Pier 13 Hoboken

**An Unforgettable First Visit!** My first time at this spot was an absolute blast – I simply loved it! While I didn't get around to trying any food, the drinks were great and the atmosphere truly shone. The place is beautifully designed, the music was fantastic, but the best part hands down was the incredible vibe. It was so captivating, I was too busy soaking it all in to even snap photos of the pier! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to all my friends, family, and anyone reading this review. Seriously, you won't regret it!

Great place to hang out with family and friends. There are multiple food truck serving delicious meals such as Mexican, American, lobster and ice cream options. Along with 3 set of bars serving drinks. Along with music playing in the background and the skyline of NYC. doesn’t get better than this during the summer!!

HOBOKEN: If you are looking for “the spot” with unbeatable Manhattan skyline views, eclectic eats, and great drinks, look no further than Pier 13 Hoboken! Located on the Hudson River, this seasonal outdoor waterfront beer garden welcomes leashed, friendly pups everywhere except the grass area. Grab a seat, take in the views, and enjoy bites from a variety of food trucks alongside cocktails, beer, and other refreshing drinks. The vibe is lively with events like Happy Hour specials, Adoption Days, and plenty of fun pop-ups. IDs are checked at the entrance, but guests under 21 are welcome as long as they are with a parent.

knocking 1 star off because it’s quite pricey!! Enjoyed my visit here nonetheless. Good food, good views, good variety of options, great area. Recommend going earlier in the day before it gets busy! Dogs allowed but i think only Amanda Banana has a dog menu item. Great vibes to visit with friends. Would go back for sure!

It was good, lively vibe, view was amazing, food options were less.

Perfect place to go to on a nice summer day! This place is great for couples or friends to grab some food and drinks and just hang out. The music here is also very good! They have a couple of food trucks including a banana ice cream truck, wood fire pizza, tacos, lobster, and a bunch of different spots to grab drinks. Their drinks are on the expensive end- $11 for a surf side seltzer, which is the only downside.

It’s a very nice place I went with my son and my cousins … we have a lot of fun… they have a good music good attitude good attention and very safe and fun place for kids too

This pier is great for some drinks and nice view! The whole atmosphere is awesome l. Very good vibes. Remember to Always bring your ID and check opening/closing hours. Area is super clean and staff is friendly. It has nice paints on the floor and espectacular view of NY skyline. Must go if in NJ ⭐️ You can get different type of foods, bring cash!

Pier 13 is a must try Hoboken experience during the Summer. It is one of those experiences you don't forget your first time. The view, alcohol selection, food trucks, and atmosphere all makes this an amazing experience. They have a live Dj performing certain days and other days play popular tunes on the speakers. It does get very crowded, so get there earlier and secure a spot if you are looking to go on a weekend. As for food options, they have a variety of options such as pizza, tacos, oysters, etc. Beers are IPAs and typically go from 10-12 bucks, which is actually good given the location. Mixed drinks and margaritas will run you a bit more and are a bit overrated and overpriced in my opinion. The real reason people come here is for the breathtaking view of Manhattan. I will argue that you cannot get a better view at any location this side of the Hudson.

Waterfront beer garden, sign me up. I spent a lovely Saturday here a few weeks ago. There are numerous food trucks at the entrance to the pier and an outdoor bar at the far end. We grabbed some delicious tacs and found seats at the outdoor bar. We spent about 4 hours here, enjoying the views, much and the people. The vibes were on point, and the waterfront views were unmatched. If you haven't visited Pier 13 yet, check it out before the warm weather disappears. From JC, you can the Tonnelle bound Lightrail to 9th St and walk over. PATH/Lightrail to Hoboken and jump on the 126 bus to Washington & 13th St. Traveling from NYC, take the Midtown 39th St Ferry to 14th Street in Hoboken, which puts you one pier over from Pier 13.

Had a great time at Pier 13 recently. The views of the city are fantastic and we loved the overall ambiance. Please bring your IDs, some cash for ordering from food trucks and also check opening/closing hours. Area is super clean, staff is friendly, multiple drink counters and there are plenty of food choices from multiple food trucks. It's also kid-friendly, making it a perfect spot for families. We always have great time and can't wait to visit again!

