The steak sandwich on the lunch menu was delicious but the whole meal felt a little dirty. Â Our forks were dirty, there was glitter and no ice in my iced coffee, there was empty sugar packets and a piece of potato in our sugar basket. My parents were appalled. Â Then to top it off my chicken sandwich experienced "complications". When I asked what that meant, I was told they saw a hair on it when they were bringing it out. Â Scared to see what the kitchen looks like in this place.
Review Source:Ive been here a few times and it is just a typical hoboken bar. Nothing great, but not bad either. I have to agree that the Sangria deal on Sunday is nice.. i love sitting outside and enjoying a nice pitcher of Sangria. I know on tuesdays that have a martini special for $5. last night i had the raspberry martini, and it was pretty good. Ive eaten the salads here, and they are also good. I would definitely check this place out if you come to hoboken often, it just wouldnt be on the top of my list.
Review Source:I absolutely love this place, whether it's Sangria Sunday a random weeknight or ordering food, Mikies has it all. If you stop by on a Sunday check out their $10 pitchers of red, white, or hidden gem of Blue Sangria. They always have $5 strawberry margaritas which are delicious and on Tuesdays they have a wide variety of martinis which are also $5. Annnnd if you just want to order some food I would recommend the filet mignon wrap which is amazing and the artichoke dip-seriously you can't go wrong with any food from this place.
Basically long story short, I love this place.
Not bad. We were seated immediately around 11 am on a Saturday. I did some people watching. They had a breakfast and lunch menu. The food was fresh and brought out quickly. As expected, coffee here was not really the best. By the time we finished eating, there were a lot more people waiting.
3.5 stars - it wasn't amazing but no complaints.
I really do like Mikie squared. The food is good but the crowd there at night/weekends can be really annoying. Â The staff is really kind but when it's that crowded, you don't get the same service you would get on a weekday. Â And I feel like on the weekends, they have extra staff who do not really care about their customers simply due to the crowd of crazy people that come around that time (which I get) I literally got yelled at by a waitress because she was holding a tray of beers. "GET OUT OF MY WAY UNLESS YOU WANT BEERS SPILLED ALL OVER YOU" (Of course, we were only in the way because the host was taking us to her section to eat.) Â She was much nicer then. Â
Why do I give this place four stars?  Because everyone else is really nice!  I really love the Tropical Chicken sandwich and Sangria Sunday is awesome. ($10 for a pitcher) But if you hate the Steven's crowd and all those yuppies coming back from playing Zog sports, then coming here on a weekend is simply not for you.  Or maybe outdoor seating is a good option during the warmer weather. But do try it during the week! It's a great spot  .
Your typical bar in Hoboken, nothing special. I came here for Cinco de Mayo brunch. I had the Eggs Benedict ($11) which was okay. Boyfriend had the Big Belgian Waffle ($10) which came literally drowning in what I felt like was every banana and strawberry that existed in Hoboken. Of course I had to try it and it was delicious! One of the better waffles I've had in a while.
Mimosas ($7) were okay, I prefer the $2 Mimosas at 1 Republik. (TWO DOLLAR MIMOSAS!!) The Bloody Marys were great. I've been on the hunt for a good Bloody Mary in Hoboken and I think this is the best I've had so far. Would come back for Bloodys but food, not so much.
Oh and service was suppppppppperrrrrrrr slow. So slow that we literally had to order our next drinks as our first drinks came because by the time we finished our current drinks, the next one probably still wouldn't have arrived yet.
Love Mikie Squared! I come here often with my boyfriend for lunch/brunch and have been a couple times for trivia night with friends. Great casual atmosphere and lots of TVs if watching sports is your thing.
Mikie Squared has GREAT food. I'm always so surprised how good their food is considering they're a bar. I usually order one of their wraps with sweet potato fries. Recently tired one of their burgers and it was SLAMMIN'.
My favorite drink here is the man-mosa.
Tip: If you come for trivia night, show up early. The space isn't too large and they fill up quickly.
