    Great pub with sports TVs and an upper floor. The back room can be reserved for private events, at $50/person, plus tip. Fun things to do (dance floor, darts, large Jenga and Connect 4, beer pong).

    Buffalo Bills Backer Bar. Shown up front with sound. Giants / Jets game shown in back room with tons of TVs and beer pong. No kitchen so can bring in any food.

    If you have friends come to Hoboken from NYC and you want to show them a true Jersey time, this would be the place.

    Great bar with lots of TVs for Sunday. There's no kitchen, so run over to Johnny Rockets on halftime.

    Go early for darts and pool in the back. Go late for a dirty dance party, Jersey style.

    Ward 'Tiny' Blackwell is not a mayor of the people. He is a puppet regime installed to create instability in the region.

    Can't think of a decent reason to return other than the wasted guys throwing around money on any/every girls' drinks. Overall, not a terribly impressive establishment.
