50 Best Irish Pubs near Jersey City

“Always a great vibe here and the food is AMAZING. It beats most of the places in the area. I almost always have the short rib grilled cheese and my wife tried the salmon today. Both A1, even the broccoli was really delicious and flavorful haha. One of the waiters, Sean, also makes it a great experience. He’s always upbeat and happy to serve. Keep up the greatness guys!“

“Excellent. Loved the service and the food. My first time visiting from Florida.“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“After 10 years second trip back to New York and despite the time difference on Guinness number four at 3am. Great pub, Great Guinness, and great staff. Really busy on a Monday night. Def come here. You won’t regret it.“

“I have very fond memories here, it was like a little home from home for me while I was bi Atlantic for 6 years, working on the same block as the Pig There are lots of “Irish pubs” in the vicinity, although this is the only one that felt like a real pub in the UK rather than a novelty in New York Hopefully I will be back again one day! Thanks for great times when I was missing home 🇬🇧 xxx“

“If You’re in the area, it’s a good hangout place. It’s good to watch games and/or have a good meal. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“The Dead Poet Bar on the Upper West Side is a cozy, literary-themed spot with a great atmosphere. The dark wood, bookish quotes on the walls, and dim lighting create an inviting space perfect for casual drinks. Their cocktail menu, especially the namesake "Dead Poet" with Jameson and ginger ale, is creative and affordable for Manhattan.

Though small and often crowded, especially on weekends, the laid-back vibe and friendly bartenders make it worth a visit. Whether you're a literary fan or just looking for a great neighborhood bar, The Dead Poet is a gem you'll want to return to.“

“Excellent food great service! Owner hands on“

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

“Generally I only come here for brunch, the food measures between fine to good. The full English breakfast slaps. The service is chill yet superb. Dog friendly! and a great spot to escape the annoying crowd of social media colonizers. Probably my favorite sports bar yet I don’t follow sports.“

“Being in a train station (and a very busy train station) one would not expect a great bar experience - well atleast I wasn’t but I was wrong. A colleague and I were in NYC for a board meeting, and it wrapped up early. She said let’s stop at Irish Exit for a drink and well we did. Once you walk out the “station”, it’s like walking into a true Irish bar (albeit busier). Amazing selection of beer, wine and the hard stuff. Good service, free Wi-Fi and most things can be done via QR code. Will definitely visit next time I’m at Penn.“

“Ordered the scones off idea HONY in 2021…waited almost year for the scones to arrive in Texas…forgotten about the scones-was happy to gift the $$$ to help in their life journey. Absolutely delicious!! Now it is 2024 & scones have been reordered! Best $$ ever spent❤️“

“This is an absolute gem of a place. Great venue for watching sport, especially Arsenal. Staff are absolutely amazing, so friendly and efficient. Highly recommend visiting here.“

“Looking for an old-school midtown Manhattan bar with martinis, beer, and friendly staff? P.J. Carney’s Pub is the real deal. I’ve stopped in wearing professional clothes after client meetings and also in dance gear after class… either way, it’s relaxed and welcoming. So few bars in Midtown feel this easy. The wings are great, the drinks are strong, and the vibe is no-nonsense. In a city full of overpriced hype, this hidden gem near the N/W subway line stands out as one of the best neighborhood bars in Manhattan.“

“I was at Wicked Monk for a party and the accommodations were very nice.
Cool atmosphere, nice decor, clean and the food was very good. Decent drink selection and the valet parking was slow but if I didn’t need to drive I would go back.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and enough space for your bags

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“I was in the city this weekend for a conference and happened to drop into Playwright Irish Pub on 35th street on Friday night. Conor and the Playwright team were all outstanding hosts. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Had such a great time I returned again Saturday night. Thank you for being such great hosts and making a guy from out west feel at home in the city. Cheers!“

“Old School NYC Irish Pub. Great Place to grab a Guinness. Bartenders are welcoming and friendly. Happy Hour will score you your Vitamin G for $8. History decorates the walls, and they did a wonderful job decorating for the Holidays. The music is always good! Will return!“

“Had a wonderful pre-theater dinner here last night. The restaurant has a very cool, comfortable vibe. Our waiter Liam provided exceptional, attentive service. And the food - can't say enough about the shepherds pie. Savory and satisfying, especially on one of the first brisk fall days in the city. We will be back and you should try it too!“

“Great experience!!! I been here a year or so and never forgot the great service I received before from Niall! Walked in today and there he was in a great mood even tho his football team didn't make the playoffs (Seahawks) like my squad the damn Giants! But great and convenient spot to check out. A pool table is available too; that's what got me before. Glad I stopped through and my Irish brother was there! I don't think they serve food here but the atmosphere is great and chill.“

“Had the opened-faced hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes, smothered in gravy. It was delicious. The beef was tastey and so tender, like my grandma used to make.“

“Great place for a quick bite after climbing.

