Incredibly friendly staff. Neighborhood bar atmosphere in a bigger city. Try the wings!

Excellent stop after being trapped in NY traffic before the tunnel. We enjoyed some nice beers and sat outside. Had great vibes. Loves the Bitburger Pilsner and the Birdsmouth Lager. Brussel Sprouts with Bacon 9/10 Sweet Thai Chili Wings 8/10 Chicken Sando 8/10 had a little kick If we're ever in the area, I'd stop by again! read more

This was my first time at Ed&Mary's and wanted to check this spot out for dinner. Walked in and it had an old sports bar vibe. Got the spinach dip with chips which surprised me... I expected some warm cheese spinach dip and it was anything like that . Then for wings which were great order the 1lb Carolina gold barbecue. The wings were very good, I enjoyed them. Then we got a chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. The fries were way too salty. The service was okay the bartender's attention was with the bar they just had one person working the bar and being a waiter. The place was also very loud and not great for sitting and talking. 3.5/5 read more

Really fun divey bar with a bit if a flare. Food is good and reasonable. I like the wings a lot here. Incredibly affordable drinks. Even on friday nights they have $5 drink specials so ask. Maybe 4 tables and bar seating, small section in the back read more

I've been here twice now, and unfortunately, I haven't been particularly impressed either time. On my first visit, I ordered the buffalo cauliflower, which I found overly sauced and it just didn't hit the mark. During my second visit, the experience was again underwhelming. Despite ordering very simple dishes, we ended up waiting well over an hour for our food, which made the meal feel more frustrating than enjoyable. I will give them credit for being dog-friendly on the patio as that's always appreciated. But overall, the food and service haven't been enough to bring me back a third time. read more

We came in today to leave a flyer for the event we're holding and the staff was so nice! She was super friendly and offered us water. We ended up having brunch here and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious, we got the crispy chicken sandwich and the Cesar salad from the brunch menu. The chicken had a Smokey seasoning, with the perfect amount of heat. The bun the had toasted cheese, bacon and pickles too. Now for the salad- very good portion size, the croutons were seasoned similarly to the chicken, and we also added grilled chicken to ours. It was fresh and I recommend. This place is EXTREMELY dog friendly- there were about 6 pups out on the patio, even dog treats and water replenishment. We loved the decor, they represented so many other small businesses such as breweries. read more

One of the best Guinness I've had in America. The bartenders and food are always great. The perfect neighborhood bar.

What a fun bar! We came on a Tuesday around 9:45 just before they stopped serving food. We played darts, doted on a pup, and browsed the jukebox while waiting for our food. The Nintendo was occupied this time, but the folks playing it seemed like they were having fun. Our impossible burger was impressive--cooked perfectly and served with ultra fresh veggies. I mean that onion was CRISP. And the sauce on the honey butter Brussels could be eaten by itself with a spoon. read more

Ok... I NEVER give 5 stars. But... this time i was compelled... maybe by the excellent Fish&Chips, or the damn good Pacífico beer (recommended by the supa- fun and "On Point!" waitress), but this place was a nice Surprise at 11pm on a Monday night. They have the whole Halloween theme going and Scream was on Screen. Nice crowd. Food was FIRE!! Know how crazy it is when even simple dishes Could be mediocre at best, but they rocked it! Chicken sandwich/aoli, etcetera etcetera YUM! I truly appreciated that "love" after returning from New York to see my elderly mom. It was destiny that we rolled up on this spot after such a long day. I didn't take pics, but trust Me. Parking? Always a challenge in this area. Bike it. Hike it. Check it! read more

I continue to love this place! Their burgers are so big and delicious. They put plenty of fresh veggies on them. The fries on the side were good. I liked the way they were cooked this time and the salt on them. Last time my friend got the fries I didn't like them. The wait service here is always so friendly. They had a block party on Saturday with some other vendors and music and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy a burger. Also they gave the wrong size of a drink we ordered. I let them know and they brought a whole new one! I will continue to frequent. read more

There's seating inside and out. We went for dinner and sat inside. They did not like that we didn't order any alcohol with our meal. The food wasn't bad, but not great either. I asked for some ice with my water and the server insisted I should be happy with chilled water, then told me to get up and get the ice myself. My friend got fish and chips and I'm pretty sure they were just Gordon's frozen fish filets from the freezer section. read more

This place is a beautiful neighborhood-nook! You gotta check it out! MY partner and I visited and were delighted to find an expansive outdoor seating section, with even more room inside. The inside of the restaurant is tastefully decorated. It feels like a quaint, cozy pub. The bar room has terraced table-seating, as well as a long bar with plenty of seats. There are many drink options, including THC options! Very happy to see this variety. It took a bit to have our drink order taken, but I liken it to the work flow of the establishment. It seemed the servers were collectively working the whole restaurant. I am okay with this, I just wish they were more regular about checking in with tables, especially when they don't know who previously visited the table, and when. We ordered the burrata as a little snack before we continued our walk. The toast and cheese were delicious, but the fig was a bit odd. I think it may look nicer, taste better, and potentially be more cost-effective to serve a small portion of fig jam with the burrata. The solid pieces of fig were just unappetizing, and a disrupting texture in the dish. Nonetheless, we enjoyed ourselves. The sandwiches on the menu looked delicious, and I would be elated to return and try them! read more

