While the interior and the food aren't the strongest points, the drink selection and rooftop views during the warmer months can't be beat.
This place is fast becoming my second home! Craft beers that change each week, brilliant food and snacks! Awesome bar staff! Tip your bartender! :-)
loran jonakMay 16, 2015Multiple levels for you enjoyment. Go all the way up to the roof of the weather is good. Friendly staff, good draft beer selection and good food
Great neighborhood bar with a great selection of beers including a lot stouts.
All the bartenders are great, but Sam is the best ever! Ask her what to drink or ask her to surprise you, you'll never be disappointed.
The rooftop is the best place 4 after work drinks & the food exceeds expectations. The hidden weapon is the bottled 120 min IPA. be prepared to wait 4 it upstairs; they're all kept on the 1st floor.
The $10 lunch special here that comes with any beer they have on tap (and that's a lot to choose from) can't be beat.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 24, 2010Go for Taco Tuesdays and the great selection of premium beers. When the weather is nice, skip the first two floors and head straight to the roof!
Rooftop bar is (-1) for stoner waiter. "I had the crab dumplings at another bar last night, there was no cheese." "I think all beer is gluten free." "I brought you an extra water."
Corey ManiconeDecember 30, 2015Nice little hidden gem. They typically have 2-3 amazing/rare beers on tap.- Love this place! Friendliest bar staff, lots of different ales. My personal favorite is the Rogue Dead Guy!
Jess RJune 7, 2012Great beer selection and ambience w decent food. Service wasn't so great but definitely recommended. Especially during happy hour!
ReshuMay 11, 2014Always go for the rooftop seating. Great music...chatty environment...breezy evenings
Scott GoldsteinJanuary 19, 2015Clown shoes burnt caramel was great. Enjoyed the fish and chips as well
Great Mac n cheese. Servers aren't the best (or most accommodating). But the beer selection is great.
What tips are could? Good beer, and the rooftop. Go on impress me, I dare you ;p. Service isn't up to par and waitstaff cld be better... Just saying
For those that say drinks suck, you must not love beer. This is a craft beer bar and the selection its phenomenal.
Half Off on all 39 drafts everyday 9-10pm ( doesn't include limited,specialty& vintage editions)
Rooftop is great but small. Wine and penne pasta go great together.- Christopher CidJune 10, 2010You definitely have to try the mac & cheese! They even won an award for it, it has to be one of the best mac & cheese in Jersey.
Monica HirstJuly 22, 2011Check out the expansive selection of Allagash beers, as well as the rooftop, its excellent!
Tons of great beers on tap and a pretty decent menu. Go to the roof if it's nice outside!- Half Off on all 39 drafts every day 9-10pm (offer doesn't include limited,specialty & vintage editions)
India CMarch 31, 2014Crappy at takeout orders. I called ahead and ordered wings for pickup - it took 40 minutes for them to fill the order, when they told me it would only be 15! Wings were good, but not 40 minutes good
Love the rooftop! Perfect for a relaxing week night outing with a few friends. Try the French Vanilla Martini
Ask to use the roof top elevator next door @Automata Chino
- hands down, best beer selection in Jersey City and probably Hudson County
Best rooftop bar in the area. Bartenders are the best too!
ArthurAugust 25, 2013Steak panini is excellent. The monkey staring at you from the bar? He's just lookin' at you eatin'
lindsay vFebruary 23, 2012guaranteed to have one of your fav beers and 4 just like it that you've never heard of.
