Service and drinks were great! Plus music and a vibe on Thursday. Haven't had any of the bites but the food smelled really good

Good music. Nice ambiance. Drinks are overpriced for what you get. But, that's most places these days. I didn't try the food so I can't comment on that.

I love this place! Good music, Good vibes, it very chill and laid back in here if your into that. No entry fee. Great service! I don't know if it's the same Dj every time, but the Dj that was there the night I went was amazing. Throwbacks and current songs all perfectly mixed together! They even had a Christmas theme going on when I went. It's a great place with great music and drinks without all the chaos. Mixed demographic and everyone is nice and seems to get along. Will be back.

Visited Under The Boot for the first time on Friday night for some drinks. The space is really beautiful and the music was on point. My wife and I sat at the bar and ordered a couple of beers. The menu listed these beers as $8 each. The bar tender told me (yes told me - no check was given) that it was $21.67. I asked if gratuity was included and he said "yes". I really don't like when gratuity is auto included and especially when the customer is not told that it is auto included. I find it just classless. Especially on a party of two sitting at the bar. I also shouldn't have to ask if gratuity is included. I typically tip $2 a drink anyways but but hate feeling like I'm required to tip - or even worse, a tip is snuck on my check. This seems like something management could easily fix in which case I would return to the bar for drinks.

We had a great time here ! It was a great post dinner activity after the miracle on Mercer. There's a DJ that came at around 9pm and he played some great throwback hip hop and R&B mixes. We didn't order food but there is a dinner menu. We had several drinks and enjoyed them. They were also strong. The service was also great. I would come back here again in the future. P.S this place had a club vibe.

Just my opinion, the atmosphere is pretty dope, all do I think is a little bit too dark for my taste. The Dj was cool, but the sound system was not great. They need to invest in a sound guy, shoot, I will do it. The limiter kept on kicking way too often. Also, the base was not up to my standards, and I noticed the Dj fighting with the sound, I know because I also Dj.The most important part that I will have to say is that the bartender not only lost my wife credit card, but he also lost someone else credit card, and God knows how many Yesterday night, The best thing to do is, don't open up a tab...

Fun vibe underneath, but really bad dress code policy. Showed up with designer boots on and was turned down for wearing boots to a bar with the name boot in it, how ironic. The bouncer blamed it on the ludicrous manager but also hinted I can pay him off to get in. Shouldn't be turned down wearing designer boots on a Saturday night at 7:00 sorry.

Hip new spot in Jersey City, Under The Boot is a speakeasy, hidden bar and dance floor. It's a fun time for sure... lots of booze and dancing, enough said.

As a local, I visited this bar and was quite disappointed.The bar seems to have an inflated sense of self, attempting to present itself as a high-end establishment without the substance to back it up. Ultimately, it's just a ground-level bar with cocktails priced at $20
I came here this past Friday night as I saw it on IG and wanted to give it a try since I'm slicing in the Jersey area now. The place was not outwardly seen at first but I also wouldn't call it as a speakeasy as there is a clear sign of the place as I'm use to speakeasies being as hidden and unexpected as possible. Went inside and seemed to be slightly busy, getting a table was easy and service was attentive. There are drinks, small bites and even the full menu served served there besides the drinks on the full menu. The place was playing good music which was what we wanted and the drinks were delicious, I had the secret passage. We also ordered wings and wagu sliders. The wings were cooked like Texas style wings which were great and sliders tasted like regular beef sliders that weren't bad. We knew there was DJ coming and expected some hot beats but unfortunately it was repeated techno vibe music that we don't care to listen to that mych and just kept going ,that's when we knew it was time to head home. Cool chill place but we could definitely use a variety of music.

This was my second visit. The first was better. But this place is way overpriced. Enough with the $20 cocktails . They weren't that good. The service was even worse. Scantily dressed for Halloween,fine they wanna make tips, I'm not prude but was surprised these were allowed to be worn. It was basically underwear. That's not the issue, I just thinks it's unprofessional and could lead to problems. The issue was I could tell the staff didn't want to be bothered by us. It was pretty empty around 8pm on Sat. Maybe they thought we wouldn't spend much or the way we looked, and I asked for one drink to share with my gf. We were on our way to Manhattan for dinner reservations, anyway we were given 2 drinks. Just by their attitudes,I didn't even want to say anything about the incorrect order. I know an eye roll would be heard around the world. Lastly the drink was watery and the almost $50 I left there felt wasted. I just wanted to show my gf the space and man did it cost me.

I was expecting a speak easy but this is more like nice underground bar with good vibe and party like atmosphere. Nice cocktails for sure. Service is good too. Wouldn't call it speak easy as music is way way way too load to chat.
