Nestled in the Paulus Hook neighborhood on a cozy corner for over a decade – close enough to the JC business district for a quick walk but far enough from the hustle and bustle for a charming dining experience – Amelia’s is a must-visit. It boasts a large menu with something for everyone and a generous drink list – including sangria.

Despite the beamed ceilings and large projector TVs, the vibe in Hudson Hall is low-key and intimate. The added exposed brick and vintage signage make it great for a date night, while the picnic table seating in the main room accommodates a variety of sized groups. The drink menu features everything from strawberry frosé with fresh lemon and honey to a comprehensive list of scotch, bourbon, and sangria.

Light Rail Café | 237 Randolph Avenue

This spot located in the Bergen-Lafayette part of JC serves some amazing sangria that packs a punch! We had the red (the white looked amazing too), and it came in a huge glass that was well worth the $8. Sangria pitcher specials are available every day and cost $8. Note: this spot is cash only.

Sip on some sangria at the next date night!

Since it opened in 2005, the restaurant has long become a fixture of Jersey City’s booming restaurant scene, having grown into a “Taqueria Downtown family” of four locations, each with a different vibe and style. Be sure to order sangria next time you visit.

The Kitchen Step | 500 Jersey Avenue

The aesthetic here along with the name Kitchen Step itself celebrates Jersey City’s rich history. It is a nod to Cornelius Van Vorst — “courtly Cornelius” — whose marble kitchen step originated from a statue of King Edward III. Known for epic cocktails, this spot should be on your radar when you’re craving a cold glass of sangria.
