Reviews for The Brightside Tavern in Jersey City, NJ
The food is delicious I had the Philly cheese steak and my daughter had the tuna melt, and of course onion rings. The servings... sizes were enough for two people and fries or sweet potatoe fries are included. Not greasy, and the drinks are in a tallglass. Very much worth your money. I was there for the Community Treasures karaoke night on Tuesdays and I had so much funbelting out tunes with a very warm audience. Everyone had fun. We brought some toys for the toy drive and others made adonation. I want to make this my winter hangout, I had so much fun. Come out and maybe we'll see each other there! Read more

Service could of been better with more staff, which would of made food better. 30 minutes before order was taken, grant it we... weren’t ready to order after searching for a table to seat ourselves but 30 minutes later is just crazy. Private party inother room I thought I was in attendance to bc it was loud a few times. A door instead of a curtain may help prevent this. Thiscould also be why staff was short bc they were tending to private party. I’m not sure but bar staff was the server and wasbusting tables. Our original server became too overwhelmed with tables and another female server came to tend to us and tablebehind us that was waiting to check out for about 15 minutes. She was a great help but our original server was back and do hisbest. You can tell the staff was over worked. Tequila Drink was not good bc the soda was flat but the honey Hennessy wasn’ttoo bad. Pizza sauce was sweet. I will give this place another try in hopes that they see this review and do better. Read more

This is my friends neighborhood bar. I really enjoyed how personal and friendly they were fir the exception of one blonde bar... tender. Unfortunately she never greeted us and served the other guest before making her to us to see if we were being helped. Ireally fell in love with Buffalo wings and the blue cheese sauce. This was my second time eating there and things keep gettingbetter. I definitely recommend this bar for game day or just to pre game. They have big tvs and clean restrooms. The service wasgreat except for the blond bar tender but even her her lack of customer service wouldn't stop me from coming back Read more
I hosted a intimate dinner party to celebrate my birthday here. I food was good and everyone was pleased however it was... difficult to nail down details with planning. I definitely feel like the owner should hire a event manager to make sure detailsare handled properly! Overall the party was nice . My guest and I had a good time. Read more
I can't say its was special place or food. Avocado toast was okay. But chicken absolutely disappointed. Mango desert didnt had... mango flavor at all its more milky vanilla teast. Read more
The service was unbelievably slow. It took more than an hour to get our entrees, and no one came by to refill our waters or... offer more drinks the entire two hours we were there. The owner was friendly and welcoming but that didn't make up for the longwait, which no one even acknowledged or apologized for. Food was just ok - 2 of our 4 entrees were soggy. Also, they had musicplaying loudly from a TV by the bar while live music was being performed in the next room, which together was chaotic andunpleasant. I wouldn't go back. Read more
