Morans
“Great dive & towny bar for Hoboken – juke box, darts, secluded from the douchery of the rest of the city.”
“With probable some of the friendliest bartenders in the world and buy-backs at the bar, it is hard not to like Morans.”
“Great local bar nestled away from the fratty bars on Washington St. Staff is great – Kevin takes good care of everyone.”

Pros:
– Friendly bartenders (with heavy hands)
– Backroom can be reserved for birthdays and such
– Powerful beverages
Cons:
– Off the beaten path
– Cramped and easily filled to capacity
– Difficult to get served at bar when crowded
– Weird old man locals at one end of bar
Verdict:
I don't know too much about the Hoboken bar scene, but this bar seems to be an okay spot. The bartenders were super friendly and very generous with their mixed drinks (we took advantage of a $30 AYCD deal). If anything, it's a good place for groups.
I really like the inside of the bar, but there are some serious flaws as well.
Pros:
Darts and other bar games
Layout and ambiance (very neighborhood feel)
Cheap drinks
Friendly bartenders
Great place to relax for a couple drinks
Cons:
No food
Poor beer selection
If you are going to be a drinks-only type of bar, step up your game and get some good taps.
Great local bar nestled away from the fratty bars on Washington St. Staff is great – Kevin takes good care of everyone. The place gets packed on St Patty's day! Morans is the first bar I've ever visited in Hoboken and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Great dive & towny bar for Hoboken – juke box, darts, secluded from the douchery of the rest of the city. Bartenders are friendly, funny, gracious with buy backs & pours when you are friendly and generous w/ tips. Wish we knew about earlier!
My bf's favorite after hour bar. Morans is definitely our go-to spot whether we're there to watch a game or have conversation and drinks. I love that the music isn't obnoxiously loud. You can actually have a decent conversation without yelling over the music, unlike other bars in the area. More then likely, you'll find our favorite bartender Kevin behind the bar, always warm and always welcoming.
We were fans of this place before but now they have food AND an outdoor eating area! If dinner and a view of the park hasn't sold you yet, the sweet potato wedges will. Thick cut, sweet potato wedges baked and dusted with brown sugar and cinnamon. Regardless of what you order, a side of these wedges are a must. All in all, one of the classier bars in Hoboken and definitely a staple bar for the summer with the outdoor patio addition.
I have recently discovered this little place. One of my friends moved just down the street and it is her "neighborhood" bar.
Upon entering, there might be a slight musty smell, but don't worry, after a couple of drinks that smell will completely disappear! The drinks are decent, and priced in the same range with those in the area. If you are with a few pretty girls, they might be a little cheaper than average! 😛
The bathrooms are pretty clean, and have two stalls (thank you). There are two sets of dart boards that provide lots of entertainment and friend making opportunities. One is in the main bar area and the other is located in a back bar room. They even have a jukebox!
The steps leading in and out of this place are a little funky, so be careful! My first time here I went outside to look for my friend who had had a few too many and was drunk dialing a boy toy. I was looking for her and not at the steps and fell and broke my shoe and twisted my ankle! Not cool! Watch your step!
