Wing Bar

I stopped by Wing Bar on a random Friday night after a long week, just looking for something quick and comforting—and ended up discovering a new favorite. As soon as I walked in, the smell alone had me excited. The vibe is super chill, like the kind of neighborhood spot you just know the locals love. I ordered the buff chicken Sandwich and the Buffalo wings with a side of fries, and let me just say: PERFECTION. The wings were saucy on the outside, juicy inside, and that sauce? Ridiculously flavorful. You can tell they don’t skip on seasoning here. What really made it memorable was the staff. One of the guys behind the counter saw I looked tired and cracked a joke that had me laughing way harder than expected. It’s rare to find food and energy that good in the same place. I left full, in a better mood, and already planning my next visit. If you’re a wing lover—or just need a little pick-me-up meal—this spot is IT. 🔥🍗

I visited from Philly during MET Gala weekend while visiting my girlfriend and had the best time! The atmosphere is so Jersey, cozy, & with some outside tables for addional space during the season. I went during happy hour where there were drink specials, a shot and a beer special, and on Tuesdays, chicken fingers......the huge, juicy chicken fingers were only $2 each. Plus, you could get so many flavor choices! The staff was cool and the bartenders were nice and could fix a great cocktail. They made my experience what it was. I enjoyed the music, the vibe and Im coming back for an August visit on purpose. So Ill see yall soon!!

A Disheartening Experience at Wing Bar – Unprofessional Service and Hostile Staff As a seasoned reviewer with extensive experience evaluating eateries in Jersey City, I approached Wing Bar with anticipation, eager to explore a new local spot. Regrettably, my visit was marred by a series of unacceptable incidents that compel me to share this cautionary account. Service Delays and Hostile Responses Upon arrival, my girlfriend and I seated ourselves and waited patiently. Over the course of 30 minutes, we observed several patrons, who arrived after us, being served promptly. Feeling overlooked, we politely inquired about our order status. Instead of an apology or a reasonable explanation, one of the bartenders responded with hostility, loudly stating that they were short-staffed and that we needed to be patient. The tone was not only unprofessional but also embarrassing, and very aggressive especially in a public setting. Hoping to salvage the evening, I stepped outside to collect myself. Upon returning, we continued to wait, only to witness more patrons being served ahead of us. When we raised our concerns again, the same bartender reacted with even greater hostility, making the situation increasingly uncomfortable. Unprofessional Conduct As we decided to leave, the bartender sarcastically shouted, “Looking forward to seeing you again,” a final display of unprofessionalism that underscored the evening’s disappointments. Conclusion This experience was not only disappointing but also disheartening. A date night meant to be enjoyable turned into an evening of frustration and embarrassment. It’s unfortunate when a venue with potential fails to deliver basic customer service. I urge others to consider this experience when choosing a place to dine in Jersey City. There are many establishments that value and respect their patrons – sadly, Wing Bar did not demonstrate that during our visit.

So so yummy and such a good time! 😍 I went on a Wednesday night with friends. The cocktail was delish and the wings even better. Great vibe, great owner and great bartenders! Very very friendly and great spirits! You can tell they love what they do. :) The owner also does a fantastic job at providing the best service and care for his customers. Thank you wing bar! Will totally be back, probably next week! 😂

As a woman who travels solo a lot, this place has become my safe haven. The food is always good, the drinks are bomb, the bartenders treat you like they’ve known you since diapers. It attracts a very diverse crowd with people from all walks of life, yet somehow you fit right in. You get points if you register for their rewards program; they rack up QUICK! 4 for $24 shots. You also get to spin a prize wheel if you spend $50, which is pretty cool. Some say it’s small, I say it’s cozy. You’ll see people frequenting often; they make you want to come back again and again. The vibes be VIBING. It’s interesting that people who’ve visited more than once, choose to leave a review on the one negative experience rather than the several other positive experiences they’ve had, you came back for a reason… Wing Bar deserves 5 stars even on their worst day. I truly love the quality, atmosphere, and service level the bartenders provide. My little peace of heaven on earth

The food was delicious and my servers Jay and Amber were very nice and energetic. They made sure that everything was alright with the food. The music was nice and I will definitely come back.

