Say hello to what might be Jersey City’s oldest bar. Originally known as The Grapevine Cafe, Grape Vine Tavern has been open at 657 Newark Ave since the late 19th Century.

An even greater historical nugget dates back to June of 1934- the Newark Ave saloon was the first tavern to apply for and receive a liquor license post-prohibition! Liquor license No. 1. dated June 28, 1934, carries the signatures of then-owner Fred "Pop" Werner and city clerk Michael J. Gill.

In 2018, third owner Tom Mullaghy, 87, celebrated his 50th year owning the Grape Vine. Today, the 1934 license proudly hangs on the tavern wall. The first license of the 593 issued in 1934 is worth around $350,000, but Mullaghy ain’t selling...

Swing by Grapevine and give a toast to history! You don’t have to tell ‘em we sent ya. Just say, you heard it through the grapevine. (They’ll know what it means.) 😉



PS - Drink local but also responsibly 🙏