This is a really cool place. Up until recently it didn't even know it existed. I attended a meet-up of a bunch of people from a Rsvlts shirt group I'm in and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how cool this spot is. It is literally right on the water in Hoboken, NJ on a pier, hence the name. They have several food trucks on the premise which give you a nice variety at a not so expensive price. The prices for the drinks are not that crazy as well and they have a nice selection. On a nice day this a great spot to go to as it's right on the water and the view of midtown and downtown Manhattan can't be beat.

I absolutely loved Pier 13, it is a great place to enjoy the scenery, play games, take cute pictures, and enjoy great food and drinks. I had the best watermelon margarita and pizza and enjoyed a great summer date night! Looking forward to another great summer in 2024 at the pier :)

Pier 13 is a summer vibe. Date night experience was cool - it's also family friendly (games, food, sights/view). Seats are limited but you can honestly mingle w/ strangers (friendly mature crowd). Drinks are good, not to strong, not to weak. The wings are a MUST (be careful, they automatically include gratuity, but you can change that percentage). I was looking for the pizza food truck but couldn't find it . Overall, I would definitely go out again and enjoy a summer night. xoxo

Fun, chill, colorful outdoor pier in North Hoboken with phenomenal Manhattan skyline views! I've been to Pier 13 a few times and the vibes change I think depending when you come visit. It's quieter/calmer earlier in the evening and during the day. I came last night around 9pm and it was more of a scene with a DJ blasting club music. It's a cool spot with a bar at the end and a variety of food trucks. Sometimes finding a table can be challenging. I'll definitely be back though bc it's unique, the views are something else, and overall, it's very pleasant when the weather is nice.

A great time was had at pier 13. On a beautiful day the pier can be a lovely escape from hectic city life. I arrived on sunday afternoon around 1pm so nice and early to get a table and grab drinks and food before the crowd came pouring in. Glad we did that because it def gets jam packed. Lots of seating and little games scattered along the pier! Perfect selection of food trucks! Tacos, wings, pizza, lobster and empanada trucks!! Oh and ice cream too! Drinks are pricey BUT the frozen ones were full of alcohol for 16 bucks! I def didnt need another! Beautiful backdrop of NYC of course!! Beware parking is tough if your driving in. May be better to take an Uber! Overall great day on the water!! Def will return before the weather changes.

It's January! Pier technically closed. You can walk through the pier and enjoy the beautiful views!

Had a great time at Pier 13 recently! Despite it being slightly windy, we made the best of it. There's a lot to offer at the pier besides alcohol and food trucks, I appreciate that they really try to make it an entertaining place for everyone! We tried the Gringo's truck while we were there and I especially liked the Quesabirria Tacos! The alcoholic beverages were fire, I loved their frozen drinks the best - I bet they're amazing on a hotter day than the one I went. I can't wait to go back for one of their many amazing theme events! The views of the city are fantastic and I loved the overall ambiance! I also really appreciated the service we got there, the bartenders and truck owners were very kind to us. We also got to meet one of the managers there and he was super chill! :)

Lovely time here at Pier 13. Parking, as within the entire Hoboken area, is tough. So unless you plan on spending $$ on a closer parking lot or maybe a bit cheaper a little walk away, you may want to consider public transportation. We arrived at about 1:30 pm on a lovely Saturday and the place wasn't as crowded as expected. Our ID;s were checked, not as a requirement as there were kids there, but just in order to get a band so that you can purchase alcohol while on site. There are lots of small tables, picnic-style bench tables, and even some lounge chairs toward the end of the pier. Drink prices were what you'd expect from a place like this in the area...$7 for canned beer, $9 for 16 oz. drafts, $10 canned cocktails, $15-20 cocktails. I believe there are mid-week happy hour specials which may be much more worth the trip. There are a few food options there but we didn't try any of those. Outside food and beverages are NOT permitted. Smoking and/or Vaping are also prohibited. The Pier ofcourse offers some lovely views of midtown Manhattan, especially the HUdson Yards area. Its a great way to spend a day.

A nice and beautiful waterfront beer garden/bar. The place open at 4 pm, the happy hour is 4-6 pm, beer selection wasn't too much, margarita was good. I loved the pizza, the oven in the car was so cute and very good in baking pizza, you have to wait until 4:30 pm to get pizza but it was worth waiting, delicious, crunchy and fresh. Keep in mind it's cash only.

