2 Popular Bars In Jersey City Say They'll Close

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Two popular bars in Jersey City announced on Thursday evening that they will close this year.

Fox and Crow, a popular bar/restaurant in the Heights section of Jersey City, announced Thursday night that has closed. The bar had gone on a "winter break" last month.

“The last 12 years have been a wonderful, wild ride!” They wrote in a message on Thursday, thanking the customers and musicians who’ve played there.

Fox and Crow is located at 594 Palisades Ave.

Meanwhile, within an hour, Barcade on Newark Avenue also said it will close, but not until June 15.

They opened in Jersey City 14 years ago, they said.

The chain of arcade bars, which also serve food, has been expanding to other locations.

"It is with great sadness that we announce that our time in Jersey City is coming to an end," they said. "After an amazing 14-year run, our lease is ending and the last day of service will be June 15th. We hope to return to JC one day in a new location but in the meantime, we are opening very soon just a short train ride away on Cortlandt Street in lower Manhattan this spring and we hope you will visit us there – or at any of our other bars.

"There are still four months of good times to be had, epic kegs to tap, and plenty of Rush songs to play, so stop in and see us before the final last call!"
