After about a year of planning and construction, Barcade Jersey City is set to open to the public next week. Co-owner Paul Kermizian says the highly anticipated American craft beer bar/arcade has officially passed all inspections and will open around April 21. We take a peek inside.
“Most Portuguese restaurants are Lisbon style. I’ve never seen anybody mention the second-biggest city in Portugal (Porto),” Felipe Costa says. “It’s easy to pronounce; it’s an interesting city. So I decided to name the restaurant after it.”
With the craft beer resurgence going strong, several Jersey City bars have beefed up their obscure selections in efforts to lay claim to the title of Jersey City’s best craft beer bar. Perhaps the most unlikely of the bars to take this route is Star Bar, a hole-in-the-wall gay bar tucked away on Wayne Street right off of Grove.
After three and a half months of going the BYOB route, 9th & Coles Tavern near Hamilton Park in Downtown Jersey City (at right) has finally secured its liquor license, and started serving booze last night. “We’re starting with basic bar necessities tonight (some bottle beer, wine and basic liquors),” the restaurant said on its [...]

That loud friend in a group of friends is animatedly rehashing the A-Rod/Dallas Braden controversy in O’Hara’s Downtown — this despite the 10 or so wide-screen HD televisions showing the final match of the World Cup, despite the mostly filled bar of Spanish and Dutch loyalists, even if just for the time being.
Unlike its namesake, there was a distinct lack of explosiveness in the deflation of Zeppelin Hall’s U.S. soccer fans Saturday afternoon. The de-massing of the German-style beer hall– in single-file, or in small clumps of friends, silent or angry or still in denial– took the air out of the room and the national team’s fans with them.
