Not all places are able to swing an outdoor TV setup for their patio seating. Some locations are simply not equipped to continue their sports bar functionality. But luckily, some have managed to pull it off. A handful of bars in Hoboken and Jersey City have made the move toward outdoor seating with the added bonus of outdoor TVs. We’ve done the work so you don’t have to call bars and ask if they have a TV outside which makes it easy for football season.
