I would like to have included some photos of the food, but it would not have shown anything to demonstrate what's supposed to be one of the best bars in Jersey City Heights! My fiancé and I came here a couple of Fridays ago around 8 at night and there was ONE - ONLY ONE woman serving the entire place! She was bartending, serving food and she was the cleaner. How can a business allow this on a FRIDAY night!!! I had chicken fingers and French Fries and the servings were super tiny! Not to mention, our food had been ready waiting for 10 minutes and the waitress - because she was alone - took 30 minutes to get our food to us. My fiancé had the meatball parm, which was actually in a calzone and not on a hero -- it also upset his stomach the next day! The waitress never checked in on us and was understandably in a hurry like she just was just sailing through the place on her free will. The ambiance is nice and it wasn't too crowded but they need to do a better job with the food portions and shift coverage. I'd like to come back here, but this experience soured us from trying it again. read more

Paulie's Brickhouse - Inside - Beer Bar Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

(Delivered 12/11/2022 SU @ 5:00pm): Paulie's a brick... house, but what about the pizza!? In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City, my friend and I finally tried Paulie's Brickhouse to fill my pizza craving. With a sizable Italian community, and I already ate some wonderful pizza from neighborhood Gino's Pizzeria and Rizzo's Bakery, I was expecting nothing less. We first came across this eatery while walking along Central Ave., and all I kept saying was "Pole-eee" with my best Italian accent; luckily, I didn't get whacked! Did Paulie have the goods cooking in his brickhouse!? PURCHASE 6pc Mozzarella Sticks ($8.00): Nothing really special about these although we loved the extra cheesiness when we bit into them, and the side of marinara dipping sauce was more watery than we liked (this was an easy fix) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=n0D4mEhYCGMANDTz4ZQHoQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 6pc Buffalo Wings ($9.50): There was nothing really special about these as well, and they weren't hot at all. There was a good amount of meat on each piece. Otherwise, this was a one-and-done for us https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kujd_Gok6z3uc5Jn9KJwQg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 16" The Newport Pizza ($22.00): Made with vodka sauce, mozzarella, chicken, mushrooms, peas, and prosciutto, all on a medium-thick crust, this was a lovely unique pie (who would consider peas!?) where all the ingredients somehow managed to pair well with each other. Everything tasted fresh, I honestly couldn't taste vodka in the sauce, and I wished the prosciutto slices were smaller in order to have more bites of them on each slice. Otherwise, this was a yummy pizza that served us for two nights https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4ViLUGNWCq8frJW7zcsSug&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3pc Cannolis ($8.00): Your standard sweet ricotta and chocolate chip-filled flaky pastry shell, each was sizable and blissful to eat. The shell held together well and didn't crumble, which held everything together. I'd leave a gun for these https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fjP0KF176OTn7gm48m3rKg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I easily placed my order over the phone for a designated delivery time (no fee!), a friendly gentleman repeated my order back to me, and about 45 minutes later, a young man was at the doorstep with our order all securely packed up - grazie! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was a moot point in this case since our food was delivered. Otherwise, I didn't notice any parking lot, but there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Central Ave. and all surrounding side streets. - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Sadly, my only recollection of this place while we walked by was a clean dark facade and a large glass window that looked inside to a ton of chairs and tables. Apparently, they also had a rooftop bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wslzsJdZdNcDQul3m9RyUg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front window and door while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I noticed some TVs but was unsure about any background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... but I was dressed-down for delivery. OVERALL Paulie's Brickhouse didn't disappoint - at least on the pizza and cannoli - so, I wouldn't mind a return visit for other interesting specialty pizzas. Sadly, the appetizers were fine but nothing really stood out about them. The prices were comparable, I loved the pizza and dessert, good portion sizes, extensive menu, and straightforward service. I hoped to check out the rooftop area one day and enjoy a sit down meal with a beer. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $51.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Really great relaxed environment. Plenty of room for our party of 11 on a Saturday at 6. It was so nice out that I wish they had their rooftop open but was told it doesn't open until May. They were playing great music too, mostly from early 2000s hip hop and pop. Got 4 pizzas, salad and buffalo wings for 11 people. Just enough food, had only 3 slices to take home. I really liked the Hawaii pizza. I love pizza with pineapple on it and this one had bacon too and plenty of it. The margarita was Also very good. Had fresh cheese on it and I liked the flavor of the tomato sauce. The buffalo wings weren't too spicy. They were still crispy and juicy too. Also we all got drinks. A lot of my friends ordered the frozen pina colada and loved it. I got the patron margarita and liked it as well. Super affordable for all of that split equally with tax and tip was $23 a person. They add %18 gratuity automatically for parties over 6. I will def come back! read more

