The Madison Bar & Grill

Went to dinner with 5 other people at 6:30 on a weekend night. It is a comfortable looking atmosphere. The food was good. I had Salmon dinner. It tasted good. I had a red sangria. Tasty and strong. No dessert, because we wanted to leave asap. I can’t talk about the rest of our parties food, because it was soo painfully noisy and loud, that we could not carry on a conversation. It was not terribly crowded in the dining room, so perhaps the noise from the bar, which was very crowded, carried. I would go back, but at a less busy time.

Food was outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed my hot chicken sandwich (fried chicken breast with coleslaw, pickles and I think, frizzled onions), along with rosemary (?) fries. My son loves his Bolognese, and was impressed with the beer selection. Service wasn't impressive, as we chose to eat outside, but that was on us. Again, we chose to eat outside, as it was a beautiful day, but you're in a plastic sheeted shed in the street on uncomfortable chairs. I'm sure atmosphere would be ***** if we ate inside.

Underwhelming place, actually. It’s not bad, but it’s not anything special. Not sure I would seek it out, and would go only if convenient.

A Hoboken classic

Don’t bother. Overpriced dive bar at a good location, looks like it’s trying to be a bistro + dj spot. July 2023 dinner inside atmosphere is confusing with linen table cloths and dj clurb music. The outside parklet is nice. Would not recommend dressing up for a nice date night- the majority of Friday night patrons wear t-shirt and shorts.

Vanessa the bartender is an absolute sweetheart and very knowledgeable.
