Ringside Lounge - Steak Portuguese Style - Sports Bars Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Went to lunch with the work girls today . Place was referred by one of the girl I work with . Food was good and fast service . The server was very polite and welcoming , but he needs to pay a little more attention to orders . Cause I order a drink in a glass and ended up with a bucket ( couldn't drink everything cause we had to go back to work . So I ended up paying for something I couldn't finish even half of it . Overall service was ok . But they could definitely work on some more customer service . Improvements are always a plus read more

Ringside Lounge is a bar that locals in the area know about. My friend mentioned that they had great drinks and it's a chill place. Went to grab a "sex on the brain" cocktail that tasted good and was boozy! Ordered wings and cheese fries that were decent (did not like the wings in the same container as fries). This was my first time stopping by Ringside Lounge and would go again for their drinks when in the area! read more

Drinks. That's probably the best thing about this place. They drinks are big and they are good. Customer service... lol. If you want service with a smile, don't come here lol. I tried the food once... ummm... I don't get the hype but I won't be ordering it again. The garlic sauce is bomb but there was like 100 shrimp on my plate and they all tasted like they were pre-cooked, frozen, then cooked again. No thanks. read more

Always a good time and good vibes! Small and cozy Portuguese sports bar well known for their drinks. My first time ordering food and it was amazing. Very filling and tasty. I ordered the fried shrimp and it comes with two sides (I got the fries and rice). For my drinks, my friend and I ordered the Antifreeze,jolly rancher and henny tea. Service was great our host was very tentative. Definitely recommend if you want a fun and casual night out. read more

Fantastic Portuguese food! The owner Mario is a real sweetheart, he took care of my family and made sure we tried so many things from the menu.He should open a second location! If you want great fries and burgers run across to the White Manor across the street! read more

Only thing good here are the drinks. It's a hole in a wall. Very ratchet vibes. No parking. Food taste disgusting. Customer service is not good. I don't understand the hype. read more

Another place which was on the list of eventual places to try. Small parking lot available (probably best to drive, unless crossing a busy) As the name suggests, they have a theme of boxing inside with numerous photos of boxing legends. It is a long bar that opens up toward the back for more seating. The food is a general mix but mostly geared towards the Portuguese/Brazilian food. My crew enjoyed their meals. I had the Chicken Parmesan on a hero. I liked it! I could've done with more but the price did reflect the portion so I can't complain. The drinks, well. If you've ever got the large ice tea or lemonade from the Chinese restaurant, that's what you're working with. I had a regular degular Jack & Coke and it was a "healthy" pour of Jack. As far as music, they are heavy on the jukebox play (and they have an ample amount of soca ) Aside from the fight that almost broke out in the back because liquor started exposing true feelings amongst "friends" I had a good time and would consider coming back again. read more

You come to ringside to get lit. Not for the decor or customer service. The food is not my favorite but they always have a bar full of people ordering food to go and to dine in. I just need my Singapore Sling and Mai Tai with no hole poked in the top because I'm headed back home to enjoy this on the couch lmao. Not sure if the prices have gone up but it wouldn't matter anyway GIMMIE MY DRANK! read more

If you're from the area, you know all about Ringside's buckets! If you're unfamiliar with a bucket, think of the drink containers where you get homemade ice tea from the Chinese restaurants...those are buckets! Ambiance: Ringside is located right on Tonnele ave, so the area could get pretty busy at times because of traffic. From the outside it's a regular urban, trendy bar/chill spot. If you get to Ringside on a slower day (weekdays) you'll get a seat at the bar rather than in the back. If you want a personal table or a booth sitting in the back is your best bet but you better head to the bar to order your drinks and food. Table service isn't as quick as bar service. The bar area is long so lots of seating, theres plaques, pictures and a couple of TV's. You can dress like a supermodel or like you rolled out of bed, either way no ones judging you; it's really a chill place to unwind! They have a juke box where you can download an app to your phone and play songs from your seat which is the best because if you put on a song no one knows it was you LOL! Food/Drink/Price: For decent prices, they have a pretty good food and drink menu! Buckets range anywhere from 12+ depending on the liquor you get of course. I've had their shrimp parm on a roll, french fries, onion rings and rice with shrimp; all pretty good! My favorite drink is the ringside relax and call and Uber. Parking: Ringside has a small lot in the front and back. I suggest, on busier days, to take the street behind ringside to check the lot in the back first then if you don't find anything you can make your way to the front of the lot. Therefore, you're not going all the way around because it is a one way street. If you don't have luck there, you can park across the street where White Mana is. Service: Bartenders are always nice and have fun with you. On busier nights it is hard to even get their attention. Like I stated above, if you sit in the back you may get lost in the mix. Just order at the bar TBH. Tip: If you pay with card and your total is under $20 they will charge you $1. read more

I spent a lot of my younger 20s here hanging out. Great bar. Friendly staff that treat u like family once they see you a few times. Manny is awesome! The drinks here are huge. Come in a container with lots of alcohol! Huge menu of drinks with interesting names! The food here is good also and most don't know that or forget but if ur from the area u def know!!!! I order take out a lot! Garlic shrimp is my fave, every once in a while the shrimp are tough but I chalk it up to being very busy. I still come back and it's perfect the next time. U can give them a gentle reminder when u order not to over cook. Overall great spot to hang out. Some weekend nights it can get hectic and parking lot gets crowded. I prefer to come on a weeknight now that I'm older and boring lol. read more

This review is long overdue since I've had drinks from here so many times. The buckets do not disappoint! They're very generous with the alcohol and the flavors are on point. I've never eaten here but I've heard the food is also amazing. The bartenders are always nice and make sure to take care of of everyone quickly. The parking lot is small and it does get crowded later in the day especially on the weekends. If you're ever in the area stop by for a bucket. You won't be disappointed! read more

