the whole place smells like a wet bathroom… WHY?! can't you have it even decently clean? bartenders aren't the best. Guy bartender only tends to females and the woman bartender, can't get her attention. And then the guy asked us to bring our empties in from outside because they ran out of cups/glasses. oh really? you run a bar with not enough cups? that's… nice…. It's also pretty loud and only place for some quiet is outside, which is a plus, but only when it's nice out.
plenty of other bars on this street, I suggest somewhere else.
We stopped at this dive bar on Washington during a walk around town on a beautiful day. We were able to sit outside with out dog, which was nice. We spilt nachos and wings and had a couple of drinks. The nachos weren't as heavy as your typical bar fare which was nice. When we got the bill, we where happily surprised at how cheap everything was. I would definitely come back here again — maybe for some college football!
Nice stop on Washington Ave. I came during happy hour. Really nice unpretentious bar with awesome and friendly bartenders. I had the margaritas. Strong and delicious. I definitely had a nice time. Definitely headed there soon.
Darts! High quality metal darts and nearby chalkboards to keep score. We were here with a group of 10-12, so we paired up and played some epic games on this board.
Very relaxed atmosphere. It's a medium sized bar, but it looks like there is more room in the back. I didn't try the food but it seemed like traditional bar food. It smelled good, but just about anything deep fried smells super yummy
Drinks were on the inexpensive side. Bartenders were relaxed. We lost one of the darts when one person in our group decided to throw the dart into a bulls skull that was hanging on the wall. Perhaps he was shooting for a literal bullseye?
I just met this dude that night, but they introduced him as DB. Wonder what that stands for…
Still, the real story here is how nice the bartenders were about it. They just handed us another dart so that we could keep playing. Thanks for not flipping out on us!
Farside is cheap, and close to Stevens. Naturally, it's full of Stevens students. It's also a very cool dive bar with a dart board and a back patio. I often found myself here between classes for a beer and some darts. Smoking on the back patio was nice sometimes too.
This was the 3rd stop on our bar crawl.
Good bar in Hoboken, this is were a lot of college students from Stevens Institute of Technology hang out, so if you don't want a college scene, this bar probably is not for you. I like that they have a dart board, and they have a really nice outside deck area that has a fireplace so you can chill there all year round. Drinks are good, nothing fancy.
Saturday nights in da 'boken can get pretty crazy. After midnight, most of the more 'popular' spots have massive lines that sprawl down the block, or are so packed inside that you've barely got room to move or breathe. Me thinks not.
If you aren't afraid to travel a little further uptown on Washington St, then you can ditch the crowds and claim all of the space that you need over at Farside, which is literally on the far side of the heavily concentrated area of Hoboken bars.
It's definitely low-key, so don't expect a crazy party. But if you purposely left the madness that is Black Bear or Mills then you probably already knew that. I came here to escape the crowds with a few friends last Saturday night and we were really happy that we came. It was still nice enough to sit outside, and we were able to claim a table as our own and easily order drinks. Oh, and being able to hear each other speak was also a pretty nice perk.
Don't get me wrong, it's fun to go to some of the louder bars and dance. But after a while when you've had enough and just want to have a drink and chill then this is the perfect place to end the night. So much so, that I don't even mind traveling over to the 'far side' of town.
This is my go-to spot after playing recreational soccer. Its got that "cheers" feeling, where you walk in and there are definitely people here that have been coming here routinely for years. It's a place in hoboken that isn't bro-y or pretentious and is just casual, chill, let's grab a few beers and chat. It's unassuming like that. Bartenders are friendly and helpful. It's a place that is no frills — it doesn't need to because the quality of the time you have here is another about the place, ambiance, or atmosphere — it's back to basics where you can focus and have a good time with who you're with. Sometimes that's all you need.
