I went here for an event and I was not expecting much. I had a fabulous experience and the main reason was Alejandro. He was exceptional. He modified my meal to be GF. He made excellent drinks. He was all around a great bartender, man, and we all enjoyed his conversation. The ambiance was cool, the bar was comfortable, and Alejandro's customer service cannot be beat. I will definitely stop by next time in the area and I recommend that you do the same! read more

This was a cute speakeasy. It's a nice and intimate space but it still has plenty of seating. The music was really good, the DJ had a really good mix. All of the staff was really nice. My friend and I only popped in for a couple drinks but there were people ordering food and it looked and smelled great. We let the bartender make up a drink for us. It was good and strong. He was really conversational and friendly. It has a nice vibe overall. I would definitely come back. read more

We had a great time here ! It was a great post dinner activity after the miracle on Mercer. There's a DJ that came at around 9pm and he played some great throwback hip hop and R&B mixes. We didn't order food but there is a dinner menu. We had several drinks and enjoyed them. They were also strong. The service was also great. I would come back here again in the future. P.S this place had a club vibe. read more

Soon as I walked in a bar fight was breaking out. Bouncers had it under control but the entire situation was off putting. Place smells like A wet rag used to wipe the counter. Didn't bother to stay for drinks. Music was a vibe though. Place is lively maybe for 21-35 crowd. read more

WHAT A VIBE!! Located under Boots & Bones is a small speakeasy with limited seating and different cocktails than those offered upstairs. The DJ plays low tempo music very similar if you're familiar will SXM BPM Chill station. The service is great, slow at times, but understandably so because it's busy for a small space. The cocktails are all so packed with flavor and natural juices blends. It's You can taste the hand crafted mixology that goes into them. I do have to say it's too dark to take pics of your drinks/food. Cant wait to come back! read more

I love this place! Good music, Good vibes, it very chill and laid back in here if your into that. No entry fee. Great service! I don't know if it's the same Dj every time, but the Dj that was there the night I went was amazing. Throwbacks and current songs all perfectly mixed together! They even had a Christmas theme going on when I went. It's a great place with great music and drinks without all the chaos. Mixed demographic and everyone is nice and seems to get along. Will be back. read more

Under The Boot - Cute sign in the bathroom. - Wine Bars Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

We went late night. Crowded it great music. The DJ kept us fun all night. This place was recommended for the cocktails. But I was not impressed. Still a fun place to dance and party. read more

Good music. Nice ambiance. Drinks are overpriced for what you get. But, that's most places these days. I didn't try the food so I can't comment on that. read more

Absolutely love this place. It's next to a bigger restaurant so honestly, if you're not paying attention you can walk past it but its so cute. It's small, intimate, trendy, and just all around vibey. I went on a Friday night because I heard that's when hip hop/r&b vibes are the best-- it was kind of a mix of that and techno so if you're into it, try Friday. I would've loved more afrobeats/reggae/hip hop but overall I loved it. They have small plates but I don't recommend. Considering there's tons of better food in the area for a ore cost effective price. The drinks are pricey too but they were delicious. this is a nice place to start your night if your in JC. read more

I came here this past Friday night as I saw it on IG and wanted to give it a try since I'm slicing in the Jersey area now. The place was not outwardly seen at first but I also wouldn't call it as a speakeasy as there is a clear sign of the place as I'm use to speakeasies being as hidden and unexpected as possible. Went inside and seemed to be slightly busy, getting a table was easy and service was attentive. There are drinks, small bites and even the full menu served served there besides the drinks on the full menu. The place was playing good music which was what we wanted and the drinks were delicious, I had the secret passage. We also ordered wings and wagu sliders. The wings were cooked like Texas style wings which were great and sliders tasted like regular beef sliders that weren't bad. We knew there was DJ coming and expected some hot beats but unfortunately it was repeated techno vibe music that we don't care to listen to that mych and just kept going ,that's when we knew it was time to head home. Cool chill place but we could definitely use a variety of music. read more

This was one of the worst bar experiences of my life. I regularly go to speakeasies and cocktail bars, most with a classier atmosphere than Under the Boot, and at every one of them ever, even those with a dress code requiring formal wear, I've always been permitted to wear my cowboy hat, which I wear everywhere. I assumed that of all places that the bar connected to Boots & Bones would not only permit but encourage cowboy hats. And it seemed so at first. There were several girls there with cowgirl hats, some of whom I took pictures for or with. I wore my own hat inside for over an hour and a half without incident. Then, utterly out of the blue, a bouncer came around to me and multiple groups of girls with cowgirl hats, insisting that they take them off, and forcibly removing anyone who didn't comply quickly enough to his liking. I was with a group of about eight other people, all of whom I had brought. They followed me out, and we saw several other groups leave at the same time due to the sudden enforcement of the hat policy. This is a bar that clearly despises its patrons and is not interested in retaining them as repeat customers. I had initially been planning a birthday party their with a large group, but now I'll never return and will adamantly discourage anyone I know from ever going to Under the Boot. read more

Service and drinks were great! Plus music and a vibe on Thursday. Haven't had any of the bites but the food smelled really good

I was expecting a speak easy but this is more like nice underground bar with good vibe and party like atmosphere. Nice cocktails for sure. Service is good too. Wouldn't call it speak easy as music is way way way too load to chat. read more

I ran across this hidden bar when I was searching for a bar to go to on a Saturday night with some friends and turned out it was their opening weekend! I had recently visited Boots & Bones but had no idea they owned a brand new speakeasy in JC. It was truly a hidden gem for sure. Their cocktails were amazing, music was great, and they had beautiful lit up decorations all throughout the bar including the bathrooms. My favorite drink of the night was the Bootlegger, highly recommend! Service was so amazing, we had multiple waiters come to our standing table to bring us more rounds of drinks and take our empty glasses. We never found ourselves trying to hog down a waiter for more drinks. If you're looking for something new and something fun in Jersey City, I highly recommend Under the Boot. It is located directly to the left of Boots & Bones and there's a stairwell that takes you down to the speakeasy! Definitely an amazing and much needed new addition to JC! read more

Fun vibe underneath, but really bad dress code policy. Showed up with designer boots on and was turned down for wearing boots to a bar with the name boot in it, how ironic. The bouncer blamed it on the ludicrous manager but also hinted I can pay him off to get in. Shouldn't be turned down wearing designer boots on a Saturday night at 7:00 sorry. read more

As a local, I visited this bar and was quite disappointed.The bar seems to have an inflated sense of self, attempting to present itself as a high-end establishment without the substance to back it up. Ultimately, it's just a ground-level bar with cocktails priced at $20 read more