Ringside, Ringside, Ringside the love i have for this place is insane  . Its ambiance is a tad ratchet, the decor is  adorned with mike Tyson Memorabilia, the owner and mike Tyson are close friends so why not pay homage to one of the best. The food here is amazing portuguese style cuisine, the salmon is my favorite dish by far,  its fresh and hugely portioned.  I can honestly go on  for hours and write  about Ringsides unique decor and amazing food , but what makes Ringside a go to spot in Jersey city are their "INFAMOUS"  liquor  buckets(Chinese lg soup containers) the bartender "MANNY"  doesn't skimp on the liquor and pours up  really amazing STRONG drinks, you  can even take them to go!!! read more

Good fast food spot. Not really a traditional Portuguese restaurant . This is more of a chill and drink spot . They have good Hennycoolata and and good mashed potatoes. The calamari needs a bit of work because it is too chewy. However the mushroom chicken is great . read more

Best place to get a "strong" drink and filling bar food. Typical bar area which is plentiful enough where even a big crowd couldn't prevent one from ordering. Pool tables and and a sitting area are in the back. I've had many drinks on the menu and they're all quite strong. You. An also get them to go but it's advised for you to keep it in the bag. There's nothing classy about this place but it's a historical landmark. I'd highly recommend if you just need a 32 oz "juice" fix! read more

The food is SO good here! Portuguese style soul food with so much flavor and such low prices its ridiculous! We started with fried calamari because you can tell a lot about a place based off of this simple yet complex starter. It was tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside! Perfect for picky eaters, no tentacles! As an entree I had the garlic shrimp (outstanding) with broccoli and mashed taters. I had a sangria bucket along with it and angels literally sang from heaven every sip of the way!! My man had the skirt steak cooked perfectly with rice and french fries. The two-tone complimented his dish! Such a GREAT meal, I cant stop raving. It is a very neighborly place. Make sure you visit with someone who knows the place. read more

Obviously you come here for the drinks! The drinks are good and BIG. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and lots of locals and regulars. They have a full menu and this is where they didn't get it right. I had the spareribs and they were dry however my friend had the oxtails and they were DELICIOUS! I would go back to watch a sporting event or to have a loud night out with friends. The burgers looked good. The staff: EVERYONE was super sweet. When I sent my ribs back all they wanted to do was make me happy and serve me something else on the house. Sooo Sweet! Again not fancy just FUN. read more

Horrible customer service I order the " Akon Special" which is shrimp in garlic sauce with rice and broccoli I was very disappointed because the shrimps were not devained a big no no for me. I asked the waiter and his answer was we do not devain for the small shrimp only the big shrimp SMH!!!!! Are you serious what kind of answer was that. My friend had the chicken in mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes it was also horrible the mushroom sauce taste like straight up vinegar and the mash taste like pure salt yuk just disgusting Never again next time go to Algave in Elizabeth NJ. I will only go there for the drinks read more

First time ordering takeout from Ringside, I heard/read nothing but good things about their food. When I got home I found a hair in the rice. I've learned to try to not get grossed out (depending the type of hair) when it comes to finding hair in my food. So I decided to continue eating and as I'm going for seconds........I found a BEE in the salad! By the time I called back they were closed. I called back the next day and the lady who answered was a little rude. There was no manager or someone else I could speak with, I was told I had to go in person. We went in person and the owner apologized and gave the option of another order (like do I really want to eat from there after that experience...) or 1 drink because the total of the rice and salad was almost equal to the price of a drink. 1 drink?? What about the rest of the food that was left over that was thrown away? I am extremely disappointed because I really was enjoying the food. I ignored the hair which is still not ok and then finding the bee......NOT acceptable. A hair AND bee in once meal?! It just shows that they are not careful when preparing and packing the food. And to offer 1 drink because it "makes up" for the food instead of a few drinks or just refunding the money. Not acceptable. read more

This is one of my favorite spots! It looks like a sports bar but it's an awesome place to grab some grub or even a drink to go! They make HUGE drinks that you will satisfy anyone! Sangria, frozen drinks, or drinks on the rocks. And don't be greedy! They are strong! 1 is enough!!! If you are dining, anything in garlic sauce is a good choice! Mozzarella sticks and awesome too! Gets a little rowdy and crowded on the weekends and if sports are on, so just grab your stuff to go! Small parking lot so it gets packed quick! read more

If you know ringside, chances are you know them for one thing, buckets! This is the perfect pregame and/or lounge drink to have on a summer day. They have up to 42 flavors to choose from. My go to is the bay breeze which has vodka with pineapple cranberry, but my friends are huge fans of the call an Uber. They are very generous with the alcohol and size of the drink so it is well worth the $11-13. Totally recommend for everyone to try a bucket at least once, you won't regret it! read more

Very confusing on seating. First time visiting this location we didn't really know where to go. We had to ask the bartender. She told us we can have a seat in back and she would come take our order. She came in a decent amount of time and took our orders. I am so glad I came in already tipsy because The drink purple rain taste like Robitussin. Absolutely horrible. The sex on the beach was just ok. Definitely not worth the 12-30 bucks they cost. Advised by the bartender/waitress I ordered the garlic chicken. It was really really good and the salad which I ate on between the next 2 days was great. Unfortunately I have to take another star away because the bartender never came back to check on us. I had to flag another waitress down to get service then the bill. I added a note "Service has to be better" and according to my party when we left she went off screaming we not her only customers. I wish I would have heard it because I would have let her know I understand we not your only customers but we should feel like we are. At least come and check if we need anything. Another thing is it was super cold in the back. It wasn't that hot outside to be blasting the AC. I will return but only for a takeout. read more