10/10. Dude at my job recommended Hoboken after I told him I'm doing Newark/Jersey for my birthday. So I did my research on Hoboken a little and found this online.. I went for my birthday from Connecticut.... Got drunk accidentally there.. views are amazing. It was a gorgeous day my birthday. Went alone. Had some food there too wings and fried. Good vibes 10/10 YouTube: "travel and eats" check my videos

The food trucks were on the money great food. We did the pizza and then we did the electric wings truck. Just wish it was more sinus saying after you passed the checkpoint of getting your IDs and wristbands that you can't bring drinks on the other side of that to the food truck so make sure you boys and girls get your food first and then your adult drinks after. Seating was pretty easy to find. Parking was a horror story unless you're willing to pay $35 to park in the garage that I was not willing to do. I found street parking after driving around for about 25 minutes. We parked next to the soccer fields so on the way back to the car, every bathroom was locked at 8 PM and there was thousands of people walking around still so make sure you take a potty break before you leave Pier 13 besides that I'll be back for around two really enjoyed my time. The views were great. The staff was awesome. Security was good.

Was just walking by and saw this colorful area with food trucks and decided to check it out. So cool and lots of good food options. Couldn't make up my mind so I perused the area in hopes of deciding what to eat later. Look forward to returning when I'm back in town.

Super vibey place... lots of food truck options... from tacos to pizza. Variety of drinks! Awesome spot to pregame before going into the city or just vibe out for a chill and relaxing evening.

Great spot and so different! It's nice having an area that gives off summer vibes (especially since you don't have roof tops in Hoboken). Food trucks are delicious and the drinks are outstanding. The only issue--the volume of the speakers. We went at 1PM and the music was PUMPING it made it quite hard to talk to friends because the speakers are located on the fence right behind you (at table level). Seems to be a bit more quiet towards the end of the pier.

Place is great for hangout with friends and have a few drinks. There are some food trucks also.

A great hangout spot with lots of food truck options to offer. Drinks are made available to order at the Pier, and food trucks are a plenty. Some trucks are cash only and you have a wide variety of options. The best part is the sit-down areas are either benches or lounge chairs. Plenty of spots to chill, but get here early to secure your seating. Great views of the Hudson and music is played on the speakers throughout the Pier.

Ordered: Watermelon Margarita (~$15): Cuervo traditional blanco tequila, triple sec, watermelon juice, agave nectar, lime juice Loverboy Lemon Iced Tea (~$10): organic brewed black tea is infused with zesty lemon juice, finished with a subtle kick of ginger, and lightly sweetened with monk fruit. Outside food (from food trucks, etc.) is allowed on the pier also! Aya's take: Pier 13 is an awesome spot to enjoy the weather, particularly in the Summer! Right on the water and plenty of tables/seats but it does fill up fast. We stopped by around 4pm and luckily the line was pretty short. We were seated within 10-15 minutes. Must show ID to get a bracelet! Service is a bit slow and drinks are not strong at all, but you really go for the vibe and ambiance. Decent selection of food trucks right outside the entrance, but as long as you have your bracelet on, you can go in and out freely.

Enjoy a meal from one of the many food truck options available on site each day, grab a brew or try a house-made sangria, take part in a water activity like paddle boarding, kayaking, and jet skiing, or simply sit back, relax, and catch some rays. With daily and monthly activities including a movie night, live music, and much more, there's something sure to please everyone at Pier 13! Scan a barcode for quick se

The area is very cute. There is a bar at the end of the doc. Lines can get a little long at times but there's food trucks on the doc as well, along with seating. I enjoyed it. The drinks are very watered down however, which is why I could not give it 5 stars. You would have to drink a lot to even get tipsy. High priced juice. They taste good though. Will pop back around when the weather turns nice again

Exactly what you'd expect: a bar on the pier overlooking the amazing NYC skyline. There are 3 different bars and different seating areas (high top tables, picnic benches, and lawn chairs). They also have soom food trucks before you enter and one raw food seafood truck in the back. If coming by car, parking is challenging. I lucked out w a metered street parking on 12th (4 hours for $8.50) but the lot up the block is probably the best bet and can get it for a weekday evening ~$20 (check spothero). Overall this place met my expectations for a relaxing night outside. Also kids are welcomed too.