It's your usual bar food, quite big portions. Free popcorn, and sometimes sour gummy.

Had the chicken cutlet burger. Slightly overcooked but still juicy and delicious.

The bartender is super friendly and helpful.“

“Great place to watch sports and excellent bar wings and burgers“

“Let's go people ! it's been open for months now, time to come home to a good pint of Guinness or Narangansett and some Pork Tenderloin with mash. G&T with bangers and mash... Just come and see Moira !“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“Io e la mia compagna abbiamo visitato New York come turisti per una settimana, abitando a Guttenberg poco distante da questo pub. Qui ci siamo trovati a nostro agio, e accolti nonostante arrivassimo dall'Italia e il mio inglese sia abbastanza scarso. Un saluto a Tiffany, che abbiamo incrociato un paio di volte e ci ha anche offerto da bere. Sei la migliore!!“

“Had the most incredible experience with James and his team. We wanted to have a going away party and after reaching out to numerous places with hefty minimums we decided to stop by and ask James if we could host it at Phil Hughes. He was super accommodating and reserved a whole area for us. He was attentive all night and made sure everyone was taken care of. We love this bar and highly recommend them for either hosting an event as well as just enjoying a good Guinness while watching a sports game. Lovely atmosphere and vibe too!“

“It was late on a Friday night when I came here. At this point it goes from a simple bar into more of a dance hall. The place was a bit crowded but I found a small corner to get some beers and hang out. It's fairly close to the subway station.“

“I love the atmosphere at Parnell’s. It is warm and inviting. The menu is extensive and the service is fabulous!“

“This place offers both tasty food and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers excellent choices. Employees delivered excellence without variation. The atmosphere feels right, the space is tidy, and the style is basic. This restaurant matches what reviewers claim.“

“After reading several reviews about this place, I decided to stop in for brunch. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the bartender/server Micah, and I was seated immediately. Even though the place is small, it has a real charm to it.

I ordered the cheeseburger, and it was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The fries were good, too, but a bit on the crispy side. The bartender makes a really good Bloody Mary as well to accompany my meal.

They have a good food (brunch) and drinks menu and everything is priced reasonably. Since the weather is still warm, they also have seating outside.

Overall, this restaurant is such a nice little addition to the Windsor Terrace neighborhood, and I look forward to dining here again in the future.“

“What a Great Bar. Every time I go there I have an awesome time. The place is always clean, great music and the staff is friendly. The Best Irish Bar in N.J.🍀🍀🍀“

“Great place to go for a night out! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming! The bands are great! The owners are great people! Would definitely recommend to anyone! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great local Irish bar. I was staying a week at a nearby hotel and this place had the exact Irish bar feel I needed. I instantly felt like a regular they were glad to see, coming and going. Proper for an Irish place. Good pours on the beers. I was here for the first 2016 Presidential Debates and there was a lot of opinions, but in true NYC style, nobody got bent, no matter how much of a (&%$g idiot the other person was.“

“Great staff, Great service, Great prices, always friendly and the security is always on point to make sure you are safe and comfortable.“

“My favorite local spot! They don't make them like this anymore! The bartenders are attentive and friendly, the drinks are cheap, and they have a pool table and dart board. Love that I can play whatever music I want with the internet jukebox.
The atmosphere is quintessentially Irish – cozy, unpretentious, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy good company. Whether you’re there for a quick drink or a long night, we always have a great time.
Support small business and give them a try!“

“Good neighborhood spot. What else do you need. 😃“

“Great pub, lively atmosphere & amazing band (evening before St Patrick's Day), Pub is deceptively huge.Nil points for food as the kitchen was closed, which was fair enough considering it was St Patrick's weekend, I enjoyed a liquid dinner of the finest Guinness.Highly recommend and I can't wait to come back.“
