Black Bear Hoboken Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Hoboken

Don't go here at anytime the bar might be remotely full and expect decent service

Tuesday night, all you can eat wings are the special for the night. We order them. Whoops -- we're all out! And they bring out the replacement of sliced chicken cutlets (?) without telling us about the situation.

Nevertheless, we stick with the wings, seeking to take advantage of the all you can eat deal. Good luck with that -- they brought out each order of wings so slowly that it seemed as though they were trying to wait out your appetites, hoping you decide to pack it in after one or two orders. Same with the beer -- we each got one drink over the course of a dragged out hour-fifteen-ish long dinner.

We had to ask another waiter for the check since ours was MIA, and when said check did show up, gratituity for a "large party" was already included. Our party was 6 people. I work in the industry -- that's not a large party.

All in all, enough of a bad experience that I won't be going back as there are plenty of other bars in Hoboken that handle themselves far more professionally.

Lots...

Rudest host we’ve ever encountered. Came here to watch the Kentucky Derby and was waiting several minutes for someone to show up to seat us at an open table near the big screen tv. We walked over to the open table and sat down thinking maybe there isn’t a host.

A group of 5 Chad’s walk in and the host finally shows up and tells them they can take the table we were already sitting at. She told me there’s a table for 2 at the back of the bar nowhere near the big screen tv. I told her that we were waiting for her to show up and that we were there first and would like to sit near the big screen for the race. She told me she was still giving the table to the Chad’s, so I told her we would just leave, to which she smiled and replied “ok”.

Have told all my friends and family never to go to this place as the service is the worst we’ve ever experienced. Apparently they don’t need business...

Located in busy Hoboken, parking can be tough, but public transportation is good. The atmosphere is dim lit and there are numerous televisions, all with some sort of sports on.. Music is at a good level. Service was prompt and both the bartender and waiter were friendly. I ordered a steak wrap with onions, and swapped out the cheddar for Swiss and requested non Chipotle bbq sauce. The sauce was fairly bland. The rest of the wrap was very good. Fries were fairly standard with no seasoning. I left hungry however. A friend got the double wings and was disappointed that it was 12 wings for $30, plus tax and tip. He left hungry. The bar had a good selection of drinks and taps. Bathrooms were fairly clean, but no paper towels. Expect to pay around 20-30 for just food (2024). I would not return to this establishment.

Also note, check your tab, they included a 20%...
