    The ambiance of the place was very familiar. You could tell there were regulars in the lounge. In a sense it was like, "CHEERS". The music started out very old school but gradually may its way to the 90s and 2000s. It was a vibe to say the least. I'd definitely fo back. The food was okay. I don't remember too much about it. The drinks were great!

    I knew about this place and was so excited to be invited to join them for dinner and drinks. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted! The place was super cute! I sat at the bar and got great service from Yakina and Esh the bartenders! I started with a yummy red sangria followed by a vodka martini. For my meal I for the grilled shrimp, mac and cheese and spinach. At first, the shrimp was a little salty, but they the cook fixed it real nice. I really enjoyed the spinach and mac and cheese! As the evening went on, the DJ came, and he was great! I really enjoyed my time!

    Ambience: It's LOUD; but because of the vibes and music I still highly recommend in a setting where you aren't maybe having a FIRST date that requires a ton of talking. This is more like a second, third, ect date place; a group place; or if you wanna just go somewhere with club vibes. It's beautiful inside! Service: Our server was the bartender, she was very sweet. Food: THE FOOD IS WHY YOU MUST MUST MUST COME. Everything was full of flavor. My bae said it was the best catfish he'd ever had. Finally, I found a new go to wing spot. The mac and cheese was wildly cheesy and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes, didn't have gravy and I can fully say didn't need it-- so creamy, garlicky, and delicious.

    I had the opportunity to come here to execute to do a tasting for the owner's birthday. The celebration here was impeccable epic to say the least, not to mention the food was amazing. The owner and the staff was very nice and provided us with the space and respect to execute this tasting to the best of our abilities, thank you guys can't wait to be back

    I had the pleasure of dining here for brunch with a friend and I had a blast. The staff, the food, the service. Everything was a 10/10. We started off with the brunch carafes, We Had a Time Last Night and BTW Friends, and I believe the last was a bit better- the first was a little too sweet. Either way, they were both really good, but could use a lot less ice. Now. The food. My gosh. I don't think I've ever had soul food like this before, and this was just breakfast! First things first, the eggs were scrambled with cheese to perfection, the home fries were seasoned well and fried crispy as suggested, the beef bacon! Yum. I had my own reservations regarding the salmon cake though, but I'm beginning to realize that perhaps I'm just not a fan of them. The pancakes had that perfect crisp on the edges, and so did the French toast. The grits could have been a bit more creamier, but the seasoned shrimp definitely made me overlook it. Overall, this was a top tier breakfast/brunch and will forever be in my book of recommendations. If you haven't been here yet or are hesitant, don't waste any more time and check it out! Follow @guchieats for more visuals of the vibe.

    Definitely visit! This place doesn't look like much from the outside but the food and service are everything! Local spot with what looks like locals who visit. Reminds me of the after hour spots in my own hometown but with bar and flat screen tvs. It was cute, cool and clean inside and the food was amazing! We ordered mostly appetizers to share and the mimosas and three shots of tequila. The bill came to just a little of 100 and there was plenty of parking in the area.

    As someone who loves a good rooftop moment, I had to check out Rooftop at Exchange Place during our…read moreJersey City trip, and visiting on Juneteenth turned out to be the perfect choice. The weather was absolutely ideal -- warm enough to enjoy being outside but still crisp, with very little humidity. Basically, rooftop weather perfection. The biggest draw here is, without question, the view. The space itself is beautiful, with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, but seeing the Manhattan skyline illuminated at night is what makes this place special. It's one of those views that reminds you why people romanticize New York and the surrounding area so much. They offer a full food menu, although it appeared to be available primarily for guests seated indoors. The outdoor area seemed to focus more on drinks and lighter bites. Just know before you go: this is definitely a splurge spot. Everything is priced at a premium, so prepare yourself accordingly. Unfortunately, the service experience got off to a rough start. Both the security staff and hostess came across as unwelcoming and not particularly friendly. Whether they were overwhelmed or simply having an off night, it didn't create the best first impression. My biggest disappointment, however, was the restroom situation. By around 9:30 p.m., the bathroom was already in pretty terrible condition. Honestly, it was hard to believe it had deteriorated that much in just a few hours, and it gave the impression that it may not have been properly cleaned earlier in the day. Overall, Rooftop at Exchange Place delivers exactly what most people come for: spectacular views, a beautiful atmosphere, and an unforgettable skyline backdrop. Just be prepared for premium prices, a potentially lukewarm welcome, and hope that someone has checked on the bathrooms before you arrive.

    Have been to this location for the 4th of July in the past and was beyond excited to go back again…read more I was deeply disappointed and angered by the way management managed the influx of reservations and walk ins. I had an 8:30 reservation and arrived 30 minutes prior (according to their strict directions via text). I waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes and only received a wristband as the fireworks were going off and after arguing with the manager Jude. He consistently let walk ins in before dealing with any reservations. We also paid 35 dollars in advance. Once I got up to the rooftop, I was informed I would have to wait longer as they were kicking people out of our table. I asked to speak with a manager and again was forced to wait 35 minutes and witnessed a hostess quit mid shift. I do want to note, while waiting in line, a kind security guard informed me that the manager was letting people in who were late to their reservation. For example, a couple came at 8:00 for their 7:15 reservation and were let in. This was a horrible experience and will never be back. I understand the craziness of the 4th of July but this could have been avoided. Do not spend your money here, there are plenty of amazing places in Jersey City. Check out District! We went there instead and it was 10/10.

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.

OVERALL I've officially adopted Grape Vine Tavern as my area dive bar! The prices were cheap and the pace was relaxed, but it was the quick acceptance I felt with the four local gentlemen and Miguel when I first settled in. Plus, you were allowed to bring your own food. And, I always loved supporting small businesses whenever possible. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $36.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). Sadly, they were a cash-only establishment, so they certainly didn't accept my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