Cat with a C! Thanks for your energy and great service! She was working alone and not feeling her 100% best self and still held it down behind the bar and serving food! This was my first time visiting, but my brother has been here a few times! I had the Thai chili wings, and fried shrimp (with the thai chili sauce on the side) , and my brother had the buffalo garlic Parm wings. We each had a mango margarita as well. The wings were a nice and crispy tossed in the sauce of your choice. Not the soft skin soggy wings. Imagine them being fried with no batter just to get the perfect crisp on the outside. Everything was great, the only con is that the place is small & in the shape of a narrow rectangle, and when customers would open and close the door, those seated inside would get hit with the cold draft from outside. Great food and great service , I’ll be back !!

I’m highly disappointed with my experience at Wing Bar today. I’ve been here a few times before and expected a good meal, but this visit was a complete letdown. The service was struggling, the kitchen seemed rushed, and the food quality was unacceptable. My chicken was pink, my burger was pink, and my fried shrimp was soft instead of being fried hard. The staff didn’t seem to work well under pressure, and the entire place felt chaotic with workers running around but not delivering. I was starving and looking forward to a good meal, but what I got was food that wasn’t fully cooked. You can’t eat pink chicken—it’s a serious food safety issue. The only decent part of my meal was the onion rings and fries, but that’s not enough to make up for everything else. Overall, it was a 000 across the board for me. Definitely reconsidering coming back.

I've been here twice. The chicken only got better. Crispy skin and THEN sauced. And it's not obnoxiously drowned in it either. Just the right amount. Just like I like it. $1 Wing Wednesdays is just a bonus. I've tried the bbq, honey old bay and the garlic Parmesan. All were quite good.

I came here with some friends and was surprised how good the food was! Usually food at bars are an afterthought. The bar is a bit of a hole on the wall with limited seating, but I could tell the place is maintained with a lot of love. Karaoke was a lot of fun too and there was a theme when I visited, which earned us a free shot when we sang. As for wings, my favorite flavor was the Honey Old Bay. Only complaint I have is that for one of the orders, I clearly asked for boneless, but they made it all bone in. Was too hungry to get it fixed, but still was unfortunate. Oh well, has fun regardless!

Really enjoyed my experience at Wing Bar! We sat at the bar and the bartenders/servers were really cool. We could tell that there are a lot of regulars here and we can understand why. Great spot for good food and vibes. It was a football Sunday so they threw the game on and the music was great. We literally just had lunch at 2pm and stopped in right when they opened at 5pm just to try the wings since it was a suggestion from a friend and we were in the area. They did not disappoint. We were already too full to try much of anything else. What we ordered: - 15 wings (half buffalo, half honey old bay) - strawberry mojito mocktail - raspberry mint limeade mocktail Both drinks were good but they did run out of mint and didn't tell us so we were sure which drink was which when it came out so we had to ask. We will be back if we are ever back in the area and looking forward to trying more of the menu.

What a vibe! Came on a Thursday around 5:45 pm and there were so many seats available. It's deff a more casual scene and the playlist they had on was actually really good Ordered the garlic parm tenders, honey old bay wings, and lemon pepper wings. They were all delicious but my favorite was definitely the honey old bay. Must try!!!! They have 8 wing flavors, will definitely be back to try the others The legend of Zelda mocktail was also delicious!

Sorry it's a no for me customer service was terrible when I visited. I came here alone to pick up a wing order off of a IG recommendation. First let's start, with the wait being super long and annoyingly super long. Place was loud and crowded they were people playing bingo scattered about when I was there. It was a bit ghetto, and loud in there with people yelling over my head, and in close proximity. The wings were VERYYYYY greasy burger was soggy and tasted like it was drenched in grease and butter - and I didn't like at all gave me a tummy ache after. I Would not return here based off this one experience. Waste of both time and money. Couldn't properly digest the food either. Also good luck with parking and park at your own risk the neighborhood was sketchy for me when I visited. Visit if you don't mind feeling stressed in small spaces and you don't mind greasy food with a high price tag!!!

