I’ve always enjoyed coming here for the nightlife, but this was my first time visiting during the day to watch the World Cup, and it was a huge disappointment. Nearly half of the beers on tap were already kicked before the match, showing a lack of preparation for one of the biggest sporting events in the world. On top of that, the game was only on one TV with no audio, not even during halftime. Watching the World Cup in silence completely takes away from the experience. In addition, the bartenders SUCKED. Overall, this was a major letdown. For a bar showing the World Cup, I expected better preparation and a much better viewing experience. Hopefully they take advantage of the next four years to prepare for the next World Cup.

Brilliant bar + live music venue in Jersey city. The minute you walk in you feel the vintage vibes from the space but then you also hear the cutting edge live music pouring out from the back. Downstairs you can also find stand up comedy. This place was definitely on my radar for a while so finally came to check out a friend’s band play. Plenty of drink options and friendly bartenders !

A typical weekend with friends usually involves them doing a lot of drinking without any care about what is eaten before or after. I’m not a drinker and being the unofficial designated driver, my time spent in a bar is watching them chug beer or tossing back shots. All that changed when I came to this place. The entire food menu is vegan. I’m literally in bar heaven. The menu is large with choices and I decided on the Kentucky Fried barbecue sandwich which came with a large amount of fries. It was yummy. My friend ordered a burger and she said omg it tastes like a real burger and it came with a lot of fries also. So many fries that neither one of us were able to finish them. You can dine inside or outside but you have to order everything from the bar and that puts you in contact with a very cool staff. Lindsay,Nas, Steve, Vinny, and Danny were some of the coolest bar keeps I’ve meant in a while. Probably all that vegan food has their spirits nice. The price for the meals and 5 drinks was way lower then I expected also. I’m going to make sure I’m really hungry for my next visit to this jewel in Jersey City so I can try more then one entree. Oh and they have a pinball machine!!!!

Great band and live music. This is a favorite joint for some time now. Vegans love it. Drinks are okay but the vibe is super chill especially its open very late night and a great place. Vegan people love the cauliflowers - as a meat lover I’m agnostic

This place has been on my radar for a while and I finally got a chance to give it a try. This area is usually bad with parking but I was lucky to find parking right away. When I walked in I was greeted and told I could sit anywhere I wanted. When my friend arrived we ordered our drinks. Ariana was our server and she was so nice and attentive. I ordered the Femme Fatale to start and it was pretty decent. My second drink was a grapefruit tequila drink and it was really good. My friend liked his desert rose drink. This spot is vegan so all things are veganized on the menu. For entrées I ordered the bacon jalapeño chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the pulled jackfruit sandwich. The sandwich looked like real chicken and also tasted similar to it with a little spice. My friend really enjoyed his sandwich as well. The bill came to about $80 total which wasn't too bad. All in all I had a good experience.
