4 Brothers With A Dream Open New Sports Bar & Restaurant In Union County

LINDEN, NJ — Four brothers have achieved the American Dream by opening a new Sports Bar & Restaurant in Linden.

This family-owned business managed by Luis Jerez, Enrique Jerez, Pedro Jerez, and Jorge Jerez held a ribbon cutting on Sept. 5 for Linden Sports Bar and Restaurant at 700 E. Elizabeth Avenue in Linden. This was the previous location of the former Tapas Bar & Grill.

The brothers came to the U.S. in 1992 with the hopes of living the American Dream.

Their journey to achieving this dream began with the siblings working at a pizzeria restaurant in New York City. They then ventured to East Brunswick in 1998 where they worked at a fine Italian restaurant.

After two years, the family decided to start a business in Linden.

"With an exciting menu, the recently renovated establishment has large sports bar screens located throughout the restaurant to ensure customers are engaged in the events as a shared experience. The restaurant’s atmosphere, décor, and lighting create an inviting and memorable experience," said Linden Mayor Derek Armstead.

The Jerez family also owns ParkView Tavern & Restaurant at 2048 E. Saint Georges Avenue in Linden.

"We are so happy serving the community and building memories together," said Jorge Jerez.