Stopped by wing bar because I was heavily influenced by social media. The staff was great, attentive, friendly, funny and overall a vibe. The place was a little smaller then I anticipated but there seemed to always be people coming and going so to find seats was easy. The wings were cooked to perfection. But they had limited sauce options and the signature sauce was okay.. nothing out of this world. The sweet potato fries were also good nothing that stood out. Would I return? Absolutely I love me some wings.

@codychows sent us haha. Tried Wing Bar for the first time tonight and it ended up being Wing Wednesday where they have $1 wings (12 wing minimum) and $2 tenders (unsure about the minimums). Things to keep in mind: - the place is TINY - finding parking can be a pain - it's really hot when it's packed and it was PACKED that night. Okay now for the food: Wings: we ordered the lemon pepper wings, parm wings, honey old bay and buffalo. The overall chicken was great! Juicy inside with crispy skin that wasn't overcooked. As for the flavor, it was milder than I was expecting/prefer. The honey old bay was more honey with no old bay seasoning and the buffalo wasn't spicy. If you like a saucy wing with deep flavor, this probably won't be your jam. Double smash burger: next to the buffalo wings, this was probably my favorite part of the meal. It was a bit more on the charred side but it was still cheesy and juicy. Drinks were fine but pricey. Ordered the Uh-Huh Honey and the Blossom. The Uh-Huh Honey was definitely a winner! Overall I'd probably come back for the burger and buffalo wings but I've had better! Hi

Previously came to this place and gave it 3 stars due to parking and a long wait time. However now I have to give it 5 stars, 10 if I could. The servers are friendly, the wait time is minimal, and the food is still so delicious. Small spot so make sure you come early but don't hesitate!!!

I'll start by saying that the staff I met were really cool. They brought life and character to the bar. It is pretty tiny in there including the bathroom that didn't have hot water. Imagine going in the winter (around Xmas) and having to wash your hands in freezing cold water. The biggest issue that I had was the food. We had to send back all of our wings because they weren't fully cooked. It was beyond pink, it was almost still bleeding. We were only able to eat the onion rings and fries. Once we realized the food wasn't fully cooked we had to go!

The food is outstanding. I would definitely order again. Big juicy shrimps, wings was fried to perfection. Don't on the chunky blue cheese. Who back there cooking bc they need a raise. I wish I could give more star's.

Got food for takeout. We're from Asbury and had been planning to come check this place out for a while-- it did NOT disappoint. We got yard bird wings, tenders, and the smash burgers. Everything was fantastic. My boyfriend said inside had a cool vibe and the service was very kind. DEFINITELY worth the trip.

Ordered through Uber Eats. Ten piece Honey Old Bay, bone in and extra crispy with a side of sweet potato. Order came within 30 mins of ordering. Still very warm. Loved the Honey Old Bay flavor and I appreciate that the wings are definitely extra crispy.

I have been wanting to come try Wing bar for a while now and glad me and my partner had the chance to enjoy a Sunday night here. The place is kinda small and definitely a first come first serve for the bar area but they still make sure to attend to those sitting on the outside of the bar. The ace was already busy even after opening at 5. Definitely gave local vibes and a lot of people who come on the regular. The wings took a while which the hostess told us about but we were willing to wait after hearing so many great things about it. The wait was worth it as we devoured all 20 of the wings and two drinks. Happy to not be too far from here, definitely dive bar vibes and can use a more diverse vibe of music.

Recently visited here on a Sunday when they first opened. The place is small with not much seating aside from the bar. I had my daughter with me, so they allowed us to sit at the tables at the window; which fully opens. They also have some tables + chairs on outside as well. The staff was nice and attentive despite having a bar full of people. We got 3 different wing flavors: the yard bird (buffalo + garlic parm), hudson heat, and honey old bay. The Yard Bird was the best out of the 3. Hudson heat really wasnt too hot and the honey old bay was a weird combo. We also had waffle fries that were so good especially with the sauce that came with them and I had a smash burger. OMG that was the star of the show. It was sooo good. I would definitely return again just for that burger! I did order a lemon drop because its my go to but that was probably the worst lemon drop ive ever had. Aside from that, I would recommend this place.

