Brightside Tavern

A true neighborhood gem . Great food and drinks, and friendly staff . Come on Monday evenings between 8pm-midnight to catch some live jazz .

Any awesome joint for drinks, dinner and entertainment!!!! If anyone would like to meet a great down to earth individual, ask to speak with the owner! This will be my local hang out!

Monday nights - when local jazz musicians come into jam - are the best! They start slow and get better as the night goes on. Look for Andrea - jazz flautist - she is amazing.

Brunch is great. The Sausage Gravy and Biscuits , the Pancakes and the French toast were awesome. Great staff and the owner is outstanding.

Mondays So Fun!! There's a Great Jazz Trio playing starting at 8pm. It's the Most Fun! The Food is Divine and The Service is Excellent! ❤️

Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month there is a Latin Night with a free salsa/bachata dance lesson from 8-9. Nice atmosphere

$20 brunch includes muffins , entree, and 3 mimosas or bloody Mary's . Very worth it.

Absolutely one of our fav spots in JC! Everyone is always friendly , great happy hour and the owner rocks!

The cheesecake lollipops are delicious. Say hi to Tommy the owner while you're there. He wants to talk to everyone there and make sure they're having a good time.

Tommy Two-Scoops will have someone drive you to the light rail in the free shuttle . Awesome apps and prices, charming owner. A JC must!

The wings were great. Leon the bartenders me feel like a regular!! He makes an awesome drink too!!

Still finding it niche and Sandy didn't help at all but brunch options are great and the owner is super attentive.

Intimate/cozy spot. Staff is friendly as well as the crowd. Great mix

Packed. Great spot with awesome food and beer

Texas burger & pulled pork sandwich are absolutely delicious.

Say hello to Tommy if you see him and order a duck burger !

Terrible Service!!! The worst bartending experience ever. All of them were completely lost. No one knew how to work the payment system, they couldn’t competently pour a drink. Wow. Stay away.

The Brightside Tavern

Nice spot. Good drinks

SHRIMP PIZZA AND CAJUN PASTA WERE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!

Lamb burger

Enthusiastic, though mediocre service, but food is just alright.

If it's not a liquid be prepared to wait

So we walked in at 12:05, ordered a soup and grilled chicken salad . 40 minutes later still no salad . But the guy that came way after was already eating his burger . Really?!

Best Burgers in Jersey City!

Citrus braised short rib panini ?? Hell yeah!!

Moroccan lamb burger with fries

I'm in here 40 min. Still didn't get my salad . Have to leave
