Today, April 7th, is National Beer Day — and not that we need one, but there’s truly no better reason (that and recent spring weather) to get outside + enjoy an ice-cold beer with friends. Luckily for us, we have a good number of local breweries + beer gardens right here in Hoboken + Jersey City that are making our warm-weather dreams come true, one draft (or bottled, or canned) beer at a time. Whether you are grabbing a beer at the pier or enjoying a German-style pint at the Pilsener, we’ve rounded up an ultimate guide to breweries and beer gardens in Hudson County.

902 Brewing Company | 101 Pacific Avenue, Jersey City

While City Bistro is not your typical beer garden per se, it does have an adorable rooftop that has a garden-like vibe. There are tables to sit at and eat or you can head to the bar where you will find a ton of beers on tap or cocktails of your choice. The food menu is a mix of Italian and American food from pizzas to wings to pasta dishes for all to enjoy. This is a great spot to watch the sunset and grab a beer with friends.

New Jersey Beer Co. is located in North Bergen and has been around for 10 years. The team started the business brewing just three delicious year-round beers, and it now produces a variety of unique and seasonal beers all year round. It stocks eight craft beers that are far from your typical Bud Light. From the Blood Orange India Pale Ale to the Hudson Pale Ale, there is a brew for everyone on this menu.

Pier 13 | 1301 Sinatra Drive North, Hoboken

While we’re still a few weeks out from Pier 13’s seasonal opening, we’d be remiss not to mention this Hoboken gem. The Pier has arguably the best views of NYC and equally great vibes. It’s not only dog-friendly but also family-friendly, too. Everyone flocks to the pier on a hot summer day. This Hoboken spot has over 20 refreshing and locally sourced beers from Hoboken Brewery to Brooklyn Brewery, including both draft and canned options. In addition to the beers, the Pier also serves classic mixed drinks, sangria, spiked seltzers, and more. Pier 13 always has an array of food trucks to cater to your munchies that they switch up daily. 

Pilsener Haus | 1422 Grand Street, Hoboken

While Hoboken doesn’t have many Beer Gardens, Pilsener Haus + Biergarten is certainly a favorite. The outdoor Biergarten is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends. Pilsner Haus has an enormous list of draft and craft beers, beers on tap, IPAs, sours, and more. Be sure not to skip out on the famous warm Bavarian pretzels served with whole grain mustard and Liptauer cheese or indulge in the classic sausages, and schnitzels, as well as vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Porta | 135 Newark Avenue, Jersey City

Another rooftop that boasts craft beers and all the pizza, Porta is not your average beer hall. It is another wonderful place in Jersey City where you can drink outside with friends while enjoying a cold one. It also has delicious food from cacio e pepe pizza to pasta and meatballs. The rooftop is a fun spot to hang with friends on a sunny day.
