Morans

I’ve been waiting for the kitchen to open for a long time. I’m not disappointed. Pat la Freda burger is delicious. Big meaty fresh wings as a starter were perfect. amazing atmosphere and great service. You won’t go wrong

Staff is so friendly and kind. Great, strong, tasty cocktails. Food is delicious, especially the sweet potato wedges and Irish «poutine»! V. good jukebox too, I love Moran’s v much (:

Great local bar nestled away from the fratty bars on Washington St. Staff is great — Kevin takes good care of everyone. The place gets packed on St Patty’s day! Morans is the first bar I’ve ever visited in Hoboken and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Great dive & towny bar for Hoboken — juke box, darts, secluded from the douchery of the rest of the city. Bartenders are friendly, funny, gracious with buy backs & pours when you are friendly and generous w/​tips. Wish we knew about earlier!

I really like the inside of the bar, but there are some serious flaws as well.
Pros:
Darts and other bar games
Layout and ambiance (very neighborhood feel)
Cheap drinks
Friendly bartenders
Great place to relax for a couple drinks
Cons:
No food
Poor beer selection
If you are going to be a drinks-​only type of bar, step up your game and get some good taps.

«Great bartenders, great drinks, atmosphere — darts, amazing juke box and buy backs!»
What is there not to like about Moran’s? It’s one of the last true Irish bars in Hoboken. I originally came here to meet one of my buddies who was living in Hoboken and going to Seton Hall Law School what seems like 5 years ago. Since then, I’ve moved all over Hoboken from Uptown to Downtown and then to Mid-​town and consider this bar one of the best and the neighborhood bar to friends, family and all who visit. No matter whom I or friends bring here, they always leave with a smile on their face, staying longer than intended and one or two many drinks in them and a new bar they love. The best part is, it’s as some say, off the beaten path, (aka off Washington Street and not downtown) so it’s typically locals during the week and pretty easy to get a seat, yet packed on weekends… When my father or friends come down, I often suggest grabbing a beer or few before going to get something to eat. On one occasion, Kevin had pizzas ordered and my father and I just grabbed a slice or two and watched the 1 and 4 O’clock games. While they weren’t previously opened on Sundays they started this past season. As I mentioned above, they don’t have food but you may order and have it delivered. It’s the Hoboken Cheers. You can be comfortable alone and able to hang out waiting for friends to arrive or just chill with one or two and able to have seats and be able to talk without a thousand people pushing you to get a drink or spot at the bar.

I am not into the bar scene. It’s loud, crowded and just downright pathetic. Morans however has changed my view. The Juke Box (worlds most amazing Juke Box actually) is set at such a perfect volume, you can actually TALK to the people at your table instead of screaming at them all night. The layout of the place is perfect, even with the billiards table there are plenty of seats and stools available for a pretty busy night. The scene, the scene is cool. Very mixed crowd, no «tools and douches» (that I saw) and I happened to even see the mayor (think of her what you will) hanging out here. Trust me, this place is great.
OH! I almost forgot… THEY HAVE CLEAN TAPS! DELICIOUS AND AFFORDABLE BEER!!!

Calm
Pub with
Buck hunter
And darts. TVs
And the usual suspects are on tap.

Place has a nice atmosphere got some dart and its away from the usual crowd as far as I know

Morans is the best. Kevin is the man. Visit Moran’s, you won’t be dissapointed.

Darts! Do it!
Laid back neighborhood bar… two dartboards, friendly bartenders, several TVs. Clean, updated, juke box, great place for relaxing with some friends and a few beers. Love Morans.

*Sigh* what is there not to like about Morans?
Want a Guinness or shot of Jameson? No problem!
Want a friendly bartender? All of the guys are great, but Kevin is the best.
Want to hear some specific tunes to get your night going? Dollar Juke Box anyone? Want a very specific type of food? You can order in from anywhere and eat at Morans.
With probable some of the friendliest bartenders in the world and buy-​backs at the bar, it is hard not to like Morans. No outdoor seating, but they have a little room at the back which you can reserve, or, well, just drink and play darts in. It is definitely a gem off the beaten typical frat and ho-​bro bar scene in Hoboken.
Go, and ask for Kevin. They won’t disappoint.

I have recently discovered this little place. One of my friends moved just down the street and it is her «neighborhood» bar.
Upon entering, there might be a slight musty smell, but don’t worry, after a couple of drinks that smell will completely disappear! The drinks are decent, and priced in the same range with those in the area. If you are with a few pretty girls, they might be a little cheaper than average! :P
The bathrooms are pretty clean, and have two stalls (thank you). There are two sets of dart boards that provide lots of entertainment and friend making opportunities. One is in the main bar area and the other is located in a back bar room. They even have a jukebox!
The steps leading in and out of this place are a little funky, so be careful! My first time here I went outside to look for my friend who had had a few too many and was drunk dialing a boy toy. I was looking for her and not at the steps and fell and broke my shoe and twisted my ankle! Not cool! Watch your step!

This bar is a nice friendly place to relax and drink. I read a review here that said «off the beaten path,» but thats exactly the point. If you’re ever tired of the Washington Street shuffle this is a great change of pace.

LEPRECON 2012
We had a house party! (no violations.) We drank (inside our house!) and we PEED! (in a bathroom). AKA we didn’t break the rules.
So we left around 5 to hit up a bar, after several rounds of pong, corn hole, flip cup and who knows what else. I chose to drink vodka and SF monster, since I’m off carbohydrates until Ultra. Welp, I was thoroughly IN THE BAG by the time we left. So we somehow ended up in line here… and paid $ 20 each to enter. St Pat’s in the HOB sucks in that regard… E V E R Y bar charges some silly cover. There were lots of legit Irish guys in here. One tried to buy me a shot of Jameson (no, thanks.) and one tried to understand why I was dressed all crazy (I was a rave guido Leprechaun, duh!).
We had a blast, and I left my green rhinestone Snooki shades behind as payment. (I actually lost them, but I didn’t buy any of my drinks, so we’ll call it even.)

A solid local bar. The fact that it is not on Washington St. is an asset.

A great bar off the beaten path. This palce never gets really crowded and it has darts and a pool table. The bartenders are very nice and generous with the drinks.

Pros:
— Friendly bartenders (with heavy hands)
— Backroom can be reserved for birthdays and such
— Powerful beverages
Cons:
— Off the beaten path
— Cramped and easily filled to capacity
— Difficult to get served at bar when crowded
— Weird old man locals at one end of bar
Verdict:
I don’t know too much about the Hoboken bar scene, but this bar seems to be an okay spot. The bartenders were super friendly and very generous with their mixed drinks (we took advantage of a $ 30 AYCD deal). If anything, it’s a good place for groups.

Great place… good crowd and good service. This place is fantastic, everyone there is just looking to have a good time and chill. The bartenders will also buy you back… one will buy back w/​whatever you are drinking and the other will give you a shot…

Moran’s rules. Kevin is the best bartender in Hoboken. Go there and you wont be sorry. Just watch out for Tom the Lawyer.
