The girls and I got together to catch up. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and seen the girls at the bar. Cat was our bartender and she was nice. They had happy hour that consisted of 1 taco and 1 beer/margarita for $10. I went with the shrimp taco and margarita. I wasn't feeling the margarita so I switched to the red wine. The shrimp taco came out and it looked good and it tasted ok. The owner treated us to a drink which was nice of him. I went with the lemon drop martini and the bartender had to go to the recipe book for the instructions. She made a face when she tasted it so I already knew I wasn't going to like it. I tried it and I didn't like it. I just stuck with the red wine. I will say the bill was affordable though.

Stopped in for a quick drink and it was great! Cat the bartender is fun and engaging. Excited to stop in again soon.

Cute tequila bar sandwiched between its sister restaurants ITA and carvao (just as good). Fun atmosphere with a fun cocktail menu. Short food menu keeps things simple and quick. Highly recommend !

Came here on a quiet Wednesday afternoon to grab a drink in peace. It's truly a dive bar vibe…read more Decent selection of drafts and a hip staff serving drinks. I enjoyed sitting near the window to get a glimmer of sunlight while responding to emails. Happy hour deals are not too bad either, though I didn't bother with any food. But definitely a lot of character and fun vibes to this place. I recommend residents, tourists, etc. to at least stop by for a drink.

I've been attending the Lucky 7 bbq-- both as a musician and in the crowd -- for over 5 years. I've…read moreseen it grow, evolve, and consistently deliver some of the most inspiring live performances in Jersey City. Dancing Tony is the best for keeping the JC hopping with music. But this year, a dark stain on that otherwise vibrant experience came from Lucky 7 bar itself. Let's be clear -- this wasn't just a case of being busy or understaffed. This was blatant, willful ignoring of anyone who didn't fit a very specific mold. Myself and several others waited patiently (and obviously) at the bar, cash in hand, only to be passed over again and again while bartenders prioritized regulars, deep-pocketed bros, and the kind of performative hipsters who drink PBRs out of obligation like their hot topic t-shirt to a punk band way beyond their years. What's worse: there was no acknowledgment, no "we'll be right with you," not even a glance. Just a pointed refusal to serve anyone who didn't register as familiar, flashy, or fashionable. Or, who knows what reason. We gave up after 15 minutes. Luckys is a great a dive bar that's lived through the different incantations of the JCs arts scene but the bartenders working during the festival this year, particularly the woman, worked with a particular set of blinders that you had to bow down to. Looking forward to next year but hopefully with better service inside the bar.

5 out of 5 Ambiance, Service and food all perfect…read more Came here with the girls! My second time here and a first for my friends We started with the crudo and the whipped ricotta and the carpaccio for me the whipped ricotta was amazing with the date syrup and the olive oil and the carrots gave it a perfect crunch I hope they never change it I had the Lumache omg what can I say but it was simply amazing so delicious my friend had the Mafaldine another amazing dish it had a smoky taste to it that was so yummy and my other friend had the special dish of the day which was the black bass fish she loved it We also tried the tiramisu which was a little dry for my taste but we also tried the Lemon Olive Oil Cake which in my opinion should be called Limoncello Cake because it has a very profound taste of lemon which reminds me of limoncello lol it was super moist and delicious a must try! Definitely will be coming back!

Food (5/5): The food is a bit expensive but it's quite delicious! I ordered the chicken katsu and…read moreour table shared the Whipped Ricotta and Scallion Pancake. The scallion pancake was a bit small but it was super delicious. The chicken katsu had an interesting tangy flavor and was nice and crispy. Service (4/5): Top notch service with super friendly staff. Really friendly waitress who was helpful and great! Only issue we had was we were asked if we wanted a bread refill for the Whipped Ricotta and we didn't know it's cost $5 which surprised us a bit on the check. Ambiance (5/5): Nice interior ambiance and super well designed restaurant. We walked by many times and got drawn by the beautiful interior which is why we came. Classy and nice vibe.

There's not a damn thing wrong with this bar…read more A low key dive operating on the same stretch of Newark Ave since time immemorial, Grape Vine is a place to sit down, grab a beer or mixed drink, and enjoy the ambience: cold air conditioning in the summer, a few TVs to stream games, and a rockin' jukebox. It's cash only, but at $5 for a pint (or $6 for a mixed drink), it won't do too much damage to your wallet

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.
