Wicked Wolf Tavern

THIS PLACE IS VERY LOUD! It’s a good place to grab drinks and watch a sweet game or match on their many TVs. Not really my scene, but we watched an awesome UFC female fight! Crazy stuff.

Sports bar, rough crowd. Wanted to get some food and watch the NBA playoffs. managed to get in before 11 and they let us order food quick. I got the Frickles (fried pickles) Loved them and the Russian sandwich and sweet potato fries. which were was surprisingly really really good. I did not like the crowd, it was a bit rough and tumble on a thirsty thursday night, the bathroom was kinda gross because of the volume. Also, the doorman tried to card me when I walked in… well, I know my companions were in their late 20’s so I get that, but not me, I just had to tell the guy ‚‘are you f’ing serious yo’ and he said ‘man just go ahead’ I’ve got a half grey hair goatee get outta here with that show me your ID nonsense

This place isn’t a real bar. It’s a college drink up with watered down vodka. Bartender was an airhead, service a joke, management doesn’t care, club soda flat, no ingredients available to even make a decent concoction, $ 9 for the worst drink I ever raised to my lips. Avoid at all costs.

Don’t get the wild berry sangria, it’s watered down and not good also. Also my girlfriend had the harvest salad and it tasted very grainy and the peaches don’t taste fresh. They also barely give any chicken with it. I had the fish tacos which were mediocre at best. Find a better spot

$ 5 appetizers during happy hour is great, but the service here is so terrible that I’d rather go to a different place all together.

What a experience I had in wicked wolf last week! The bartender Celeste was extremely tentative poured a captivating Moscow mule made sure I left boozed but she also made sure I had ride. Had to tell her know it was my 1^st Rodeo and they had bitters!

If you’re looking for frat boys, co-​eds, and mozzy sticks, this is the place to be.

Way too packed
Horrible bands
Way loud
Just awful
The crowds are your typical young and extremely dumb twenty somethings getting drunk on macro 3%watered down slop.
Avoid at all costs

It’s been a few weeks since all of us were at Wicked Wolf… We went a few Sunday’s ago for the Giants vs Jets game.
The place was filled with energy and awesome sports fans. We had amazing service and a delicious lunch. The vibe of the game was like being at the Stadium and the DJ, would play incredible music on the commercial breaks. I want to thank Joe and Will for treating our group so well !
Was there today for the Leprechaun celebration. Great time, great party. Awesome music and vibe. Joe the GM TOOK great care if my friends and I. We waited in line only for a few minutes !
We will be back ASAP. To try BRUNCH !!

A Hoboken tradition! I have been to the wolf for all sorts of occasions. Alumni events, work post turkey bowl fun, and just plain football Sunday’s. They staff always does a great job of handling the crowd and their wings are just delicious! The line can get long on Sunday’s, but it always seems to go quick. Definitely a place to stop if your in town!

Wednesday 9pm trivia nights here, with amazing prizes, are best with a few beer towers (around $ 16 each). Lots of seating but floors and tables can get a bit sticky later on, especially on Friday/​Saturday nights when the whole place opens up with dancing and great music. By the waterfront!!!

Great lunch spot!
We came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and it was totally dead– which was very nice :) I have heard this place can get a little crazy, as any sports bar/​tavern can, and I appreciated the more laid-​back, quiet atmosphere around noon on a weekend.
The food was great– I sampled the wings and the steak sandwich, and had a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette, all of which I really enjoyed. I would definitely come back for more!

As a non-​Hoboken resident, I can understand the temptation to stick to Washington St. with respect to bars since there are many more options there than on Sinatra Drive. As for sports bars, I usually find myself at Black Bear or 1 Republik, but the view at Wicked Wolf is worth a visit, especially if you’re already down by the waterfront. I can’t speak for the food, but I’ve always gotten decent service here and there are plenty of TVs to watch sports. If you’re going for the night life, the music is usually pretty good and the place packs up.

Over the years I have heard quite a few good things about this place and it was a pleasure to finally have a chance to stop in with a friend and a few other Unilocalers after an event!
Overall, a pretty solid place.
They are located right near the water and outside the establishment, is a pretty kick a** view of NYC. Absolutely stunning.
Since it was a Monday night, the place did not have too many people inside, however, being the «old lady» I am, I really didn’t mind that at all.
The inside is pretty big. It had quite a few large flat screen TVs throughout the entire place. Pretty convenient, especially when watching a football game.
Has quite a few seats at the bar, tables and even booths.
I thought the five booths along the right hand side of the bar were pretty darn cool because each booth has its own personal mini TV.
Bathrooms were nice and clean. In the bathroom they had a few posters on the wall with detailed descriptions on their happy hour and bar specials they have going on all week. Always good information to know!
They even have a place in the back where a few people can charge their phones.
The bartender serving us was very sweet and attentive (wish I got her name).
The bar itself has a decent craft beer selection. Beer on tap was nice and cold and they also had a menu for food.
My friend and I decided to split the turkey avocado wrap. Overall, it was pretty fresh (especially the avocado) and satisfying. The portion was pretty big, I was pretty full just from eating half of it. It also came with a bunch of crunchy skinny fries as well.
I would definitely be happy go back again in the future!
OH! And don’t forget to «check in» when you get there! When you do, you are able to get 15% off for your food bill!

$ 900 dollar bar tap for 5 people … Check.
Terrible service … Check.
Server charged green tea shots as full Jameson shots… check.
Skip this place.