The garlic parm chicken was flavorless. Just a bunch of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the chicken. The seasoned fries was anything but seasoned.

I mean - talk about a hole in the wall that is putting out a simple yet elite menu. It's all about quality not quantity here. This smash burger with a brioche is an absolute game changer not to mention the house sauce. Their wing flavor combos are unheard of! The yard bird being my favorite but that honey old bay should Not be slept on.. Saucy dry rub hybrid. The tenders obviously hit as well - sweet Thai chili with an awesome kick.

Holy smokes it's dangerously good. If I workout daily for an hour mayyybe I could get away with eating here a few times a month? The seasoning, flavor combinations, perfection of how each item is cooked...I'm in awe. I'm trying to track down the owner. The bartender was friendly & engaging. She had a big personality which I'll say contributed to the atmosphere being comfortable & alive. Happy for her. The single smash burger is bigger than I expected and griddled to literal perfection yuuummmm! As a ketchup lover I nearly went without it because it's seasoned & juicy just that good. I chose tenders for this first visit & boy were they bigger than I expected from the other reviewers photos as well! So well fried I wanted more even though I was full off the burger lol. The other reviewers photos did the onion rings some justice...I haven't had onion rings this good in years! So bomb. And, they're served with some kind of sauce that I questioned because I'm a ketchup girl but it paired super well & I enjoyed it their way. Finally, the honey old bay sauce for my tenders! Y'all I will probably not be able to try another flavor because this one wow'd me so stupendously. I tried mango jarritos and it was tasty. I'm thankful I had leftovers because the bill was high & I was risking it all (the grease & meat) for the night. Lol For a cold, rainy evening, it was busy. Can't wait to return!!! One recommendation: add sugary beignets or powdered sugar fried Oreos as dessert option...aannd invite me to taste test. Go, enjoy!!!

Not good. Chicken sandwich is a THIGH instead of a breast. Expensive and not very worth it. No thanks

I love this place !! I am adding the review for food because the original review was before I tried anything. I ordered the Thai chilli - fucking amazing. The waffle fries were extremely good. Love how crispy they were!! The chef/owner was super amazing and welcoming. The decor is off the chain!! Bryan your hospitality was untouched and absolutely perfect I would return here a million times over Both Taylor and Jennifer were amazing. Perfect service. The bar was crowded and they handled it!

Delicious wing :)) oh man definitely check this place out . Staff was super friendly . Dope / chill last min date night.

I tried twice to be sure. One time my order was wrong they gave me tenders through door dash. It was good no complaints. The wings I had as a to go order. I think I should sit in. I love chicken. Was a lil disappointed with my wing sauce choice. Underwhelmed. But overall the place is good. Great service, wings are good, just didn't care for the sauce I had. Burger was goooodddd.

I love this little spot. The service was awesome . They even engaged in the Karaoke with us. It is an exciting environment. Also the wings were delicious.

Incredible bar, but even better wings! The garlic parmesan is the signature sauce, and its absolutely delicious! My favorite menu item is the smash burger though....incredibly tasty and flavorful. A perfect spot for a date night, or even a friend night. The owner, Bryan, is sooooo sweet, and honestly..., kinda cute! Morgan, Bryan's partner, is really pretty and friendly, and I NEED her recipe for the homemade brownies they serve!!! All in all, a great place. Thank the stars above Journal Square has a place locals can eat, drink, and watch some football.

Wing Bar JC should be reviewed as exactly for what it is, a hole in the wall !! It shouldn't be compared to restaurants and lounges. This is a really small bar where jersey city residents and transplants can stop by with friends or by themselves, meet new people, eat, drink and have fun. The service is astounding for how small the bar is and how pack it gets. Kat is a rockstar! She is the life of the bar. For food I had the JC special which was disgusting. However, many others have liked it. The old bay honey wings and the Thai chili wings were my favorite. The wings is very crispy. Drinks, I had the demora and rum punch. I think it was good but some others think its too weak. Overall this was a great experience. I would recommended everyone around to try.