The service here is great! Went on Super Bowl Sunday and figured it would be packed but went anyway.. it was but not too crowded. Rachel helped us and was super friendly about finding us an area to stand and eat. We ended up asking if we could go out and eat and she said of course and then she went in and turned the tv on for us so we could watch the Super Bowl outside if we wanted. It was sooooo sweet cus we figured we'd eat outside and maybe go back in to watch the game. Anyway, she went above and beyond multiple times and she was soooo friendly. It seems like so many locals go here and people know each other.. love it cus it really seems like it's part of the community and everyone is so kind. Didn't take pics of food cus I forgot.. they had a deal for wings 5 for $5 So we got Buffalo, bbq, and destroyer All were good We also got the cubano with fries and it was really good. A little odd that it was on a soft cloudy sub roll but still good. Will def be back. Service and food are good and price is good too. Also I heard the menu is not the same so no Irish breakfast. BUT they do occasionally bring things back. follow their ig for update and deals @ednmary Or I'm sure the online menu is accurate too... cus online def showed a more limited menu Parking: street Water: they have a cooler with cold water and plastic cups :) super convenient read more

Love this place! We're Brooklyn transplants who are slowly discovering spots in Jersey City and we highly recommend the food and drinks here. they're waitstaff are so nice, know the menu item quality and have great personalities. Even though we don't have pets, this restaurant is very doggy friendly!! It's a nice and quiet spot also with great outdoor dining space. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was just right. My partner had a fresh cubano sandwich and the bread was so crisp and just the right texture. Also their cocktails are really refreshing! Will be going back for sure! read more

Because we could not score actual tickets to the Taylor Swift Concert during Memorial Day weekend, we decided to go a Taylor Swift themed brunch at Ed & Mary's that weekend. They went all out with t swift drinks, meals, balloons, and a cardboard cutout of hers truly. This was my first time at Ed & Mary's - everyone working there was super friendly. It's not a big place inside, but they have a good amount of outdoor seating. They are super dog friendly and many people showed up with their pups. It's very casual but the drinks and food were really good. I can understand why this is a popular local spot for folks in the Hamilton Park area. I'd definitely come back here for food and drinks outside. read more

Ed and Mary's is my kind of relaxed bar in Jersey City. I have visited a few times to play darts and always have a good time. The outdoor seating is great, especially if you have a dog, all the staff are so friendly and bring water to your table. On my last visit I had the caprese sandwich and really enjoyed it. The bread, cheese, pesto, tomato proportions were spot on and the good quality ciabatta bread really made the sandwich stand out. This is such a common vegetarian option on menus, it is nice to see it done really well! Service was also great, our server was so nice and welcoming. Drink wise I enjoyed the pretty gin and grapefruit cocktail on the menu. read more

We don't live in Jersey City but happened to be there on a failed JC Penny photo shoot lol. Anyway it was the perfect fall day and decent, pretty walk to Ed & Mary's from the mall. The inside was a bit too loud for my taste that morning, but the neighborhood was beautiful and the staff let us sit at the tables outside. The friendly waitress made amazing recommendations and we had just the perfect meal. I got the lobster roll, my boyfriend got the shrimp n grits and breakfast sandwich. We also got this Irish coffee thing called Daddy Juice or something. read more

Thank you Rachel for above and beyond impeccable service. She was the only bartender and server on football Sunday. We waited 5 mins for our food. Excellent. The food wasn't AMAZING but I love that I was able to go watch my BOYZ and order a healthy option- the Brussels Caesar salad w/ grilled chicken. It was very tasty. A little heavy on the dressing but still good cuz I'm trying to unbig this here back of mine. My dad don't care about his back so he got the Texas nachos. I had a little taste and they were DELICIOUS! Here's why I love Rachel for real though- I first had the Newark style cider and wanted to try the farm style. She gave me an in-depth description of the taste and asked me what I like, and she said try it. I said bet. I tried it- loved it!!! Thank you again Rachel. I can't wait to go back because the ambiance is so friendly and calm. All of the games were on so that was even more of a plus. If you're ever in JC- check this place out!! read more

Ed & Mary's - Outside seating - American Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

A refreshing neighborhood divebar with a fun jovial antagonistic ambiance, decent beer selections and a cabin ambiance. Will definitely be returning. Whether I'm allowed in is another matter hahah. Ed the owner is great fun and worth attending for his good natured banter, beer selection and low-key atmosphere. Ordered fish and chips takeout, and the chips were excellent. It wasn't too late but I suspect the kitchen may have been rushed or not concentrating as the batter on the decent sized portions of fish was expresso colored.... or burnt in other people's language. Gyro was excellent though. The outdoor seating in spring and summer looked appealing everytime we rode our bikes past, and I dare say I'll be back a few times now that I've taken the plunge. Probably not the place for preppy kids or girly brunches... read more

One of the best neighborhood watering holes around. Great service. Great food. Great drinks. Always a good time here.

