My favorite gallery - great selection of artists and they host amazing private events. I was there for an engagement ceremony once and for the investor event. They were very different but equally memorable. read more

Attended a Wiccan ceremony here . Feel in love with the vibe of it. Really beautiful art on the walls, the kind that actually made you think. Was very impressed with the selections . The event was hosted by Gourmet Witch (check her out on instagram and tell her I sent you) she made all of the delicious food and it all tied together so beautifully. I would really consider having a small affair here read more

This gallery is small, but it packs a punch. I've visited the gallery a handful of times now and have had the opportunity to check out a few different exhibits and I've loved them all. The space itself is perfect: intimate, bright white walls, perfect lighting and excellent art adorning said walls. The owner Al is pretty awesome and bends over backwards to give you a great experience. I like to add that Barsky Gallery is part of and really taking charge in the Hoboken Art Walk - check it out and support local arts! Overall, if you're looking for something different to do, stop by, have a glass of wine and check out some art. They rent out their space as well: what a great idea for engagement/bday/events! read more

Had our baby shower here last month. The venue's beautiful and Al's an amazing host! Highly recommend!! Al referred us to folks who've put together lots of events here previously - Hoboken Catering for food and wait staff / bartender, Cork for drinks, and WMF Events for decor. From booking to delivery to payment, everything went off smoothly. No surprises. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Separately, we'd ordered cake from Hudson Cakery and desserts from Creme Macarons. Thank you Barsky Gallery for being a part of our celebration! read more

I recently rented the Barsky Gallery to throw a cocktail-style party for my fiance's birthday party (which - surprise - was also our defacto engagement party). We had around 75 guests, around half of whom live in Hoboken, none of whom had been to the gallery, and all of whom were excited about this hidden gem in the back of town. There was ample space, even with a half-dozen cocktail tables set up around the room. Al coordinated the table and linen rentals as well as two staffers to work the bar and keep an eye on the spread; the party was an incredible success and I could not imagine the guest of honor having a better time. The rental for the gallery and Al's preferred party supplier was fair, and he is super-quick to respond via Yelp, phone, or email. Everyone who asked how I found the gallery was surprised to hear "A Google search led me to Yelp." If that's how you landed here too...you've come to the right place! read more

I don't know where to start! We spent 2 weeks looking for the right location for our engagement dinner before deciding to take a trip to see this location. We walked in and knew this was the perfect location for our event! After losing both parents I dreaded having to plan events like this and working with someone like Al made things alot easier for me. He helped us in soooooooo many ways at this point I consider Al to be a blessing. The space is cozy and full of class. Gorgeous art on the walls giving you the right amount of elegance needed while adding a great feel to any theme you may have. There's parking across the street which was very convenient for our guest. I will definitely recommend this location to everyone I know. I see myself having another event here by the way. Thank you Al, I wish you and your gallery much success you made my night very special. read more

What an amazing experience! I had my baby shower here and could not be happier. We got so many compliments on the venue and Albert was helpful the entire process. It was everything we dreamed of and the set up was wonderful. Highly recommend to everyone it really is a gem. read more

My husband hosted my Baby Shower at the Barsky Gallery, and our experience was really good. 1. Decor and Aesthetics - The gallery had art decor and amazing and rich painting on its walls. We just had to do minimalistic decoration - cover the tables, buffet tables with linens and decorate the tables with flowers & balloons. Overall, the place looked amazing and perfect for the shower 2. Space - It was spacious enough for our 40-45 guests. We had sufficient seating arrangements for almost 40 guests and the additional sofas and sofa chairs helped for the family members to relax. 3. Clarity about expenses - There were no hidden costs, our estimates and the final figures were exact. I really appreciated Al Barsky's candidness about all the upgrades and rental fees. 4. Help during the party - Al was always around during the party. He even helped us with the winding up and trash removal, which was really not expected from him. He never forced us to choose from his network of decorator or florists. His flexibility was very appreciated. 5. Location & Parking - It is located very conveniently from Hoboken Path station and there was no difficulty for our guests to park who came from far off distances, owing to a very economical parking space located just opposite the venue. We would really recommend this venue for any event or party. read more

My all time one of the kind favorite gallery right in the neighborhood !! Great attention to detail and elegance throughout the venue. Excellent environment to host one of the kind event!. A must to visit in Hoboken. read more

