Went out for a trip to the east coast with my friends and this was the closest pub next to us. Amazing atmosphere, very welcoming staff and the environment was friendly. Food was good and we all tried darts for the first time which was really fun! We also lucked out and it happened to be trivia night which made it so much more fun. Will definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice local pub read more

Had a problem at this establishment but was resolved. Would recommend. Friendly people and good drinks. Always security at the door and all credit cards accepted read more

Great neighborhood spot. Everyone was friendly. The service was great. They have four televisions for me to watch weekend football, the news, and more. They even have the directv package which means Seahawks on Sunday's ( east coast games). NOO need to go into the city just come here. Glad I found this bar after the season before the playoffs and super bowl, but maybe I'll be coming here for the super bowl. I love my Seahawks and great bars. They have pool tables, darts, and the best part is they have my favorite beer; Mad Elf/Blue Moon/ even allagash. They have several beers on tap and defiantly made my Friday evening! After New Years not a lot of people, but it's always a different crowd someone told me. I meet Andy who was very friendly, ways checked up on me, even when he knew I was at my limit. I love that kind of service, I will be back. Check out the photos. Food; $6 - $9 bucks. I really want to try their burgers too, they didn't have any when I came in. This is only a few blocks from my house. I'm defiantly going to make this my neighborhood bar. read more

Great bartenders and the owner is a swell guy. You can sing karaoke some notes and they have a pool table

It was my first time in this bar. So far It has good vibes . It's really nice in calm place. Love it here. Prices are just right and the sweet bartender is very friendly and wonderful. It's a bar that's a must in my book lol. Trust me it's cheap and very friendly. And you might meet someone nice read more

Wonderful place to hangout for drinks the staff is amazing and the owner Sean is a true gentlemen been my hang out for several years know simply put best bar in town read more

It is about time for a review update. For those of you who have been following me on here, it is safe to assume that I am a huge fan of this place. I had the pleasure of meeting all the bartenders over the past two years and each and every one of them are absolutely wonderful. During the winter time, this is a head up, the bartender Lisa can make a great Hot Toddy that will warm you right up. The owner Sean---the best--words can not describe how nice he is. Large flat screen TVs---my sporting event haven---clean bar---serves bar food. On Thursday nights, it's all about Karaoke from 10pm until close. Soooooo much fun! The host Rose rocks. If you want to sing, show up early because it fills up quick. Also I must add, last year I had a surprise party for my boyfriend in the back--they have a private room if you need it---no extra charge you just need a certain amount of people to attend---Sean was more than happy to accommodate any and all off my needs and everyone who went had a blast! As a whole, I must say this the best dive bar in Hudson County, check it out! read more

I was looking like that place in my are and I found this place finally. It was my first time in here like 3 days, but I like this place . I go wild Rover pub every night. You should try their Guinness and also I like their pizza and allagas beer. read more

Great little local bar, friendly staff, and decent bar food. If you're looking for a place to unwind and watch some sports with your buddies this is the place to go. Thursday evenings are usually packed with people ready to slur the words to their favorite jams, yes you guessed it, Thursday is karaoke night! Try the buffalo wings and wash it down with some Yuengling or Magic Hat. read more

Spent a good chunk of my 20's there. Sean (the proprietor) is absolutely willing to harbor miscreants, so long as doing so lines his pockets. The second he deems you unprofitable, you are persona non grata. I knew better than to take this development personally. Unfortunately, he keeps a number of regulars dependent on his approval (it's a very weird scene), and you will eventually be turned away if you don't play in to his tyler-perry-esc freak show. Forget about karaoke night -- if you want to see "Weird NJ", this is it. read more

Honestly, really chill neighborhood bar. Can't speak for weekends but weekdays are pretty nice and laid back.

I just called to inquire about the open mics and this is what I was told "I'm not gonna go through the list. Why don't you come and see?" So much for customer service etiquette. We wanted to provide free entertainment for this place and hang out with friends but not anymore. read more

Since there is a lack of bars in the area, mainly after hours, this is my go-to when wanting to be close to home. The place is your typical pub with your locals and such. The owner Sean, is the nicest person ever and so is Lisa one of the other bartenders. There is karaoke on the weekends (or is it's Thursday?) The place is decently priced. There's really not much else to say about the place. Food is frozen. Large back room for pool as well as the small pool table up front. Want a drink late night in the area? This is your place. read more

I've recently started hanging out here again in the afternoons to watch the football games I missed on Sunday because they have a DirectTV package. Great place to watch a game be it football or soccer (read: REAL football!). Since the bar opens up ridiculously early, that's convenient for me, being a 3rd shifter and all. I used to be a regular before I moved and may very well become one again now that I'm back in the area. This bar is very inviting whether you're an early bird, happy hour/after-work drinks type of person or choose to come in late night. There's always some type of function happening there be it pool or dart league or karaoke and even an open mic night on Sundays. Moreover, being an Irish Pub, it's St. Patty's Day celebrations are second to none with traditional Irish corn beef and hash being served, Irish Dancers, a bagpiper and a never-ending free flow of Guinness from the taps, not to mention a wide assortment of other beers and micro-brews as well. Perhaps, the best Irish pub this side of the Hudson. Oh, and FYI: the pub is not in West New York. It's in the adjacent township of Guttenberg, NJ. (It shares the same zip code with West New York, in case you were wondering.) Set your GPS accordingly. read more