Mama miaaa this place is gooood! Found it through JC restaurant week. They had great specials, 3 courses for $25. My favorite part was the pizza because oooo girl you could taste that brick oven. It tasted amazing: cheese, sauce, crust everything was a ten for me. We got jalapeño poppers and Mac n cheese as apps and they were pretty good but I think next time we'll just split a big pizza because that was the star of the show. And for dessert they had a boozy ice cream menu! So cool I've never seen that before. 2 of my fav things alc and ice cream yum. Service was friendly. Parking was a little tough but that's not news for Jersey City lol. read more

Food is sub-par and service makes the place really bad. The few good employees encountered before end up leaving due to shady administrative practices and not making enough tips (which are stolen). Female elderly manager has a horrible attitude. read more

Don't even think of booking a rooftop party in this place. The staff upstairs was nasty and rude. The evening was chilly and an older guest was cold so someone went down to the restaurant to buy a cup of coffee and was told they didn't sell coffee. They went next door to McDonald's and bought the coffee but was stopped from bringing upstairs by the rude staff. They also admitted people who were not guests! Not worth your time, trouble our money. read more

if you want to wait 30+ minutes in addition to your quoted wait time, want the wrong order and get only 5 fries as your "side of fries" this is the place for you! incompetent isnt too harsh of word to describe this place. we've tried giving this place a chance a handful of times and each time it gets worse. honestly it's impressive how they do that. read more

Great vibes, good priced drinks. I have not tried the food yet. Came here for the Copa America final and the rooftop was packed.

So.. I took a couple of my dates there's but now the owner took it upon herself to tell my girlfriend that I'm dog mind you I haven't been there In months!! Avoid this place guys!! Serve food not gossip! read more

Love the rooftop! Pizza is great, trivia is good, view is great. Love the happy hour is from 4-8 read more

Paulie's Brickhouse - Beer Bar Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Pros - great service Cons - Went here for the Copa America final. Who thought that a sports bar with a DJ blaring at ear splitting volume for the whole game was a good idea? This was on top of a cover charge for UFC(which we had zero interest in watching). Food - Fries, decent and good size for the price. Ordered the margherita. Good crust, however the marinara was near uncooked and tasted like they just heated it out of a store bought bottle and ladled it over. To management, get your act together, you're a sports bar, just be that. read more

Paulie's Brickhouse - Marg pizza - Beer Bar Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Very dissapointed with both Paulies and Grubhub tonight for a failed delivery order. Contacted both about my messed up delivery and the best solution was Paulies offer of a possible refund for the item in my order that was wrong. 35-40 minutes after receiving my order and 3 phone calls later I give up. I dont order food just to have something to do, I order food because I'm hungry. Womp womp. read more

I read about this place through a few reviews, and people in the pro wrestling scene around Jersey City. I came down from Connecticut with my girlfriend for Jersey J Cup at the White Eagle. I took a special side trip all the way to Paulie's Brickhouse. I was NOT even close to disappointed. Mostly because I had stopped here last year for pizza after Jersey J Cup as well. We decided to sit at the bar because why the hell not? The pizza was even better than the last time. My girl got a white pizza, and I got a pepperoni pizza. It came out fast AF, hot AF, and perfect looking AF. The service was great as the bartender kept our drinks topped off the whole time. Paulie's also had people playing Parcheesi at tables, and a general fun atmosphere. 10/10 ***** will return again, and again. read more

Bar seems nice, good location. Staff was also very kind. However the pizza is way too salty. I won't be back

The best pizza hands down! I asked for my pizza without peas and it was delicious. I definitely recommend the Newport pizza. I love prosciutto and this pizza had it with vodka sauce. We also ordered wings which were good as well. Frozen margarita and tequila shots were on point! Service was excellent. Fast and efficient. You can also watch football games on Saturdays. If you're on central Avenue definitely give this place a try. read more

Let me start by saying the negative reviews are bogus! I've been to Paulie's twice and on both occasions, it was good. I will share this evening's experience. My boyfriend and I went for "one drink." Well one drink turned into an order of 10 wings and the Hamilton park pizza. The wings were SOOOO good. The pizza was good as well, if you're into bbq chicken, of course! The service was attentive and friendly. When we got our check, Paulie's wife came over and asked us if we would like to try their ice creams. She let us taste a couple and they were delicious!! Would recommend!! We also chatted with her a bit about life and what not and she was really sweet! Please give this place a chance. Don't let the negative reviews deter you because at the end of the day, haters gonna hate LOL! And tbh this place doesn't deserve any hate:) read more

