Willie McBride’s — Restaurant in Hoboken

went here for New Years Eve and paid $90 for an "open bar" from 9pm to 3am plus a buffet from 9pm to 10 pm...thought it was a good deal, until we got there (i was with a party of 6)...although it said open bar on the sign up page on the website and did not list any restrictions, there were restrictions left and right on what you could drink at the so-called open bar...when a customer would make a comment that they paid for an open bar, the bar tenders would make a snappy remark "thats the deal"...the bar tenders were cosistently rude and acted as if they were doing you a favor by getting you a drink...overall they were snobby and had an attitude...and the buffet, which again was not specified on the website, was some salad, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, some pasta, and sliced sausage with peppers...for $90 a head I expected a lot more, although I should have clarified their "terms" since clearly they were out to take advantage of customers...I will never...

This place is a joke. Back in the day when I used to live in Hoboken it was actually nice, but now apparently it's just a watering hole for douchey college graduates. The biggest thing going on now is beer pong in the back. And add to the ridiculousness of it it was actually 10 minutes before their dinner menu opened the waitress took the order she took it to the cook and the cook refused to do it and sent her back saying no even though there was only 10 minutes. They could have just as easily waited ten more minutes and just slow down the response and they would have had their first dinner customer. Instead he sent her back with a no. Now they get a big never again. I even asked for a manager and they said none...

This Saturday, me and a dozen other people wanted to have a game night in my yard, but it was pouring rain. I called Julie, the manager, and she said there wasn't a party booked in the back room and we were welcome to come, bring cards and board games, and enjoy the $5 Miller Lite mini-pitcher special. We were there for six hours and Julie, Nancy, and Vicki took amazing care of us. They made us feel at home, we always had a drink, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I've never had such great service from any other bar in Hoboken on a Saturday night.

I highly recommend the place on Saturdays when it's not too crowded, and Sunday and Monday when Matt and Terry are bartending for a relaxing chill environment...
