We are from New York City. As soon as we came in, it was pretty lit. DJ was already there bar was full so we sat at a table you come in and you can seat yourself. Took a minute for a server to come to us. I'm assuming that the bartenders are the servers so we got a menu from the bar and eventually somebody came over to take our order. Her name is Niki. I started with a sangria and my best friend got a jumbo margarita for $15 mind you we only had an hour for happy hour so we definitely will be back because we didn't have enough time to try all the different drinks on the happy hour menu. We also got two shots of Don Julio reposado for $11 which was unhappy hours as well really good really strong drinks were on the sweeter side which I personally like and then we ordered food. I got the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls 10 out of 10 and then my best friend got two beef empanadas for $10 after that I got a seven piece jerk chicken wing dry basket for $15 we split our bills so my bill came out to $86 and then I think I tipped like $20 and then my friend's bill came out to $76 so it's definitely on the more expensive side but we missed happy hour so that definitely does make a difference I also got the Hennessey sidecar drink which was $18. They have hookah by the way we were sitting next to these ladies that were so nice. They were like letting us eat their food. It was actually wild. They gave us a really good idea if we would want to order something for the future we got to try the catfish bites also 10 out of 10 recommend this place is a vibe and they have a ton of specials daily. We will be back. They also do breakfast in the morning so I'm excited to like see what the brunch looking like.

We'll be back, and we'll be hoping to have Jonathan as our server again.

Great for couples and large groups alike!…read more As a hungry vegetarian, I wish I would have known earlier about what a hidden gem. This restaurant is for my dietary preferences. I must've passed by this place hundreds of times in the years I lived around here, but I thought it was more of a comedy show and and a hangout for the local corporate folks around here after work. One day we came here and I was shocked to see the variety of vegetarian options. The first time I came here I had the impossible burger and they also have a vegetarian burger as well. They also had a fried rice with lentils and broccoli. It was very healthy and I didn't sense the fried in the rice. Today we went there and I had a Santa Fe salad with extra tofu and it was very good. The prices are fair and the desserts are amazing. The manager and everyone from the whole staff are amazing and ask for Alex and he will hook you up with fantastic service. I am looking forward coming here for a comedy show as I bet. It will be freaking awesome.

It was a full afternoon of food and drinks, and the kind of event where a lot of moving pieces have to come together for it to actually work. JP was the reason it worked. What stood out most wasn't the drinks. It was the kids. There were a lot of them, running around, excited, in the middle of everything. JP knew every single one of them by name before the afternoon was half over. Not in a performative way. He just made a point to learn who they were and made them feel like they belonged there as much as anyone else. He was checking in on them, getting them what they needed, keeping them engaged. Parents noticed. Everyone noticed. Beyond the kids, he was everywhere. Anticipating what people needed before they asked. Moving fast without ever seeming rushed. Making sure nobody was waiting, nobody was forgotten, and everybody was having a good time. The food, the drinks, the whole flow of the afternoon, it all ran smoothly because JP was paying attention to all of it. My sister-in-law's celebration was exactly what it was supposed to be. A big part of that is JP. If you are booking an event here, request him specifically. You will not regret it.​​​​​​​​​​​​

My fiancé and I came here a couple of Fridays ago around 8 at night and there was ONE - ONLY ONE woman serving the entire place! She was bartending, serving food and she was the cleaner. How can a business allow this on a FRIDAY night!!! I had chicken fingers and French Fries and the servings were super tiny! Not to mention, our food had been ready waiting for 10 minutes and the waitress - because she was alone - took 30 minutes to get our food to us. My fiancé had the meatball parm, which was actually in a calzone and not on a hero -- it also upset his stomach the next day! The waitress never checked in on us and was understandably in a hurry like she just was just sailing through the place on her free will. The ambiance is nice and it wasn't too crowded but they need to do a better job with the food portions and shift coverage. I'd like to come back here, but this experience soured us from trying it again.

