50 Best Pubs near Jersey City

“New to the area and wanted a beer and burger so I Yelped this place. Drove past and wasn't sure I wanted to go in as the area around was very seedy, and the tavern had no sign out front and was really run down looking. However, I decided to go in with my boyfriend. The food was awesome and the service was great!! A must try, but bring Cash, it's a cash only place. Chili and Pastrami were great too!“

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

“5 stars for the tots alone. The crunchy goodness that came to our table was the perfect amount of salt and potato. The amount of tots was wild, and they brought me and my friend closer together with a tater tot bond that will never be forgotten.“

“It reminded me of the pubs in London as soon as I walked in. You should definitely try the recession menu. There is a pool table in the back. The bartender was a friendly and chatty person. The music list was very enjoyable. A pub you should definitely visit.“

“Fox & Crow is the premiere Listening Venue in Jersey City. The music room is small, like a local jazz club from back in the day (think Coltrane or Monk at the 5 Spot), but that gives it a focused vibe and electric intimacy that you can't get anywhere else in JC at this time.“

“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 💯❤️“

“The Canary is by far the best locals bar in Crown Heights. Everyone is very friendly. Excellent food with an array of the best beer and whiskey Ireland has to offer. Best Guinness pour I have found outside of Ireland! Live music on Sundays earlier in the evening. A must see if you are in Brooklyn!“

“Atmosphere, service and food from here are all amazing. Highly recommend stopping by for a drink and a bite. I tried the burger and dumplings paired with the lemon drop martini. Everything was amazing and brought to the table relatively quickly.“

“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“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“The food was delicious…more like beyond delicious! We were a party of 6 and got seated without much wait time. There was a bit of excitement when an adjacent table caught their bread basket on fire with the candle on the table. Highly recommend for date night or a group outing!“

“Good, clean bar super close to George Washington Square …. Excellent barman and wide selection of drinks. We had buffalo wings and mozzarella bites for snacks. Wings were cooked well with a decent blue cheese dip. Would recommend stopping in if you fancy a drink.“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Very chill and relaxed atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. These folks do buybacks (a dying practice in New York City). Bartender was very nice and cordial. Love the wall decorations, very old school. We drank a lot and the tab came to about $80. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Was here for the first time after our T2T run . Service by Nicole was prompt , knowledgeable and highly professional . Appetizers were delish . We loved our first experience .

“Great local spot to grab a beer and a burger and watch a game. Made even better now that @shaingallagher has moved over from the Dark Horse which closed.“

“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.“

“Love Connie Os we are family“

“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.“

“great food! friendly staff. cool atmosphere“

“I’ve attended many birthdays and other special occasions in the main front room at Mug’s, and recently hosted a small get together on a Thursday night. The staff was super accommodating in helping me reserve a few high-top tables, especially given how last-minute my request was. The space is well laid out for gatherings of 20 to 25 people if you are looking to enjoy a bar atmosphere without having to be in a private room. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

“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.“

“Was great!! Food was delicious as usual!“

“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..:“

“overwhelmingly hospitable location, the opposite of a board meeting. a bar full of gamers, too, playing pool and darts and the cabinet machines. overheard a pool player say to another that she had been playing pool against him since she was a new drinker. cool place.“

“My crew stopped in for an early bite after work. The bacon cheddar burgers came quickly and were wonderful! Dermot, the owner, was just great. He sat and told us stories about his home in Ireland and how he got to this place. We work at the college around the corner several times a year and will definitely go back.“

“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!“
