5 Best Bars near Kearny

“If you’re lucky enough to get Cali as your waiter at Hook & Reel, consider it your lucky day. We came in to celebrate a family member’s birthday, expecting good seafood and a fun time, but Cali made the experience amazing.

From the moment we sat down, he was incredibly attentive, making sure our drinks never ran dry and that we had everything we needed (including extra napkins—because, let’s be real, seafood boils get messy). But what truly set him apart was his personality. Not only did he provide top-tier service, but he also had us cracking up with his stories. Seriously, someone get this man a talk show!

Cali made us feel like VIPs, and by the end of the night, we weren’t just celebrating a birthday—we were celebrating the fact that we had the best waiter in town. If you go to Hook & Reel, do yourself a favor and ask for Cali. You’ll leave full, happy, and with a few great stories to tell!“

“Good mix of craft beers…excellent bartenders and sports bar.“

“Only place to be for football (soccer). Atmosphere on match days is electric! Highly recommend for those into the game and looking for a great atmosphere. Good place to have a party as well. My 30th birthday party was there and it was blast!“

“A place where friends meet. No need to dress up good bartenders drink prices are good and customers are taken care of. Sunday games on the teliy and usually they put out food! Enjoy hope to see you there!“

“Great place to see bands! Been to a few @StompOut and @Poorman shows there and had a blast. As someone who's disabled it's great that they have a table to the side of the stage so someone like me doesn't have to try to see through the crowd to watch the bands.
Staff is friendly and overall, Jimmy's is a solid venue, small enough to be intimate, big enough to accommodate a crowd. I'm a fan.“
