Light Horse Tavern, Jersey City The light horse is one of my favorite pubs in & around the NYC area. In the summer it has a nice open space and in winter a nice homey look. The food is great pub fare with some very nice simple salads, and they have some quite unusual beers (eg Kelpie).

Light Horse Tavern This bar and restaurant combination is simply one of a kind. I really enjoyed my experience here. The drinks and food is one of a kind and the service is amazing. The prices are not high so any one can afford this.

My husband and I live in the neighborhood of the Light Horse Tavern and have been dining and enjoying cocktails theree bar since the begining (we were at the opening night party). I must say I am disappointed to read the negative reviews. I was born and raised in J.C. and remember when Bella's occupied that space. The atmosphere, esthetics, and attention to detail are second to none in the Paulus Hook area. Now for the food. It is consistently good-sometimes great and we like that the menu is seasonal. I must say the burger ... read more

Great Atmosphere, Good Food – I am really surprised to read all of the negative reviews about Light Horse, as I have never had anything less than a pleasant experience when dining here. I have found the waitstaff to be very helpful and friendly (my husband and I are vegan and they are always willing to cater to us), the food excellent (my entire non-vegan family agrees!), and the atmosphere to be warm and inviting. Both times that I have eaten here it has been with a large group at dinner time. Everyone loved their meal, and... read more

TOO BAD! – I used to love the Lighthorse, but I have to agree with the other reviewers that the food has drastically decreased in quality. Concomitant to this problem, the prices remain the same. Thus the overall experience is sour. I went in October of 2008 and was served a steak so coated in thick cheese that the meat was completely lost. Today, I attempted to try the menu again but it took nearly 1:30 for the food to be served. When it arrived, everything was cold (who wants cold egg dishes). There was no explanation othe... read more

High prices, bad food, avoid ... – The good: Excellent bar and bar staff - especially Lou and James - the other various girls, not so much. The drinks are big and well made as long as Lou and James are involved. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. Classic menu items like the Tavern Burger and the fish n chips are tasty and good values. The interior is gorgeous and well thought out - the outside dining is a great option in the spring and fall. The owners Ron and Bill are genuinely interested and involved in the customer... read more
