45 Best Craft Breweries near Jersey City

“A selection of 17 CBs on tap, including gluten-free options. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $7 to $8. A flight of four for $15, served uniquely on a small roller coaster! The brewing tanks are fine. And don't miss indulgent Stout, boasting a rich flavor with a 13% alcohol content.“

“This was our first time here, we were in Jersey City and Googled some breweries and this place popped up so we decided to try it. They have parking on the facilities. Once inside they have some tables and benches. They had an array of beer to choose from, we ordered a flight and the beer was good. I would definitely recommend.“

“For a micro brewery, they sure do have varieties. For those of who are sick of the IPA revolution, we have options! But don't worry if you love IPAs, they have those too. Best dogs. Best trivia. Best rotation of food vendors. Favorite brewery in NYC“

“Being possessed of a very childlike palate that only enjoys extremely sweet and soda/juice/candy-type beverages, I used to hate beer and had never had one In even remotely enjoyed. However, trying some of Evil Twin's sours, I'm definitely a beer convert (well, Evil Twin's sours and similarly sweet beers, at least).“

“An impressive selection of CBs ranging from refreshing flagship pilsners and lagers at approx. 5% alc. content, to bold IPAs with around 7% ABV, and even indulgent rich barrel-aged stouts boasting 10-13% ABV. The staff is efficient and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience. One tip: if you plan on ordering food, it's advisable to do so nearer to the entrance before proceeding to the counter beer seats to avoid missing out on the opportunity to pay with your credit card!“

“This is everything you want in a local brewery. Open, chill interior; beertenders who are friendly and know what they’re pouring; beer, cocktails, snacks, and nonalcoholic options aplenty. *AND* it’s queer, woman, and veteran owned.Also, the Fan Fan Tart Disco deserves to be in a museum. It’s that good.“

“Other Half is located a block from the apartment building I live on. Ever since I moved here nearly three years ago and tried one of their IPA’s, I haven’t been able to drink beers from other breweries.This might seem like an exaggerated statement, but it is true. Their beers are at a completely different league than anything I’ve ever tried. World class.“

“Cool high ceilinged space with brewing taking place right in the middle of the floor. Great selection of beers, small food menu, but everything I had was superb. Service was attentive and friendly. I’ve been road tripping and visiting a LOT of breweries but their Almost Famous NEIPA is the best beer I’ve had this trip.“

“Amazing spot in the East Village! Awesome vibes, incredibly friendly staff, and good beer and drinks. Luke was a great bartender who gave us recommendations and made us feel at home at the bar. They’re also a Bills Backer bar, so I’ll definitely be coming here during football season! #GOBILLS“

“First time visiting Brooklyn and this place was our first op. A Cool vibe. Got margherita pizza and pretzel here. Variety of beers to chose from. I chose the nitro oat stout since it was a cold day in Brooklyn. Great service- waitress was very attentive and the food came out very fast.“

“Have been coming to the tap room since 2020, and drinking Bolero Snort Beer since 2018. OVB was one of the first beers I had from them, and I couldn’t be more elated when they opened up a tap room-finally! John, Montana, Jose, Jay and the rest of the crew are the best and never disappoint. This is me and my bf’s home brewery and for good reason. We always look forward to our visits and what new beer creations they have on tap for us to try- we always walk out with a new favorite. We are always looking forward to our next visit!PS we always leave each visit with a haul of beer to take home ?“

“This is a real Irish bar. Not in the sense of taped up paper leprechauns or a tinsel HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY banner, but rather campaign photos of John and Robert Kennedy, as well as other candidates for office going back more than 100 years. It's one of the oldest bars in New York City, and decorated with historical markers, play tickets, political posters and buttons, as well as a painting of a naked lady! Your choices for drinks are light ale or dark ale. They make good sandwiches, too.“

“rustic factory turned into brewery. definitely had strong Brooklyn vibes with the babies and dogs running around. Great selection of drinks and also has a nice library in the back to purchase books. also heard there are pop-up food trucks in the summer. 10 out of 10 definitely would come back“

“Great place to have a few beers and try the brewery’s extensive range. We did a flight (4 small beers). Pulp Art Hazy IPA my favourite. The chips & salsa are so tasty too. Guy at the bar really friendly and let us try a load of samples before we bought“

“Super chill atmosphere and people. Dogs are welcome, probably my favorite part:) Games for kids so the whole family can have a good time. Located in a nice part of Newark in a beautiful historical building, cool industrial design inside. Music, art, beer!“

