Michael Anthony's has a back room they rent out for parties - the Golden Cicada can be had for next to nothing -- and many people throw free parties in Liberty State Park - but then there can be no visible drinking -- but somehow I don't see that in your future!

I was thinking Iron Monkey roof deck or Skinners roof deck. Don't know if either would be open to doing that though.
also, back patio at Port-O-Lounge.

The Iron Monkey roofdeck?

You could rent the top floor at John's Pizzeria by Exchange Place and have a drunken pizza party. It's nice up there, but not outside, and there's a private bar.

I'm looking for more of a drink-oriented birthday. I definitely will require a bar!

I highly recommend Tommy Two Scoops... they do not have a bar but you can BYOB (much better!) and they can customize the menu. They don't have sliders on their menu but I asked them to grill beef and turkey sliders for my party and they were delicious! There's lots of room in the backyard for a large party and they also have a tent in case it rains.

Teppan hibachi is good for smaller parties.

Hey guys,

I'd love some suggestions on the best place to throw a birthday party in JC. My preferences are: an outdoor space, and availability of an open bar or at least drink specials type of deal. Was thinking maybe Michael Anthony's. Any suggestions?