Pier13.. what can I say? You're fun, you're packed and you're expensive.. I guess that's what keeps us going back! The views can't be beat though! Great summer spot with plenty of drink options and food trucks! Be sure to get there early or at an off time to get a table! Furry friends are allowed but only in the front section. Cheers!

What's not to like? You're on the water, taking in the NYC skyline views, with an opportunity to have a drink and eat some food. Tables are available and worth grabbing so you can sit back and relax while enjoying the vibes. Check in with one of the staff and they give you a wristband so you can take a seat. On a busy afternoon with a full pier, my group waiting about 5 minutes for a table. Cheers. Metered street parking.

Busy busy seasonal location, Fab views. Very busy when we visited but managed to get a great view

Such a fun spot! I came for dinner and the beautiful views, which was nice because they had three food trucks (bbq, burritos, and taco) as well as a bar with table service for drinks. I got a chicken burrito bowl where you can add different toppings, I got lettuce, sour cream, and cheese (I wanted salsa instead but they accidentally mixed up my order). The portion was a bit smaller than what I was expecting because usually burritos are quite large, but I was okay with that. The setting was so pretty, the pier overlooks Manhattan and they have both table seating or these fun colorful chairs where a lot of people sat in circles and drank and talked. I came during the weekday around 7 pm and it wasn't too crowded which was nice, but it also started storming later so maybe it wasn't as busy as usual. I really liked coming here so I could get out of Manhattan for a bit and enjoy a drink and meal at night.

ambiance is weird because the security there takes their jobs way too seriously. at least there are two nice bartenders. the others will talk about you as soon as you walk away.

The place is gorgeous! Beautiful view! Very nice ambiance. Excellent drinks. The guy at the entrance asking for ID's, super rude, condescending, very unwelcoming. They should have someone with better customer service skills at the front. I just stopped to asked a question and he was super rude and nasty. Other than that! Excellent place.

Good place to hang out - can get very windy though Amazing view of the city and Hudson River There are tables, restrooms, food trucks, and drink trucks - therefore ID check is required to go inside to the pier area The food / drinks are kinda pricey

I was excited about visiting here because I had heard so much about it. I thought I was going to eat myself into a food truck coma when it fact there were only a hand full of trucks; with the one that I really wanted to eat at being closed. The view was amazing, the painted entrance bright & welcoming but I can honestly say, "been there, done that,"

In its 10th Season. A good location. Open air and lots of sun when I was there. Food trucks and events vary by day, best to check the calendar. Towards the end of the pier is a bar area, they have a two drink minimum. Kids are allowed as long as accompanied by a parent. Nice fresh air. People were friendly and so were their dogs. They have some sail boats next to the pier that I believe you can rent. I spent a good hour here.

Beautiful views and nice atmosphere. They have food trucks and they allow dogs. They had a pumpkin patch for kids. Very cute place to hang out for some views.

Very cool spot especially at sunset. The management (hi Paul!) was amazing. We had a variety of drinks from adult caprisuns to frozen cocktails and a bottle of sangria. They even have buckets of canned drinks. The atmosphere is so nice - love to see people out and enjoying some good drinks and vibes. There are also plenty of food trucks and a mister softer was parked nearby. Enjoy!

Heard about this place through a friend and immediately bookmarked it for the next time I was in Hoboken. It did not disappoint ! It is definitely a cute date spot ( to catch up with friends or chill with bae). My burger $7 was delicious and I washed it down with a peach sangria $14 ( which was also very delicious ) The food truck staff and person checking IDs were very nice and helpful HOWEVER the male bartender that served me that day lacked customer service and was not very pleasant. The tables are not very stable so if you sit on the edge or a bench it will lift off. It was also very windy that day so our napkins and other light items kept flying everywhere. The view of NYC skyline is beautiful and you can see people jet skiing out in the water. Pro-tips: - Check out the calendar on the website for the list of food trucks that are there each day. - Parking is a struggle so Uber / public transportation if you can. If not then be prepared to park a few blocks away and the metered are capped at 2 hours. If you come after 9pm then street parking is free. I'll deff be back to try out the other food trucks !

