Jersey City

Jersey City, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, has built a real nightlife scene of its own in recent years - BarFinder lists 123 venues here, led by classic bars and sports bars, with a deep bench of cocktail bars, pubs, and lounges behind them. Local spots like Barcade (a bar built around vintage arcade games), Departed Soles Brewing Company, and Greene Hook Bar and Kitchen reflect a scene that's grown well past its old reputation as just Manhattan's commuter neighbor. From Abbey's Pub to District Lounge, Jersey City's bar scene now holds its own against the city across the river.
