Downtown Jersey City · Jersey City · Steep Index 8.6/10 · Steep Pick
A dimly lit cocktail bar on Grove Street with a cocktail-minded crew, a long bar menu and a backyard patio out back.
The Steep Index
The room is dark and inviting, the service is excellent and the staff talk cocktails. The Corita, mezcal and a rum blend with red bitter and pineapple, was exquisite, and the food menu is long enough to make a night of it.

The Space
A dimly lit room, dark and inviting, with cool music playing. Out back there is a comfortable patio.
The Pour
I ordered the Corita, a blend of mezcal and rum with a red bitter and pineapple. It was quite exquisite, and really delicious.
Dark, inviting, and the drink to match.
The Vibe
The staff are cocktail-forward and convivial, and the service was excellent. The bar and finger food menu is extensive.
The Verdict
Come after dark for the dim room and a round of cocktails, and take the patio if the weather allows. Order the Corita.
