50 Best Pubs near Jersey City

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

“Came here with some of my friends last week and we had a great meal. We got burgers, fries and some other meats. Now all 3 of my friends that came r Allison, bob, and Matt. They all work in an office and sit at a cubical all day. They definitely appreciate me taking them for dinner. We got here and it’s definitely a dive bar atmosphere I’m not used to that but it was a fun time. My friends gave it bad at home and me taking them out for dinner gave them time to vent. Allison said that her 14 yr old son crashed her car because she didn’t give him gas money, bob said that his wife tried to strangle him with her boot laces because he forgot to put soap in the washer and the clothes stunk, and Matt said that his husband did not pleasure him in bed as he had hoped for. Then all the sudden as we were eating Allison decided it would be a lovely time to start her period. She bled all over the chair so me , Matt and bob started to laugh and bully her. The staff was very helpful to her and we ended up just leaving after we ate. We were gonna stay for some beers but we decided we wanted to go home. Definitely come check this place out it’s worth ur time !“

“This is the best bar and my favorite bar in JC. I come for the tots and stay for the drinks and the jukebox. Every time I come here is a great time. It’s a bit small and gets crowded Friday through Sunday so come a bit earlier for a seat at the bar. Very friendly atmosphere, sports and mtv vids shown. The only thing that could make this place better is showing mma fights 💜“

“I'm a simple man. I saw a burger, beer, and shot happy hour for $10 and went running. I was expecting a little burger for the price but it was a solid tasty one. An added plus is the good selection of craft beer on draft. The bartender Stefany was very welcoming and hooked me up with an unconventional old fashion that hit the spot paired with the burger.

I thought this place was just the bar but I discovered there's another room with a pool table. I'll definitely back for that and the dart board.“

“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.“

“Great spot me and my boys come often Allison and Mel are two great bartenders 💯❤️“

“Sherman is extremely nice and helpful and The service was Awesome he Mounted My 50in TV installed LED lights and hid my cable TV wires for a great price????. It was super fast! It took no longer than 30mins. I’m gonna schedule another appointment for my living room Tv when I’m ready ???“

“Service is always great. But the quality of the veggie burger has gone downhill :( They use a different type of veg patty now that isn't as tasty. And always seems to be very overcooked or undercooked to the point that it's inedible. I really hope they bring back the old ingredients because it used to be my fav dish to order!“

“The Canary, my new go-to.

I recently changed work neighborhoods, and this place instantly became my favorite. The bartenders are friendly, the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming, and late nights are full of industry folks, the kind of crowd that makes it feel like a neighborhood spot.

To top it off…the have the NFL ticket (as a Seahawks fan, that’s gold it is nearly impossible to catch a game on this side of the country, but here they’ve got me covered). Great food, great vibe…exactly what you want in a pub.

I love this place. Simple as that.“

“first trip to NYC. Stayed close by and just happened to walk in to what may be one of the best nights ever! The bar tenders were so nice! I felt like Id known them my entire life. We made new friends at the bar and spent the night singing and laughing. SO. MUCH. FUN“

“Wow if you are a geordie and in NYC you must visit this place, great atmosphere!

It is like being back in the toon on a football day.

Great day & great prices. We will return when we are next in the city :)“

“Best fries ever! The burgers use to be good... Idk if the changed management or workers but, definitely not the same as a year ago when I first came here. Vegetables are not fresh & not enough quantity. I had to ask for a good amount of veggies on my burger since the last time I went there all they gave me was a leaf of lettuce (the core!) & 3 strips of onions. Ps Spicy mayo sauce is good“

“Great neighborhood tavern in Red Hook that we stumbled across while visiting family. The staff were so friendly. The blueberry cornbread was amazing, and they turned up the volume on the TV when Jeopardy came on. Love this place.“

“My favorite neighborhood bar when I lived on the upper east side. Miss late night drinking and darts �“

“My husband & I met there 46 1/2 years ago. Got engaged there the next New Year’s Eve & we’ve been married 45 years. We always visit when we come up to Jersey. I’m here alone this time but I’m going to stop in.“

“Amazing food. Huge Portions. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I live 4 hours away. 😭“

“Best bartenders in town. Feels like home. Always a friendly welcome... the atmosphere is always positive and you always will have a smile. Plus great happy hour deals and music..:“

“My fiancée and I had to find a venue to host our engagement party in a short period of time and Mugs saved the day! Everyone on their team was super helpful and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They arranged for us to have the back room all to ourselves and even set us up with our own bartender back there, so all our guests could get drinks easily. The food from Rick and Pete's was also very tasty and our guests really enjoyed it.

Their event pricing was very reasonable and the space itself was cozy and laid back. If you're thinking of just grabbing a beer in the hood or planning a large event, I'd definitely recommend Mugs!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“Madame Mikettes was busy so we came here for post-happy hour bites. Food was great. Cocktails were great but the highlight of our night was Edina. She was so warm, so welcoming, so professional. We didn't have to wait a minute too long for service, she was able to make recommendations on food and drinks and she brought me dessert before dinner (a commitment to myself post-cancer). She handled our big group effortlessly and I would come back just to see her again. Definitely recommend this place and Edina specifically!!“

“If you’re looking for one hell of a night, this is the place to be in Hoboken. Great pints, lively crowd, and music that keeps the energy going all night long. The staff are super friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re right in the heart of Dublin. Perfect spot whether you’re out with friends or just looking to soak in the Hoboken nightlife!“

“This place is outstanding. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Food is crazy good. For a game night the energy is palpable. As a Southerner that works for a NJ company, the 101 Pub represents everything great about the area - the local feel, the strong drinks, the vocal opinions about the sports teams. Not to be missed.“

“legit and they do right by folk. best pub“

“I just recently moved back to Bay Ridge after years away. Going into Bean Post I was welcomed and felt right at home on my 1st visit. The Food is fantastic and the mixed drinks they know how to pour them in Brooklyn. They offer fantastic meals especially there Thanksgiving meals you can pick up. My girlfriend had major surgery about 2 weeks ago. It was not possible for us to cook a Thanksgiving meal. WE ordered 2 Thanksgiving meals and the portions were amazing and a value we could not find anywhere else. The Turkey Dinners we purchased and the joy we had sharing Thanksgiving together with our dinners from Bean Post made it a Wonderful Holiday. We are now looking forward to ordering Christmas dinners from Anthony and his family. They treated us well. THANK YOU!“

“O'Donnell's Pub has the best Guinness I've ever had. (And I have been to Ireland). Most places must use the wrong gases, or don't clean the beer lines and it taste almost grassy. Not a O'Donnell's. It is smooth and just fantastic.“