We went here last year to Pier 13 for the Hoboken Italian Festival. We barely made it due to so much traffic and not being able to find parking. However, once we got there, the night was chill between the music, fireworks, the weather was just right, and we got to check out some food vendors along the pier. Some foods/ drinks were more crazy expensive, but we settled on a delicious wood oven pizza with mushrooms and a slushie. Sitting along the pier, it was a decent evening of relaxation with the live band playing in the background. Fast forward to May 30th, 2020. We wanted to go out for a walk and took a drive to the pier since it had been over a year. We hadn't walked so far to the other side of the pier. To our surprise, it was spacious and renovations were made. The city skyline was amazing to look at reflected by the water. We were only there for about less than two hours and police officers reminded everyone about the 10pm curfew. Looking forward to coming back another day to walk and try other food trucks.

Question: What better way to capitalize on the best view of Manhattan (sorry not sorry, Brooklyn) than to sip on craft beer standing on a pier that sticks out hundreds of feet into the Hudson? Answer: There is no better way. Boringly, but rightfully closed in the winter, Pier 13 is always packed as a rest-of-the-seasons destination for outdoor drinking. There are two bar trailers serving mixed drinks, sangria, and beers in cans as well as on tap. As a lover of hyperlocal craft beer, it's great to see that the majority of what they have comes right from NJ and NY. Prices are on the high end of reasonable, but Wednesdays are half off so it's like happy hour all night long - on everything. There might be (probably will be) a line at either bar no matter what day it is, so plan ahead, and perhaps get two at a time. Side note, master plan: Go to Pilsener Haus on Tuesday for half off, then go to Pier 13 on Wednesday for half off. #jersey Pier 13 is cash only, so bring some stacks. It gets packed when it's nice, so get there early if you can. Seating on the far end is pretty limited, but I'm a big fan of leaning against the railing anyways, sitting down just limits the view. Music is always pumping, but it's never too loud, so you'll be able to hold a conversation. Since it's Hoboken, there are a lot of strollers with very small humans in them, but they do tend to stay near the picnic tables at the front, along with many of the four legged friends that frequent the area. They don't technically serve food, but there are always food trucks right outside the entrance. Nothing goes better with two or three local IPAs than a pie from Pizza Vita. On a warm, sunny day I'm apt to make a beeline out of work, avoiding every Manhattan rooftop bar on my way to the ferry to NJ because there is no bar closer to the river (or in the river) with a better view, better sun, or better breeze than the 13.

If you're looking for a great view and good vibes, this is your spot. I arrived early and it was so chill. The drinks were delicious and refreshing. Would love to come back on a weekend.

Great summer meetup spot to chill, have a drink and grab food from one of many food trucks with some friends or even a date! The food trucks vary throughout the week and they have happy hour specials on certain days as well! Check the website for their daily schedule!

I went to the pier before but this is my first review. I went to meet a friend and it was just as I remembered. Parking took a while to get though, so prepare to circle around a few times. I didn't eat or drink anything but the views have always been nice. It wasn't too crowded and they tried to keep everyone social distanced. Jet skis and paddle boating was open as well. It was a relaxing time.

Amazing place to enjoy the NYC view with a few drinks in hand! I recommend coming here for the view and environment. There were so many food trucks, tables and chairs for everyone to sit, and lots of drink options. I came on a Saturday, and there were plenty of tables! Drinks are a bit pricey at ~$14-16 for pre-made cocktails, but we pay for the view.

I visited once last year and came back again this September. Pre-COVID, social distancing was not a thing here and I found the crowds to be overwhelming, although still a good spot to grab a drink during the day and take in the view. People were not only sitting at tables but on grass area as well, so the back area was hard to navigate. With outdoor dining becoming more popular in 2020, it was no shock that Pier 13 maintained its popularity. I like the variety of food trucks and places to grab drinks (be sure to bring cash), and I was happy to see the stricter seating regulations enforced because of COVID (bye bye, large groups sitting on the floor!). A nice option in the area. Perfect for social-distancing.

I absolutely love coming here so I was happy to see they are now open during the pandemic. This is easily a go to spot if you are in the Hoboken Area. The views of NYC are incredible and they always have food trucks in case you are hungry. They offer great fruity drinks along with some local beers. Came to grab a drink on a Sunday afternoon and had a great time! They now have tables and it's first come first serve for their tables with a 2 hour max limit. They have hand sanitizer available upon walking in so still a great location to check out!