Dope little spot on a shady looking strip of jersey city. The service was perfect and friendly. It has a great divey bar feel to it with great selection of drinks. Brick oven pizza we ordered was on point with flavor and quality. Forgot to snap a pic of it cuz it was just too tempting once it was placed on the table. App was good too, nice flavor, just wish the cheese was more melted inside but nonetheless we still destroyed it lol. Tip: check in and you'll get a free empanada offer. I got a beef one which was glorious! I'll definitely be back to order more of those! read more

I've ordered a few times from Paulie's and they don't disappoint! The Downtown is definitely a favorite, as well as the Hot Calabrese. Now that the weather is warmer, I plan on coming to check out their rooftop deck for some sunset drinks and eats! read more

I ordered takeout for pickup. Food: I ordered the chicken parm sandwich and calamari. The chicken parm sandwich was tasty and not a lot of sauce (which is what I enjoy). The calamari on the other hand was not the best. It definitely tasted extremely fishy and lacked any flavor with the seasoning on it. Service: I walked in and couldn't get the attention of the bartender. I walked past the bar to 2 waitresses. I had to interrupt both of them to inform I was there for a pickup. I asked where I need to wait and one waitress says stand anywhere and uses her hand to shoooo me. I said ok. A few minutes later, she brings the food over and plops it on the table I was standing near and walks away, not even addressing me. Also, there were only 2 tables seated and the bar was full. So not sure why the waitress was in a frenzy and with a bit of an attitude. Overall it was mediocre. But who knows, I may give this spot another try. read more

I moved back to Jersey City in November and am so glad to have found a new local favorite even during the pandemic. Paulie's has great drinks and a nice spot to just relax and enjoy the evening with friends. Highly recommended. The staff is welcoming and remember faces and names once you go often enough. I can't wait until the pandemic is over to get a feel of the place when it's fully functional. read more

Paulie's Brickhouse - First time trying Modelo - Beer Bar Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The last couple of years, Jersey City has added a pretty good selection of newer eateries. Paulie's is probably the latest addition that has been sprinkled around town. Opening up about 2 months ago. I've visited a few times now. Once for drinks on a Friday evening & midweek for a dinner with the Mrs. Let's start with the good... 9 large screen TV's are scattered around the bar area to catch your favorite sports team. Prices are very reasonable for both food & adult libations. Their pies are named after areas of JC. We ordered 2 pizzas, since they are a 12' variety. A downtown which had arugula, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, parmigiana, drizzled with truffle oil & a fried egg. Also went with a Westside, a meat lovers pizza that had sausage, pepperoni & meatballs. Both were very good. Even came home with leftovers. :) Roughly 15 beers on draft, plus numerous other bottle options for $5. I stress this place is lite on the wallet. Now the not so good.... Since it's so new, service can be a little spotty on the weekends. Hopefully they can work that out for the Friday to Sunday crowd that comes through here. Midweek doesn't seem to be that issue at all. We even made reservations on the app to avoid that little inconvenience after our first visit. And yes, save room for dessert. read more

READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO THIS PLACE. If you do, CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE YOU PAY. I came here a couple weeks ago to celebrate a friend's engagement and I've never had a worse experience than this one. The view is great and all but the service was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. First of all, the food took a million years to come to us. We got some of our order after one hour, and waited a little bit thinking the rest would come, but it didn't. I'm a very patient person, so I let it slide and just let someone who worked there know that we're still missing some of our food. After another hour, some more food came but still not our entire order. I made the mistake of leaving my tab open and when I went to close it out.. there was a bunch of double charges and even charges for the food we never received. I thought to myself, "it's fine.. It's just a little mistake.. let me just ask them to fix it." When I asked them to take a look VERY NICELY, a bartender who never even took the table's order started yelling at me for a good 20 minutes saying I was lying and looked like she was ready to fight me for a good. I'm out celebrating my friends' engagement, why would I be out here trying to cause a scene?! One of the ladies working there was a tad bit nicer and did fix the issue, but the other girl never apologized for getting loud with me. Here I was trying to explain the situation and she was talking over me, and the entire bar was listening in. I still left a tip because I'd feel bad if I didn't, but boy I really shouldn't have. Horrible service, never going back and will most definitely let all my friends and family know how awful the service is. read more

