I stopped by Corkscrew Bar in Jersey City and had a fun, laid-back experience. The place has a classic neighborhood bar vibe—casual, lively, and the kind of spot where locals come to relax, watch sports, and hang out with friends.
The food was solid comfort bar food. I tried one of their burgers and some fries, and both were really satisfying. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the portion was generous. They’re especially known for items like burgers, wings, wraps, and bar-style pizza, which makes it a great place if you’re craving classic pub food.
The atmosphere felt energetic with TVs playing sports and people enjoying drinks. The bar also has a good selection of beers and cocktails, which pairs perfectly with the food.
Service was friendly and fairly quick, even though the place was a bit busy. Overall, Corkscrew Bar is a great neighborhood hangout if you want a relaxed bar, good burgers, and a fun local crowd. I’d definitely stop by again for a casual night out.

We’ve been wanting to try Corkscrew Bar for months and I’m so glad we finally went. The food was amazing and our servers quite lovely. I got the Jersey burger and it was phenomenal! Perfectly cooked and one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten (I should mention that I am not generally a burger person and I will go back for this burger!) my husband got the double burger and it was huge! And delicious! Definitely best burger in the heights. We also got Cajun waffle fries which were delicious but very salty from the Seasoning. Still worth it! We also got onion rings and wings. Again, really good. The portions were much larger than anticipated so quite worth the price. We also loved the cider selection!
Can’t wait to go back since we’re now local.

Really enjoyed this spot! Took my girlfriend here to watch some of the games that were on and I was amazed by how great the food was. When we first walked in I was a little skeptical at first, it’s a small place and took awhile for someone to acknowledge that we were there. However once we were served the bar tenderers couldn’t have been any nicer. The food was amazing we got wings to share which were super crispy just how we like them. The burger and chicken sandwich were also cooked perfectly and the drinks weren’t to strong or too sweet. Really enjoyed my experience here and I’ll definitely be returning sooner rather than later.

I’ve been coming to Corkscrew Bar and Grill for years, and Nadine really stood out to me. The first time she served me it was busy, but she still greeted me with a big smile and made sure I was taken care of right away. What impressed me most was that the next time I came in, she already remembered my name and my drink — that kind of attention makes a big difference. She also made me the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Even when the bar is packed, she’s quick, efficient, and still makes everyone feel welcome. I also guess they have a new burger or something because she even pulled out a light from her purse and took pictures of it and you can tell when a bartender CARES. Love this place and the food is always AMAZING. Chef that’s there on Sundays is awesome.

Nice pub located in Jersey City. We’ve been there in a Sunday evening and there were some tables available. Atmosphere is simple, but welcoming. We’ve ordered a few beers, mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers – all of them were good enough. We be need to get back to try the hamburgers – the place is famous for them!

First time but certainly not the last. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and they were slammed with a 9-top, 80% full indoor, and a full patio (nice spring day).
But the bartender/server absolutely KILLED IT. Handled the entire restaurant alone. Her speed, grace and focus were incredible. Latina and lively. Always positive and laughing, engaging with the customers, polite but honest on service times, attentive to everyone. Familiar with the locals and welcoming to new-comers like me. I would give 5-stars on her performance alone. Her staff in the back was great too, whipping out orders as fast as possible. Excellent team effort. Honestly can’t say enough with how impressed I was.
And that’s not to mention the food/drink.
I wanted an IPA, was recommended two, eventually tried both, both delicious. (Neglected my 2nd, but wouldn’t let me drink a ‘flat’ beer, so she topped me off with a fresh pour – A+)
I got the Smokehouse Burger and it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly (med.-well) and that mix of BBQ sauce with spicy aioli? I mean wow. The bun was A+, butter toasted and fresh. The Cajun fries were a little salty but the Cajun seasoning had a delicious kick.
Only complaint is that the sauce that came with the fries didn’t look very appetizing but upon trying was actually very tasty. Overall food and drink were A+.
Well done Corkscrew. A great time with amazing service and delicious food. A true treasure to the community. Will be back with friends, and will recommend to everyone I know. Thank you.

I thought about this for a while – and then saw some of the recent comments from other people that had issues at this place for almost 2 years now. I posted a review on here a couple months ago, basically saying how this place has gone downhill since the owner’s wife started running/ruining it. I decided to delete it because that owner’s wife kept responding with incoherent messages (saying nothing is ever her fault and blaming the bartenders, compares their burgers to McDonald’s for some reason) – to the point that I had to keep updating my review so I could correct her and put her in check. I got tired of going back and forth with her and I deleted everything. All you gotta do is look at the critical reviews and see how she (or the actual owner) respond to the customers. That should tell you everything you need to know. Losing at least 6, 7 bartenders in under 2 years, you’re the problem. Trashing your own bartenders online, accusing them of stealing with no proof to back up your claim, or sending your employees threatening text messages constantly, you’re the problem. Refusing to provide security for the female bartenders after they keep asking you for it (and the regulars have to police the place instead), or you try to make a bartender pay out of pocket for damages caused by the weather (which then makes that bartender turn around and quit) – you’re the problem. Telling customers they can stop coming to the bar, instead of finding out what’s wrong and working to fix the problems in the first place means YOU are the problem. Period. A regular at this spot for damn near a decade – I will not set foot in this place again until either its sold to someone else, or it just goes out of business…which might be happening sooner rather than later.
On a side note – it’s interesting that when someone posts a critical review of this place, a bunch of random 4 and 5-star reviews start to pop up. Do y’all see that?

This is a fun neighborhood bar with great services. Everyone was very personable here. Bar food was okay but it stood out in this area. You should definitely try their burgers if you are ever here. Good beer selections and many gin cocktail options.

I usually go there to have a good time, but lately it’s always the same bartender Carlos, with his bad attitude. This Friday he even argued with a customer, which I found very disrespectful to the rest of us. On top of that, it often seems like he’s working under the influence of … substances
We can go anywherer? Yes but if we choose to go to Corkscrew, it’s because we used to love that place, sadly the vibe has changed a lot.
