful. Food trucks to take care of you hunger and a bar to quench your thirst. LetsgoBucs!“

“We recently hosted a family dinner at Ralph’s Sports Bar. Ralph and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that we were happy. My family thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. My aunt said the chicken francese was the best that she has had and the wings and burgers were outrageous. We are looking forward to our next event at Ralph’s!“

“Anable Basin is literally one of my favorite spots in the city, especially during the summer. The views are so pretty, the drinks are good, and the whole vibe is just so fun and relaxed. The staff is also super cool and personable. I love coming here with friends, sitting by the water, and watching the sunset (the best view in New York imo). Definitely a go-to spot for me!“

“The vibe is electric. Great drinks, food & staff. Fun place to watch the game. I'll be back.“

“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 ? ?“

“Great place happening lots of fun good food n drinks Lov it“

“I recently had a celebration at Rose’s with about 30 friends, and it was the perfect spot for it. The team was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish, everything felt seamless, and the space was welcoming and relaxed, especially on such a nice day. ☀

The drinks were fantastic (you have to get one served in a pineapple 🍍), and the whole setup made it easy to just hang out and enjoy the day with our friends without having to worry about anything.

Couldn’t recommend it more for anyone looking for a fun, laid-back spot to host a group or event in Williamsburg!“

“My buddy and I checked out this cute spot after work. The $10 Happy Hour was the draw, since we were in the mood for a sptitz. We also got the oysters which were very fresh and delicious. Next we had the sliders which really hit the spot.
The service was great and the ambience teriffic. You should go.“

“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.“

“There service absolutely 💯 LOVE THE PLACE AND EVERYONE IN IT THERE MY OTHER FAMILY'S THEY GREET EVERYONE WITH OPEN ARMS ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY JEFFREY AND GISELE THERE THE OWNERS IF U WANT TO HAVE A EVENT THERE THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE ESPECIALLY THERE SERVICE 😀 THESE ARE DIFFERENT EVENT TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT AND LOVE“

“The atmosphere was intimate and overall good vibe with the music. The food was amazing, no complaints! We got the spinach pasta with the breaded chicken and penne vodka with the steak, it was perfectly seasoned and had generous portions. If you do decide to go ask for Symon, he was very helpful and the service was great! We will definitely be back.“

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

“A marvelous local hangout for delicious classic food with unique twists. Cannot beat the aged steak, baked potato and creamed spinach, with a iceberg wedge salad and a few iced mini carafes of Martinis. And of course live jazz Fridays and Saturdays.“

“Great places to see stand-up comedy unfortunately I haven’t eaten here yet, but I did have a drink, and the staff was fast and friendly

It’s great about this place you have the bar in the front and then the Comedy in the back which is always the perfect mix because whenever you don’t want to pay attention to the Comedy, you can come out and enjoy a great bar

Lots of windows, great location, and great comics

If you’re Comic great place if you stand up. If you’re an audience member a great place to go to watch comedy“
