Tiki, do you love me? Are you… classic Polynesian cocktail kitsch in a stunning bar that also offers Coors Banquet beer for the person in your party who hates fun?
Don’t ruin this for us: If you are planning to show up to Jersey City’s cool-kid living room, be chill. All walks and stumbles of life, from artists to bros, rub elbows here.
Chic, new-ish, Charleston, South Carolina–ish, this beauty was embraced by the neighborhood almost immediately. The star is undoubtedly the 80s Glam, a gin-based tipple with edible glitter.
Relax at this cozy haunt with immaculately curated wine and (especially) cheese.
There’s nothing “new” about this old cop bar. Order what is perhaps the best burger in the country (get it with Taylor ham, cooked by bartenders when they are not slinging pints of Guinness).
Hungry for more?
Jersey City has become a culinary hub in its own right, complete with waterfront restaurants and bars, fine-dining restaurants and a critically acclaimed pizza joint slinging pies that (gasp) rival those across the river.