Ok...stop changing your prices! Keep the menu consistent... You are one of the best places we have in the Arta and every time we all make it in, the prices are different Best pizza hands down- Awesome atmosphere and location Staff is pretty cool too Remember-those that raise prices lose business Keep prices consistent, have good specials that people want and you will succeed God willing we need you to stay around a long time read more

This place just opened so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars. It's one of the only bars on Central so that's definitely a plus, and the drink prices are fair ($3 Bud Bottles and $6 wine). They are definitely taking the "bar atmosphere" concept seriously, blasting house music the entire time. The only food that they have is pizza and wings so we ordered 6 buffalo wings, a pepperoni bar pie and a margherita bar pie. The wings weren't bad, but they barely had any sauce on them. They didn't even really taste like buffalo wings. The pizza wasn't bad either but they didn't give us any condiments. When we asked for condiments a waitress brought us salt and pepper. We then specified that we meant pizza condiments and the girl grabbed them off of another table that was still eating. There were only about 8 people in the entire place, and later while we were eating the bartender took the condiments away from us while we still had pizza left, so it led us to believe they only have one set of condiments. It was hard to get the attention of the bartender and waitresses because they were on their phones a lot, but when you did finally get their attention they were very nice. They might just need to iron out some of these kinks because they do have potential. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood!! Super excited about this place opening just a few minutes from me. From what the bartender was telling me they had no intention of opening this year, but decided to have a soft opening just to see what people liked. Last night on my way home from work I decided to stop in and try it out. I sat at the bar & was welcomed right away. They seemed to have a crowd going & though seemed busy my drink was pretty good. I ordered the Newport pizza (they're named after áreas of Jersey City) & it was delicious, just the right size for a bar pizza. Went again for the second time & now they have almost like a speak easy on the adjacent building's roof. It has an AMAZING view of the city with a backyard party type feel. I really like the vibe & will be returning. Turns into a full on bar at night, but I actually enjoy that atmosphere. read more

Really great spot. I stopped in for a Pizza, the Margherita - it's called, The Heights on the menu. Wood Oven pizza is some of the best. Their sauce had great flavor too, which is important. The pie was cut in to 6 slices, I ate 2 and brought home the other 4 to my Boyfriend who gobbled it up. He loved it. If I had been super hungry, I could have easily downed the whole thing on my own. I do wish they had a few more topping options, or a build your own type of thing. My dream pizza is Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Jalapeńos. I know they are still adding things to the menu and I look forward to more to come. As for drinks, they've got the neighborhood beat for prices! $3/$4 shots, $7 for top shelf shots. That's unheard of! You're lucky to pay $7.00 for well shots in most places. $3-$6 Bottles & Drafts. $8-$10 Cocktails. I love that they are being so fair in prices, it's the kind of place you'll be happy to sit for a while. For less than $30 I got a pie that fed two, a mixed drink, a beer & a shot. I wanted to do a happy dance when I got my bill. The staff is lovely, friendly, genuinely caring and they made me feel so welcomed. When I walked in the door I was greeted with a warm and cheery, Hello - I think she was an owner or a Manager? I usually sit at the bar in places like this and the kid behind the bar was great - he stayed on top of my needs while he was busy doing several other things. That's how I like it. I've been in to other bars in the area and the service wasn't nearly as attentive. I joked and told my Boyfriend that I'm going to turn this place in to my Cheers! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon to watch a basketball game. Opted for the Newport pizza and buffalo wings. The Newport was delicious, it included chicken, prosciutto, mushrooms, mozzarella and vodka sauce. I highly recommend this bar pie. The wings were also tasty accompanied by the usual blue cheese or ranch selection. The beer selection was vast and had many goodies to choose from. The one thing I believe they can upgrade is the hard liquor and add some Jameson, Jack Daniels or Hennessy to the collection just to appease the community. You can tell this place is fairly new, wasn't too busy, but has the potential in a prime location. Only bummer is that parking can be tough at times. A much needed add to the community. read more

Calling all locals, go try Paulie's!!! Before I get into the venue/food, I will say the service was great! The waitress and owner were friendly and forthcoming. Decor/Atmosphere: Long time local finally gave in & tried a new pizza place! It's not Pizza Master or Gino's...it's a different taste, flavor & overall vibe! Great place to meet with friends, date night and a casual lunch. Food/Drinks: We ordered the Square, typical pepperoni pizza with a flavorful marinara sauce. The crust needed a couple more minutes & the cheese was too heavy but the thin slice pizza tasted good. Next time, I would get it crispier so you can taste the charred brick oven taste. All in all, I would visit again & try their other combinations especially 'The Downtown' !! read more