If you're coming here for good wings, don't. Both the wings and the fries came out pretty hard, as if they were refried after sitting out. While the staff was nice and attentive, the space is cramped, mainly only bar seating available. Not a great dine-in experience

glad to see the previous location got a makeover in regards to the food menu. the bar tenders, drinks and atmosphere is essentially the same. but the previous location suffered severely in regards to food, and by the end of my meal and drinks, i think this spot left a good taste on my mouth overall and would come back. just a few kinks, but im sure things will change as time goes on. good music, loud atmosphere, good service. looking forward to coming back to try more items and see this place grow! the 6 wings with a side of fries for $19 is very steep in price, considering i feel the wings were almost perfect, just missed a bar. the texture was crunchy, but inside was sort of juicy. overall they werent bad wings, but what through me off was the saltiness of them. i think this is because they make dry rub wings, with the choice of TOSSING the wings in a sauce for an additional $1. im sure the base dry rub is high in salt, then the yard bird sauce was buffalo and parmesan cheese ( both salty components). lets just say they made me thirsty and wanna grab another drink. i think if they can cut down on the saltiness in the sauces, i would have loved their wings. because face it, buffalo with parmesan is a great mix! the wings come with a side sauce. im sure youre thinking if it comes with a side sauce, why pay the $1 for it to be tossed? well i love wings drowned in sauces and i feel that gets you the full effect. my side sauce of choice was the spicy hudson? i think that was the name. its packs some heat, but too much of a vinegar sauce for my liking, but this is a personal touch.fries were great - keep em coming. the demora drink was nice, but i wish it were a bit stronger. it felt like the lemon/lime was over powering the tequila.

I got delivery, so my usual breakdown won't work for this review! BUT OFF THE BAT WOW WOWWWWWW! Finally! We have an actual local business, wing spot in our area! I've been complaining about this for years! We have NEEDED a spot for wings! They were crunchy, full of sauce, and full of flavor. The chicken was juicy! **My only delivery flaw is you have to pay extra for ranch/blue cheese, but you get carrots and celery** Will order again, will stop in to see the vibes and update!

I ordered from here for the first time this evening. I was about 15 minutes out from JC and I love wings. It was easy to order online and when I arrived my order was ready to go which was a plus in terms of service. I ordered 2 smash burgers and wings with sweet potato fries. The wings were good. Could have been a little juicier and a little more flavor. Crispy on the outside but not hard, which was good. However, my sweet potato fries were cold and no indication of being warm. I only live 5 minutes from the restaurant. There is no way they should have been cold by the time I reached home.My husband and son said their smash burgers were good. I would say it rates 3 1/2 stars. I will give it a chance again.

My husband and I were really excited about this place as it has very high reviews and the instagram marketing is great! We ordered on Uber eats tonight and it was a complete fail. The sweet potato fries were over cooked. We also got 2 burgers and the boneless wings everything was over salted. I've never experienced anything like this in my life. They were inedible. We were extremely disappointed after spending $60 on food with such high reviews just to throw it in the trash. Maybe the quality is better in person.

The food is great, but there is always a problem with delivery/pickup. Unless you dine in, the order is never correct. Every time I have gotten delivery, they have forgotten my burger.

Funny story...I came here not knowing that the Taco Bar is now the Wing Bar! Lol Me and my friends had our mouths ready for Tacos and got the surprise of our life lol. After deciding whether to stay or not we looked at the Wing menu and was intrigued by the sauces. Well i will say we were glad we stayed! The wings and fries were delish!! I had half garlic parm wings(a bit too much parm cheese) and the Honey Pot sauce which was AMAZING!!! it was such a fun little spot! We met some friendly locals at the bar playing cards and the bartender was so sweet and my crazy sister kept her laughing all night. Drinks were good too. I opted for the Strawberry Guava Margarita, a little bitter but i didnt mind. Overall a nice little spot nestled in between a great Italian place (ITA) and BBQ joint (Carvao) . Growing up in JC i remember this area was not an option for walking out at night so its nice to see it slowly changing with these new additions.

