Absolutely disgusting experience. We were treated with disrespect, hostility, and what felt like…read morestraight-up racism. I am old enough to be in a bar, and my sister-in-law is 25 and was visiting from out of town. She had her ID available on her phone, but instead of handling the situation professionally, the woman immediately got loud, aggressive, and disrespectful. She kept yelling at me and repeatedly saying she "owns the bar," as if that gave her the right to embarrass and mistreat customers. There was no reason for her to raise her voice, talk down to us, or make the situation so hostile. Enforcing an ID policy is one thing -- being rude, aggressive, and making paying customers feel targeted and unwelcome is another. The way we were treated felt racist, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of bars that know how to treat people with basic respect.

If you knew me, I loved dive bars just to escape for a bit. Considered an Irish bar, historically, Grape Vine Tavern received the first liquor license https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=l17-ZJ4UsdlN0k4XmBbvJw in Jersey City on June 28, 1934 once Prohibition ended!

The gentleman behind the bar, Miguel, gave me the lowdown that it was a cash-only bar and pointed out the ATM. He quickly fulfilled each of my orders as I worked the beer tap and potato chips. Eventually, I joined the bar banter and bought a round of drinks - slainte! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 15-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots (no known private lot) along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE The true embodiment of a neighborhood dive bar, and I loved it! Everything was at its minimal best https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=UC8GMkpbJmd0suQKBhj4fg from the beer list, snacks, and decorations, to a surprising amount of liquor options, a small "back" room, plenty of stools around the bar, a jukebox that had banging songs, and an ATM in the corner. Minimal natural lighting came through the two small tinted windows while equally-minimal electric lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs while music only played in the background if someone fed the jukebox. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=zDQRpf0XuB7CqKDhfuT9fA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I've officially adopted Grape Vine Tavern as my area dive bar! The prices were cheap and the pace was relaxed, but it was the quick acceptance I felt with the four local gentlemen and Miguel when I first settled in. Plus, you were allowed to bring your own food. And, I always loved supporting small businesses whenever possible. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $36.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). Sadly, they were a cash-only establishment, so they certainly didn't accept my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I wonder what gave it away. We had a quick laugh when I told them my name was Louise. The local asked me if I owned the place as a joke, I already loved the vibe here that little joke was icing on the cake. I wouldn't consider this a trendy bar, but maybe it's different on the weekends? The prices were pretty decent, I came in because my friend wanted a quick drink before heading back to the city. I loved their exposed brick walls, I think it's a family owned bar because the bartenders were super cool and personable. If I lived in NJ I think this would be my regular spot. The drinks were cheap because we were here for happy hour. They had some IPAs on tap. They have a dart board and pool table. I do like the fact that this spot is dog friendly. I'm guilty for petting 3 of the dogs that were their. Definitely see myself coming back here one day. Next time I'm going to say yes to naming the bar and owning it. Haha

It's tucked right around Franklin Social and one can confuse it for another apartment building, but instead you're moved up to the top floor where it feels like you're back in the 1800s, in a good way. A speakeasy, but on elevation. It's first come, first serve for most parties. There's one table for a party bigger than 4, but most are for couples. Very cozy tables with comfy seats and candles dimly lit to make it very cozy for a wrap to a date night. The cocktails were elegantly thought about too. Love the history behind the name and the drink menu was expansive, yet understandable. You can definitely get whatever fits your palette here with cocktails. We got the beauty in green & mint condition cocktails and loved both of them. We'll definitely come back, though likely keeping it to ourselves!!

It has been 17 years since my last review of the Living Room Bar, and I am not sure that I have…read moreeven been there since. However, they recently revamped the space, updating the decor to ensure that the W Hotel remains at the forefront of modernity. The small, linear bar was moved from one side of the room into the center and was now a larger, semi-circle to make it easier to converse with neighboring imbibers. The space maintained its lounge feel, with couches and comfortable chairs scattered around the bar. A main change was that, instead of the Living Room being visible to anyone that walked into the hotel lobby, it was now hidden behind a translucent wall of lights, only visible to those that entered. That change enabled the bar to be more exclusive, or "discreet", as we heard someone mention at the bar, haha. The place was reasonably crowded on the Friday evening, and we grabbed seats at the bar in order to be more social. To that end, we had some interesting conversations with both locals and hotel guest. Also, our bartender, Jose, was excellent! He was engaging to speak with and also crafted fantastic cocktails. The Espresso Martini he made for me had a very robust coffee flavor and just the perfect hint of sweetness; it was definitely up there on my list of top espresso cocktails. The bar had a list of really creative and unique drinks, and I had initially wanted to try the Kyoto Bridge with Haku vodka, sake, ceremonial matcha, and yuzu, but Jose had told me that he did not have the necessary sake for it. However, he assembled my martini with such perfection that I did not mind having a more basic drink on that visit; I could always go back to try the Kyoto Bridge and certainly will after such an enjoyable experience!

Reservations recommended. After dinner at Panela upstairs, the host walked us down the steps into The Sinatra Room. What is cool about this is the door is a bookcase so if you're not familiar with this speakeasy, you couldn't even tell there is something behind it. It was pretty empty inside, only two other groups. There are a couple tables and chairs along with a bar in the back. The seats are a mixture of leather chairs and ottomans. You can even put your things in the ottomans which is cool. Light music playing in the background. A bartender comes overs with glasses of ice water and shows us where to view the menu which is a QR code. The menu consists of 5 cocktails; I ordered the High Society and my friend ordered On the Town. We both loved our drinks. Mine came in a teacup so I felt extra bougie haha!
