Opening Details + About DRIFT
DRIFT Restaurant + Bar will soon be the latest addition to the Lincoln Harbor area of Weehawken — which we first reported on in January 2024. Formerly occupied by Houlihan’s, the 17,000-square-foot space has been vacant since 2019, per Jersey Digs.

While the renderings of the mid-century modern interior that include olive trees alongside emerald green, gold, and brown decor are stunning in themselves, a unique component of this new restaurant and bar will be a rotating dining platform that completes a full rotation each hour — giving diners views of the NYC skyline. There will also be a 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace with a retractable pergola.
As for the menu, the DRIFT team shared with The Hoboken Girl that it will focus on modern American cuisine with global influences and an emphasis on seafood, crafted by Executive Chef Bryan Noury. Some of the food options will include small plates, sushi + hand rolls, a raw bar, line-caught fish, steaks, flatbreads, and much more.