Came here last week to try their famous wing sauces and... omg. I can't stop thinking about the "yard bird" sauce (garlic parm x buffalo). Seriously addicting!! The two owners are as nice as can be, and felt so welcome there. if you're in the area- GO!!

We ordered for pickup. The wings are slamming! They are crispy and flavorful. However, the combos come out to almost $2 per wing and some of the wings are on the teeny side. This place gets pretty busy so be prepared to wait a while for your food.

Everything was really good. I didn't give it 5 stars because I ordered to go and it took almost 45 mins for 6 wings and a burger. However they were delicious, the wings don't have much flavor if they're bare but they're still good plus they fried them hard like I requested . Also they gave me a warm can of soda and I'm working and have to eat in my car so a warm soda it is. Everything else was great tho

The most underrated spot for chicken wings. Foods amazing. Happy hour is great deals.

Another incarnation / pseudo Carvao thing Prices for wings are outrageous Nice people but man come on! I assume it's Carvao but doesn't want to associate itself with Carvao since Carvao closed suddenly with no notice Signs say Taco Bar- No tacos available Who knows Maybe I'll try again when they have a better menu, lower prices and an identity Oh-generous with the 4 stars because we don't need another vacant storefront or restaurant in the area or else it would've been 2 star

The wait was suuuuppper long for take out. They forgot 1 sandwich ( that I was charged for) strong drinks and the food was very good. 2 bartenders that looked overwhelmed but the experience was good.

This place is the real deal. Five stars all around. It starts with the incredible service and management. The owner Brian was super friendly, accommodating, and patient. Cannot say enough nice things about this young man. The food also lives up to the hype. I got a double smash burger, yard bird wings, and onion rings and you can tell everything is made with fresh, quality ingredients. HAVE to get the homemade blue cheese. If you haven't been here, it's a must try. We came from 30 minutes away and will definitely be back. Worth every penny.

Ordered bone in wings and boneless wings in garlic Parmesan and Thai chili on Uber eats. Have to say this was the worst chicken wings I had in my life. Meat is dry and hard, sauce is not tasting good as well.... Felt we wasted the money and hard to believe this standard of food is for sell :( papa jones and domino's have much better wings than this place. Please improve your food!

The food is very good. But be careful, someone turns off the Uber pick up service and they take your order over the phone so they can charge you 15% gratuity on your card. Very shady.

Trivia night was mad fun. They had the Mets Yankees game on it was packed on a Tuesday night. The double smash burger is the best in the count

Elite food, fun staff...karaoke night was lit! Burger is soooo good. Whole place was singing songs, really fun place!

It's fine place is small but good smell and food I didnt went there idk why it fine I love it

Had an amazing fun filled night full of good eats and drinks. Cat and Ian made the night even better with amazing service and conversation. Great place for weekdays and weekends and the food is always 10/10.

Absolutely delicious. The smash burger is a patty melt smashed in between buttery buns. The wings are delicious. I ordered ours well done. The smash burger doesnt make me feel guilty about having a burger. The prices are perfect and the fries are crispy. Go get you some Wing Bar goodies!! The wings we had were the spicy ones called Hudson something. The good thing is that the staff is very helpful so ask them your questions.

Absolutely love going to Wing Bar! Being from Maryland I had to get the Honey Old Bay wings and they were even better than the ones I get from home. Even though it's a physically smaller restaurant it's full of amazing food and a whole lot of love! I can't recommend it more - I'll be back soon :)

Waited 45 min for food. Asked the bartender to check my order only for them to turn around and hand me the bag that was sitting on the counter for 15 min already. On top of that the chicken sandwich pregnant wife ordered was pink and grey.

Went in person once and it was amazing. Bar was a little packed but got my food in a reasonable time and the garlic parm tenders were great. Also the burger for the price, stop playing! 3 months later I said let me try delivery and it's fantastic I live pretty far away so I wasn't expecting it to be as good but wow impressed!

Amazing food. Great service. Bartender made great drinks. The wings were my favorite!