Let me preface the meh review but stating that I love me some sports bars and dive bars.
Wicked Wolf is really large. Great place to bring a huge group of people without feeling like you’ve taken over the entire place. Awful place to have a conversation. The ambiance is plan old sports-​bar. Tons of 20-​something year old guys in backwards hats chugging beers and scanning the room. The servers were all girls in tank tops. Im sure this place will get extremely busy during peak times — if you love that kind of show, this may be your place.
Between the noise of frat-​boys (or still-​stuck-​in-​frat-​boy-​land, rather) and the roar of the games all over the tv screens (it was Sat — college football) — I couldnt hear my friend shouting from directly across our table. We got one of those large beer things and I got wine. My wine was fine but the guys said the Coors Light dispenser tasted weird. Either watered down or plasticy… Normally these guys dont complain much, so I’m sure something wasnt right there.
We ordered some food — our waitress was kind enough to keep our tab separate (we went to someone’s birthday and it was like. 20 people). We got a few kinds of sandwiches, fried pickles, and chicken tenders. The fried pickles were… mediocre? The dipping sauce seemed thin and from a bottle, and the coating didnt really hold tight to the pickle. the guys didnt say anything about their sandwiches or offer a bite… when i asked how it was, I got a shrug and «well, I was hungry.» I did steal a few fries and they were bland, cold, and just all around unimpressive. my girl friend and I split the chicken fingers after thinking of each getting our own order. Im glad we split — those things were rubbery inside and rock hard outside. The batter for the chicken was so crunchy (not in a good way) that if you have a loose tooth, you’d have a gone-​tooth after eating those things. The oil it was fried in tasted… old. a bit of a plastic taste maybe? Again — we were all starving so we ate, but I was seriously disappointed that this was the place the birthday person selected.
Probably a fine place for people who are hard of hearing and need loud volume on their game that just want to catch a game and have a pint, but I definitely wouldnt put this on my short list of go-​to places.

Wicked Wolf Tavern is a neighborhood sports bar in Hoboken right along the river. It’s a really great location for people to hang out for beer/​apps/​food after a day in the park. I came here as a group of 8, and the hostess was quick to set up a table for us next to the window.
We ordered two rounds of beer tower, some apps to share, and entrée. They have a pretty good selection of beer on tap. We got the Brooklyn Summer Ale and Summer Shandy, both of which were appropriately refreshing for hot summer days.
For appetizers, we had the Spinach and Artichoke Dip ($ 11), Buffalo Bites ($ 9), Fried Pickled ($ 7), and Hot Pretzel Sticks ($ 7).
The Spinach and Artichoke Dip included warm, creamy mix of spinach and artichoke hearts baked with cheddar jack and parmesan cheese, and accompanied by fresh veggie sticks (celery and carrots), warm tortilla chips, pita bread, and garlic bread. I liked the variety of dipping accouterments that the app had, because most places usually just give you chips or pita bread. The dip was pretty savory and rich.
The Buffalo Bites had tender bites of boneless chicken tossed in a choice of buffalo, BBQ, or teriyaki sauce, and also served with celery and carrot sticks with bleu cheese dressing. Nothing too exciting about this app.
The beer-​battered dill pickle chips were crispy, and the ranch dipping sauce was a nice addition to the dish. Finally, we got 3 long pieces of pretzel sticks, which were a bit hard to share. The pretzel was slightly on the dry side so the sides of honey mustard and cheese dipping sauces were cruicial in providing some moisture.
I got the burger for my main. All burgers are make-​your-​own. You first choose the protein (beef, turkey, veggie, or portobello mushroom), cheese (+1 extra, and a choice of American, Mozzarella, Swiss, Monetary Jack, Cheddar, or Crumbled Bleu Cheese), and toppings ($ 1 each, Sautéed Onions, Mushrooms, Avocado, Bacon, Jalapenos, Chili, Guacamole, Roasted Red Peppers, or a Fried Egg). All burgers are served on a toasted brioche roll with a side of French fries. Be careful because the base price of the burger ($ 9) seems cheap, but once you start adding all the toppings, the price can easily be ~$ 15.
Two quick tips:
1. Check-​in for 15% off your food bill
2. Bring a sweater (yes, even in the summer) because the place is air conditioned to the MAX.

Pretty good bar food, cheap beer, decent service and lots of TV’s. Not fine dining by any means, but a great spot to hang out with a few friends and then hang out by the hudson river afterwards.
Good luck finding parking around here…

With an amazing location like this on the water and close to the Path, I am surprised they haven’t done more but maybe they can get away with mediocre food and service and still pay that high rent and make money.
Menu is straight up bar food and nothing special. Bland sandwiches, extra greasy appetizers, limited beer on draft, can’t think of anything unique. So many better places in Hoboken and on the waterfront even.
Happy hour spot only IMO, and only if the tables outside are open. Good people watching.
Parking is awful of course but it is Hoboken. The lot on 2^nd and Hudson is your best bet

I’m actually pretty surprised at some of the reviews. Overall, I find the place to be a 3, but it has some 4-​worthy qualities as well. I guess it depends on what you’re looking for in your experience.
What I like most about Wicked Wolf are the following 3 things: location, trivia, and specials. Wicked Wolf has a beautiful sky-​line view, so if the weather is nice you can sit outside or go across the street to take a leisurely walk by the water. They have trivia on Wednesday nights, where you can purchase beer towers and other specials. I’m not sure if this is every week, but this past Sunday they had free Bingo, and who doesn’t love 1. Bingo and 2. Free prizes?
If you’re coming for the food, it’s average. I haven’t been here for a full-​blown meal, but I’ve tried several of their wraps (Blackened chicken this past Sunday), and they’re pretty decent. Nothing out of the ordinary, but yummy. The fries are thin, similar to fast food-​style fries.
Night time at Wicked Wolf is typical for the bar scene in Hoboken. It does get crowded, as most places do in that area. You can win open bar specials for you and your friends for a future night out by filling out a form when you’re there.
