New Park Tavern

Best place to have a great Burger and drink a Beer. Yes Sir.

Best bar in Jersey City period. Old school J.C. bar with great food in a comfortable environment. You won't find any hipsters... they're not trying to be anything they're not!

This is a hidden gem of Jersey City. The burgers here are amazing, drinks are good and the bartenders and crowd are very nice.

Keep in mind that this place is cash only.

My family has been coming here for decades. Fresh beer, great food, best bartenders. Grab a pint of Guinness and a corned beef sandwich.

New Park Tavern had been on my list to try ever since I moved to Jersey City and heard of their burgers. It turned out to be one of the darkest bars I've been in, which helped our condition; except for the door being open to the back patio, the light came from some dim lamps. The bartender was nice albeit aloof, but then again it was easily understandable why. Poor bastard works the bar and the grill. Think your job sucks? Think about doing it along with working a grill. No bueno. Subsequently it took him awhile to get everything cooked with him serving people at the bar in between. The burger, while overcooked, was moist and flavorful. There was a bit of seasoning on it but not too much. The beef was decent quality and had a good meat-to-fat ratio. It reminded me of the kind of burger my mom makes. The bun was decent too along with the greasy-ass bacon. Even the frozen fries were pretty good. This wasn't fancy but it was good and it allowed me to function for the rest of the day, even if it wasn't the world beating burger some make it out to be. This meal hit the spot at the time, I just wish the hype hadn't been there. A place like this does best when the expectations are low or non-existent.