(Delivered 12/11/2022 SU @ 5:00pm): Paulie's a brick... house, but what about the pizza!?…read more In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City, my friend and I finally tried Paulie's Brickhouse to fill my pizza craving. With a sizable Italian community, and I already ate some wonderful pizza from neighborhood Gino's Pizzeria and Rizzo's Bakery, I was expecting nothing less. We first came across this eatery while walking along Central Ave., and all I kept saying was "Pole-eee" with my best Italian accent; luckily, I didn't get whacked! Did Paulie have the goods cooking in his brickhouse!? PURCHASE 6pc Mozzarella Sticks ($8.00): Nothing really special about these although we loved the extra cheesiness when we bit into them, and the side of marinara dipping sauce was more watery than we liked (this was an easy fix) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=n0D4mEhYCGMANDTz4ZQHoQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 6pc Buffalo Wings ($9.50): There was nothing really special about these as well, and they weren't hot at all. There was a good amount of meat on each piece. Otherwise, this was a one-and-done for us https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kujd_Gok6z3uc5Jn9KJwQg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 16" The Newport Pizza ($22.00): Made with vodka sauce, mozzarella, chicken, mushrooms, peas, and prosciutto, all on a medium-thick crust, this was a lovely unique pie (who would consider peas!?) where all the ingredients somehow managed to pair well with each other. Everything tasted fresh, I honestly couldn't taste vodka in the sauce, and I wished the prosciutto slices were smaller in order to have more bites of them on each slice. Otherwise, this was a yummy pizza that served us for two nights https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4ViLUGNWCq8frJW7zcsSug&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3pc Cannolis ($8.00): Your standard sweet ricotta and chocolate chip-filled flaky pastry shell, each was sizable and blissful to eat. The shell held together well and didn't crumble, which held everything together. I'd leave a gun for these https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fjP0KF176OTn7gm48m3rKg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I easily placed my order over the phone for a designated delivery time (no fee!), a friendly gentleman repeated my order back to me, and about 45 minutes later, a young man was at the doorstep with our order all securely packed up - grazie! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was a moot point in this case since our food was delivered. Otherwise, I didn't notice any parking lot, but there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Central Ave. and all surrounding side streets. - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Sadly, my only recollection of this place while we walked by was a clean dark facade and a large glass window that looked inside to a ton of chairs and tables. Apparently, they also had a rooftop bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wslzsJdZdNcDQul3m9RyUg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front window and door while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I noticed some TVs but was unsure about any background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... but I was dressed-down for delivery. OVERALL Paulie's Brickhouse didn't disappoint - at least on the pizza and cannoli - so, I wouldn't mind a return visit for other interesting specialty pizzas. Sadly, the appetizers were fine but nothing really stood out about them. The prices were comparable, I loved the pizza and dessert, good portion sizes, extensive menu, and straightforward service. I hoped to check out the rooftop area one day and enjoy a sit down meal with a beer. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $51.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

They were playing country music and the bar area was pretty much almost full. I was quickly greeted by the bartender who was a very nice lady, and she immediately took my order of mozzarella sticks to go. The price was reasonable however I did not know that I would be charged a dollar (technology) fee to use my credit card, but maybe it was an oversight by me. The food did not take long to be ready and in less than 10 minutes I was back out the door. The mozzarella sticks were good. You got about six of them, marinara sauce and they were tasty. When I first saw the amount, I got nervous, but I'm glad that they tasted good. They were just the right temperature and the marinara sauce was good as well. If you're in the area, and need a quick bite this may be your spot. By the way, parking is trash in the area so good luck with that.

In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes and things to do throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, some friends and I made the short downhill walk from the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery where Day 1 of the 2025 Goatchella Music Festival was held. I'd been here once before last year only for a quick drink and hoped to return... which I did. I loved dive bars (a quasi one in this case), and we desperately needed something to eat because there wasn't any food at the music festival. Would our hunger be healed at this nearby tavern!? PURCHASE Yuengling Brewery Traditional Lager American Amber Red Beer 16floz Draft ($7.00): Copper red color, malty sweet aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean finish, and smooth malty sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=IK-gGbhbel7snfqWUNxFQQ [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings w/Ranch Dipping Sauce ($7.00): A large portion of uniform slim ring sizes, these were hot, medium/dark brown, lightly crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) didn't pull out rather it broke apart. They weren't very oily (a plus), the ranch dipping sauce was a bit watery and somewhat needed because the rings lacked flavor. These helped to fill my stomach and absorb some alcohol, but these were a one-and-done for me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=k_xnTqsztpwi532djVfb1A 902 Brewing Heaven Hell Or Hoboken IPA Beer 16floz Can ($7.00): Bright amber color, light hoppy aroma, low body, light hoppy flavor, crisp finish, and light hoppy aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=814Bgltx9H3EH1JdhCy5uw SERVICE We casually walked in, grabbed an open high table next to the bar, and a female server quickly greeted us with glasses of water, menus, and some time to decide what we wanted. Minutes later, she returned, took our order, quickly returned with our drinks, and no more than five minutes later our food arrived. Once we were done, we called her over, settled up, and headed on our way. Everything was straightforward - easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) Generally speaking, this was an easy flat-to-downhill 20-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots (no known private lot) along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A bit "fancier" than your standard dive bar, the simple yet somewhat snug floorplan was highlighted by the central circular bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=6IwZzouh4fBQUWDeXCppvw with ample stools, several standard and high tables throughout (there was also a small front outdoor patio area), and your typical beer advertisement on the walls. Decent natural lighting came through the many large tinted windows while minimal electric lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs while music only played in the background if someone fed the old-school jukebox. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=HWy9upn6jGmNFIkVUGFz4A ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Healy's Tavern was a fun option if I wanted to go slumming while I watched some games with an onsite kitchen for food and the ability to use credit cards. Each time, I felt the local neighborhood touch, but other than that, there wasn't anything in particular that stood out. The prices were affordable, the menu options decent, and the service was easy and simple. 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 between the two visits was around $22.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip).