“This is such a casual cool spot to chill, hang out, have a drink, and you are free to bring take-out food here from somewhere else. They have board games, card games, and so much outdoor and indoor space. The price is awesome and has a little something for everyone! I highly recommend.“

“First time visiting... solid beers! Apex Predator is an excellent neipa! Also had the Ravendark, an export stout...exceptional! Staff were very friendly! And if someone in your party doesn't like beer, there's a distiller next door (Silk City)!“

“sometimes a smash burger & a flight will turn your entire day around. Make sure to order a double to maximize the crispy edges. Sitting outside in a nice afternoon also elevated our experience. We tried a couple of different styles of beer & genuinely enjoyed all of them in our flight.“

“Wish they had more of a beer selection, especially with all the breweries in the area, but the atmosphere here is totally unique and worth it. The donuts were to die for, especially for only $4, and 5 flight glasses for $18 is also a great deal. Interesting space in the back for music meetups, we really enjoyed it. Thanks!“

“Such an amazing and welcoming atmosphere. The owners were such laid back chill people. They educated us on how they make their kombucha. Definitely made with passion. A must try! We left with kombucha to stock our fridge. Also they now are offering food and it was to die for. The pickled string beans and preserved lemons they used to cook our food with had flavor bombs of greatness. Cheers to Saleena and Lawrence!“

“Honestly if you like ipa's this place is bomb!!! We're from another state but if we're back in the area we will definitely stop by again. Only down fall is no food other than pretzels from a local place that are unfortunately no good. But the beer is fantastic and service was great! A five otherwise“

“食物好吃！2024/March editFood is amazing as always, and the staffs are super friendly and makes you relax at the moment you step into the space.Really appreciate to have a place like this in the neighborhood, thank you!Recommend chicken slaw for all the Asian stomachs, we order it every time when they serve foods (Thursday to Sunday)“

“It feels like the area has become saturated with high alcohol hazy IPAs, which I do enjoy, but this place offers more variety for the everyday beer lover. Very friendly staff, lots of indoor and outdoor space and if you catch it on the right day, you get an awesome collaboration with some of the cities most underrated food trucks and tasty bites. Great way to spend some time. Just wish there was more regular TV viewing for sports, but that's just my bias.“

“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“

“I normally visit at least once a week every week religiously and when I do I order my favorite hazy ipa the Piff. Also I would like to add that I am always lucky to get greeted and served by JAMES :) he is very attentive and most of all amazing.“

“After trying to take the train, then using our GPS, we finally said Uncle and called an Uber. So glad we stuck with it. This Nano Brewery is definitely off the beaten path but what a spectacular find! Loved the Ginger IPA and the Lychee Red brews. Being a craft beer lover from MN, we were extremely happy to find this place. I’d highly recommend their beers. Next time I’m in NY or you are in NY, you gotta go the extra mile and find this place. Great beers await you!!“

“Stopped by to watch a football game. Now, I have no idea what goes on in the world of football but I loved the vibe of this bar. There are also cozy couches in the middle with the perfect view of the game. My friend and I enjoyed their wide selection of beers, and also their huge chicken sandwich. Fries were insanely good.“

“Mike the bartender's the best!! He chatted with us on all manner of topic, from Staten Island tourism, Staten Island history, current politics - smart funny guy. We live in Portland Oregon, where there's lots of good beer & this place's beer was excellent - and they were playing damn fine music the whole time we there.“

“Got the pork bowl and esquites. Pork bowl was a good portion and was warm. Pork was tender and well seasoned. Ordering was a bit tricky because you have to use QR codes and reception in the mall is trash. Once I got on the Hudson Yard wifi it was fine. The Hudson Yard wifi will ask for your email so use 10minutemail and a VPN to avoid getting spammed.“

“I came here because I was visiting my friends that live in NY... Other Half is like a pilgrimage for me. So looking forward to it! The beers were insane... Of course. The staff however were completely miserable and (skanked a tonne of cash out of me) and really soured the experience for me. This was on the 15/03/24.“

“Amazing sour beers and a fun vibe! There’s indoor seating, the bar, and picnic tables outside as well. At some point they were going to open the roof but I wasn’t able to see if they ever did. Great drinks and pop up foods on the weekends“

“Great place to go with friends, get some drinks and play games (They had cornhole) Drinks are a reasonable price and are really good. There was an event happening when we came by, but it never felt super crowded with how much space there was.“

