50 Best Pubs near Jersey City

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

“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.“

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

“Best dive bar in Jersey City! They have so many good deals on drinks and their wings are delicious, I love ordering them with sauce on the side. They also have pickle backs. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cheap drink and fun atmosphere.“

“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“

“You have to try the Korean Fried Broccoli OMG! I’m a stickler for steak so I usually have the Steak and fried egg. If you like it rare like me just ask for it black n blue.“

Just everything was incredible! I would totally recommend to visit if you are a football fan especially a Newcastle United fan.“

“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.“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

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

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“I've been going to Lee's since I was a very little girl for pizza with my Dad and Mom. 65+ years later, I have taken my husband, my children, and my grandchildren. The pizza is still outstanding and it's still a friendly, neighborhood place!“

“great food, great staff not to be missed“

“Honestly can’t wait to come back when I’m in town and try their other items on their menu. I had the buffalo chicken wontons—8/10. Then their Philly cheesesteak—9/10 (bread was sooo perfect. Crispy yet soft?! Wasn’t expecting that. I asked for mayo but it didn’t really need it. Theirs is way better than Mama’s Too (super viral for their Philly cheese)). Fries?!—10/10. Their condiments—blue cheese and ranch that I tried—really good too 8.5/10. But my waitress is what makes me give 5 stars on everything. Please ask for Deena when you come in. She is so sweet, attentive, and anytime I asked for something she came back quickly attending to my needs. When I come back I too will be asking for Deena. Thanks Malt House for a good evening (that didn’t break my bank too much either!)“

“Great vibes, offers brunch deals on weekends, food quality can be better and improved as egg Benedict comes without ham and bread! Crispy chicken sandwich and French toast were amazing. Prompt and friendly service, have outside seating, though a little congested but manageable. Serves choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.“

“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, service and outdoor space! Highly recommend!“

“The York offers a sleek, upscale vibe with a menu that feels modern and well-executed. The dishes are flavorful and nicely presented, striking a balance between comfort and refinement. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere works well for both date nights and small gatherings. A polished spot that delivers a consistently enjoyable experience.“

“Such a cool and amazing vibe. Me and my friends came here during HOPE and had such a good time. Melissa our bartender was amazing too!! She was hilarious and fun, and also helped take care of our friend who was not feeling too great. Ty melissa!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Harmony our waitress was awesome, this place has the feel like you are in your home town.“

“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..:“

“Great food and a really welcoming atmosphere! Cory was super friendly and the burgers (including my veggie burger!) and fries were some of tbe best we've ever had! I was traveling with my high school age kid and his friends and Cory made us all feel welcome which I really appreciated! Highly recommend!“

“Great service, food, ambiance.“

“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“

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

“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 spot for watching World Cup , sat on curbside and watch the game beer selections is great same as the food but the best part is services Hunter is so kind and took a good care of us . If you want to hang out in Bedford this is the spot get the outside seat and watch the game with millions dollars views .“

“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.“

“Don’t think twice …go checkout this local gem! Not fancy, but warm, cozy, oh so friendly staff and amazingly affordable. Our bartender/server KP was a rare find.“

“Always a great time with Tabby, Ngozi, Nat and my karaoke crew!“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“This place rocks … Blake and Jack know how to make a nice inviting bar ! They’ve done it for years“

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

“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.“

“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“
