50 Best Pubs near Jersey City

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

“The sexiest dove bar. Found this place thru the comedy circuit and have been coming for years now. Absolutely love love love the food. Them Carolina gold wings are wildly addictive. The staff is super dope (awesome). The banter is bar none. Great place Great atmosphere. Go enjoy yourself, Shae said so.“

“Best Corned Beef Sandwich in the State and and awesome burgers as well!“

“I stopped by McGinley Square Pub and really enjoyed the laid-back neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of place where locals come to relax, grab a drink, and catch up with friends. The food was classic pub fare — simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming and casual. Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood bar if you’re looking for a chill spot to hang out.“

“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 💯❤️“

“Excellent burgers“

“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!“

“Amazing food!! Great service“

“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“

“I absolutely loved this place! As a Geordie, I thought this would be a good place to watch the qarabag match and I was shocked at how amazing it is! The atmosphere, the decoration.

“Me and my family love Cassidy’s. We go to NY every year for Christmas. This year we had a group of 23 and Seamus was able to accommodate us with a reservation. Our waiter was Joe C. ,who was great. It’s not easy waiting on a large group of people, but he was super patient and kind.“

“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.“

“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.“

“TL;DR: Mulligan’s is a top-tier soccer bar with professional staff, solid bar food, a pool table, and a strong selection of local and imported beers on tap.

Mulligan’s Pub is widely considered the premier destination in New Jersey for watching soccer. The establishment consistently opens early for Premier League kickoffs and maintains a dedicated environment for fans of various international leagues. The atmosphere is consistently high-energy without being overbearing, making it a reliable spot for both major tournaments and weekly league fixtures.

The service is efficient and the staff is professional, managing large match-day crowds with ease. Regarding the menu, the food is quality bar fare; the wings and burgers are dependable.

The layout includes a pool table in the back and dart boards, providing activity beyond the screens. Their draft list is well-balanced, featuring some local craft beers alongside standard European imports like Guinness. It is a straightforward, well-run Irish pub that prioritizes the viewing experience for supporters.“

“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.“

“Great place! Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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.“
