“ Duck wings were awesome. Happy hour (4-7) has pretty reasonable drink prices (10 cocktails). Menu has a lot of wild game -- super cool. Venison cheese steak & duck poutine were also pretty good. ”
“ I really liked this place. As Chileans we usually eat a lot of seafood and finding an octopus well done in terms of texture, flavor and easy to cut is simply wonderful! we will be back! The drinks are very well prepared. ”
“ Nice bar. Great drinks and cool interior and vibes. Manhattan prices though. ”
“ What a unique cocktail bar in downtown Jersey City... folks can try to prepare you for what you’re about to walk into, but on a Wednesday night I was not expecting Bluegrass music and an eclectic clientele. The Iguana Assembly was very tasty & refreshing. And on Wednesday night bourbon pours are like half-off which I definitely took advantage of and recommend you do too. There are some good deals to be had on a Wednesday night if you don’t mind the pain that might follow on a Thursday morning. The server was friendly and helpful - and VERY patient. They have food - but we were just here for drinks. The booth we sat at was not the most comfortable - but that was mostly do to the jackass who seemed to be getting jackhammered in the booth behind me. ”