Perfect place to host a birthday party....I know as I hosted one for 25+ folks with all the bells and whistles. Al was amazing and helped coordinate a perfect 40th surprise party. He was always available and even gave me his mobile number to help.ensure.everything went super smoothly. Renting his amazing gallery was extremely reasonable for the space, and the private art viewing. I plan to host more parties there in the future and I am sure all my.guests would love to join in the festivities again!!! read more

What a great venue for a baby shower. Al is the owner and he was available to help setup prior to the event and was available throughout the day to answer questions. We had 3 six-foot tables setup for 8 people (24 seated comfortably) on one side and high tops on the other side of the venue. There are built-ins in the center of the gallery which were used as a bar and buffet. We also used another table for dessert and gifts. Everything fit nicely, with plenty of room for the guests to mingle. Very clean, accommodating and friendly. I would host another event here - it was great. read more

I just hosted my sister and her fiancé's Jack & Jill wedding shower at the Barsky Gallery this past Saturday and just had to leave a review. I could not have found a more perfect venue for my event. My sister and her beau are Hoboken residents (I am not), so of course I had to find a place in Hoboken to host their wedding shower for guests coming from both Brooklyn and suburban NJ. After some shopping around and many unanswered phone calls, I found that Al was the most responsive point of contact among all the private party venue managers in town. Here's someone who answers a phone/email and talks to you like a normal person! The venue rental fee was in line with many other spaces I was researching that accommodated my guest list of 40 attendees, and it wasn't hard to make my choice once I visited the gallery. Especially when I saw all the free parking on the street and in the lot across the way! The location's proximity to the train station and parking availability made the trip easy for both NYC and NJ residents to attend. The artwork is all beautiful, evocative, and uplifting. I saw 2 separate exhibits here, and one of the things I was worried about when booking the venue was that we wouldn't see the newest exhibit until the day of the shower. Apparently I had nothing to worry about since both exhibits I saw were colorful and mood-boosting, the colors offering a great contrast to the modern and minimalist black, white, and gray of the space itself. Al was also able to recommend a caterer he frequently works with (Hoboken Catering) who also did a splendid job, largely thru email beforehand and on the day of in my absence. I ran into some issues on the day of the shower (USPS would get a 2 star rating from me), leading me and my family to arrive around the same time the first guests were rolling in, but Al and our caterer had everything set up to perfection so it was all ready to go when we got there. All in all a very turn-key experience! Oh, and the best part? Several of my guests were impressed enough to say that it was the BEST shower they had ever attended. Do yourself a favor and visit the gallery. Also - I saw a check-in offer for a free glass of wine with your check-in when you visit! What could it hurt? read more

My time at the Barsky Gallery was amazing!!! My partner and I planned a Sip and See to introduce our new baby boy to our family and friends. We received so many compliments on the space and it had so much elegance from the art, to the layout of the gallery along with the overall vibe. The owner was such a big help, the place was spotless and well air conditioned ! The place had many amenities and I would totally book in the future! A great place for a range of functions!!! read more

This is a pretty awesome gallery. I came here for a Yelp event but was interested to come here when it first opened. The place was modern with a bunch of expensive art that I wish I could buy. It was a little warm in there but it could have been because there was a bunch of Yelp elites or the wine and champagne that was provided. There was plenty of space and I'm glad to see this art exhibit showcase local artists. It was like being in a mini exhibit at the MOMA. This is a well worth visit! read more

We had a launch party for Standrey.com here. AL was friendly and helpful when we initially visited the space. He was more than willing to make accommodations to suit our personal needs like move pictures, furniture l etc. He provided covered tables at no additional charge. And you can't beat the rental fee. He was more than helpful during the actual event which took place last weekend. He opened his office up to my staff and let them set up. He allowed us to play music from his personal computer and when the paid time was up he didn't rush us out the door. Actually told us to relax and continue to enjoy our event. Needless to say I would recommend Barsky Gallery to anyone looking to host an event and I will look to definately throw more events here. read more

We had our engagement party here (70 people) and it was simply fantastic. Everything was perfect - the space, the art and the location (not too far from the PATH train). The owner (Al Barsky) was overly accommodating and was at our event to ensure everything ran smoothly (which it did). And the price for the space was very reasonable. read more

I married the love of my life at Barsky Art Gallery this weekend with about 80 of our friends and loved ones! We followed it up with a cocktail reception. This was the perfect venue for event. It was elegant, fun, and cool all at the same time. Affordable as well for a wedding in the NYC metro area. Al Barsky, the owner of the gallery, was tremendous in making everything work flawlessly on our day. Thank you so much! If you are thinking about having an event here, I wouldn't hesitate at all. It will be wonderful. read more

