Black Bear Bar & Grill


Upon first walking into Black Bear Bar & Grill it was not easily distinguishable from one of the two hundred other bars gracing the streets of Hoboken; however, on closer inspection this one stands out as a lively combination of sports bar, restaurant, and impromptu dance club. Over fifty TVs are spaced throughout its two floor setup, ensuring that you’ll get a good view of whatever NY game is playing even if you don’t have a seat. Both floors offer bar and restaurant seating and the second floor bar also has a DJ pumping out dance music during game time commercial breaks. The menu boasts a wide variety of choices – from brunch to burgers to rigatoni in vodka sauce – and is a major step up from most bar food (the French fries are irresistible). NY sports fans mingle with pride here, but don’t expect to enjoy too much conversation – the cheers, TV, and dance music make it next to impossible to hear what anyone is saying unless they are sitting on your lap. Overall, this place has a fun atmosphere, good food, great sports and to top it off, is reasonably priced. Sure, it’s not technically located in NY, but I’d say it’s worth the trip over the bridge.

  1. With college basketball season quickly approaching, Black Bear is a great spot to catch a game. Their daily specials are largely oriented around sports events. On Tuesday night the place is often packed..a bucket of wings and pitcher of lager for $12.95 goes well with Super Tuesday basketball.
