Drinks in Downtown Jersey City

A small dark bar on the corner of Second and Coles, a few blocks off the plaza and away from the newer buildings. There is a jukebox, a short beer list and wings, with DJs playing records on some nights. Tuesday is a singer-songwriter showcase at 8pm, so the bar sometimes has a bill of its own.

Mon to Thu, 3pm to 2am. Fri, 3pm to 3am. Sat, noon to 3am. Sun, noon to 2am

Opened in 2016 by people who already lived here, with a pub menu that happens to be entirely vegetarian and a yard out the back. Downstairs there is a smaller bar called PS that puts on comedy and art shows and music on its own nights. The front is a plain bar with a plain beer and cocktail list.

Mon to Thu, 4pm to 2am. Fri, 4pm to 3am. Sat, noon to 3am. Sun, noon to 2am
