Pier 115 Bar and Grill

The view outside of the city is breathe taking. However the wait is exceptionally long, so grab some drinks to pass away the time. I had to the margherita pizza and that was pretty good. Drinks are a little pricey but that’s ok they make it strong

Never stepping foot in here again. The atmosphere is super pretentious and the service is flat out atrocious. It’s a real shame bc their food isn’t that bad, and the view is great. However, when you are seated inside, then outside, then back inside bc servers don’t communicate woth hostesses… no. I don’t like playing musical chairs when I come to dine.

Noisy place but expected for a sports bar. Great view of NYC. Food was good, not great, and it all came out cold. Good waiter, though, who seriously apologized for the cold food and offered us free desserts, which came out cold!!! Ice cream, sherbert, cheesecake! How! Ha!

Came here on a sunny midday for drinks. It was a nice, chill spot with cool views of the Hudson and the Manhattan skyline. The drinks were priced reasonably which is always a plus.

I’ve been here a handful of times, mostly for drinks and for the view. The bar faces Mid-​town Manhattan and if you sit outside (if you can get a seat) you’ll get great views of it to your right and Lower Manhattan off in the distance.
I recently got around to trying some of the food and was rather impressed with the wood fired Margherita pizza as well as the freshness of the hummus and pita. I admit that I probably only ordered food because of the service offered outdoors. While there’s no bar outside, there is service, though the waiter specifically asked if we wanted to eat as opposed to asking if we wanted another round of drinks, so the outdoor service may not be exclusively cocktail service in case you were looking to skip the food.
As for parking, you have three options. First, you can be a baller and pull up to the valet, who will park your car on the dock at the main entrance with all the other Maseratis, Aston Martins, and Ferraris, but this option is stilly. Why? Because it’s $ 5 whereas your second option is to park just before the main entrance in the second tier lot for free. You then have about a 2 minute walk. Or, you can do what I do and just park in front of the building just as you turn off River Road. This option leaves you with about a 3 – 4 minute walk.
The only reason I’m stuck at 4 stars is because of the bar service. It’s always so slow and they take forever to close out your tab.

So I came here last week for a middle school get together. There was about 9 of us. This place is hidden, we passed it twice trying to get to the parking.
So we didn’t plan on just getting appetizers and splitting it all but that’s what we did. I’m glad tho because we had the chance to taste a little of everything. The mac and cheese, prosciutto pizza, and tuna avocado dip was SO good! The server we had was just great, she was very attentive although she was very busy on a Saturday night.
The view out back is beautiful along with the vibe and music surrounding it. This was the perfect spot for us to all reunite. I would also recommend this place as a date night but for that I’d say arrive earlier in the evening. Once it’s around 11PM it turns into a lounge/​club.
When returning to Jersey, I’d like to go back maybe for brunch or something on a beautiful day.
Only complaints here was trying to find the place and when I called to make reservations the first time and get further information, the lady was rude! Besides that great time and great food.

Love this place! The views are amazing and the food is great! For appetizer try the Mac & cheese or hummus! For entrée honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with anything!
The ONLY down side to this place is that they have a ton of beers (awesome) on tap BUT the wait staff has little to no knowledge about the beer.
It won’t stop me from coming back though! love this place

Great margherita pizza! Came here w my best friend for the SECOND time for a girls night out and the staff was friendly! The view of NYC is amazing of course! Would definitely go back :)

Edgewater is far. It’s like at the edge of the water or something.
But sometimes you have to suck it up and be a good friend and trek out to Edgewater for a birthday party.
Pier 115 is cool, a bit hidden, and tricky to get to. Your cab driver will probably miss the entrance because the sign for the parking lot is tiny.
Then you drive for a long time to get to the edge of the property. Then you can walk the rest of the way.
We came early for dinner and was told the wait would be around half an hour. Then it started raining outside, so they brought everyone in and pushed everyone on the waitlist back. It got to the point where it didn’t make sense to sit down and we just ordered bar food.
The margherita pizza was good. The calamari was okay. The giant pretzel with the beer cheese was yummy. The truffle tots are deeeelicious (though truffles are like cheating).
Their beer selection here is top notch. They’ll have just about one of everything.
The crowd is hit or miss, even within the few hours I was there.
But hey, it was a good time.

