Eating & Drinking in Jersey City

The best thing about the Iron Monkey is the rooftop bar and patio seating. If you can walk up three flights of stairs without keeling over you’ll find out where all the action is. In the summer time it’s pretty great for people watching and mingling. If you’re single I would no doubt recommend this spot. The food is typical American bar food, some good some bad. The burgers are the real star of the menu.

Really good local bar and restaurant with great specials. My guy friends and I always go on Wednesdays for their $6 menu special. And they’re not skimpy about the portions. Trust me you can gorge yourself on BBQ, wings, ribs, etc. for just $6. I also really like this place because it’s intent on showcasing art and helping local artists. And the kicker is, the art’s actually good. This place is really loved by locals, you can tell because they dominate the bar stools.
