“Was just walking by and the vibrsnt colors peaked my interest and had ti go in-The best tasting smoothie I've ever ordered. As a guy who lives on chick fil a and chipotle, I can taste the healthiness. Very fresh, very healthy, very happy.Probably falls into the premium product category, but as far as getting what you pay for, it's a 10 out of 10 for me.Will come back again!“

“Didn't eat. Killed two hours here rather easily. Immediately had two open spots at the bar but we were lucky in our timing, this place can get full fast. Never had to wait for a new drink, bartenders were on top of everything.It's a local stop in Jersey City, though, so be prepared for the accent and the attitude. If you're not from Hudson County, it might seem a little rough, but this is a great spot. Lean into it.Parking: If you don't parallel park then go to a mall, you don't belong here.“

“Pretty good merge between old school JC neighborhood bar and the gentrified implant hipster JC crowd of late. Fun place. Good food, but sometimes inconsistent when the bar/kitchen closes. Great service. Awesome bartenders like Amber, Rinny, Nolan Francis and a few more I am forgetting to list right now.“

“Fox & Crow is the premiere Listening Venue in Jersey City. The music room is small, like a local jazz club from back in the day (think Coltrane or Monk at the 5 Spot), but that gives it a focused vibe and electric intimacy that you can't get anywhere else in JC at this time.“

“What a fun bar! We came on a Tuesday around 9:45 just before they stopped serving food. We played darts, doted on a pup, and browsed the jukebox while waiting for our food. The Nintendo was occupied this time, but the folks playing it seemed like they were having fun. Our impossible burger was impressive--cooked perfectly and served with ultra fresh veggies. I mean that onion was CRISP. And the sauce on the honey butter Brussels could be eaten by itself with a spoon.“

“Today was my very first time coming here but not my last! Busy place but seated very quickly, our server Marina was very pleasant & attentive. I ordered the steak & eggs which came with rye bread and french fries but I opted for the homemade onion rings.. YUMMY!!? The music was good as well as the drinks. The only thing I didn't like was that the tables were super close together (you can hear the next person's conversation close) but other than that no complaints!! ??“

“Excellent food, great wine list and some nice piano music to go with - loved it there already a couple of times. The kitchen is genuinely American with some notchs above the usual, and if you take a few steps after dinner to digest, you'll arrive at the Korean War Memorial and a terrific view of the southern tip of Manhattan.“

“Food was good, tasty and good quality. The portions tend to be a bit small. Staff was very friendly, although the service was a little slow. The atmosphere is pleasant, good retro Tex-Mex style decoration. It still tends to be noisy in the sports bar area. So if you want somewhere quieter, unless the patio area is open (which is often not the case in winter), this is not the place. Overall a good place to visit at least once, but nothing extraordinary.“

“Had the pleasure of working with Gabriel and team for a private party at 143 Social, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. Good communication leading up to the event, great at handling our special requests, SUPER helpful team on site on the night. Multiple guests commented on the quality of the food and drinks and how attentive all the staff were. Big thanks especially to Dan and Juan who consistently went above and beyond to keep everyone happy. This team couldn’t have done more for us“

Guillo's Bar • $
110 Coles St, Jersey City

“Guillo's place in Jersey City Downtown is not a restaurant, but rather a bygone bar serving beers and a few other mixes of drinks. Beers and other drink mixes have the lowest price you can find. Like I told you before. It is not a restaurant but a bar from the bygone era with bags of chips and peanuts. But with an ideal environment that brings people of great quality and spirit. I recommend that you visit Guillo's place.“

We also needed to see what all the hype was about with their Espresso Martini which was voted the best in JC. It 100% lives up to the hype. It is very clear that the owner Julian and his staff deeply care about their restaurant and their guests.“

“I was pleasantly surprised that the food was actually really good. I expected it to be terrible to be honest, the food will definitely bring me back.I enjoyed the time there, the games of course is what brought me in. I was however very sad to see they didn't have Mortal Kombat II here. I wish there was a request form to start asking for a game to be added because that would definitely bring me back religiously.I asked a member of the staff if they've ever had the game and that was the first time i found out that they have multiple locations, I guess I'll be visiting the one in NYC for my Mortal Kombat II fix but it would be so ideal if it was in my home town.Overall, the place delivered a great first time experience for me.“

“In the middle of winter I was craving for a coastal summer vibe. So, I ordered the shrimp basket from Lobster Garage and a bottle of rose from the nearby liquor store (I'm proudly basic). I ordered to go by the way. The venue is styled as an ocean front pub. Picture Cape Cod or even Isla Morada. It's gotta be great in the summer because they have outdoor seating. The place is very welcoming. Great staff, great location conveniently located few steps from the Path train. The friend shrimps are coated in a thick batter, and they are big pieces. It comes with ketchup, Cole slaw, and tartar sauce. Dipped in tartar sauce, they are divine. They come with a generous side of skinnt fries that are not soggy and seasoned just right. The portion of the basket is good and as corny as it sounds, it accompanied the rosè very well.“

“Our very first time here. A very nice place to hangout and enjoy good food and beer. The food was good and really fast prepared and served. Service, on the other hand was slow. Our server (Mario D) was totally distracted having a long and repetitive conversation with another customer that looks like a regular or at least an acquaintance. We have to ask other servers a few times for the things that we need. Nice sports bar atmosphere, just the music was a little bit too loud for me.It was a good experience overall and I'll definitely give it another try.“

The space was a great size (we had about 75 people), the food and drink were delicious (and reasonably priced), and everyone had the best time. Their team even took the extra step to put flowers along the bar and tables to make it festive and beautiful, which we really appreciated, and let us bring our own DJ. Highly recommend if you're looking for a chill, semi-private event space in JC.“

The bartender's charm and attentiveness added a personal flair, turning our visit into a truly hospitable experience.A quick note for future patrons: Keyhole operates on a cash-only basis, so come prepared. Despite this small consideration, the overall positive ambiance, reasonable prices, and exceptional service make Keyhole a spot I'll gladly revisit for future nightcaps“
