“Definitely sit outside if you can! Even if it's cold. The heaters work well enough that you don't need a jacket. Our server Marisa took great care of us. She had great menu knowledge and was friendly and quick. Everything we ate was delicious. I wish the French toast could come in a half portion, though :)“
“When you hear "perfect neighborhood bar" what do you think of? Because I think of unfussy food, strong drinks, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. Oh look at that, Brightside Tavern checks all 4 boxes.What's that? Entertainment (jazz night, open mic, karaoke) multiple nights a week? Sports on TVs all around the 360-degree bar? Brunch every day from 9-4? Happy hour ever weekday from 3-7? Kitchen open late (I mean LATE)? Music loud enough to take the edge of life off but not loud enough to make it impossible to talk? The owner (Tommy 2 Scoops) makes an effort to know and welcome everyone who visits? Everyone is welcome as long as you're good to each other?You probably get the idea by now. I can't think of one thing this bar doesn't make convenient. The Brightside Tavern might be Jersey City's best neighborhood bar. You don't need a reason or an excuse to go here, just do it.“

“We stopped in after a show late on a Tuesday. The bartender was very welcoming, explained the menu well, and made awesome drinks. Other folks seemed to be regulars based on their interactions with each other and staff. Decor is a mix of sports bar and dive bar. We weren't expecting the spicy veggie quesadilla to have buffalo sauce--a very midwestern touch“
“Such a great sports bar in a great area in JC! Lots of seating inside with a bar and plenty of tables and I believe an upstairs section. Service is always great and food is great too with lots of options. We got a chicken quesadilla, mozzarella sticks, nachos, and buffalo chicken eggrolls which were our favorite! Overall a great experience.“
“Whenever I come home to JC, I'll be at Cherry's ? to satisfy my Fish and Grits fix. Perfectly fried, grits are the right thickness, grabbed an Uptown and now I forsee a nap in my immediate future. Good looks Trav! I travel alot of places, but the best place is always home.“
“The atmosphere is great, food isn't bad, can't complain.The only thing that's not too great is the service. Service is pretty good, but you do have a couple of the women waitresses there that have an attitude problem. Especially if you're a woman going there. Wife had a deal with a couple of waitresses with a nasty attitude, For no apparent reason.If you're a woman you understand where I'm coming from. Women get those vibes. When one woman meets another woman. This is what I'm talking about other than that. Great place to hang out, eat pizza. Party with your friends. Don't let the.Waitress issue, stop you from going there. Check it out yourself. You never know you might get a good waitress. There's some good ones there as well. Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. You could also book it for parties. They have a rooftop bar.. If it's the one thing I could give 5 stars to this place. It's definitely that! it's awesome.You can reserve hang out with your buddies or your car clubs etc and enjoy the view, Take in the stars, fresh air, New Jersey air that is lol.Parking: Right across the street,Municipal parking lot“
“I have been here a few times and I mean it is a typical pub like any other. It's pretty clean and it can get full. I had their burger one drunken night and I knew it was good but I didn't quite remember it. So today my husband and I got their burger again and HOLY, it is one of the best I have had in JC. My husband actually told the bartender the story about how we tried a hyped up burger in the area and it was so so and she actually told the owner about it and he made us the burger from scratch. This place is very JC and they have such great service and food!“
