50 Best Irish Pubs near Jersey City

“One of the chillest spots in Jersey City.
I’ve stopped by Grace O’Malley’s a couple times while staying overnight in the area, and it’s hands down one of the best bars around. Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders, and a solid crowd. The Old Fashioned was spot on. Right in the heart of the party district, but feels more relaxed than some of the louder spots nearby. If I’m back in Jersey City, I’ll definitely return.“

“Local with a bigger feel. Great service and a perfect place to just chill and hang.“

“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 👏“

“Excellent food great service! Owner hands on“

“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.“

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

“Personal a big fan of any literary bars, even if they don't have any books. This place is definitely a charming Irish pub, with both bar and table service. Will say that if you are ready for your drink and at a table its easier to order if at the bar and they'll bring it over. Love all the clever names they have for drinks / cocktails and fairly priced for NYC. I found the 500 Guinness wall cute. Also, always a big fan when they have the digital jukeboxes to play the tunes you want to hear. I got the cider they have on tap and the signature drink. Both very good and now I also have a new glass bottle.“

“This place throws rocks at other bars. Get a Margret in Mexico or four while you wait for your train, you ain’t gonna regret it. We loved being able to hang here while we waited for the not-so-bullet train to take us back to the city of brotherly shove. Loved it.“

“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.“

“Top notch service/experience“

“If you’re looking for the perfect local New York bar, this is it. Clean with a relaxed atmosphere and a nice selection of local beers on tap. I even got to meet owner Maggie and we had a nice chat about New York City.“

“Great bar, great food. Love the owner! He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. So festive for Christmas.“

“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“

“Took a min to get a drink but that's because the place was packed but a bartender walked past me but didn't stop at me and went to someone else. I had to wait for another bartender but once I got a drink, it was a good drink. The atmosphere is very lively and active. Good conversation with people and live music. Definitely going back soon!“

“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.“

“Love this place! Very much a local Irish joint. Nice loud music and great service with a smile. Reasonably priced, young, fun-loving crowd. Visit if you're in the area. Open till the early hours of the morning at the weekends from what i understand.“

“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.“

“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 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 !“

“First time at Mulligans. Great atmosphere and enjoying the Guineas. YNWA“

“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.“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“Great service and great hospitality- Dolores was super“

“What a GREAT BAR! Has a definite “Cheers” feel. Just what any true New Yorker needs, or anyone for that matter! Love this place. Will be back and do recommend. AND EVERYONE HAD A GUINNESS. Now you know that’s a great sign. Proper Guinness house! :)“

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

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

“I enjoyed the entire experience from first bite to last. Everything meets a high bar. Restaurant staff provide excellent service while understanding their menu. The restaurant suits both casual meals and single diners. I want them to expand their customer base.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Nice atmosphere and the lady behind the bar was super friendly! Beer was great too, think we'll be back again before we leave 10/10“
