50 Best Beer Bars near Jersey City

“I’ve only been here on game days (NFL). The atmosphere is always kinda electric; depends on who you support. They have week brunch till 4, you can order a lot great cocktails - I recommend the Irish coffee. It can get a bit rowdy, but that’s what sports is all about. I really love the exposed brick architecture and the selection of beers as well.“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“Every dish at 87 Sussex was a savory journey. From delicate Escargot Wontons and Ox & Eggs to the bold Hoppin Poppers Frog Legs and sweet Barnegat Scallops—Chef Brian has redefined luxury dining.

The Braised Short Rib melted in my mouth while the Prime New York Strip and Chef's Special brought a rich, savory finish. And for dessert? Chocolate Turtle Cake, Passion Fruit Trifle, and the refreshing Sorbet & Berries.“

Leftbank Jersey City is a great taste of American food and Jersey culture. Great service and great food makes my day, that’s all kid can ask for! ??? This is just a sample of food art and comfort.“

“Canopy is fantastic! I was hosting a party for 20 people, and 2 days before the event I found out our venue wasn’t going to work. Martin worked with me to pull together a beautiful party on very short notice, taking a huge stress off my mind. Eddy, KC, and the whole team took great care of our group on the night of the event. Our guest of honor (and everyone else) loved everything- the delicious desserts, the beautiful setting, the drinks. I am so grateful and would absolutely recommend Canopy for events or just a night out.“

“Love the roof top and the price of beer are great“

“This felt like an upscale restaurant without the upscale prices. The food was creative and tasty! We had the meatballs, kale gratin and a pizza. The meatballs were outstanding!! The pizza was very good, much better than other vegan pizza that use too much fake cheese. The creative toppings really made it! The kale was our least favorite, because the other 2 were so delicious.“

“I love this Craft Beer and Burgers but this place is amazing is like you were in Disneyland roller coaster of flavors and I’m very thankful to my Server Kendra L. Briggs to take care any time and how she’s rolling this place from the beginning to the end great food experience and service as well!!!!!“

“This is a cool restaurant nestled on the 3rd Floor of the Virgin Hotels. The atmosphere and decor are unique . It's a restaurant, lounge, bar and rooftop with an amazing view of the Empire State Building. Its up to you on what mood and vibe you are in, they give you options. The food is flavorful. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.“

“This sweet bar is the best around! My partner and I recently had our little wedding party here and I cannot speak highly enough about the drink selection, ambience, or INCREDIBLE owners and staff. Definitely a favorite and we will be going back for years to come.“

“The whole family loves it! A go-to comfort spot for us.Great selection of beers on tap.“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“If you love craft beer, a chill vibe, AND the east village, then you'll love Proletariat!It's a very spacious place that provides a beer menu on the wall right when you walk in.They have seating but no wait staff so you'll have to order your drinks at the bar. The bartender was very knowledgeable and very friendly!If you want to have a nice conversation at a place that isn't too loud while enjoying a variety of beer, then I highly recommend Proletariat. I'll definitely return. ?“

“I am ashamed to say that I didn't spend as much time here as I would have liked to. From what I experienced, I did enjoy the time I did. This place is what happens when you get rid of the babers' chairs and replace them with craft beer and small plates. I thought I was alone, being a person of color, who had an elevated appreciation of small batch beers. It's nice to know that I'm not alone. Like a barbershop, this is a place where locals gather to speak of things that matter to them. To enjoy each other's company and to spoil their elevated taste bud's. When I return to N.Y. this place will be at the top of my list. BUT you guys REALLY need to update the menu on Google“

“Great selection of canned beer and cool ciders. Taps are limited but fresh.“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“I recently visited a craft beer bar that really stood out for its selection of cans and bottles. Their array of choices caters to all sorts of craft beer aficionados. A personal highlight was the Hop Butcher on tap. The service here deserves mention - not only were the staff friendly, but also knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Additionally, the glasses provided for the beer were perfect, enhancing the drinking experience. This bar is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good craft beer.“

“Endroit très cool ou boire un verre, si tant est qu'on est un français sympathique qui sait dire "s'il vous plait", "merci", et qui sait avoir 2 mots de conversation. Je recommande
Passer un bon moment

“Very good craft + Carry location. You know what you’re getting, local beer, cold, clean taps.

The selection was decent, most 10-14oz pours are $8-$11

The glasses are clean, that wouldn’t seem like a big thing but unfortunately it’s.

The location is very clean, the staff was chill.“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“Dinner was outstanding.. I suggested it and went with two friends that also owned another neighborhood in the restaurant and they were so inspired by it. They too are desiring and working on making their restaurant seed oil free. It feels so good to eat at Chambers knowing that they don't. Use canola, soy bean, safflower, sunflower, toxic oils with proofers and only use extra-virgin olive oil butter I believe and coconut oil? The service is outstanding so different than the next everything is so fresh and responsibly sourced. It's my favorite restaurant these days, but my friends might turn into when they become free, which is very important to me Thank you Chambers for doing such a great job “

“My partner and I held our wedding party at Threes and it couldn't have been more perfect. Angie, our event planner, was on top of everything all night and prior to the event. The team was also so accommodating with our slightly different approach to a wedding party - including putting up a piñata!

We are beyond grateful for the thought and care Angie and everyone else on the team put into the evening. The staff made us feel so welcomed. And everyone was so friendly, so professional.

