(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Jersey City has its favorite waterfront bar back, but better than ever! Smorgasburg, which opened its first New Jersey location of its popular outdoor market on Saturdays at Harborside in late May, doubled down on its commitment to Jersey City last weekend with the opening of the outdoor beer garden at 3 Second Street. The soft opening was just in time for hundreds of people to enjoy the picture-perfect views of the July 4 fireworks.
Formerly known as the Lutze Biergarten, Smorgasbar has the best Manhattan Westside and Hudson River views in the region and will feature more than a dozen beers on tap, a full bar, frozen drinks, barbecue tacos from Carlitos, Oyster Party’s raw bar and lobster roll pop-ups on weekends, and outdoor wood-fired pizza from Hoboken’s San Giuseppe Pizza. The beer garden will be open Monday through Thursday from 3:00pm to 10:00pm; Friday from 3:00pm to Midnight; Saturday from Noon to Midnight; Sunday from Noon to 10:00pm.
“We couldn’t be more excited to instill our new and unique energy into this amazing venue,” said Jonathan Butler, co-founder of Smorgasburg. “The Jersey City community has welcomed us with open arms, and we are thrilled to finally invite them back to the waterfront to relax at Smorgasbar.’
In addition to welcoming walk-in guests (and their dogs!), Smorgasbar will also be available for private parties -- office gatherings, birthdays, weddings, etc. Interested parties should email jcbeergarden@gmail.com for more information.
