    Lobster roll is decent, you get two for $16 and fries, which is a steal. Nice view of Liberty Harbor. Watch the boats sail by and enjoy a drink on a sunny day.

    Interesting day time crowd. This beach bar has everything; bros, bikers, families, babies, cugars, inner city youth, furkels, guidos, chicks in cargo shorts. Ample bar space, $6 beers & boardwalk food

    Absolutely the best dock and dine in New Jersey, New York, or Connecticut. When you're out on the water all you want is good seafood, and this fits the bill at a totally reasonable price.

    Great place to unwind. You don’t feel like you’re in Jersey City. Also easy access to NY Waterway ferry via Lincoln Harbor stop

    great atmosphere! there's a fire pit in the middle of the outside bar area which is cool. drinks prices are average. great place to hang out and relax!

    Have kids? this place is awesome. They play, you have a tasty beverage. Beware if you have little ones: there's a fence around the water, but places where they can slip through. so good though.

    Take the boat tour that pulls up alongside the bar in the harbor. It's a blast.

    Really nice, chill place; optimal during the daytime. Don't expect 5-star meal options. Instead, you'll get reasonably priced/tasting food w/a wide selection of drinks. The lobster roll was alright.

    Multiple bars, tons of beer on tap, and great views of downtown and the marina. Like a beer garden at the beach!

    Great views and good atmosphere. Open only during the summers for the awesome outdoor sand spots. Be prepared to wait.

    View, atmosphere, and crowd is great! However, left a $10 tip for the bar tender for the whole night after a couple of drinks and she asked if the service wasn't good enough aka asking for more tip

    no brainer for summer nights. take your shoes off and sit in the sand. order half a pound of shrimp if you've got someone to impress.

    Friday nights - married women come to get drunk and will pick you up - I refuse until they buy me a drink... You gotta pay to play with me :p

    Decent atmosphere. Drinks are nice if you're into trying different syrups and fruity flavors. Certain areas tend to smell a little.

    Nice location. Expensive drinks. Biergarten is a better value. Schofferhofer is the beer to try.

    Service is weird during the day. There was one waitress for the whole place. I got my food without her. Then Waited to get a drink from her. I almost finished my meal before I just got one myself.
