Venues in Hoboken, New Jersey

We recently planned a surprise party for our friends and this was the perfect venue! The team made planning easy and it was a great night! The drinks are delicious and well priced and the bartenders help make the night even more fun. 10/10 would recommend for your next event or just a great spot to hang in Hoboken!! It’s become our new favorite spot :)

Schmitty’s is hands down one of the best bars in Hoboken —especially if you’re looking for a great spot to catch a game! The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and the TVs are perfectly placed so you never miss a play. Their outdoor area is a total gem—spacious, laid-back, and perfect for enjoying a drink in the fresh air. Best of all? It’s dog friendly! There’s nothing better than relaxing with a cold beer, good friends, and your pup by your side. Whether you’re a sports fan or just looking for a chill hangout, Schmitty’s nails it every time. Highly recommend

About the Sports Bar: This sports bar provides a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff, making it an enjoyable spot to catch English Premier League watch parties. About the Experience: During our visit, we noticed that the bar was a bit empty in the early morning, likely due to its opening specifically for game day events. However, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming nonetheless. Opting for a hot toddy to start the day, we found the combination of hot water, whiskey, sugar syrup, lemon, and cloves to be a comforting and satisfying choice. It provided the perfect warmth on a chilly morning while adding a touch of excitement to the game-watching experience. In summary, despite the initial quietness, this sports bar offers a pleasant setting with attentive staff and enjoyable beverages, making it a worthwhile destination for English Premier League watch parties. It earns a solid four-star rating for its overall atmosphere and service.

Best wings in Hoboken! Hot wings are like a 6/10 spice level, usually call in takeout but good amount of TVs with all the Sunday football games on.

Could not believe there is a small town bar in the middle of Hoboken. Loved everything about it, from the bartender Daniel, who was not only professional, but friendly and fun to chat with, to the juke box you can play your music. I loved that it was very quiet in the middle of the week, and you could interact comfortably with other peole

Honestly one of my favorite spots in Hoboken. Great little dive bar. Clientele seems to be a mix of regulars and new faces. They have touchtunes so there’s a fun mix of music. The bartender Ben is awesome, he’s a super friendly guy. Cheap drinks, you really can’t beat it. Cash only, but they do have an ATM.

Great selection of beers and ciders. The owner is super friendly and sociable.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I drove over an hour (twice) to pick up my credit card from this place. The first time, their website clearly stated they were open until 2am, yet when I arrived, no one answered the door or phone. I could hear loud music inside but they simply ignored me. I had an international trip the next morning, and after no one answered the phone I emailed them and no answer. I followed up with multiple calls and emails over the next month, trying to arrange a proper pickup. When I finally stopped by again in person, they casually informed me they had thrown my credit card away. No apology, no accountability, nothing. This is the definition of unprofessional. A business that can’t manage basic customer service, doesn’t honor its posted hours, ignores communication, and throws away a customer’s personal property should not be trusted. Save yourself the time, frustration, and risk and go literally anywhere else.

I would any day go to Mulligan’s for a great soccer game. Always packed with people, amazing atmosphere. If you don’t just watch a game but CELEBRATE IT. This is the place for that.

Brilliant pub with very friendly bartenders. Highly recommend going for a match or pre and post game drinks. Owner is a great fella.👍

The place has a fun vibe and the atmosphere was great, but it was really loud hard to hear the people at my own table. Food was alright. The starters were actually solid, but the mains were just okay. I had the veggie risotto, which was fine, nothing memorable. Also tried the fish and chips and unfortunately had a bit of an allergic reaction pretty sure they fry everything in the same oil, so heads up if you have any food allergies. Service was good though staff was nice and attentive. Overall, not a bad spot for drinks and apps with friends, but I wouldn’t go expecting amazing food or a quiet meal.

Nice and chill local bar. Liked its vibe with my friends. Wasn't too loud but still had enough crowds, so it was easy to enjoy beers together with finger foods. It was also kinda interesting that the bar had two different spaces; typical bar space and another one that was more like sit-down type of restaurant-kind space. When we asked, they let us take one table there even though we weren’t gonna order any proper food menu.

