I’m glad such an original spot is within walking distance . The staff are lovely, the beyond beef nachos are a must have, and it’s just a place that you can be yourself.

Went there with friends for karaoke Thursdays and atmosphere was nice. Wait staff good, and drinks fair priced. Can not rank food, as did not have any this visit. Not sure if these were regulars, but if you ever are there when Maureen is, she's got a killer voice and wonderful vibes.

Great location…located at the heart of Jersey city…close from Grove street path station…open air Bar… great service… limited choice of drinks…parking is a big problem… specially on weekends. Paid street parking available, used ParkMobile app to pay.

Fun bar with a spacious outdoor area located in Jersey City, NJ. We all ordered margaritas, but I went one step further and got the jalapeno margarita. Although it was delicious, be warned because it was spicy!

A summer only place to grab a cool one out - city backyard vibes

This is a nice spot in jersey city. I will say - the vibe here is excellent! Outdoor space, nice staff, chill vibes. The food was average and the cocktails were a tad bit disappointing. If you’re coming here, I would recommend sticking to beers.Vegetarian options: They have plenty of veggie options.

It has great vibe and music except it is a bit noisy if you sat outside. I had purple rain drink and corn, cajun shrimp. I liked the corn better. Food and drinks are decent and well

Open, clean, fast and amazing food / drinks! Sucks that some had a poor experience and rated this place anything less then 5 stars...Top 5 spots in JC!

Sundays are awesome here, starting at 3pm you will get superb live reggae, neighborhood fun, and very fantastic food. PLUS, the service is perfect, attentive and full of good energy. Hurry up because it is going to get more and more crowded. Buffalo Cauliflower is to DIE for - so are the nachos. ALL VEGETARIAN MENU TOO!!! YES, and HURRY UP before you can't even get inside anymore.

Quick service. Really good fish tacos. Friendly staff. Really saved the night after getting no service at a nearby spot (Surf City). Thank you all. Will be back for sure.

Cool spot to meet up for a drink, love music and ping pong in the outside area. Lively spot with drinks, food and live dj's ..The waitstaff are friendly but not great. The food is overpriced and terrible! I ordered shrimp tacos. They were $19, came three tiny tacos to an order and were served cold. I also ordered the buffalo cauliflower. Tasty but no great. I will not be back for food.. ever!Nice place to gather with a group of friends but not for food. The drinks were ok but not great.Also- very busy intersection to be dropped off by Uber. Do not recommend.. dangerous to cross with the way people are driving in JC without the city putting in safety precautions..