Came here for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We saw the signs for valet parking, but chose the self parking option in a SUPER sketchy looking parking lot.
The inside of the bar/​restaurant is very, very loud. We had to shout to hear each other. I think this would be a good place to party at night (great outdoor section on the pier with a fantastic view of NYC), but I wouldn’t recommend it for lunch.
Service, noise level and ambiance aside, the biggest issue we had was with the food. It’s just not good. It’s not cheap either ($ 18 for a burger, $ 12 for a soft pretzel $ 8+ for the beer). My burger was very bland and boring. No contrasting textures (just mushy and greasy) and completely lacking in flavor. One of the worst burgers I’ve had in a long time.
Go to Haven which is just down the street. Better ambiance, waaaay better food and the view is just as nice.

Great place if you want something by the water I go for lunch and Dinner is great fun if you go with friends have a long bar…
Food is great love the choices…
Friendly service and spectacular city view!!!

I had a gift certificate and its Mother’s Day so my husband and I decided to go a little fancier than usual. We were definitely out of our element and I was worried the service would suffer if the staff noticed. Nothing could be further from the truth. We were seated immediately (6:15 reservations I’m sure made this possible). Other reviewers were critical of the service but they must not have had Zoey. Friendly, helpful and attentive without being overbearing. She suggested the crab and avocado dip to start and it was YUMMY! I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. My salmon was fantastic and he said it was the best fish & chips he has ever had. Even my Vitamin-​M signature cocktail was great.
The only thing that wasn’t great was the volume from the bar. The very drunk, VERY loud, woman a few tables over was annoying to say the least. Other than that it was a great food and great service. Hoping to return soon!

I have been here a few times now. First off do not come here as a walk in as you might have to wait longer then tolerable. They do accept reservations though and even during the day of.
They have seating outside but it’s first come and first serve. You cannot even make a reservation for the outside. I got lucky one time and hung outside with friends, it’s really an awesome view.
Surprisingly I never tried the entrees but love there appetizers m. My favorites are the muscles, margarita pizza, and the teriyaki wings. I tried the lamb lollipops as well and they were very tasty but to expensive for only 3 pieces. Drinks are pretty good I have tried a few, but usually settle for the Firestone on tap!
Overall a nice place to visit and I would recommend it for a date.

My friends came here for 2 of my friends 30^th birthdays and we were were all dancing and having a fun time. Out of nowhere the bouncers targeted my friend who’s birthday it was (who is a 5’8 small Caucasian male lol) and took him out for no good reason. They just couldn’t handle his dance moves which granted were a bit wild lol… but he was not hurting anyone or himself nor demonstrating any dangerous behavior. He had been dancing this way for up to 2hrs before they decided to throw him out. The only difference was some of us who were dancing with him (albeit just as wild) had sat down to rest, leaving his moves exposed… and he was so funny we were filming him on camera for a couple of laughs.
Their rational was that he was a «liability» because he was intoxicated and they were afraid he would fall (and they would get sued and lose their jobs. not that he would get hurt… which they made clear), but everyone drinks at a nightclub and if he can dance like that clearly he is not going to fall! If they were so concerned they could have asked him simply to sit down and rest or even given him water, but instead they used force and physically took him out of the club and wouldn’t let him back in no matter what any of us said.
The bouncers clearly need additional training in order to do their job properly and identify people who are ACTUAL threats within the lounge. i. e people who are starting up trouble with others, wobbling, throwing up, yelling, etc… instead of people who are simply DANCING and having a fun time!
These bouncers were clearly more concerned with exerting their control and power rather than managing situations appropriately.
Me and my group of friends are all hardworking professionals in the community and they just ruined our night for no good reason at all. Not to mention all the money we spent on dinner and drinks beforehand! We won’t be coming back here. This establishment owes us an apology and should compensate us for unduly treating us the way they did. … and in case you don’t want to read all of this
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
IF YOU WANNA DANCE AND HAVE A FUN TIME GO ELSEWHERE!

The Cesar salad — unfortunately the worst dressing I have tasted. 1) I had to ask for more dressing and 2) it was still bad (almost tasted like really old sardines) that I had to order a different dressing (ginger mayo). I really should have just asked them to remake it. The wings were good though.