Pair 13 Hoboken is a great place to relax and enjoy the night. The music and sound system were perfect — it set such a nice vibe all evening. The setting is beautiful, with a full view of the city that makes the whole experience feel special. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and professional. A perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a nice dinner with a view. Highly recommend!

**An Unforgettable First Visit!** My first time at this spot was an absolute blast – I simply loved it! While I didn't get around to trying any food, the drinks were great and the atmosphere truly shone. The place is beautifully designed, the music was fantastic, but the best part hands down was the incredible vibe. It was so captivating, I was too busy soaking it all in to even snap photos of the pier! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to all my friends, family, and anyone reading this review. Seriously, you won't regret it!

Warning: 3 guests during the dinner was poisoned from the food—myself included. 2 of us got sick during the meal/expelled at the restaurant, last person was on the toilet in the evening!! Upon reporting it to the manager, he was very very kind and followed up with me during/after the meal. Could not confirm what caused it but think that the team did well to ensure comfort/follow-up. Ambiance (3/5): The décor is super trendy and the establishment is huge! While the place is great for bigger groups, the music way way too loud to even converse with the people sitting next to you. There’s an area near the bar to hangout and drink. It feels really cool inside. Dark and almost clubby. Service (5/5): Our server gave us good recommendations and was very attentive to our needs. Cocktails during happy hour is unbelievable $9 until 7p – I was a fan of their mango passion fruit! And they’re all pretty alcoholic! Love Food (4/5) Crispy rice and spicy tuna – my favorite of the apps! Spicy sausage flatbread – nothing to write home about Short rib bao bun – I enjoyed this! Chicken bao – I enjoyed this! Tostadas – skippable Hummus – skippable Short rib fried rice – a little too salty but otherwise good Steak sandwich – Nicely flavored

The food was extremely small portioned and overly seasoned. The selections were odd considering the Irish heritage and background of “Dear Maud”. The servers and staff were all extremely kind. But would I return? Nah. 6 tiny overcooked shrimp or 10’tiny over cooked chicken bites for a 20$ dish. Or the overly seasoned fries. Could get the same quanlity with better portions at an in and out for less money. Def aiming toward the younger hip crowd of Hoboken but falls shorts of the quality per price when so many amazing Irish and American fusion restaurants in the area.

This is so good. I saw quite a hype of this place on a tiktok and waited a while to go but I genuinely believe Antique lives up to the hype ESPECIALLY with the bread pudding. I think it was the best dessert I’ve ever had. it’s massive and the 4 of us couldn’t even finish it which i’ve never had an issue with before. Really worth checking out! Great cozy vibe and good staff.

Overall rating: 4.7 My oh my, my friends wanted to try this place being in New Jersey. Through some research I realized it was a very popular place, especially their bread pudding for lunch. I came around 12 so I didn’t really want breakfast food by the time I was ready to eat. I ordered the mussels and while they were good, I was expecting the sauce to be delicious. The green sauce was a lot thinner & tasted very healthy. Not sure why I thought it would taste more like the typical sauce. It was just okay. I also ordered the infamous bread pudding with my friends who agreed reluctantly and wow 3 people was too little. You need at least 4 people to eat that! I took a good amount to go & it filled my dessert for the whole week! It was a really nice setting but the waitress was so friendly! She was selling every piece and wasn’t pushing either. We went around 1 so I think the brunch rush was coming to an end. Everyone was so friendly and I’d definitely go again if I’m in the area. Recommend trying something else that I didn’t order.

For as long as I've known, the bartenders at LJs are always a gem. I moved to CA but came back for a visit recently for a little Hoboken in my life! I'm not sure what's going on with management but I was literally yelled at by who I later learned was the manager ... for simply asking if the juke box was on. Others seemed visibly uncomfortable by her as well, I truly can't believe a person like this would be hired, clearly an unstable kid. Really hoping they get some better personnel in there because it's always been such a solid spot!