I'm not sure how I ended up here but it was a pleasant surprise. My boyfriend recently moved to the area so we went out couple weeks ago to explore the neighborhood and look for a place to have a drink. THe bartender was friendly and the drinks were big! What else do we need? We had couple of drinks and a very tasty chicken tenders! Not the best place in the world, a little too dark. But I will give 4 stars for the bartender's hospitality + good drinks w/ great price. read more

Fun time. Good music. Nice people. Pool table was nice Not overpriced Everyone was hAppy No one was sloppy or even really messy read more

Great local dive bar!! My boyfriend lives in the unfortunate town of Guttenburg and he loves this place for great priced drinks and some decent pool games. The food is all frozen so steer clear but all the bartenders have a heavy hand and poor pretty strong and delicious drinks! Gin and tonics are awesome and beers are great too!! read more

Called here on a Monday evening cause I needed to take my friend from FL out on the town... In NJ... On a Monday, this was a great choice, they have 90s music to sing along to, pool to play, jukebox to play with. The owner is your bartender (at least he was on this Monday) amazing service great time easy drinks!!! read more

This place surprised me. I came here a while back when my cousin first moved to Gutenberg and it seemed like typical local pub that might give you a buyback if you buy enough rounds. Last night I went and all of sudden they set up for an open mic, more geared towards musicians, which turned out to be awesome! Who knew... The only downside is the bartender was constantly outside with customers smoking a cig, not the most attentive service but it's the trade off with such a chill bar. read more

Great family owned bar. Close to home. The folks are friendly and inviting. The prices are very reasonable. Shawn, Lisa, Andy and Mary Grace are great people. Great for watching sporting events. read more

A perfect dive bar and I mean that in the very best sense possible. Andy is a great bartender serving potent potables at cheap prices compared to across the river. Darts, Pool, TV's, eclectic jukebox and a cast of locals. Perfection. read more

One of the better bars in the area. The bar area could get crowded at times, and the people might stink with BO, but isn't that what a regular bar is like? Anyways, I would recommend coming here for a informal gathering with friends. read more

Amazing locals, awesome atmosphere & music and great pizza (they get it from down the road). We were on vacation from California and stayed in North Bergen, and we really enjoyed this bar which was only a block or two away from our Air BnB. We definitely plan on coming back :) Their hospitality here was so welcoming, and we loved getting to know a few of the regulars :) read more

Always a consistent time, even if not a blast. Avoid karaoke night though... Unless you're really into it. Otherwise decently priced beers, good selection of drafts, and a quiet atmosphere makes for a quietly relaxing evening. read more

An excellent family run business and the owners have been nothing short of stellar in terms of professionalism and courtesy. Keep up the great work guys !!! read more

Typical pub with good beer & friendly staff. They have pool tables & a digital jukebox. The only drawback from this place is that there's never any parking. read more

Decent place! Everything you want in a dive bar. cheap drinks, pool, friendly staff. I can't complain. Great place to grab drinks and catch up with old friends. read more

This place has very unprofessional security to say the least. My experience with the security guard made me feel unsafe and was overall completely unreliable. One of the people in my group was intoxicated and approached the security guard to ask about why we were being carded if we had been there for hours. As my friend was leaving the conversation, the security guard yelled "F***YOU" and of course my drunk friend defended himself. I was in the middle of the both of them which in turn made me feel unsafe because the security guard was actively attempting to throw down to fight my drunk friend while sober and on the clock. Security guards are supposed to prevent fights, not start them. We did not cause any trouble in the bar and this can be proven on camera. The rest of the employees were extremely nice and helpful, the problem is the security guard, which is why our group of 6 will not be spending any more time or money on returning. I am fairly disappointed with the service as soon as the security guard started his shift. It was a good time other than that. He was very unreasonable and rude. It upset my group and I, we intended to have a celebration for a close friend's 21st birthday. We started off by playing pool and having a great time. My drunk friend decided to leave the bar for a quick cigarette and was carded as soon as he came back in. We all had to leave because the security guard started to disrespect us. We all were horrified by everything that happened afterwards, which is why we decided to write this same exact review. read more

Great local bar with friendly staff. Flat screens, pool, jukebox.

Lisa is such a sweet bartender and Sean is just as amazing! Both are warm, friendly and welcoming even though I am generally already drunk by the time I get there.. Had a fun night my first time there and probably got a bit too frisky, but the bartenders didn't seem to care.. Great place! read more

Been coming here for 5 years, and it's been nothing short of awesome. A pleasing selections of beers, and the inclusion of craft beers is welcoming indeed. Sean, Lisa, and Diana and the rest of the staff I don't get to see during daytime hours are amazing. Some of the nicest people around! Thursday is the main draw, as it's Karaoke on Thursdays! Show up, drink beer and drunkingly sing the hits, from the 50s, to the 2000s! As far as it goes for bar food, the chicken tenders with home made blue cheese, AMAZING! read more

Family owned pub for the locals, family is from Ireland but been living in the states for decades now. Sean is very pleasant, great attitutude all around, fair prices and close to home for me. They also have a package to show EPL games. read more

Drinks start flowing at 7 effin AM! Oh yeah-they have wi-fi in case you need to get some work done with your eye opener.
