Best bartender Veronica, awesome drinks and giant apps $9 specials! Can't beat the happy hour specials!

Do not waste you're time here. So ass, these bartenders specifically will serve you dirty water for $20 and call it a drink . I've been a bartender myself and can't lie the worst bartenders ive ever put up with. Rude, no class, served bad drinks.

Even though this is my first experience here I could not give it anything less than 5 stars. This bar/restaurant catered a birthday event for a friend of mine, and they did an amazing job. We were given only one waitress, Yesenia, and she was on top of everything. She separated everyones bill from the beginning so no messy exit at the end. Very cleaver of her. As for this establishment, the bar area is very open so no one will be bumping into you while you enjoy your drinks, or dance on the side. I like my space and to chill; not be bumped into or having drinks spilled on me. The restaurant section is also roomy with TV's and a projector. They have another room in the back for bigger parties and events. Down to business: What blew my mind was their unique squared pizza. I know, who could rave about pizza from a bar? I would come here to order this pizza as a takeout rather go around the corner for a pie! The Grandma with Prosciutto had a very robust flavor. The marinara sauce (made with San Marzano tomatoes), and pesto combination was a flavor burst with every bite, and I could not get enough. Each slice was built to hold all the toppings perfectly, and once I got to the crust I was shocked even more. I could either toss or enjoy the crust depending on the way its made, and this crust was the icing on the cake; devoured! I would like to come back just to try out more of their pies, and their unique way of making this "squared pizza". Definitely a pleasant surprise here. Coupled with a nice chill atmosphere, and staff makes this place a great find.

The food in this place is bomb. The pizza is great, all options. The buffalo wings as well. They have a wide variety of drinks as well (it's a bar with good food). Stop by if your in the area

Our fav was the 'roo. Both were cooked perfectly. They were small burger sized or large slider size. We also got some loaded fries and Mac and cheese. We ordered the smalls for both and indeed the portions were small but tasty. I think the specialty burgers are reasonably, but sides are on the pricy side for the size.

You could tell the gentlemen (especially the one with the british/ish accent), they really enjoyed what they do and the flavors they put into the food. We got to try out some curry, the one is planning to add for a specialty sandwich for the world cup! Ambiance: Very no frills. There are two small tables; but the park is right down the road, so that is the option if you have a party of 3+. There's no AC, so i'd recommend carrying out if it's a hot summer day. Food: We got the moo moo platter. The yak burger was FULL of flavor, it's so different, but so delicious. The gator sausage, was cooked to perfection on a thick bun; and it's not hard to chew! This tends to be an issue with gator, it was awesome. The wild boar taco was delicious with a nice back heat with jalapeños, it's something i would sit and have three of; but the tortilla wasn't really heated through at the bottom so it was falling apart, but was still delicious, i just forked it up!! We will definitely snag more fun foods to try from here, I'm looking forward to the kangaroo, mac and cheese bites, and fried pickles.

In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, I made my way to Corkscrew Bar. I've had this on my bookmark list since I started visiting my friend a few years ago when she moved out here. I always loved a neighborhood bar (sports in this case) that also served food so I could hang with the local people. Would I pop a cork and celebrate this bar or say "screw it"!? PURCHASE Hackensack Brewing Beach Badge Pale Lager Beer 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH): Hazy amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy hoppy flavor, crisp finish, and citrusy hoppy aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=T5lE5A5q6kI_tZ_0etPJjw [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($11.00): A medium basket packed with many rings of various sizes, these were hot, lightly golden browned, crunchy, and had some tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) stayed intact. Although they were on the oily side, they were pretty good, and the spicy tangy dipping sauce was a nice touch. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=O3mNUsKqhYIzWo0oAYRe-w Jersey Burger ($17.00): Their 8oz Pat Lafrieda burger topped with all-things Jersey - American cheese, with Taylor Ham, a fried egg and garlic aioli. This was a messy two-hander especially once you broke the yolk. I swore, the thick slab of ham was actually Spam and I loved it even more if it was!

Sadly, it seemed that the young woman behind the bar was the only staff on hand. As she greeted me, I immediately ordered and received a beer, took a menu, and grabbed a seat outside on the patio. Minutes later, she came by, took my order, and provided me with table settings and such. About ten minutes later, all of my food appeared. She periodically checked on me as she cleared away the empty plates and bought more beer. Once I was ready, I went inside and settled up. It was a chillaxing easy day - thank you!

