Reviews & More Info

If you secure a spot inside this Hoboken hotspot, you’re set. With two floors and 50 flat screen TVs, you’d be hard pressed to find a more ideal location when it comes to sports bars. Get there before the game for happy hour, and you can score half off on drinks and appetizers. But arrive early – lines sometimes form outside the bar before game time.
