The Golden Cicada

Love this outdoor bar in downtown jc. On a cool summer night this place is exactly the right spot for cold beers under the lights. The bartender are friendly and the atmosphere is super laid back. Def coming back for more !

This is a nice spot in jersey city. I will say - the vibe here is excellent! Outdoor space, nice staff, chill vibes. The food was average and the cocktails were a tad bit disappointing. If you’re coming here, I would recommend sticking to beers.

Good outdoor spot with lots of fish and veggie options. The outdoor seating is the main attraction. The large outdoor space is 30% covered by seating so there is room for children to run around, and that explains why there were so many families with children (at least until ~9pm on a Friday evening). The Cajun Shrimp and Guacamole was insufficiently seasoned and the Fried Shrimp was overcooked. The Shrimp Skewers, Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer and drinks were good.

Place is pretty good, we go there after volleyball sometimes. The outdoor bar area is great, plenty of space and drinks come pretty quick. The indoors is a bit cramped but serviceable. They have karaokes nights sometimes. Food is average.

Great location - creative cocktails and open atmosphere makes an outdoor summer place you come back to again and again. The owners are Jersey City locals (they own the Cliff in JC heights). And Gary's grandfather was a firefighter in town - what a beautiful legacy - Engine 3!!!

Great location…located at the heart of Jersey city…close from Grove street path station…open air Bar… great service… limited choice of drinks…parking is a big problem… specially on weekends. Paid street parking available, used ParkMobile app to pay.

Fun bar with a spacious outdoor area located in Jersey City, NJ. We all ordered margaritas, but I went one step further and got the jalapeno margarita. Although it was delicious, be warned because it was spicy!

This spot is great! It’s dog friendly with spacious outdoor seating. A ping pong table too. I sat outside and the view of the tall buildings next to it was nice. The server Natalie was so hospitable. The Purple Rain cocktail was very tasty! As for the food, my friend and I ordered the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, french fries, and shrimp quesadillas. My favorite was the shrimp tacos because they were well seasoned and the shrimp was grilled. I also loved the French Fries because they were crispy and fresh, just how I like it. I will definitely be going back in the summer. It’s my new Taco Tuesday spot!