It's a fun place for day drinking with a casual environment. The highlight for me is the food trucks. Most food trucks are cash only but they do take Venmo. My favorites are the Empanada Guy and Amanda's Bananas.

Pier13 is one of Hoboken's few bars with larger outdoor space. They have amazing views, local food trucks and good drinks (no outside food allowed). It's a perfect spot for Saturday afternoon drinks, especially for groups. It's kid friendly during the day as well. We got there early enough to snag several chairs at the end of the pier but we had to stand in line for beers. No dogs allowed in the back half of the pier which we didn't know until we got there. Whoops! Closer to the entrance are first come/first serve tables with table service.

All in all it is a part of the pier with a jetty containing a variety of food trucks followed by a bar truck and seating areas with a magnificent view of NYC. There is also pop music playing over speakers positioned along the jetty. The food menus usually land somewhere between $8-$15 dollars for entrees such as burgers and tacos. Parking can be found if you scout, but a bit more difficult within a blick away. Aside from that there are a few nearby bars and restaurants to go to after you have had your fill of the pier. Very cool spot to go DURING a date. It gets a bit windy and chilly at night even on a warm summer day so I recommend a jacket, or you can use that opportunity to offer a warm snuggle ;)

I have been to Pier 13 so many times in the past few years, so I am shocked to discover that I have not yet composed a review of the space. As you walk out onto the pier, there are about 5 food trucks offering a variety of gourmet street food and snacks. The participating trucks tend to rotate, but often include options like brick-oven pizza, Thai, soft-serve bananas, and more, providing something for everyone. There are several tables across from the food vendors that offer seating without entering the "bar" area of the space. Once you pass the trucks, you show your id and are ushered into the main portion of Pier 13, where you will find various picnic tables, 2 bars, and a library of board/card games, all followed by astroturf covered with casual lounge chairs. While I have previously had to sit on the fake grass or sprawl out on a lounger, during COVID-19 they are only offering table seating. Also, these tables are first-come, first-serve, are required for your stay, and are allowed only for a strict 2-hour limit. However, it was thanks to these security measures that we decided to indulge in an afternoon in the sun. In addition to the seating regulations, the menus can only be digitally viewed on your phones, and drinks are delivered to your table by masked and gloved servers. The drink menu is much more diverse than one would imagine - including a vast beer list, several types of cocktails, pitcher options, wine, and more. My historical Pier 13 beverage of choice had been their on-tap White Peach Sangria, which was a touch sweet, but super potent! However, given the high heat and humidity on my recent trip, I decided to opt for a frozen margarita...or 3...instead. The margaritas were sheer perfection - not too sugary or too tart, and certainly strong! The bar boasts about its use of natural and organic mixers, and we could tell that this margarita mix was top-notch and without additives. I also have to mention that the space offers incredible views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River crossings. In addition, prior to the coronavirus, there was often a live DJ playing pop music hits. The early hours tend to bring more families and groups, but as the day progresses, the place caters more to an older, more intimate crowd. They also occasionally host outdoor movies, food truck festivals, and more. Pier 13 offers something for everyone, making it an ideal place to enjoy a nice day outdoors.

Best spot for food, vibes, and drinks! It's a well organized spot with assorted trucks accompanied with a curated menu of cocktails and beer on tap! Clean and with an amazing view of the city! Security and staff are well organized and equipped to cover all your needs specially on big events! Shoutout to Reek and Jordan for holding it down on keeping us safe and made sure our guest were welcomed. Well organized on the line too!

We came by around 7pm on a Friday. It was a hot day, but it's definitely cooler on the pier by the water. There's some seating at the beginning of the pier that seems to be open to anyone, but most of the pier is tables where you are seated and a server comes to take your order for drinks. But if you want food, you have to go up and order from the food trucks yourself, which surprised me. They give you a wristband if you're over 21 and another wristband if you get a table. The ambiance was good - the tables have some distance between them, they play pop music throughout the night, and there are string lights around the pier. We got a bottle of the Bloody Good Time punch to share for 4 people, which was pretty tasty, and we were able to get 5-6 cups out of it. Something that surprised me was that when you sit down and order drinks, they ask for your credit card for the tab, but then take your credit card for the whole time that you're there. I imagine it's so they don't want people ditching, so just a heads up.
