The Grove Station

The lighting was just right, the music set the perfect mood, and the overall vibe was laid-back yet lively exactly what you'd want for a night out with friends or even a casual date night. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

Was passing by Grove street and saw the happy hour board for Tacos till 8pm, and thought will give it a try. veggie Tacos were good and the vibe of the place was really nice. The servers and bartenders are very friendly and ever smiling and are good at giving recommendations. It was a good surprise find and will surely visit again.

I never leave reviews but for someone who makes a Monday feel like a special occasion, this is called for. I stopped in solo in the evening, not really expecting much from a little modest bar, just looking to unwind. Drinks are reasonably priced, not really expecting cocktail bar quality, but decent. I wasn’t hungry so I can’t speak on how the food is, but from what I’ve been told, apparently a notch or two above standard. Fiona is the kind of bartender who makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time there. It was like catching up with an old friend without overstepping into being overfamiliar. She changed the tone of my rainy night and noticed every detail. My glass was never empty, she cleared every innocuous bit of trash, and her local expertise was valuable. When she told me how long she’d been in the industry and that she had fine dining experience, it immediately made sense why she knew what she knew. It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t just do the job, but elevates it, even on a moderate Monday night. I probably won’t be back because I’m not local but if I do, I’ll stop by this bar again. Thanks, Fiona!

Happened to find this place while staying at the Hyatt House. The menu showed not only affordable prices but stick to your ribs comfort food. The PATH will drop you right at their front door. I was greeted by i assume the manager that was excited for us to walk through the door. We were seated without delay and felt our visit was appreciated. They offer a great 3 course meal, dessert included which was fantastic. I had meatballs with roccota cheese and shaved parm. Second course was a nice slice of meatloaf and fries covered with a brown gravy. My Miss had eggplant parm and shrimp with a salad. We both chose coolie as the dessert but too full and took it back with us. Drinks were great and service seemed almost to true to believe. Sam took care of us plus others our whole stay. So great was the service and food, we went back the next night. Same great service and food! This time we had some fries, fall off the bone chicken wings, Philly sliders and a meat and cheese tray. All were great and they didn't let me go without a drink the whole time while watching the game on multiple televisions! Great place! Worth the trip and they service a great breakfast that I didn't get to try but I'm sure delicious if anything close to what I had experienced!

Staying at the Canopy Hotel and being walking distance, we thought we would try out this place to grab a bite to eat and we were glad we did. We sat at the bar and received great service. The food and drinks we ordered were very good. The bartenders were very friendly. I would definitely come again whenever back in NJ.

I am in love with this place! I've always had such a great experience with Fiona, Lauren & Jean Marie! Not only are the bartenders great but even management staff as a whole is super awesome, personable and warm! As a New Jersey City resident this place has become my go to for when I want to catch a quick drink or spend the day chatting it up with cool people. If you go be sure to ask for Fiona, Lauren or Jean Marie!

This was a nice place to dine. Food was delicious and at a reasonable price. I appreciate some good food and price. The working staff was also pleasant and nice.

This is one of the best bars in JC. And they have one of the best food menu. Everything I've tried was delicious. Beyond the delicious food and wonderful service, the atmosphere was fantastic – lively but still comfortable enough for conversation. Whether you're looking for a casual drink or a memorable meal, This bar delivers on all fronts. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Good food, friendly bartender nice atmosphere. Karaoke guy slow as shit, started over an hour late and took forever between singers.

My good friend Terry and I went to "Grove Station" in in Newark Avenue in Jersey City today, February 10, and enjoyed a truly tasty late breakfast and its ambiance . The eatery was warm and cozy amidst snow on the ground outside. Server Allen was efficient and personable as was Federico. Owner Jeff oversees a great and inviting restaurant / bar. We will surely be back soon.

Drinks were good and the drink special made them inexpensive Food was ok overall, but I ordered a pesto gnocchi with shrimp. The price of the shrimp (posted as 6$) on the menu didn't match the price on the bill (7$), and the 7$ for the shrimp got me 6 small shrimp and was absolutely not worth adding. edited for clarity

Where else can you go and feel apart of the whole drink making process!!! The staff never ceases to amaze when it comes to creating diverse drinks!!! And trust me im always asking for something new Grove Station is the new CHEERS and im glad that I walked in here 5yrs ago

Been here a few time. I don't know if it was because everyone was in the holiday spirit or because it was Country Thursday, but this bar was definitely jumping last night. I walked in and several people had on cowboy hats. Some people were wearing them backwards without realizing which I thought was funny. $5 hats and drink specials. Giddy up and grab some shots!

The spot is really cool, fun vibes! The food was really good, devoured all of it. We got the $20 pitchers of mimosa. Overall good restaurant but the portion size of the pitchers, wings and nachos are small. I guess the price makes sense but even for the price, I feel like portions are small. Service was fine, she was nice.