I always loved a neighborhood bar (sports in this case) that also served food (and live entertainment, too!) so I could hang out with the local people. Would I have anything to crow about, or would I be as sly as a fox and just sneak on by!? PURCHASE Brunch Spicy Bloody Mary ($8.00): I wasn't a huge bloody mary fan (I was traumatized by V8 tomato juice growing up), but it just sounded good on this particular day. It was a fairly simple straightforward cocktail that lacked the elaborate bells and whistles that could be found on Instagram... and I was fine with that. The spiciness nicely cut some of the tomato juice taste which was a plus, the celery stalk was lip, I wished thee wee oe olives, the lemon wedge seemed to serve no purpose, and I felt there was too much ice. It was decent, but I think I filled my quota for the year. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=YAXNZzbwBxhsZXoH9n98SA [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($7.00): A small basket with eight rings of various sizes, these were hot, darkly browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) also broke apart.

Great choice! I didn't get much of the jalapeño in the first bite, and could agree that the jalapeños and its accompanying sauce could be spread out a bit more, but i finally got a bite of the jalapeños towards the center and it was delicious. My bf loves their loaded fries, but i'm content with their bare fries. 7th Street's regular fries have a consistent and familiar crispy to them that i'll always enjoy. i'm not a big burger person, but they've managed to perfect the ultimate greasy burger. the new app was fairly easy to use, and streamlined the ordering process, making it efficient and easy for all. no more awkward blank stares or pauses at the menu when making your order with the cashier haha. it may not be part of their plan, but i would love to see a deluxe option in the near future, consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, and etc.

Is this place really closed? I ordered about 2 weeks ago, and it was very much "open" then, and I'm…read morenow constantly getting ads popping up on my FB account, indicating it's very much "open for business," so...is the "this location is closed" pronouncement on the Yelp listing really valid? If so, that's too bad for a lot of reasons, one of those reasons being that I really liked what I ordered. A younger co-worker at my job in Hoboken orders take-out food a lot and never gains a pound (oh! how well I remember those long-ago days when I could pack away the food with similar impunity!). This co-worker turned us (namely, me and the rest of those who still remain from the old Lunchbox Mafia crowd at work) on to "Exotic Eats" in Union City, which I think has re-named itself "Better Eats" and has the best mac'n'cheese...with the notable exception of the mac'n'cheese made by my late mother...I've ever eaten. Conversely, this co-worker eats a lot of "fast food" burgers, chicken sandwiches, and burritos. On this particular occasion 2 weeks ago, he was preparing to order, and I asked what he was contemplating. He was contemplating 7th St. burgers, a chain I had never before heard of. Feeling hungry, I checked out the on-line menu. They seem to serve...basically...burgers, cheeseburger, double cheeseburgers, fries, loaded fries, "impossible" burgers, double "impossible" burgers, and soda. Given my never-ending quest to lose weight, I figured I'd give the double "impossible" burger a try. With fries, of course. My co-worker ordered the food for me to be delivered, then decided that he didn't want to order anything. So be it. When the food arrived, I dug in. I'm not necessarily sold on the success of the impossible burger in coming across as an actual beef-and-bun burger, but I have to say--- the 7th St. "impossible" burger was the closest to tasting like an actual cheeseburger that I've yet had (I had ordered it with "the works," so maybe the "works" helped). And the fries were solid and crisp, just like I like them. "Wow," I remarked to my co-worker, "this is really good!" My co-worker glanced down at the remnants of my meal that I had not yet devoured, back up at me, and shrugged. Whatever, old man! The only thing I'm a bit chagrined about is that now I'm getting constant ads for 7th St. on my FB feed, even though I'm pretty sure the food was not ordered under my name. I'm far from being an authority on how AI or bots work, but it is just a little bit disturbing. Sarah Connor, where are you when we need you? Can I expect Arnold Schwarzenegger to pull up outside the next time I order food? Or am I making a mountain out of a very minor molehill? Probably. That quibble aside, though, this was the best "impossible" burger I've had yet, and I'd certainly like to order from 7th St. again if they are in fact still open. I'm hoping this "notice of closure" is a mistake on Yelp's part, but time will tell, I guess. Recommended (if they are still open, that is).