Listen. If Nicole wasn’t the bartender I’d never come here. She is amazing, the best. One thing they need to do is upgrade the audio/video. Some problems. But to the owner , pay Nicole what she wants, she is the lifeline.

I had called ahead and made a reservation for a small party, but unfortunately, the experience on the day of our visit was quite disappointing. There was only one waiter and one bartender available, which made the service extremely slow. Used plates were left uncleared for a long time, and no one came by to take our drink orders. We eventually had to track down the bartender ourselves just to place an order. Overall, very let down by the level of service.Food was good though.

Wings were amazing, lemon pepper wings were super cruchy and we had a pineapple chile wings the sauce was the boss those too were nice and crunchy. The fried pickles were good. And so were the poppers. We also had the cheese steak and the sweet potatoe fries. Both were all gone haha. I would recommend. Great place, great atmosphere. Great sauces too. They need more business! Great service.

Little Bar is truly one of Hoboken’s best hidden gems. The cocktails are outstanding, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the overall vibe is always on point. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink before or after dinner. Ethel and the team are incredibly welcoming and consistently provide top-notch service and great recommendations. Can’t recommend this place enough — I’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you!!

The Little Bar in Hoboken is an awesome hidden gem. I came here for a cocktail-making class on a date, and it ended up being one of the most fun things we’ve ever done. The vibe is great and the team makes the experience easygoing. It’s a great spot for a unique date night or just grabbing drinks in a chill, upscale setting.

This is my boyfriend and I favorite place to have drinks and appetizers. Their martinis are decent, could use a little more olive juice every time but it's good enough. Their appetizers and raw bar are delicious, we love their Blue point oysters and the tuna tartar is to die for. I love the vibes or the bar, this place makes me zen. What else could you ask for.

Came here for my two year anniversary with my partner and we had a wonderful dinner! I had the swordfish with mashed potatoes my partner had the grits and scallops. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned amazingly. I had this delicious blackberry mocktail that worked well with my meal and finally for dessert we spill a pistachio tartufo. I highly recommend this place for a night out or a great date idea!

Henry, our bartender was absolutely wonderful and fabulous. He was attentive and we had a difficult person with us and he was absolutely amazing and made her a fabulous, delicious drink that she actually enjoyed. We were at 4 other bars before this one and Henry was the only one to deliver! Make sure you stop by and check him and the spot out!

Came here for Valentine’s Day with a reservation, thanks to my partner. And I could not stop complimenting her choice all night! This place is phenomenal. We had a few of the strawberry espresso martinis because they were just so good. We shared the Brussel sprouts, the French onion egg rolls and the calamari. Everything was delicious but the EGG ROLLS are a 10/10. We also shared the cookie lava cake and we also highly recommend that. Our server, Jess, not only gave us amazing service but GREAT recommendations. 10/10 all around!

Thank to this place our bar experience in US was not completely trash. Good vibes, and good service. Understanding on the closing tab round after round since we were different individuals that wanted to pay for our friends drinks. Huge difference for good against any other NYC bar we visited (or hospitality venue, for that matter) Thank you!

FREE POOL, FREE DARTS, FREE POPCORN AND DOGS ALLOWED INSIDE - plus great priced drinks, amazing bartenders Vinnie and Megan& friendly atmosphere all around- what else can you ask for from a pub? Ps. Some people cant handle their liquor at a Pub and than write negative reviews for being kicked out, while they are in fault for disrupting the friendly vibe.

Great experience! The glass room out front makes for a lovely atmosphere and I really appreciated the hostess noticing it was a bit warm when she seated us and offering to turn the AC up. That great service continued through the meal from the rest of the staff. Fun cocktails and a tasty cheeseboard were the perfect start to an all around great meal. The rooftop is always popular but I recommend giving the lovely dining room a chance too.