I came here because they said they had an espresso martini and I am on the lookout for some of the best ones. When I walked in it was fairly empty as it was around 1:45 on a Thursday. The bartender was very nice and spoke wheni walked in and asked me what I wanted and I told him and then he asked me if I wanted to open tab which I said no because I thought I would just have one and leave. Come to find out the espresso martini was so good that I ended up having 4. The bartender makes a special espresso for the martinis with the hint of vanilla that is to die for. It taste like espresso with a hint of vodka, but oh my is it strong and amazing. You would think because it's so light it wouldn't have the strong espresso taste but the look is deceiving. The best part was that the martinis no matter what time of day are only $8. After my second espresso, I decided I needed something to eat, and the veggie flatbread was good. Nothing to roast scream about but good I did forget to say no olives because I don't like olives. I told my brother about it and yes, we will be back.

No regrets. Simple no frills bar, great service, cheap drinks, easy spot for a big screen TV with whatever game is being shown. Don't expect a Lamborghini when buying a Honda, this is the place for a casual cheap cocktail/beer with friends, especially right next to the PATH.

The owner said he would have the India vs Pakistan cricket match on with sound but halfway through the match he switched the sound to music to cater for "the bar audience". Most of the people at the bar were there for the game. This simply doesn't seem like the spot to watch a game if the owner is going to sell out for the general crowd They also give pretty small portions and their food is average. This place is not worth the any hassle

This is such an amazing place with transportation literally two steps away. A nice spot to meet up with people for drinks and very affordable. Friendly staff and locals that will keep you coming back. Give this spot a shot you won't be disappointed.

Grove Station is a great place to enjoy whether to start or end your night! Come here for a quick drink before heading into the city or take one last shot before you go home. It's fast service and you'll always leave satisfied. Great drinks, great people, great vibes. Wings, sliders and or Flatbread are great! They have a fantastic Happy Hour and themed nights.

Lauren was the bomb! Such great service / she was cool and attentive and fun! Happy hour specials were good

lf I could give no stars, I would. I was harassed another patron while I was waiting on my orders and I simply suggested that the bar no longer tend to the patron. I was approached with hostility after asking what the name of the "manager" was due to the fact that I had already reached out to the manager on duty about this and the bartender with freckles refused to provide her own name, and rushed to alert the other bartender not to disclose the manager on duty's name. This is highly suspicious and I had no choice but to report the venue to the BBC due to its shady practices. They risked my safety along with the safety of my partner at the time of our venture to the Grove Station bar and we were literally blamed for the way we were treated. I have reported this management team and they dismissed my claims. It is absolutely unacceptable behavior and the people I reported to simply don't care.

Ok for drinks.Our first experience was sooo much better.Beware of online menu with specials.All tacos listed at a discounted price and wait staff not aware.Listed Tacos must be only 1 kind also not clearly specified.Chicken quesadilla was edible.Flatbread tasted like soap,provolone w arugula leaves a weird aftertaste.

The food here is good, especially the wings and roasted fries, and I appreciate that the fried items are air-fried. The vibe is cute--small but charming. However, customer service can be hit or miss. The real disappointment is the drinks--watered-down alcohol and margaritas that skip the simple syrup mix. Worth visiting for the food, but don't get your hopes up for the drinks or service.

Me and my gfriend were there on Friday night for drinks. We really had a very bad experience because of your manager Louis. He was very unprofessional and a racist. I was wearing a cap . So Louis came to me and said it's our policy u can't wear caps inside. Fair enough I took it off n put on table. But just close like 2 tables away was a white guy wearing cap. So my gfriend asked him is this policy for every one or just us. So he gave us a dump answer saying that they were before us. Later second thing he told us that they are leaving soon. Seriously bro this bullshit you give me. Later I told him that you have to be fair to everyone. N later he told me that I make the rules here. Seriously bro thank God I have lot of patience. I have been working as a bartender for years. But I always treat people equally. But this guy was very racist. I hope the owner talks to this guy n teach him to treat people well. Sorry will never step again. Even let all my customers know how racist you people are. All the other bartenders even knew that he was wrong n even the security. I just told Louis on his face motherfucker may be you were not even born when I started working in this hotel industry. Just disappointed.

A hidden gem in the heart of downtown JC. Right outside of the Grove St PATH Station, you'll find a great happy hour that starts at 10am and brunch that starts DAILY at 11am. Plus they have daily food specials including tacos for $2.25. I've been here a couple of times and I was very pleased at the pricing. Plus nothing is fried here. Chicken wings are oven roasted. Very reasonable for the area given that it's a simple neighborhood spot.

I have been to grove several times before and always had good experiences. However, i tried to go by myself this past friday night and was denied entry bc of "dress code." Nowhere on the website or outside the bar mentions a dress code. I was slut shamed over an outfit that barely showed anything. I was told the owner doesn't even let girls in with a sliver of their stomach showing. This is not an elite nyc club, its not even a fancy place. If the owner has so much to say about how women dress in a BAR they should be at the door to deny me themself and tell me why i am a problem instead of having the bouncer feel embarrassed and apologize to me for your stupid rule. This is sad and tasteless. Its 2024, close your fucking eyes if you don't like someone's outfit. As a service worker myself i know it means nothing to say "you've lost a customer" but i will say i am a much better tipper than your regular client base. Knowing how restaurants work, my tip wouldve been more than you pay them for the day. Grace o malleys loved my outfit.