Somewhere in between 3.5 and 4 stars…
The cocktails are great and from the looks of the wine wall — there is a decent collection of Reds. I went with a gin mixture that has spicy peppers and asked the waiter to add even more. He warned me it’s already quite spicy; I warned him that MAMA LIKES IT HOT. It was exactly what I was craving and went very well with the meal.
When it comes to food, I would recommend trying the truffle mac and cheese (DEEE-​Lish) and Crispy Calamari (A+ for the sauce served with this one). I also tried the prosciutto vodka sauce pizza but it wasn’t wonderful. The crust was very good, and I think that the pizza could be great without the prosciutto or with the prosciutto chopped up; however, the entire thigh of the pig just lays on your slice and you have to awkwardly nibble away. I ripped the whole piece off and placed it aside, not even eating it — which is a complete waste of good prosciutto.
The water front view is stellar! Although I came when it was quite cold out and did not get to enjoy the outdoor seating, the ambiance was still great from the inside.
The service was initially very attentive then im not sure if they were switching shifts, but we were forgotten about.

This was my first time at Pier 115. My friend and I decided to come for a Happy Hour and we both had an OK time. When driving to the location you have to make sure to drive all the way down to the pier. You might get confused because you see the UFC gym but keep driving! Pier 115 is further down.
We arrived at about 6pm and were lucky enough to secure the last two seats at the bar. For food we ordered the Wood Fired Pizza $ 10. This we really liked. It was more then enough for two people and we ended up leaving a slice extra because we were full. The ingredients were nice and fresh and came out pretty quickly considering how busy they were.
For drinks we ordered one of the specials which was called «I Trust My Bartender.» I can’t even tell you what the cocktail was called because our bartender didn’t even know the name. Not sure if they simply mix together some concoctions or it really is a secret. What I can say is I tasted pineapple juice and there were mint leaves floating around. It was an OK cocktail. I wouldn’t order it again because I felt it tasted very sour for my liking.
I understand that it was busy but the service was ridiculously slow. The only thing that came out quick was the pizza. To get our drinks, an additional round, the bill, and even some water was painfully slow. We would get the attention of one bartender to be ignored to get the attention of the bar back who would then say that he would get the attention of the other bartender. It was a carousel. It took a gentlemen sitting next to us who happens to be a regular that called the bartender by his name and asked him to «help these girls out.»
Pier 115 will definitely be seeing me again because the atmosphere was great and the view of NYC is always nice to gaze at. Once it gets warmer I do know they open up the area so you can sit down on chairs outside so that’s something nice to look forward too. I will be back to give this place another chance.

Good food, great drinks. Sweet bartenders. Lovely ambience with wonderful views of the city. Plenty of parking. Now that the weather is warming up, it is perfect for romantic seating outside on the patio.

I have been to Pier 115 several times and have had mixed reviews (the service can be hit or miss). It is a great place to meet friends after work for a drink or to watch a game. On a Friday/​Saturday night it gets packed. It may be a little difficult to find (hidden) if you have not been there before because it is all the way in the back on the water and you can not see it from River Road. There is valet parking, but there is always ample parking available. As for the food, it is good. The wait time for food can be 10 – 15 minutes if it is crowded. I would recommend their burgers or their thin crust pizzas. The prices are on the higher side, but you do get an great view of the city, so therefore in my eyes its justified. I would highly recommend Pier 115 to anyone looking for a good date spot or a place to grab a drink.
I would rate Pier 115 as follows: Food is 3.5 Stars, Atmosphere is 4 Stars, Price is 3 Stars, and Service is 3 Stars
The views expressed are of my own and are my true personal experience at this establishment. My personal experience may not reflect this actual establishment, their quality or someone else’s experience at the establishment.

Interesting place. First time visitor to this establishment. Best sports bar I’ve been in. And tonight is game 4 of World Series. And each hit Mets get the place erupts. I guess they Mets fans. Lol
This place is highly recommended by me. I can see myself here often. They have a room in back for private party. There are many large televisions all throughout the place.
For appetizer we had the bourbon and teriyaki crispy wings. A dozen comes with the order. And they were prepared very well. Crispy but not burnt.
Ordered pepperoni pizza and fish and chips. Both were so good. The pizza is a thin crust and so good. The fish was Cod was in a beer batter amd prepared so good. Light amd flaky.
It would be best to use Valet parking. It cost 5 dollars this evening. Very worth it considering the walk it will be if you self park
I would definitely be recommending this place. And I will be back.
If you have not made it over here. You should give it a try.
