This place was a local legend, then was bought and retooled into just another cocktail bar. Don't bother.

Good outdoor spot with lots of fish and veggie options. The outdoor seating is the main attraction. The large outdoor space is 30% covered by seating so there is room for children to run around, and that explains why there were so many families with children (at least until ~9pm on a Friday evening). The Cajun Shrimp and Guacamole was insufficiently seasoned and the Fried Shrimp was overcooked. The Shrimp Skewers, Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer and drinks were good.

A fun outdoor dog friendly space with a bar and pickle ball court! The food is a low end quality though at a high price with premade frozen burger patties and ground beef instead of stead tacos.
Wheelchair accessibility: The space is open and level to the sidewalk.

Place is pretty good, we go there after volleyball sometimes. The outdoor bar area is great, plenty of space and drinks come pretty quick. The indoors is a bit cramped but serviceable. They have karaokes nights sometimes. Food is average.
One of favorite bars. Good service, awesome music, great vibes. What more could you ask from a bar?

We had a great time and the food was amazing. I def reccomend the nachos if they have them. The only negative thing I would say is that the DJ was suuuuuuper loud. I mean I get it, it was a good time, but when you have to scream for someone next to you to hear you… that’s a bit of a downer.

Very cool spot in downtown Jersey City. Outdoor space was a real vibe with the live DJ who played bongos to some of the songs. My wife and I will definitely be back!

Love this outdoor bar in downtown jc. On a cool summer night this place is exactly the right spot for cold beers under the lights. The bartender are friendly and the atmosphere is super laid back. Def coming back for more !

It wasn't what it was, the bar inside needs attention and other things.
Thanks for the memories. We'll miss you, dearly.
