The Jersey City Delivery & Takeout Directory - New York - The Infatuation

"Pet Shop feels like a living room that’s been converted into a bar, and the same can be said about your apartment at the moment. It probably doesn’t have Pet Shop’s hanging birdcage or back patio, but at least it can have this Newark Avenue spot’s natural wines and vegetarian bar snacks, which are available for delivery from 4-9pm everyday except Monday." - matt tervooren

Where To Eat Outside In Jersey City & Hoboken - New York - The Infatuation

"Every day from 4-9pm, you can sit at a picnic table in Pet Shop’s big backyard, and drink hibiscus margaritas and natural wines while trying to figure out how the bratwurst and cheese curds you’re eating are vegan." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

Pet Shop - Review - Jersey City - New York - The Infatuation

"The upstairs space at Pet Shop, a two-floor bar on Newark Avenue, offers $8 shot-and-beer combos and good Happy Hour deals, but besides an entirely vegetarian menu of bar snacks, it’s generally just another casual place to drink downtown. The downstairs bar, though, feels like a wine cellar that’s been converted into a living room, and serves an interesting selection of natural wines. It’s a great spot for a casual date, and if there’s a lull in conversation, you can bring up one of the quotes on the wine list, like an Italian white wine described as, “Tropicana sun tan lotion dripping off your hand into the sand but in your mouth.”" - Matt Tervooren

There were no pets, only punk rock But then in the vast scheme of things, aren't we all animals. Ultimately? They had a comedy show in the basement. That was pretty good and they had a band that was supposed to go on at 9:00 and we're still warming up at like 10:00. I mean I get that. That's what rock is but come on man I'm old. Wouldn't it be extra punk rock to make things start on time? You know a subversion of the whole trope of "bands never start on time"? That would be great

A spot for those stuck in emo punk 2010 era... Dirty & Cheap water down drinks. GREAT outdoor space & interior area. The bar is very involved with the community which is nice Attitude of bartender’s really depends on the day

Brilliant bar + live music venue in Jersey city. The minute you walk in you feel the vintage vibes from the space but then you also hear the cutting edge live music pouring out from the back. Downstairs you can also find stand up comedy. This place was definitely on my radar for a while so finally came to check out a friend’s band play. Plenty of drink options and friendly bartenders !

Great band and live music. This is a favorite joint for some time now. Vegans love it. Drinks are okay but the vibe is super chill especially its open very late night and a great place. Vegan people love the cauliflowers - as a meat lover I’m agnostic

A typical weekend with friends usually involves them doing a lot of drinking without any care about what is eaten before or after. I’m not a drinker and being the unofficial designated driver, my time spent in a bar is watching them chug beer or tossing back shots. All that changed when I came to this place. The entire food menu is vegan. I’m literally in bar heaven. The menu is large with choices and I decided on the Kentucky Fried barbecue sandwich which came with a large amount of fries. It was yummy. My friend ordered a burger and she said omg it tastes like a real burger and it came with a lot of fries also. So many fries that neither one of us were able to finish them. You can dine inside or outside but you have to order everything from the bar and that puts you in contact with a very cool staff. Lindsay,Nas, Steve, Vinny, and Danny were some of the coolest bar keeps I’ve meant in a while. Probably all that vegan food has their spirits nice. The price for the meals and 5 drinks was way lower then I expected also. I’m going to make sure I’m really hungry for my next visit to this jewel in Jersey City so I can try more then one entree. Oh and they have a pinball machine!!!!

This place has been on my radar for a while and I finally got a chance to give it a try. This area is usually bad with parking but I was lucky to find parking right away. When I walked in I was greeted and told I could sit anywhere I wanted. When my friend arrived we ordered our drinks. Ariana was our server and she was so nice and attentive. I ordered the Femme Fatale to start and it was pretty decent. My second drink was a grapefruit tequila drink and it was really good. My friend liked his desert rose drink. This spot is vegan so all things are veganized on the menu. For entrées I ordered the bacon jalapeño chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the pulled jackfruit sandwich. The sandwich looked like real chicken and also tasted similar to it with a little spice. My friend really enjoyed his sandwich as well. The bill came to about $80 total which wasn't too bad. All in all I had a good experience.

Really good food. The service is very polite. It has a number of drink side games to play with a group of friends and spend a really good time. The entire menu is vegetarian which was the main reason to pick this spot for a Sunday brunch. Bao Buns- definitely a must try. Also the loaded tater tots turned out really good than I expected.
