HOBOKEN ? With more than 50 bars
to choose from, navigating Hoboken's
nightlife can be a little overwhelming.

The city has a variety of bars ? all
technically within walking distance,
since Hoboken is all of 1.3 square
miles. Business review site Yelp is a
common go-to for bar and restaurant
goers looking to narrow down their
options or explore new ones. The
reviews are subjective, but can help
give possible patrons a taste of a
business before heading out the door.

Looking at bars that received between
3.5 and five stars and had more than
40 reviews, these are the top-rated
bars in the city :

1. The Cuban Restaurant and
Bar, 333 Washington St.

The Cuban mixes traditional Latin
sophistication with a modern style,
serving authentic Cuban cuisine and
Latin-themed cocktails, according to its
website.

Common reviewer comment: Try the
mojitos.

2. Maxwell's, 1039 Washington St.

Though Maxwell's ended its reign as a
rock club legend in July, the bar still
seems to be resonating with reviewers.
The bar still hosts events, like movie
nights, and Tommy's Underground
Talent Show performs every Sunday at
the back of the bar.

Common reviewer comment: Bring a
date or a group of friends.

3. Pilsener Haus & Biergarten,
1422 Grand St.

Pilsener offers more than 50 American
and European bottled craft beers and
more than 20 imported drafts,
according to its website. Every
Tuesday, the bar takes 50 percent off of
most of its menu options.

Common reviewer comment: Try the
giant Bavarian pretzels.

4. Onieal's, 343 Park Ave.

According to its website, Onieal's is the
perfect place for patrons "looking for
good conversation and a pint, fitting
the dark mahogany decor." The bar/restaurant has live music every
Tuesday and Wednesday.

Common reviewer comment: The
restaurant's burger is the best in the
city.

5.Cooper's Union,104 Hudson St.

Cooper's Union serves craft cocktails
and international drafts, according to
its Facebook page. Common reviewer
comment: Great place to watch a
football game on Sundays.

6. Bin 14, 1314 Washington St.

Bin 14 bills itself as Hoboken's first
wine bar, opening its doors in 2008.
The bar offers more than 75 types of
wine.

Common reviewer recommendation:
Small plates pair well with wine
selection, but if you're a big eater,
you may want to dine elsewhere.

7. Madison Bar and Grill, 1316
Washington St.

The Madison pairs a 1940s-style decor
with "eclectic American cuisine,"
according to its website.

Common reviewer comment: Try the
yucca, steak or truffle fries. They are
apparently all worth the calories.

8. Mulligan's Pub, 159 First Street

Mulligan's is big on football ? in fact,
it bills itself as the state's "premier
football bar."

Common reviewer comment: Order
a pint of Guinness.

9. Northern Soul, 577 First Street

Northern Soul has vintage arcade
games, a pool table, darts, rotating art
shows and live music. Every Friday
and Saturday night, one of the bar's
resident DJs spins from 10 p.m. to 3
a.m.

Common reviewer comment: Perfect
for those looking for an "off-the-beaten-path" place.

10. Louion & Jerry's Tavern, 329
Washington St.

Yelp reviewers say this bar stands out
on Washington Street for its dive-bar
vibe. Louise & Jerry's has a jukebox,
pool table and the arcade game, "Big
Buck Hunter."

Common reviewer comment: Classic
dive bar with cheap drinks and a
great jukebox.
