The Wanderer
53 Baldwin Ave, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“The Wanderer brings a warm Brooklyn aesthetic to Jersey City with genuinely excellent cocktails (their espresso martinis are a must-try) and standout small plates like their French Onion Cheesesteak and inventive cold noodles that punch well above typical coffee shop fare. The team, especially bartender Nelly, creates a genuinely welcoming neighborhood vibe where you'll feel equally comfortable lingering over a specialty drink solo or gathering with friends for a memorable evening. It's the kind of place that feels like a local secret but absolutely deserves to become your regular spot.”

First time visitng the place, and did not disappoint. Very cozy place, perfect for chill and drink. Limited food but they are very good, so is the drinks. Excellent! Nelly our server is very accommodating. Good at entertaining the customers in not a bothersome way. Just making sure everything is good.
Nelly is an amazing bartender who’s cocktails should bring you in ASAP!! So sweet and great customer service. The food is just as amazing! Totally recommend making it your favorite local bar!
A warm Brooklyn vibe in Jersey City with standout dishes and a great neighborhood look and feel. The potato salad and cold noodles impressed, and the French Onion Cheesesteak stole the show. Excellent wine selection, especially the chilled red. Super friendly, attentive staff and management make you feel welcome. Love it here!
My friend and I had a great time at Wanderer Bar while visiting from out of town. Shoutout to Nelly our bartender who really took care of us and made the night memorable. Her espresso martini was honestly one of the best I’ve had. The space has a speakeasy type of vibe with a very unique look that really stands out. Great service all around and a welcoming atmosphere. The pizza was also amazing, freshly made and seriously delicious. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.
The food was truly great, we did a salad and some pizzas. Cocktails were also a hit with us, and a fun beer selection (bottles). Glad we checked it out, will be back. Inside has been spruced up with cushions and pillows, and is a cozier vibe.
