    a neon sign for a lounge and grill
    Tracy A.

    Dive bar in the true sense of the word. I liked the vintage look from the outside which is what drew me inside. It is a neighborhood watering hole for regulars. Visitors are welcome, but don't sit in a regular's seat. Straight up bar drinks and drafts. Our bartender was very nice, and she was being very vigilant with the sanitizing to meet COVID standards. I like the place, and I would hang out with the sole purpose of the main reason for the place, to drink.

    This bar totally serves the North End on the weekend. Friday night was so busy with karaoke that there was no room to sit! I Like no room. I loved the atmosphere, and want to spend my $$. But during the rest of the week the bartenders want to close early and serve everyone else. Good luck!!

    If you're looking for a decent bar with alright service, don't come here. 1 star is a overstatement. Check out jerseys

    Expensive shitty beers. Mostly lame customer service. Patrons smoking in the bar. Waste of time and money.

    Cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, no frills. Don't come here expecting something nice / fancy and you'll be all set.

    I'll be honest, I am surprised by not only the good reviews but the fact that absolutely nothing…read morehas changed since this place opened. The food is very good and consistently so... when you can get it. The restaurant is always PAINFULLY short staffed so while the staff is very friendly, they're simply never around. We have had to cancel food orders more than once because sitting there waiting for an hour to order (literally), then waiting another hour and multiple reminders for the bill before you can close out is just untenable. We live right up the street and since the food is so good, we try over and over and over again and it always the same experience: endlessly disappointing. Sitting there for 15 minutes with empty glasses and not a bartender in sight, or waiting 20 minutes in an empty restaurant only to finally order and have the server tell you they just sold out of what you wanted is not the way to run a restaurant. I'm only giving it two stars because the food is so good, but I'm afraid we've been disappointed one too many times. Until they can either hire staff or train their current staff on how to deal with their sections, we're out.

As far as food goes, I had the Jersey's Crunchy Big Blue with prawns which was the perfect size and the flavor combinations were amazing. Two BBQ Spice Rubbed Salmon salads and a pastrami with fries were also ordered and everyone really enjoyed our meals. Definitely looking forward to our next visit!

Fast forward to 7/6/25, The Homie and I decided to check out Jersey's on 152nd to wrap up the Fourth of July holiday weekend with their happy hour. There's ample adjacent parking, plus plentiful seating in both the bar and restaurant sections. There were well placed flat screens, which on this visit had the F1 race televised from Las Vegas and the US - Mexico Concacaf match televised from Houston. Lots of signed sports memorabilia posted on the walls. Our waitperson was friendly and attentive and provided us with both the Happy Hour (3-6pm) and extensive regular menus. I'd call this elevated sports bar cuisine. There's even breakfast/brunch items available on weekends. We both had refreshing iced beverages, an iced tea and a Pepsi, which were refilled during out meal onsite ($3.50 each). We ordered from the HH menu: Crispy JoJo Skins ($9), Hog Wings with coleslaw ($13), and Buttermilk Chicken Tenders with fries ($10). I appreciated the nice presentation of each of the HH menu items. The JoJo potato skins were loaded with melted cheese, green onions, and bacon bits plus a nice garlic lime sour cream sauce. The Hog Wings selected were succulent pork shanks tossed in kalbi sauce, garnished with sesame seeds and served with coleslaw. The Buttermilk Chicken Tenders were moist and not over coated and served with on point house fries. Yet again, another Shoreline gem flying under the radar screen. Jersey's Great Food and Spirits has great service and a wide variety of menu items to savor. Next visit will be much sooner and not a ten year hiatus!
