Remember in 2020 when everyone was making “nacho tables,” placing a platter of nachos and toppings directly on a table for everyone to eat? No Hoboken restaurants have provided this yet, but two local bars are serving up an app that’s just as indulgent. Texas Arizona and River Street Garage just launched a shareable appetizer sampler, an indulgent platter of fried pub grub loaded with mozz sticks, onion rings, tots, wings, fries, etc. etc. Every Thursday + Friday from 5:00PM to 10:00PM, bargoers at both spots can score the platter for just $9. It feeds around six people: the perfect pregame before a night out. Read on to learn more about the new food items at two of Hoboken’s most popular bars.
About Texas Arizona
Texas Arizona has always been a home for Hoboken sports lovers, especially on Penn State game days. But real ones know that the food is just as good as the football fanfare.
While the game day energy and DJ sets draw people in, the menu is strong enough to warrant a visit any night of the week. Standouts include shrimp tacos, mini cheeseburgers, and buffalo chicken club. The menu balances bar classics with crowd-pleasers that work for groups.
Texas Arizona has been Hoboken’s sports-watching headquarters for years, especially on Penn State game days.

About River Street Garage
Right next door is River Street Garage, downtown Hoboken’s live-music lounge: part concert venue, part hangout spot, and part restaurant. The garage-chic décor, the retro lighting, the music lineup all set the vintage scene — but once you sit down, the menu steals the show with rock-themed comfort-food favorites like the Party Pretzel, “Van Halen” Grilled Cheese, and a Caesar.

$9 Appetizer Sampler
Now, the sampler: on Thursdays + Fridays from 5PM–10PM, both spots are offering their App Sampler for just $9 — and it’s built for sharing (feeds about five to six people).
Sampler Includes:
- Mozzarella Sticks
- Wings
- Mac and Cheese Bites
- Onion Rings
- French Fries
- Tater Tots
- Jalapeno Poppers
Just think: drinks flowing, good music, and enough food to keep everyone happy — all without breaking the bank.