A group of us came here before our dinner reservation the other night. Â It's not the biggest bar, but we were able to snatch up some bar stools. Â The bartender was very attentive while we were here and got us our drinks very quickly. Â I stuck to the beers - I had the Yuengling they had on tap. Â There were 8 beers on tap - not the best selection, but I guess it could be slightly worse. Â
Our group also ordered some sangria - they thought it was very good. Â I am not a fan of sangria so I did not have any but I'll take their word for it. Â We also got an order of the mozzarella sticks and they were very tasty. Â It could have just been that I was pretty hungry but I was impressed. Â I definitely enjoyed my time at this relatively low key bar on Washington Street. Â I also thought the prices were pretty reasonable. Â I would definitely return.
Really good food.
I came here looking for a low key dinner on a Friday night - nothing fancy but somewhere to sit down and relax - This place seemed to follow suite. Â Everyone was friendly inside and although it seems as thought it's main function is as a bar they have adequate tables for dinner as well.
We got the pulled pork sandwich which was absolutely fantastic. Â Way above and beyond what you would expect from a pulled pork sandwich at any bar. Â And we also ordered a Cobb salad which was fresh and presented very well - again, much more than you would expect for a regular bar and grill.
All the staff from the hostesses to the waiters were extremely friendly. Â They also had a pretty vast drink selection and lots of beers on tap. Â I was very surprised and impressed with this place.
Terrible. The way they handled the St. Patrick's situation in Hoboken was just straight up shady. First of all, they were charging a $10 cover at the door, and offered no real specials inside to offset the cost. Even worse, they were only accepting cash...let's just say that on any other slow Saturday they accept cards. Inside was smelly, dark and dirty. I wouldn't come here again.
Review Source:Don't know if I would call this place a hidden gem, but its definitely great. Â Mikie Squared is fast becoming my weekday low key drinking spot for a couple reasons: Â friendly, attentive staff and really really good food. Â So far the best Mac n Cheese I've had in Hoboken and the Filet Mignon tips are amazing. Â Great place to catch a game also, plenty of tv's around to grab your attention.
Review Source:We came to Mikie Squared for NYE and for $85 per person, it was well worth it! We had a buffet which consisted of tomato and mozzarella, pastas, salads, ribs, lemon chicken, and assortment of desserts. Open bar (which worked out great for us as we sat at the bar), and a midnight champaign toast. The bar had a nice crowd but wasn't crowded. The bartenders were extremely friendly and had a good time themselves. Even on such a busy night, the bathrooms were relatively clean. This was the perfect pick for a NYE celebration if you live in the hoboken area and want to avoid the city commute.
Review Source:I really like Mikie Squared. It's one of the more chill places to hang out in Hoboken, but still really fun. The staff is always really friendly and the drink and food prices are pretty cheap.
As for food, I've had the eggs benedict for brunch there - not the best I've had but definitely decent. Their wraps and salads are great - my favorite is the buffalo chicken (wrap and salad are both delish). The "Cindy is always on a diet" salad is also very good. My boyfriend always gets the Maxx burger, which he loves.
If you're looking for a more laid back atmosphere in Hoboken this is definitely the place.
I came to Mikie Squared for the first time last weekend to attend a friend's birthday brunch party. Â The place was packed with lots of football fans watching the big game. Â The service was accommodating to our large group. Â The real stand-out was the red wine sangria--some of the best I've tried anywhere--although the appetizers we shared were good too. Â I would definitely come back.
Review Source:Good food, good prices, good beer. Â I've been watching the hockey finals here and the only complaint I have are the frozen margs. Â Stay away from those, but otherwise there is must to like about this place. Â Great food selection, plenty of TV's without being overwhelming and just all around a great atmosphere. Â Also outdoor seating. Â Can get crowded when a big game is on, but I never felt sufficated there.
Review Source:I feel weird updating places and giving them the same number of stars as my original reviews, but I also feel it's good to see some things never change (and that's a good thing). after all, I fear change.
Mikie's is still one of my favorite places to start up a night out in Hoboken. I love the fact that it's consistently a fun, nonpretentious atmosphere with a little something for everyone. it doesn't strive to be one of the many tropes that some other Hoboken bars fall into.
a few TVs with various sports games, but not too many that it drives you crazy because you can't focus on one. coming here on game days is lots of fun. there is a positive vibe and not just drunk people looking to smash something when their team loses.
a decent beer list (they've got Magic Hat, Blue Point, Woodpecker Cider, and some other good brews in addition to the usual big names) and excellent mixed drinks.
