50 Best Beer Bars near Jersey City

“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!“

“By far the best French Restaurant I have ever been to.“

“I was in a private party and everything was how we expected. Bartender excellent and service good as well! I will go back in regular basis! 👏🏻👏🏻💯“

“Been coming here a lot ever since I found out there's a bar in the lobby. Love this place- great food, drinks, atmosphere, and friendly staff. Petey has the best recommendations, drinks, and is a super cool person. One of the best service I've ever gotten! Thank you Petey!“

“Left Bank is what it is supposed to be. Nothing more and definitely nothing less. \nWe were in the mood for wings and a burger and that is exactly what we got. Added chilli cheese fries and their famous Chopped Cheese.\nEven though it was very early so there wasn't many people there the staff immediately made us feel like home. They were very friendly, attentive and efficient.\nThe quality of the food was excellent. Everything properly made, simple... perfect! They don't try to disguise anything nor make it fancier than it should be. Just a place where you can eat delicious buffalo wings and a tasty burger with all the works.\nThe chilli cheese fries were excellent too. With the right amount of jalapenos, cheese, bacon...\nIf you're around and wanna try a new place to watch a game do consider Left Bank, you won't regret it.“

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

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“Set up a surprise party Friday night and their entire staff was so helpful throughout the process. They made it seamless. All of my guests had an incredible time. Food, cocktails, vibe, everything was fantastic. A major thank you to the manager Jordan for helping me get everything arranged, our server KiKi, who handles a large party with ease, and I even met the chef who came out to say hello and was so accommodating and welcoming. They’ve made regulars out of me and my guests!“

“I always love Chambers but last night's meal was especially good. The dream summer dinner: little gem salad, eggplant parm, and the blueberry dessert. I hope to be back to repeat my exact order! Thank you to the bartender (I believe Zachary) for recommending a wine to pair with the eggplant parm.“

“New York-35th Amazing staff! Mia C was on top of everything. She was thoughtful and fast. She was excited for my son who was turning 10. So much food and make sure you get a shake.“

“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!“

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

“Great spot to enjoy several beers with friends.“

“It was our first time visiting ART and let me tell you about how amazing our hosts were! Tineal and Kazel's service was incredible because of their attention to detail. My wife definitely enjoyed her birthday drinks plus the music and ambience just set the tone for a great evening. Thank you guys!“

“Everything was incredible. Best burger, great service!“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

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

“This is why I love Manhattan. Put your phone away and walk. You never know what gems you'll uncover. For us, it was Milk and Hops. Very unassuming place. You could walk right by if you weren't paying attention. Thankfully I was. Great beers here. Fun atmosphere. Never hurts when you allow dogs inside.“

“This past weekend I hosted a luncheon to celebrate four milestone senior birthdays. We were about 20 in the rear of the outdoor area. The staff was fabulous as when I arrived we altered how things were laid out. They just went along enthusiastically and we achieved our goal The special menu prepared by the chef was delicious, flavorful and plentiful. I cannot say enough about how magnificent the event was and how from the beginning to end all they want to do is please. The attendees have not stopped expressing how “perfect “ everything was. Thank you Threes Brewing for everything and making our birthdays very memorable!!!“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“Incredible food - one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The chefs are phenomenal and very personable. I recently ate at Le Bernadin and the food at Pearl rivaled Le Bernadin’s. Highly recommended! I really can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“So excited to see this place open!“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

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

“The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a cozy and intimate setting that was perfect for a romantic evening or a special occasion. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, from the stunning décor to the carefully curated music selection.“

“Came here for my birthday two years ago and decided to come back again this year. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully explained by the staff. Every single person involved in service was warm, attentive, and really just great people. So happy to see this place is still doing well. Can’t wait to come back for the new lunch menu as well.“

“Recently stopped in to kill some time, and this turned out to be the whole highlight of my NYC trip that day! I previously have had Other Half brews before and since this was conveniently located by where I was headed I added it. I had 3 different beers, the Broccoli, Bacon and the BA Sugar cereal and all were amazing. Staff was super friendly and they had some great tunes in the background. Highly recommend!“

“We had an informal baby shower drop-in at Pinkerton recently and it was the best experience. The manager and owner were so helpful before hand - helping me figure out the menu, ordering a few non-alc wines, make sense of the space - and then were accommodating, gracious, and so responsive during the event. And the food, atmosphere, music, was perfect.“

“Honestly so overhyped. Everything was either solid or good, but nothing was outstanding or particularly worthy of note, especially given the near 1 hour wait on a random Wednesday. The mozzerella sticks are indeed the best mozzarella sticks I’ve had, but at the end of the day, they’re just mozzerella sticks. The vinegar chicken is good, baked clams are fine.“

“Truly one of the best breweries in the country, innovative, beer excellence. Not to be missed!“

“On my first night over from the UK I was welcomed as a local. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They gave me tasters to find the right beer & it was great.
I returned over several nights & had a similar welcome; even remembered me by my name.
That’s the real meaning of hospitality. Well done guys.“

“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!“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“Great place, great food!!!“

“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.“

“BEST restaurant I've EVER been to in my life. Literally had me in a choke hold. I came from Florida to visit NY around May and stumbled in with my friend. Ever since then I could never forget them 😭 the staff are so sweet too. I'm coming back Namdo, just you wait. Please open up another shop in South Florida 🙏 I'll pay top dollar for that recipe too“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Great staff and food. Spacious too!“

“Man this place is amazing. Everything from the drinks to food and especially the service.

I hosted a birthday party and everything went great. Barry is quick to reply and made the whole process so smooth. They let us bring in and helped store cake and balloons. The bartender G was so thoughtful and provided one of the best hospitality experiences I’ve had at a bar. They even played the playlist I sent them!

Lots of friends told me how great and intimate the vibe was. If you’re thinking about hosting party for an important milestone, I highly recommend Crown Alley. Just an amazing experience.“

“This place is a must-visit for a drink or a cocktail. Whether you’re in the mood to socialize or unwind, it’s the perfect spot. The bartenders are exceptional and always attentive. They make sure you’re comfortable and check on your cup regularly, which I appreciate. The prices are always reasonable, and I’ve never been overcharged for anything. I highly recommend this place and give it a 💯% rating 10/10.“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“Carmine Street Beer is the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down and actually look at what you are drinking. It is a small, family owned bottle shop and bar that has been holding down Carmine since 2013, and it still feels personal in the best way. You walk in and it is shelves on shelves of smart picks, from local NYC favorites to classic European styles, plus a tight draft lineup that changes often so there is always something new to try. 

What really seals it is the staff. They are the kind of beer nerds who are happy to meet you where you are, whether you want a familiar lager, something funky, or a let me try something weird moment. You can grab a pour, sip while you browse, and they will genuinely help you land on a bottle or can that fits your mood. The space is cozy with a small bar and a handful of seats, more of a relaxed neighborhood hang than a scene, which makes it easy to pop in solo or with a friend. 

No food, no fluff, just a seriously curated wall of beer and a vibe that says you are in good hands. If you care about variety beyond the usual hazy IPA parade, this place is a yes every time. “

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Best lemon drop martini I’ve had in a long time. Food was excellent bartenders and staff awesome.!“

“Incredible selection of craft beer. Great vibe, close to many great places to eat, the Barclay Center, Gowanus. Heated outdoor beer garden.“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“Makes you feel like your in a real Hollywood club setting nice females“

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