Nice time at Ed & Mary's on a Sunday afternoon. We ate outdoors and had our beagle dog Bentley with us. The waitress brought a fresh bowl of water for Bentley as we sat down at the table. The food was great and the service was fast and friendly. I recommend the place. read more

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon for lunch. 3 of us. Sat outside where their are 4 picnics like tables, which are all under a canopy. Also outside are 6 to 7 round small 2-3 person metal tables. Inside is a bar and whatvlooked like a few tables. We ordered a few beers and a freshly made unsweetened tea. Sandwiches were 2 KFC Sandos, fried chicken, cucumber, coleslaw, and kim-chi aioli on a sesame brioche bun along with one Cubano, 15hr slow cooked pork, ham, swiss, pickles and mustard on ciabatta. Along with the sandwiches, we had 2 orders of french fries, which was more rhan enough for the 3 of us. Sandwiches were all tasty and large in size. Service was slow at the beginning but after that service was very good. Drinks and food came to about $60. A very extensive beer list for the humans, along with water bowls for the puppies. Would go back again. read more

Stumbled upon this wonderful little restaurant after taking our pup to the park. They have outside seating which was awesome! We were immediately greeted by our waitress Erin. She brought our dog a treat and greeted him as well. We happened to stop in during brunch so we ordered a few things off the menu. We got the cauliflower, the Brussel sprouts, chicken wings, and a quesadilla. Everything was packed with flavor. The Brussel sprouts were buttery and crunchy. The cauliflower was drizzled with buffalo sauce and just perfect. The chicken wings were on the smaller side but sooo delicious!! They were kind enough to allow us to have half Buffalo sauce and have thai chili sauce on the wings. We had to order another round, they were so tasty! Finally, the quesadilla was packed with chicken and cheese with a light crunch. To drink we had froses, definitely perfect for a hot summer day. All in all, we absolutely loved this restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food fresh and delicious. We also found out that Ed & Mary live right above the restaurant which I found adorable. I would return here in a heartbeat! read more

Cheers to Ed and Mary's for taking over the convenient but forgettable 9th and Coles. The interior has been cozied up quite a bit; walking inside, you get the feel of a well aged neighborhood pub - friendly staff, good music, and a great beer selection. I came in on a balmy Saturday night and grabbed a seat at the bar for dinner. The menu has your pub staples (wings, fried stuff, burgers) with modern touches (a fine selection of grilled cheese sandwiches). Their fish and chips plate isn't to be missed: crisp whitefish fresh from the fryer with malt vinegar and a homemade tartar sauce, paired well with a bottle of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (not many neighborhood pubs offer up a fine barleywine). The vibe and the prices make Ed and Mary's worth repeat visits read more

unclear why anyone would want to come to this towny establishment? if you want to be verbally abused by the owner Ed - this is the bar for you! I was lured here with several of my girlfriends last week, and was completely taken back by how aggressive the owner Ed was towards the local patrons at the bar. He was clearly belligerent, and picking fights with anyone that would talk to him and his high noon and white claw. at one point, he was very aggressive towards one of my girlfriends: making fun of her outfit, her appearance and physical looks etc. she was so taken back, that she thought it was a joke....but then one of bartenders even had to hold him back because he began to lunge towards her! It was chaotic, and insane. If this is your idea of a good time, be sure to stop by for their warm beer, terrible service, towny ambiance, and a belligerent experience with Ed. if you are lucky, you might even get a punch to the face! read more

We just took our new adopted puppy to brunch for the first time and this was the perfect location. It's very dog-friendly and is in a beautiful area with a welcoming atmosphere. The drink and food prices are very reasonable compared to the city and the service and food came quickly. The chicken sandwich I order was delicious with a crispy bread and great salad as the side. My wife's tacos had a really good chipotle mayo but the eggs were too brown and it was missing some toppings, which is the only reason why we gave it a 4 instead of 5. Overall I really recommend this place and will definitely be back. read more

Bad service, warm beer, poor food. Probably the worst place you could find yourself. But hey, don't take my word for it. Here's an exact quote from one of their servers: "If you are expecting good service then this is not your place. We're just a bar with cheap drinks with intellectually limited staff." Yes, the drinks are cheap but the beer from the tap was warm. We went on a Wednesday for trivia and got there about an hour before so we could grab a seat and eat. We ordered mozzarella sticks and they were still cold in the middle (how could you mess that up, like really?). It was a pretty hot day and they didn't have the air on so it was disgusting hot inside. Combine that with warm beer and it was just a miserable experience. With trivia starting at 8, we left at 7:55, deciding that we'd literally rather be anywhere else. read more
