A selection of cheap, draught beers perfect for budget-friendly nights out with friends.
Large food menu with vegan options like cauliflower dishes, catering to plant-based diets.
Great outdoor area and vintage interior for socializing, events, and community gatherings.
Great athmosphere. affordable draught beers and large food selection but DO NOt get the food (overcooked poor quality sysco type).
There were no pets, only punk rock But then in the vast scheme of things, aren't we all animals. Ultimately? They had a comedy show in the basement. That was pretty good and they had a band that was supposed to go on at 9:00 and we're still warming up at like 10:00. I mean I get that. That's what rock is but come on man I'm old. Wouldn't it be extra punk rock to make things start on time? You know a subversion of the whole trope of "bands never start on time"? That would be great
A spot for those stuck in emo punk 2010 era... Dirty & Cheap water down drinks. GREAT outdoor space & interior area. The bar is very involved with the community which is nice Attitude of bartender’s really depends on the day
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 !
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

Jersey City's punk rock haven for cheap drinks, live music, and late-night vibes.
