This bar is just wonderful! First off, it's beautiful inside! Ask about the story of the place or read about it on their menu, its a great story! The owners are very nice and make you feel right at home. The bar isn't trendy, which is a nice change for a Hoboken bar. It's also off the main drag which is a nice change too. They have adorable picnic tables outside in the summer, so nice for outdoor seating. They have a TON of beers, both on tap and bottles! I love beer choices so this is a huge plus! Their specialty drinks are a bit pricey but that being said, everyone I have had is stiff so the bartenders don't make you regret the $11 pricetag :) Also, that being said, there are always drink specials, so you can get some of the pricey drinks for like $5 on some nights! The bartenders are all nice and patient! They give you time to decide and if you can't decide, they will suggest or give you time and come back. One a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, its busy and crowded, so they do the best they can. You have to give them a break, its like 40 to 1 on those nights. I love to come on off times, during Saturday-days or Sundays. Even most nights around 5pm is a good time and not too crowded. Hoboken gets crowded on Th-Sat nights, everywhere, so don't hold it against this place. Also they have limited space for a kitchen but they make a full menu of awesome food! It always smells so good too! They even have an Oyster night on Turesdays! $1 each and they are fresh that day - SO GOOD! I love this place and I hope they stick around for a long time!