Barsky Gallery - Loved celebrating our wedding at Barsky Gallery! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

My friend and I recently visited the Barsky Gallery as part of a Yelp Elite event and we were both really impressed with the space and the art on display. There was a wide variety of styles of paintings and there were even a few big books of watercolor paintings, sketches and lino prints. The space itself is clean and modern, with some seating in the form of contemporary white couches. The gallery is small enough to host an intimate event, but big enough that you can circulate around comfortably without bumping into things (or people). It's in a kind of industrial area, but is still easily accessibly and only a 15-minute walk from Hoboken's main drag. I would definitely recommend this gallery for something like a swanky birthday party or classy engagement party. Great vibe. read more

I held my Fiance's 30th birthday at Barsky Gallery and it was a hit! First off, the place is a hidden gem. All of our Hoboken friends had no idea the gallery is there. The place is beautiful, clean, and spacious enough for a gathering. We had about 30 people and brought in all of our own food and drink. Albert, the gallery owner, is fantastic! He is extremely easy to work with and such a great guy. Albert even let my parents and in-laws in early to set up and helped break everything down at the end of the night. If you are looking to have an event in Hoboken, definitely check out Barsky. I went to numerous bars in the area (Brass Rail, Carpe Diem, Biergarten, Grand Vin, to try to find somewhere to host the party and nothing compared to Barsky. My Fiance had a blast along with our family and friends. Definitely a 30th birthday everyone will always remember. Thanks, Albert! read more

Nothing but great things to say about Barsky Gallery! I hosted a client appreciation party for about 50 guests and it was a major success. We got to the Gallery to setup and Al had already arranged all the tables for us. The space was cleaned, heated and the music was already playing. The energy in this space is fantastic! All my guests were extremely impressed with the art and the atmosphere of the venue. I will definitely host another event here! read more

My wife recently reserved space at the gallery for a family gathering. She advised as follows: "The owner, Mr. Barsky, was absolutely accommodating and even helped us bring in items for set-up. The site itself was beautiful and the art added to the atmosphere. Our family members - 40 in total - all found the setting comfortable and perfect for mingling. We would definitely host another event at this gallery." read more

My wife and I had our baby shower at Barsky Gallery this past Sunday. Al, the proprietor and namesake of the gallery, was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and accommodating, and let us decorate the space as we saw fit. We had about 60 guests at our party, and the space still felt very open and free-flowing. The venue rental fee is more than reasonable, and you can even rent bar stools, folding chairs and tables from a rental company Al works with. Highly, highly recommended! read more

A fantastic event space! I had my jungle themed baby shower here and everyone left saying how classy it was and how incredible the space was - its definitely a hidden gem in Hoboken. The owners Al and Vee are very easy to work with and hugely accommodating. Not only did they coordinate with both my husband and sister for weeks leading up, including a great assist with the table set up to fit our ever growing crowd, but as I was late (per usual) they even dreamed up a jungle playlist and had it playing for my guests until I got there with the actual playlist. The bartender and assistant they recommended were a great help during and after the party, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again! Honestly, my husband and I can't wait for another excuse to throw a party just so we can head back and introduce more of our friends to the space - it was PERFECT! read more

Had my bridal shower over here yesterday. Such an adorable and elegant place to have special events. The owner will even come to ask you what kind of music I want played. The space and bathroom are really clean. Highly recommended if you have to host a birthday, bridal shower or baby shower. read more

It's a lovely gallery. Very intimate with exceptional art work displaced through out. The space is also great for hosting events. A friend of mine hosted an anniversary party for her start-up and it was very enjoyable. read more

I hosted my daughter's Bridal Shower at the gallery last month. Everyone commented on how unique the venue was. Al Barsky was very extremely helpful in every way. We had approximately forty people in attendance and there was plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably. I would definitely recommend this venue for anyone hosting a small affair. read more

I was here for a Yelp Elite White Party event, as my friend's +1. I love little local spaces, and this place did not disappoint. They had some really beautiful pieces of art. The director said about 50% of what they display is from local artists, which I think is great! read more

Great gallery in Hoboken with industrial feel outside. I really liked Ksenia Sapinkova's water painting. I bought one print and plan to go back to get some more. They have wide variety of contemporary art, curator Al was very helpful and knowledgable. They do rent the space for the party as well. Nice art venue in Hoboken!!! read more

