Farside Tavern - Hoboken

The best ribeye steak sandwich in town! They also offer darts, excellent service from the staff and bartenders. A classic Hoboken bar with delicious pub food that is better than most.

Amazing Saturday night jam from 4 to 8 PM. Great atmosphere, people and drinks. You can even sign up to play with the band!

This is going to be a long post. I faced the worst dining experience at Farside Tavern. I went in on 10/14/2021 to grab some drinks and food with a friend. We were greeted by Joe (who was really good) and served us our beer and nachos promptly. We decided to order a portion of pretzel bits that were served to us by Joe as well.My friend and I had a bite of the pretzel each and we realized that they were baked a bit extra and we could literally taste the burnt bread flavor. We tried getting hold of Joe but giving how busy the place was, we were unable to get his attention. Here's where the experience started to spiral down.Since we were unable to get hold of Joe (our original server), we found another server (a short guy with pony tail hair and tattoos) and informed that we were unhappy with how the pretzel tasted and we would like it to be replaced. Unlike any other server who would simply get a new plate, this guy seemed ready to fight! He started arguing saying this is how they served it and that they should not taste burnt, all without tasting it. He even seemed to imply that we have issues with our taste buds! I nicely, yet sternly told him that I didn't care for a new plate and that I didn't even care if he charged us for the extremely well done pretzel, we just didn't like it. Yet he would continue to argue. When he ran out of ways to try and insult us, he took the pretzels and half eaten plate of nachos and went off. He came back with the check (he charged us only for the drinks) and asked us to leave (which we would have either way).I managed to get hold of Joe, told him the entire scenario and he apologized. However, the other guy, he definitely does not belong in the Hospitality industry.If you want sub-par food, horrible server experience and cheap booze this is the place to go. There are much better bars and taverns in the vicinity that deserve your business.

If you enjoy good music and a cozy atmosphere, this place is where you want to be on a Saturday afternoon.

You have to come here on a Saturday at 4pm to see their blues jam. Great musicians, always. I see them play in Hoboken for the last 10 years. They used to base at Scotland Yard before, then they moved here. If you play blues, just come and sign your name on the board, you will be called. But you have to be good these guys are not high school kids, they do know what they are doing. The bar staff is very friendly, the drinks are cheap (for Hoboken).
