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 casual bar for several beer options and vegan food in downtown JC.There's a backyard to chill out when the weather is warm.There are some board games to kill time too.

Think I got food poisoning. Ordered the fried oyster mushroom sandwhich. Wasn’t even cooked and fries were black and old. I have sharp pains in my stomach. It was my first ever time going. Really sucks cause I’m a vegan and was excited to try this spot since they had vegan options. I feel really sick like I have to throw up. Writing this 4/16/2024

Came here because of all the vegetarian food options. But to be honest this is more of a bad that happens to serve vegetarian food rather than a proper vegetarian restaurant.the food came out very quickly which leads me to believe everything is preprepared and frozen. Afterwards I realized nearly everything on the menu is deep fried.Wasn't bad perse but definitely wouldn't return for the food. Neither me nor my parter finished our meals. I had a po boy and they had a rice balls or something similar. also both of our sodas were completely flat.Maybe if I was more of a drinker I would like it more. No table service either. you have to order at the bar.Overall not really my vibe but I get the appeal. the bartenders were friendly enough.

We came here for dinner in December 2023.
We ordered three things:
1. Portobello Fries w/ a chipotle lime aioli
- the aioli tasted like sour yogurt or something, and had an almost watery texture. The actual mushrooms were decent. I think we assumed it was vegan aioli, but looking at the menu now I think we were wrong.
2. Fried Oyster Mushroom Po' Boy
- the menu said this has bibb lettuce, but it was fast food quality iceberg lettuce. Maybe they were out, but the iceberg lettuce was gross. The mushrooms were alright but not as good as the portabello fries. The bread was low quality.
3. Caramelized Onion Burger
- The burger was fine, but the bun was soggy. We got it with a salad and the salad was the kind I would expect from a bad pizzeria. Like, iceberg lettuce, quarter tomato slices, and red onion.
If you are at a vegetarian restaurant and the worst part of your food is the vegetable quality, something is deeply wrong.

From the food to the drinks to the live music, this place was awesome. Had the slider trio and loaded tots and they were insanely good. Staff was super friendly and all in all just good vibes all around. Definitely plan on coming back next
The atmosphere at Pet Shop is casual and laid-back, making it the perfect spot to unwind with friends after a long day. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience.I highly recommend that when you do stop by Pet Shop try their delicious Cuban sandwich. You won't be disappointed!

My friends and I love to come here on a night out. The vegetarian menu is great, we love the cheese curds and the cauliflower wings! The bar staff have always been friendly and the drinks are great. I think the price point for this place is on par with the location.

By far my favorite bar in Jersey City! Great live music on Thursdays and they have a comedy nights in the basement.I did notice some bad reviews about the bartenders which surprised me. However, it’s a big place so it does get super busy on some nights. You may need to be a bit patient with getting a drink on super busy nights. That’s just part of going to a popular bar. I’ve never had issues with the staff.Lastly, they have a vegetarian bar food menu and the cauliflower wings are my favorite!
Cocktails prise $ 14 but looks how they serve it . Glass not even full from first serve but when I took out Huge ice block out and just little bit drink... Really shame on bar to treat customers this way .

The service here is terrible, and the staff’s attitude is off-putting. The bartender lacks basic skills and seems to prioritize ignoring customers. If you’re looking for a good time, steer clear of this place—the bartenders will ensure your night is anything but enjoyable. ??