My very specific experience was a 2-hour reserved open with pizza, and while this isn't my preferred night out, the drinks were accurate and the pizza was tasty. We had a roped off area which was cool; however the speaker and DJ were also in that area. I am not a fan of yelling every word I use and that was consistent from when the party started until I had to leave because it was just too loud.. for me. Others may love that and if so, here's the place to be! Another part of the service is did not like was the open bar; it came with a menu that included different aspects of typical drinks, but no wiggle room to combine those things, are add non liquor drinks, like olive juice for example. That felt off and the person behind the bar was clearly annoyed as they bent the rule for one party guest, but not the rest of them. I likely wouldn't go back short of an event for a person I care about, however, if a loud bar that has a restaurant downstairs and tvs playing sports upstairs, this is a great place for you!

I really enjoyed the space and drinks we ordered here. The bartender’s advice was much appreciated and we had excellent drinks at the spot. The service was fast and attentive. The variety of seating options allowed for a great choice of where we wanted to be. A good spot for a date night and the Tuesday night specials were great prices! Excited for the holiday decor to come out again!

Backstage Lounge was the perfect spot for a mini wedding ceremony and reception with about 30 guests. The team was attentive and kept everything running smoothly. Nicole stood out by handling all the details with ease and maintaining clear, friendly communication. The food and drinks were solid, and the cozy vibe made the night feel special and personal. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to host a private event with excellent service.

Really wanted to try this place, read good reviews. I've walked by it a couple of times, seemed pretty nice. We decided to go in today. We walked in and no one else was around but the staff at the bar. No one bothered to look up, say hi, welcome us, nothing. My wife and I stood there for at least 2 minutes to no avail. So we walked right back out. Ended up at Moran's on Garden Street, as soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted, sat and had a wonderful dinner. With so many great places in Hoboken, don't waste your time at a place that clearly could care less about your business...

A lovely bar/pub located in Hoboken. We've been there on a Friday's evening. By 9pm there weren't many people there, but 2 hours late the place was crowded. Delicious food - the Cordon Blue Chicken was a nice surprise - and we were served by a very lovely lady. There was a local band - The Beverlees - playing there, and it was so fun! Only the sound quality could be a bit better. In any case, a great place to have some fun and good music.

Has a good atmosphere, in a great location, with tons of foot traffic! We where there during a Friday Happy Hour timeframe, crowd was good, bar was about half full, staff was friendly, but our bartender spent more time on their phone then on the customers, also they took my card to hold a tab open, but when closing out they didn't ask me if I wanted to charge it to the card or pay cash. They do have an service charge for credit card payments. Didn't order any food, but it looked good for typical bar fare.

Great place for beers and pub food. It gets packed ! There was a darts 🎯 league on our night. Also we did trivia on election night! Tons of energy! It’s a fun spot for sure. The grilled cheese and soup combo was a great deal !

So we came out tonight for some tacos on taco Tuesday and had the most amazing time. Thanks to our lovely server Briana! She gave amazing recommendations and attended to us and made sure that we had everything that we needed. Truly grateful for her service and the awesome time tonight at karaoke. I sang a couple of songs and will definitely be back again. 🫶🏼

First let’s start with service, Jordan was amazing and answered all of out questions, checked in on us frequently and was very helpful when it came to helping with and explaining the menu. For the food, worth every penny! Portion sizes are really nice and food quality is great. I think we just found a new go to spot in Hoboken. 100% would recommend

Great brunch. Terrific value for the quality of food. Order the shrimp and grits— outstanding.

Amazing food and service! Would definitely return! The bartender, Yulissa, was serving the whole place when we came, and she did an amazing job and took great care of us! She made sure we felt welcome! 🥰

My husband and I stopped in for an early date night and we really enjoyed our experience. I ordered the steak and fries, my husband had the burger. The steak was cooked perfectly. We also happened to be there for their anniversary celebration and they had a promotion for a free espresso martini to their first 100 customers, i am not normally an espresso martini drinker but it was very good. Great portions, friendly service, and the food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back.