Can't say enough great things about Barsky Gallery! We hosted my baby shower there and it was perfect. We got so many compliments on the space and Al was phenomenal to work with. Very accommodating, always available to answer questions and even helped us get all setup and cleaned up! Space was clean and had plenty of room for our guests to mingle around. Really was a great experience. Would highly recommend. read more

What a lovely space! Who knew that this was even here? A small but well organized, clean, and modern space to display some fantastic artwork for sale. The owner was kind enough to have us here for a Yelp event and everyone was very accommodating and kind. The art work is definitely expensive but art, as I understand it, is an investment so why not start by supporting local artists? I enjoyed the flip books, also, so you could really spend some time carefully looking at more than just the wall art. Worth checking out, for sure. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Boken, right off Observer Highway. They owners/staff are very night. The art on the walls and on display is superb. It's a wonderful place to hold an event, like an engagement party, or something. It's a 5 star setting, but it's extremely small, which is why I only gave it 4. If you live in Boken, go visit Barsky!!!!! read more

Al was amazing! He was ALWAYS available. He was extremely helpul and resolved any minimal concern about the party. He always had a solution and awesome suggestions that made my party the talk of the town. All the beautiful paintings and the art makes the venue exotic and elegant. You dont need anything more! Al Barsky is fantastic! I don't have the words to describe how wonderful Al was during the process of arranging the party as well as during the event itself!!! Also is a convenient location! Definitely I will be renting this venue again! read more

Last weekend, I threw a bridal shower for my friend at Barsky Gallery for about 30 people. We served hors d'oeuvres, an entree, and dessert (buffet style). The experience was nothing shy of perfection and I give Al (the owner) lots of credit for this. The gallery's well-curated artwork provides a stunning backdrop and you can do a little or a lot with the floor space to make your event special. Having the event at an art gallery provided a unique spin on a traditional event. I got tons of compliments and everyone loved the venue choice! Al was so patient and helpful with my questions and requests- especially regarding the table and chair set-up, food vendors, and music. He happily accommodated my last-minute additions and even responded promptly while he was out-of-the-county on vacation. I can't say enough great things about Al's professionalism and poise and the passion that he has for his gallery is evident. I am already thinking about how I can host another event at Barsky Gallery. If you are on-the-fence about renting the space, run to visit the gallery (or just take my word for it) - it will impress! read more

This past weekend, my fiancé and I had our baby shower here (50 people) at the Barsky gallery and it was fantastic! Al ( the owner) is a great person to work with! He's very responsive and answered all my 100 questions about the set up of the baby shower. He set up the rentals for us and we were able to bring our own food and decor to the art gallery. On the day of the shower, Al helped during set up and was present to make sure that everything went well and assisted when he was needed! This was such a pleasurable experience for my fiancé and I , and we will definitely use this beautiful space again in the future! Thank you Al! read more

We hosted a Chanukah party at Barsky Gallery last month. Not only did our guests all comment on how much they loved the gallery but Al, the owner, was amazing from beginning to end. He helped with the planning, set up, and during the event. He was very accommodating, professional, and full of creative but practical ideas and solutions. He has a great sound system built into the ceiling and whatever furniture we needed in-house (rent-free!), both of which made our lives a lot easier. Last but not least, there was free parking across the street - unheard of in Hoboken! Thank you, Al! I am looking forward to hosting future events at the gallery and would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice event space in Hoboken. read more

My wife rented the Barsky for my 40th birthday. I didn't want a huge party with a dj as I'm not the big party type. The Barsky Gallery is a great space for a private event and Al was very accomadating to our needs. Our guests enjoyed the current exhibit and it is very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this space for a private event. Al, we thank you for your hospitality and the great recommendation with the caterer and we look forward to hosting an event in the near future. read more

We rented the space for a baby shower and it was beautiful and elegant. Parking is available on the street and a parking lot right across from the gallery. The manager was extremely helpful and available for us anytime we had questions. It's an affordable space to rent for private parties. I recommend it to everyone. read more

Had my wife's 30th birthday surprise at Barsky Gallery this past Saturday. From the booking all the way to event execution working with Al was a complete pleasure. I used Al's recommended caterer (who did an amazing job - Hoboken Catering) and ordered liquor from Sparrow wine. Al was an incredibly helpful host and the setup of the event was perfect. The ease at which to get the event setup with the Barsky Gallery team and knowing that everything would be perfect when I arrived really helped take a lot of pressure off me while trying to get the surprise to work. Overall couldnt be happier with the event space, the treatment we received and the entire booking process. Hoping to be able to host an event there again soon and thanks again Al! read more