“My partner and I visited two weeks ago and had a phenomenal experience!Carolina was a server and was super knowledgeable about the sake and friendly. She and Kyle were very thorough about answering all our questions about the process of brewing sake (and shochu!) and how Kura develops their food and beverage menu. It was a fairly quiet day, so they (and Joanne!) really took their time making us feel at home.It was St. Patrick's Day and Kyle made some cute experimental shots with greenery from the local market to share with us.The presentation of everything in this bar was cute! We loved the use of scientific beakers as decanters. We had a flight of everything on tap, as well as some cocktails and the pickled fruit and veg platter. The pickled strawberries in particular were delightful and a nice compliment to the sake.My recommendations: Sunset (sake) and Kakariko (cocktail).Will definitely be back next time we are in New York! It's tragic they don't have a Boston outpost, but I'm glad some of their sake is available locally... and we got some bottles to take home.Thank you everyone so much for the great time!“

“If you like IPAs, this place is not for you. They're low abv. However, the spot is very cozy and chill. What I did appreciate is that they have some food options, and I can imagine taking some of my friends who prefer lagers or pilsner here. This just wouldn't be my first place to drink.“

“They make great beers, they do all over the board in terms of beers. They specialize in IPA but do all sorts of beer. Very industrial setting. A handful of tables but lots of standing area. It was pretty quiet on the Saturday night we were there and chatted with the brewer. Oh and they have board and card games.Fun chill low key vibe in an industrial setting.“

“Great space to gather with friends and have delicious drinks and anju. The menu was limited but the dishes were excellent and quite fulfilling. They exceeded my expectations! We ordered pajeon (scallion/chive pancake), kimchi arancini (must order), and steamed tofu with an extra side of kimchi which I highly recommend. A friend ordered the banana milk cocktail which was nice and strong and I ordered the health is wealth mocktail which has all my fave ingredients—well-balanced and unique flavors. Service was friendly and the space is bright and inviting. Will definitely return to try makgeolli flights and other dishes!“

“NJBC has been in the craft brewing industry since 2010 and, over their long existence, have created some of our favorite NJ beers. While they have always excelled in the IPA lines ranging from traditional to hazies and milkshakes, I think the stout and porter lineups are even stronger offerings. As a fan of strong, dark, and generally more complex beers, NJBC really hit a home run with their "Cups of Peanut Butter and Chocolate" porter. But you won't go wrong with anything on the board.One of, if not the most popular beers they make is the "Blood Orange LBIPA." This would be your must try beer if you've never experienced it.“

“Was waiting in line at Hometown BBQ, but that line was moving about the pace of a handicapped snail, so we were like screw it let's get some beers. We were served pretty quickly so before you know it I'd tried like 3 different beers (first one was the Golden - great lager) and was feeling pretty tipsy. Ended up ordering a smash burger too which was absolutely delightful and very juicy. Staff are pretty friendly and the outdoor seating is very pleasant.“

“Talea has friendly staff, large spaces for seating indoors and out, and a well-versed menu, plus scheduled programming throughout the week. I went to check them out after seeing them listed on the Seated app, and I was glad to discover this brewery. I really enjoyed my two Park Pilsners and look forward to trying more of Talea's offerings on my next visits. Excited to make this a regular hang spot among friends this summer.“

“Loved this ? in Greenpoint. It has a nice beer selection. The space is big but my favorite part was the rooftop with the multicolored tower. The roof seating is comfortable. It has picnic tables and some tables with high top chairs. The vibe is laid back. I will definitely revisit.“

“Real good neighborhood brewery. When it’s nice weather, they have pop-up taco on the side. Also good place to grab a to-go cup, and listen to some nice live music across the street. Has indoor area too, but outside with nice weather is where you want to sit“

“The LIC-born brewery, best known for its farmhouse ales and saisons, has a new location. The larger area has a dedicated tasting area. 14 beers available in 8- and 14-ounce cups on tap. A hefty pour costs, on average, $7. A few bottles and cans are available for takeout. There are lots of seats at the larger communal tables and at the bar. Don't forget to greet the brewery dog.“

“Amazing brewery on Staten Island. Worth the ferry ride and walk from Manhattan. They have multiple styles of beer easily suiting everyone's preferences in a larger party. The staff is very knowledgeable of all their beers. A big location with both inside and outside seating.“

“This placed looked nice and the night we picked was a Friday. The music was pumping! A great selection was in rotation by the DJ.I really wanted to hit happy hour but we got in very late. The atmosphere is very nice and had a very eclectic crowd. The bar was filled.We ordered a few drinks! Which was just OK! Also grabbed some food that was also just OK! The music and friendly staff made up for it all! It had a lounge type of vibe to me.I will return though to try the happy hour and Pizza!“