Love Threes!“

“Espectacular, la vista, la atención y los cócteles. Todo es perfecto“

“Staff was very friendly. Service was quick, but you don’t feel rushed out“

“If you want to go into the best time warp of your life and eat all the most amazing food while hanging with the coolest staff in NYC, Bernie’s is for you. But don’t go because I don’t want to have to fight for a seat with the regular degular folks since I’ve been frequenting this hot spot for years! Jk it’s the absolute best I wish I could live there.“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“I've had dinner at Greywind, but my first time for lunch. We shared four small dishes, and they were all excellent! Service was great--attentive but not overly intrusive. High on the list for a return visit. Dan Kluger is one of the best in the city, and he really nailed it here.“

“This cozy, dog-friendly neighborhood bar has a great vibe and an ever-changing lineup of exciting, new beers that will keep you coming back. Includes comfortable outdoor seating and an inviting atmosphere among familiar, friendly faces. The service here is excellent, and the beers are always new and exciting. Don't miss their connected sister bar Twist!“

“loved the guac here, seemed so fresh, and it comes with plaintains too“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Stop what you’re doing and re-route yourself to this place immediately if you like beer, bratwurst and burgers. The brat is prepared locally and served on and served on a delicious, fresh and toasted to perfection baguette with grainy mustard and a generous portion of kraut. Truly the best brat I’ve had outside of the Midwest. The menu prices do not reflect the high quality of food here, and I’m shocked they aren’t charging more. Absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back.

Had we not devoured our food so quickly I would’ve taken a picture.“

“We went in no knowing anything about this place and had an incredible time. The scallops were my personal favorite, but the PB&J was just amazing, how do they make something so simple taste so great?

Beer was also awesome and the service was top notch. Very intimate and great to chat with the chefs.

Highly recommend.“

“Great staff and awesome food and drink.“

“In town from Texas and had to stop by! I've always been an other half fan and went to the domino location a few years back. It's a small place but they still had a good variety on tap. Also had cocktails for those that would be interested. Can't wait to be back, cheers!“

“We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“Stopped by Holy Pita for a quick bite before dinner. We ordered a few appetizers including the falafel, sumac fries, Moroccan cigars and wings. The fries were my favorite. Nice and crispy, packed with flavor. The Moroccan cigars were a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I trusted the recommendation given by the cashier and happy we gave it a try.“

“#itsconversational thank you for letting us seek and find. #itsconversationalmovement #itsconversational_hopshill #werepresent“

“My friend and I were looking for a cool place for Happy Hour, we came across Crown Alley and we were not disappointed! Lively atmosphere, tasty drinks and delicious food! The home made potato chips and sour cream were really good as was the delicious kale salad with salmon. All that was topped by our server, Kendra. She was delightful, courteous and personable, a real gem. We'll definitely be back!“

“OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS RESTAURANT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT! I MEAN EVERYTHING!! COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO'S OCD. JUST WOW, THE FOOD & COCKTAILS ARE SO GOOD YUMMY! THE SERVICE IS AMAZING, THE PRESENTATION & AMBIANCE.
EVEN THE BATHROOM NO KIDDING THE BEST BATHROOM IN NYC AS FAR AS BARS & RESTAURANT. YOU MUST EXPERIENCE ALL FOR YOURSELF. I CANT WAIT TO RETURN. HAPPY HOUR IS A MUST! CHEERS & BON APPETIT W/LOVE HANA“

“Our go to in the neighborhood for a huge selection of beer and cider. Very nice staff, and dogs are authorized and there are often a few, which makes it even better. Will there ever be a doggy beer available for the pups? I hope so for them.“

“Had a riot ‘ music was fantastic and ton of fun. Everything we wanted in a piano bar“

“Went on a whim and I’m glad I did. They have an amazing selection of German and American micro brewed beer plus some awesome happy hour prices. If you live in the area or commonly come to Greenpoint, make Torst a stop on your travels. Friendly staff and reasonable prices make this a must visit for any beer and wine aficionado in your life. You won’t regret it!“

“Stopped in Bolero Snort after a game at MetLife Stadium, it was full as expected but that didn’t slow down the staff at all! All the staff was attentive and friendly, the brewery offers some great beers from lagers to sours to stouts. Also pleased that they have a great selection of to go beers!“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“My husband and I have frequented Queue and its sister bar (Carmine St Beers in the West Village) for the last few years. We always have a great time! You’ll always find something you like, the staff is awesome, and the playlist never disappoints. A must-go for any beer lovers in NYC.“

“Gooood toooo beee there“

“This place is really special. It does what it does perfectly but without too much bravado. The interior design, the music, the beer selection, and the small plates all show evidence of genuine care & excellent taste. Even just the way they slowly shift the lighting throughout the evening is clearly well-thought-out. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and seem to really enjoy being there. Every time I go the vibes are amazing. Few places I’d rather spend an evening.“

“Albert’s was the perfect spot for our group dinner and drinks. The atmosphere struck a wonderful balance between classy and relaxed, with stylish decor and a spacious layout that made everyone feel at ease. The menu offered a great selection of unique and delicious dishes, all served hot and fresh, and they came out promptly.

The service was truly exceptional—impeccably attentive and genuinely warm. The entire staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the management was incredibly accommodating to our large party. They made our friends’ pre-wedding celebration extra special, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable night. It’s clear that Albert’s is run with great care and attention to detail.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience and can’t wait to come back with more friends. Highly recommended!“