GREAT food. the filet mignon tips with the lime/cilantro sauce and the nachos are my favorite appetizers (the filet mignon is also availabe in sandwich or wrap). for entrees, besides the great variety of wraps and burgers, I highly recommend the "drunken caveman" pork chops made with cranberries and JACK DANIELS SAWWWWCE. if you're looking to eat healthier they have various salads and a fair amount of the menu is grilled. they're also very accommodating to modifying your order.
various specials and events throughout the week. $5 martinis, trivia nights, holiday parties, $2 Yuenglings after 11 on weekends, and of course, Sangria Sundays ($10 pitchers).
the service can be a little lagging time-wise, but it's never terrible. understandable, since it's usually a busy place, at least when I go. the staff are friendly too.
it's not a perfect bar, but it's still very good - and that's really all you need to get things going for a wild night in Ho-ho-hoboken...
Finally! A good burger in Hoboken. I was beginning to think there was some conspiracy to make second-class food in this second-class town (NY). Mikie's burger is freshly made and does not disappear when you cover it with a bun! Also, the fries are great and MIkies seems to be the only place that can deliver them without arriving cold and limp.
BBQ wings were pretty good, too. Overall, very impressed and will definitely try other stuff since it can't be worse than the rest of the lame gastronomes Hoboken has to offer.
One thing, don't go there for trivia night. Takes about an hour per question. totally lame.
While I'm not be a fan of Mikie as a nightlife destination, their food is just that consistently good.
A broad menu of typical bar food complete with daily specials, everything is always executed perfectly. Â Ability to substitute any side of fries for sweet potato fries, salad, or grilled or steamed vegetables is really a nice option. Â Top 3 burger in town, and all the other staples are always spot on.
The setup just doesn't do it for me to chill out for a night (lots of low tables; not ideal for someone who likes to stand and BS with different groups at the bar), they do have solid trivia on Tuesdays and the outdoor seating and big open windows are great when the weather is nice.
My boyfriend planned a surprise get together for my birthday here. Â Walking in on a Saturday night around 10pm, it was shockingly dead for a Hoboken bar. Â The bar area is pretty small. Â We all sat in the back and my group of friends was basically their entire book of business for the night. Â Considering that fact, I was disappointed to later learn that even though we drank, ate and did birthday shots all night there were no buy backs. Â
Aside from that, the bartenders working that night weren't all that friendly. Â Listen, I know drunk people can be annoying and sometimes say stupid things but you're a bartender- it's your job to pretend you're amused and just keep making drinks with a smile. Â
Someone else mentioned the music was too low. Â I'd have to agree with that statement. Â I can't even remember hearing a song play that night. Â
Overall I didn't think this was a horrible bar (then again, I was on a birthday high!), but with all the other choices available in Hoboken, I think they have some work to do on service and music.
I took my Phillygirl best friend here for brunch after a weekend of college-caliber boozing. Holy liver damage.
Stacks was packed, and they don't serve booze anyway. Hello, Mikie Squared.
I ordered the Mikie's omelette, which is veggies and cheese. But with eggwhites. It comes with bacon and potatoes. Y U M.
Best friend is a weirdo and ordered everything ala carte--scrambled eggs, toast and bacon. She was subsequently served her breakfast on three separate plates.
My omelette was good, if a little overcooked. But out waitress was really sweet. I didn't try any breakfast cocktails...since I think at that point I was emitting fumes of vodka and olive juice.
I have heard the nightlife scene is good, TBD this weekend I think.
I went here for the first time yesterday for brunch and it was delicious. First, my friends and I got a $10 pitcher of sangria, which was amazing. For lunch, I ordered the Tropical Chicken Sandwich (but as a wrap) with onion rings... all really good. Altogether, it came to $15 per person, which is awesome for both a meal and drinks.
Our server was really friendly and we were able to eat outside, which was really nice.
I've only had one bad experience here and that was on a Sunday for brunch - the $10 pitcher of sangria that I ordered before sitting down didn't arrive until after the food arrived and the waiter hardly checked on us. Is that enough explanation for you?