This place is like a cozy pub, not too crowded on weekdays. They have cocktails, but they're just okay. What's really good though, are the foods! We tried their salad, buffalo chicken wings, burrata with prosciutto, and truffle fries. The wings and fries were the best, super tasty! The staff there are really friendly and nice. Plus, it's super close to the Path train and just a quick walk to the boardwalk. Great for hanging out and munching on good food!

The Lola is everything! From brunch to dinner, every dish is as beautiful as it is delicious. I went for brunch and ended up staying way longer than expected because the vibe turned into a full-on party 🎉. The cocktails are amazing and the food is next level—pancakes, steak & eggs, tacos… all 10/10. The space is gorgeous and perfect for photos, and the staff made the whole experience feel special. Definitely my new Hoboken go-to!

The Lola Cocktail Lab & Eatery is a stylish yet welcoming spot that shines with inventive cocktails and flavorful dishes that go far beyond typical bar food. The drinks are expertly balanced and creative, especially the fish bowls, while the food feels thoughtfully crafted to complement the bar program. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between lively and relaxed, making it perfect for date nights or casual gatherings and the attentive staff add to the overall experience. Enjoy the Manhattan skyline on a waterfront while sipping on drinks and having a legit meal. The Lola is a must visit for anyone who appreciates good food, great drinks, and a touch of creativity.

The Madison is a great uptown Hoboken choice for comfort classics. Cocktail menu is creative, my espresso martini was made perfectly. The menu has always been great, lots of great options across the board. I really recommend their cheeseburger selection in particular. Amazing sweet potato and truffle fries as well. My four stars for service is really aimed more at management organization, the wait staff seemed understaffed and covering lots of tables for just a few people but they were all super kind and friendly snd helpful.

I've been going The Madison for years and it is a solid restaurant and bar. I recently went on Sunday night, didn't feel like cooking at home. It was quiet, no sports on. We sat at the bar, ordered some drinks. I got a glass of Josh cabernet sauvignon and my husband got a Kane. They have a wide range of beers on draft, wines and great cocktails. I was happy to see macaroni and cheese back on the menu, it was one of the best in my opinion. But we ordered the steak bao buns to start, there were two and they were very yummy. I was sad to see the lobster roll taken off the menu but they had a lobster grilled cheese special so I ordered that. My husband got the crab cake sandwich. And we both ordered regular fries although we had the option of regular fries, sweet potato fries, salad or I think broccoli. His crab cake was big and he liked it. Mine was so so. I think the combo of lobster and cheddar just didn't work. The cheese was too overpowering. There were big hunks of lobster, yum 🦞 . I think they should stick to the original lobster roll. Why mess with perfection. Anyways got another glass of wine and called it a night. Watch out if you go during the week it does get busy and loud, many nights they have a DJ. Which I like but others in your party may not. But they do have ample outdoor seating so when it warms up it's great.

Great Spot with a View, Music, and Vibes Wicked Wolf Tavern in Hoboken is in a great location—right near the Hudson River with beautiful views, especially in the evening. The vibe inside is lively with nice music, though it does get loud and heavy at times. We actually stepped outside for a bit just to have a conversation. The indoor seating is spacious and well laid out, giving it a fun and social atmosphere. Drinks and food are slightly on the pricey side, but that’s expected for the area. Service was okay—not bad, but could definitely be more attentive, especially when it gets busy. Overall, a solid spot for a night out with friends if you're in the area and don’t mind the volume. Bonus points for the great location!

Wonderful food the price is great The service is wonderful we come here at least three times a week I had my fiance's birthday party My daughter's birthday party here The vibe is amazing always a good time The managers are great the workers are amazing I have nothing bad to say about this place come and enjoy you would not regret it

Extremely disappointed with this bar. Came here with a large group for my birthday and the bartender refused to give people their receipts. One girl was charged $77 for two drinks. After DMing the bar on instagram we came to the conclusion that she was double charged for her drinks. After asking for a refund due to the fact that her dispute was denied (because she didn’t have a receipt) the bar left me on read.