This is a nice home bar. They have a few good options in terms of food. The wings and shrimp hit the spot. My first draft beer(Yuengling golden) was way too watered down. The IPAs that followed were good. We liked both Pizzas. Definitely a good pick if you want to grab a few drinks in the Heights on a weekday. read more

Tried Paulie's Brickhouse for the first time last night as delivery and thought it was yummy! I would give it closer to 4.5 stars than 4! I preferred the BBQ chicken white pizza while my husband liked the Westside meat lovers better. I wanted both pizzas to have slightly more complex flavors like some onions on the BBQ chicken or pepper flakes and garlic for the meat lovers. Could have really elevated the food but otherwise really solid and really good! read more

Went for dinner and drinks last night. Bar was full for the NFL playoffs, but there were plenty of spots to sit in the dining area. Definitely a sports bar with lots of TVs, but it was a good atmosphere and not overwhelming. Cool industrial vibe with the decor. Our server was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive but not overly so. Good selection of standard beers on tap (Blue Moon, Fat Tire, Sam Adams, etc.), all for about $6. Also reasonably priced cocktails and shots--will have to try next time. Wings and fries are available (BBQ wings juicy and big--$7 for 6 plus $1 per additional wing) but pizza is main attraction (obviously). We got the Downtown, which was delicious. My only minor quibble is that I would have loved a bit more prosciutto! Food came out fast and the pizza was enough for two. Looking forward to going back and trying the other pizzas. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Thought we'd give it a shot. I hot there around 5 and had a few beers. Invited my partner to join me and and he got there just before the bartenders had a shift change. Now the first bartender was great, very attentive. Unfortunately that can not be said of her replacement. First she got our food order wrong, he ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN and he got CHICKEN PARMESAN. He let it go by telling her he wasn't a ran. When we asked for the checkzshe was very prompt. Once we got it ,I had my card out to pay. It took another 15 minutes for her to make her way back to us. The place wasn't that busy she had 4 people at the bar and two tables to take care of but she was too busy socializing to pay attention to us. I doubt I'll be returning. read more

Great spot to relax, have a few drinks and pizza...and just chill. Accommodating to larger groups as well.

I'm in the neighborhood all the time since I live there. Starting working with Paul on a few food projects and looking to do more when it comes to Soul Food. The property is very warm meaning by its atmosphere. I suggest if you have never been there, then give it a try because you will be going back. Now they have an MP3 music playing which has a variety of music. I'm looking for some good house music or house music classics. Music like Diana Ross, The Temptations, or some jazz music like Lionel Hampton, and others. Jazz music always put you in the mood for something great like pizza and a beer. Just tell them, Chef Rene Hewitt sent you. read more

It sucks cuz I was really excited about the place but the only reason why I honestly go there is for the rooftop venue. If they changed or added a seasoned chef and had a bit of impeccable service, that place would be it. The food is subpar and every time you try to get the attention of a waitress, they're on their phones. It's a shame! read more

Summary: lots of growing pains...lots to improve upon. Anytime a new place opens in the Heights, my bias and subconscious immediately wants to love it. When you think of restaurants and bars in JC, you invariably think of Downtown, and I think the Heights could use a few good places of its own. I visited this place twice over the past month or so - the 1st time just for drinks, and the 2nd time for dinner on a Friday night around 8pm. For starters - the music was blaring, making it difficult to have a simple conversation. I asked someone if they could turn it down, and they said they would ask, but nothing happened. I ordered food around 750pm. Nothing extravagant; since their menu is very simple (which I like - in theory it makes preparation quicker), I went for 2 personal pizzas and an order of fried calamari. It took literally 50 minutes (I timed it) for the food to come out - both pizzas and the calamari came out together. That's simply unacceptable. Someone (manager? owner?) came out to apologize for the wait, stating they were short staffed that night. The calamari was crispy, but totally lacking in flavor. The veggie pizza was passable. The best of the 3 items was my margherita pizza. However, I could have gone next door to ole reliable Pizzamasters and gotten the same things much more quickly (and more deliciously). I gave them a 2 star rating only on account of growing pains / missing cooks that evening / my bias for Heights establishments. But I don't see how you can set up shop a stone's throw away from the best pizzeria in Jersey City and hope to compete with such a subpar offering. PS to the management - in Hoboken recently, a bartender accidentally charged me for someone else's tab. He apologized immediately and bought a round of drinks for me and my buddy for the inconvenience. That is how you handle inconveniences for customers: a free dessert, a free drink - anything other than "oh sorry, we're really busy". read more