This review isn't about the negative experience, but for all of the other good times.
This last visit (tonight) was actually one of the best. We had a nice seat by the window and the server, Juan, was super attentive. I haven't seen the prix fixe before (maybe I wasn't looking for it), but decided to try it, and was extremely satisfied and surprised. I had the prime rib and it comes with two sides plus you get either a salad or soup to start and a glass of wine plus cheesecake or chocolate cake for dessert - for $24. WTF the prime rib costs $22 alone, so you're an idiot to not at least try it :)
By the way, the bartenders are pretty social and people that frequent are pretty friendly so check it out and have a good time.
I end up visiting Mikie Squared a few times a week. They play good music, always have sports on all their TVs, make delicious burgers, and have dynamite sweet potato fries.
This place makes no pretensions. The crowd is relatively young and they're there to spend time together and have a drink. This bar doesn't suddenly become a dance club after 11pm. The bartender is friendly and pours a good pint of Guinness. And Tuesday night trivia has gift cards as prizes, which keeps you coming back. And how can you go wrong with $10 pitchers every Sunday?
Guinness, Sam Adams Seasonal, Yeungling, and Blue Moon and Seasonal always on tap, which is a plus.
Last Thursday there was a party in my mouth.
Well, that was the name of the martini, which was pretty awesome. Â I've been to Mikie's many times and it never disappoints.
I big favorite of mine is Sangria Sundays, where pitchers are $10. Â I'm also a big fan of $2 select domestics at happy hour and $5 martinis.
If you're going to order food (you should) try the buffalo chicken wrap or steak sandwich with cilantro lime sauce.
There's plenty of TVs for sports coverage and the music doesn't suck. Â All in all a great hangout bar!
A. Was illogically easy to find a table (for dinner) at 8pm on a Fri eve
B. Good looking yups abound; approx. ratio was 1.4:1.0 (M:F) at 10pm
C. Waitress was suh-weet, i.e., nice and nice to look at
D. Crab cake sandwich (it is a Friday in Lent, you sinners) was acceptable and fries (dang carbs!) were not overflowing
E. Music was audible and ipod-worthy
F. Smithwicks made me mad numb, which is a +
I will hit it again.
The Husband and I visited Mikie Squared on a Friday night on a whim. We were in town visiting and the strip of Hoboken with restaurants and stores had been recommended by a coworker as a cute area to walk around. We ended up at Mikie Squared due mostly to a close parking spot and our being too lazy to walk very far. We were seated immediately and while the quarters are close, it is not stifling. They seemed to have a drink special for every day of the week and it looked like Ladies Night is every. single. night.
We ordered some beers and nachos. I was pleasantly surprised by the nachos and our waiter was great at refilling our drinks with little to no prompting.
This just seemed like a nice little neighborhood bar. I will say that if there is a Yankees game on and the guy who was sitting at the bar is there, you may want to leave. He is obnoxious. Especially if you tell him the Yankees are no good.
I would classify Mike Square as a fairly decent sports bar with better than average food.  I've had the buffalo chicken wrap and their cajun shrimp appetizer.  Again, the food was OK but this is more of a place to get your drink on during a Yanks or Giants game, because they've got plenty of flat screens all  over the bar.  I've also tried their sangria which is nice to have while sitting outside on a nice day. Â
There are so many sports bars in Hoboken, so I wouldn't put Mikes Square on top of your list, but it's worth stopping by for a few beers.
AHhhh. Martini Mania Night. $5 Martinis all night. Â It's a beautiful thing.
Pleasantly surprised to find that it's not just good drinks. Â I do mean good. If you're looking for a real martini, look no further. Â The food here is solid and well prepared. Â No waitstaff attitude and the menus are interesting, not just your typical bar fare.
The burgers and the crab cakes are worth the trip as is the beer selection. Go for the 8:30pm Tuesday Trivia Night drink specials:
1/2 price Well Drinks ALL night.
$1 off all Domestic and Imported Draft beer
$5 glasses of House Wine
I hear Brunch is worth a trip over. Happy Hour is one thing. I'm not too sure that a morning meal could get me out of NYC to NJ. If it ever does, I'll have to up this review to a full 5 stars. We'll see.