Double check how much you get charged for your drinks! Bartender claims “tabs automatically close at the end of the night” but seems like that was a way to charge me extra. Outside of that, the DJ was good and a good mix of people on a Saturday night

I had my birthday party here and it was an absolute blast! I worked with Patrick, who was fantastic, super informative, responsive, and made sure everything ran smoothly so everyone had a great time. We had the party in the back room, which was perfect for a fun, laid-back vibe. They had giant Jenga, Connect Four, pool, cornhole, and even set up beer pong for us. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the open bar was both affordable and well-stocked with quality drinks. Overall, such a great spot to celebrate! Highly recommend it for your next birthday or group event.

Came here on our bar hopping journey. Vibes are high and the music was hit’n. The drinks were great & strong and the bartender was amazing! Definitely adding this place to our bar hopping list.

This pub is quite nice. They have Guinness beer for $11 at 4 pm, which was quite unusual since the last time I visited, it was $5.

The prices are very good and the food is ok. Nice vibe inside. Just really hated ordering throught the app like it was during coronavirus. Takes out the experience of connecting with people.

This is fine to grab a quick bite and a drink but not sure if it fits a date vibe or catching up with friends. The sports and music were SOOO loud that we were sitting next to each other and screaming into each other’s ears. It was only 4pm on a Sunday, kinda ridiculous. The food was okay, service took a while to get to us so it’s nothing incredible but hits an American grub craving when you need it. Also wish the cheese balls came a really small serving of the tomato soup, a larger portion would have made more sense given how many there were. Maybe trying this on a different day will give me a different experience.

I love everything about this restaurant. The owner and staff are super personal and friendly, and the food somehow gets even better. They'll ID you at the door because of their delicious cocktails at a great price. 100% worth the wait

They accept Apple Pay, which is really cool. Only one bathroom, but it was cleaned up to use it. I pooped.

The staff at this bar is a joke. I’ve been here three times, and each time their attitude and priorities were frustrating — more focused on personal conversations than serving customers. At a bar, the first priority should be getting drinks to guests, not chatting among yourselves. It’s also not a friendly place for dog owners. I have a licensed, certified service dog, and one time I was refused entry even after showing proper documentation. That’s unacceptable. Hoboken is a dog-friendly community, and this bar clearly doesn’t respect that or its customers.

Used to come here years ago. It's still great not sure why I stopped. Huge burgers, good bartender, lively atmosphere on a Friday night!

Such a great place to relax and spend a beautiful evening..🍺

The outdoor vibe is insane, the food is cheap and seriously delicious. Inside, there’s a space where you can play all kinds of games, and the bartender on Thursday night was super friendly. Easily the top spot I’d recommend in Hoboken.

We love this bar! Dog friendly and the staff is amazing. We always feel super welcomed. We have become regulars at this point. My husband and I love this bar because it has such a laid back atmosphere. Our pup Oslo knows when we are heading here and super excited to receive free treats. Everyone from Stephanie, Nancy, Rosendo, Jeff and our boy Bowie, they are all amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Experience at Birtch in Hoboken! I recently planned my son’s 24th birthday, and he chose Birtch in Hoboken — what an amazing decision! He’s all about the VIP experience and bottle service, and Birtch delivered 100%. A HUGE thank you to Adam and Justin, the phenomenal managers who made the entire process effortless. We were able to book everything over the phone, and they were so professional, friendly, and helpful throughout. The venue was beautiful, the service was top-tier, and everything was seamless from start to finish. My son and his friends had the time of their lives — and as a parent, I couldn’t have asked for a better night. If you’re looking for a high-end, hassle-free spot for a celebration, Birtch is it. Thank you again, Adam and Justin, for your amazing hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

MY EXPERIENCE WAS TOP NOTCH!!! I booked with Adam and let me just tell you HE IS THE ONE TO BOOK WITH!!! me and my group had a blast on 27th… BOTTLE SERVICE, MUSIC, AND THE WHOLE TEAM WERE GREAT… I
