DC’s Tavern at 505 8th Street in Hoboken had been a go-to for many dive bar lovers looking for a good time away from the “main” bar scene on Washington Street for nearly 20 years. In 2020, right before the pandemic, it closed its doors for good. Now, word on the street is that the space will be getting a new tenant, but the info is a bit difficult to nail down. Read on for the latest updates on the space that’s currently under renovation.

What We Know

Though there were rumblings for months, the news was first officially released by Extra Mile Pet Care, a local friend of DC’s. Extra Mile posted an event in January 2020 on Facebook and Instagram called “The Last DC’s Dog Days,” and wrote in the caption, “This is going to be our last time doing dog days out of @dcstavern, 505 8th Street. Sadly, the bar will be closing, so we will be going all out. Come down, have a few drinks, and enter our raffle. All proceeds go to @wiseanimalrescue and their tireless effort to save all the puppies.” The bar closed shortly thereafter.

The space has been dormant for the last few years, with rumors of it being torn down, but also discussions of new life coming to the space.

One local restauranteur shared with The Hoboken Girl that they had looked at the space, but it required a lot of structural work to be usable in the future, and it didn’t seem feasible at the time. “The entire foundation needed to be replaced,” they explained.

We also called the broker who has the listing, as the property was still listed on Loopnet as of late September, but the broker did not have any record of the property being leased up. “Approved, to be newly renovated as vanilla box and new exterior. Single-story 750sf. Open to restaurant uses; venting/shaft should easily be achievable being single-story; City to approve. Additional businesses/concepts to be considered as well,” was written on the listing.

Upon walking by in September, it was easy to see that there was some movement at the space at 505 8th Street. There was caution tape and scaffolding all around the building. But if there is no known tenant, who is doing the work, and to what end?

A member of the HG team walked by the space on November 14th, and there seems to be even more progress at the space — although nothing is confirmed.

According to several sources, a Turkish grill + eatery may be coming to the space — but it has yet to be confirmed, so it’s still all alleged, for now. Next door, the owner of Hoboken Pizzeria also noted that he had heard the space was going to be a Turkish grill. The landlord’s leasing agent could not confirm that that was the case, however.

For now, it’s safe to say there’s movement happening, but what’s to come, remains to be seen.
