1 Republik

Can’t wait until this place gets a lawsuit for the discrimination. I’ve spoken to a couple people and they’ve been kicked out for no reason because someone in the staff doesn’t like them or because of your race. Then when you ask why you’re getting kicked out they want to make up shit. After reading previous reviews and comments it a fact this place makes up random shit. My friend got kicked out for no reason other than being black and was standing in a corner with his friend having a beer. The minute his friend went to the bar to grab a beer they kicked him out because he was supposedly touching girls. I can’t wait until you guys come across the wrong person and make false accusations like that. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. This place makes me sick to my stomach.

Went to this restaurant a while back and ordered their steak sandwich, it was absolutely delicious. The grilled skirt steak was left whole and it was flavorful with the bread and fresh mozzarella cheese. However, today I came back for there amazing steak sandwich but I was throughly disappointed. The steak was chopped and was mixed with peppers and onions. It tasted like a cheap Philly cheesesteak. I unfortunately paid $ 15 for a cheap tasting Philly cheese steak sandwich. I would rather eat at the McDonald’s across the street than eat here ever again.

So, I didn’t know to get in to this sport bar to watch a game I have to wear a suit .
I’ll guess I will watch my games now on at other place .
The bouncer didn’t let me in cuz I was wearing a ripped jean….

Neat bar, drinks are average (it’s a bar) and service was alright. I got there around 8pm — so it was still decently early and the windows were opened and airy. Around 11pm the Windows were shut and shades were brought down so it go really dark and «clubby» and the place got super packed. Music mixes were great — I loved that and I was jamming.
The upside is that we ordered fries and those things were amazing.

Food was great. Had teriyaki wings that were really delicious. Many specials! Dine in only. This place is somewhat fancy with great prices.

I love going to 1 Republik during the day for lunch and quick beer. The entire staff is extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend to try their Cobb Salad! Great service guys! Please keep up the great work!

The place is nice. They just could not get any of order right! 6 of us and only 3 orders were correct. The server was good and apologized for the errors. Also took care of the incorrect items w/​o hesitation. It would have been nice if they got right the it first time.

If I could give less than one star I would. I had a horrible time. I tried to be of assistance to the body guards and it backfired. The manager told two body guards to escort me to the back to kick me out. I asked to speak to management and what did the manager say? That I gave them such a problem last time, mind you it was my first night there. (I thought I’ve been there already but it was blackbear which is better) I’m there crying demanding an explanation and nothing! I even asked for their names and they didn’t give me shit. I was trying to get in contact with a friend in which i had their phone and the body guards are telling me «we will tell them» as if they know who the fuck im talking about. Don’t come here if you want horrible service. I’ve never even been kicked out of a bar before, this is what happens when I come to dumbass Hoboken and not Brooklyn. I still can’t believe they took me back to an ally and told me I was the problem making me feel crazy. I wish I was drunk I truly do so they’d have an excuse to treat me this way at least but no, I mean I’m 5 foot, a small little woman cooperating it’s not like I gave them such a problem other than me asking what I did wrong. I had to sneak my way back in to tell my friend I got kicked out (had her phone)
PLEASE DON’T COME HERE!!!
I could truly say fuck this place, don’t even spend your time or money. The DJ sucks (top like 20 songs played alot) the bartenders are obviously on their grind so there’s like a 10 minute wait time to buy a beer. But dont be too mad at them, its a popular bar with high demands. Place is packed not sure why so be ready to get through crowds. Casual place. Nicely designed. Seems like it’d be a cool place for lunch but I’ll never be going back so that will always be a «what if».

I come here often for Sunday funday around the late afternoon and I somehow stroll out shy of 1am every time. The day just gets lost when you’re inside.
The menu is pretty extensive. In terms of food, it’s a notch or two above the average bar. Their truffle Mac and cheese is really rich and really good. I’ve had the strawberry and spinach salad which is a refreshing summer dish. The mozzarella sticks come with a nice pesto sauce on the side. You can’t go wrong with their chicken fingers either. They have a full bar and on Sunday’s their mimosas are $ 2. You can’t beat that.
What I love most is the outdoor seating. Definitely come early if you want a seat outside. The inside is pretty spacious and there are a lot of tables. Sometimes it gets so packed though that you’ll just have to mingle by the bar which I don’t mind at all. The service is pretty good. I’ve never had issues waiting on drinks or food. It’s a diverse crowd and the music selection is top 40 I would say. The inside is always really dark so it gives you an illusion of being in a club. There’s no dance floor but I don’t think that stops anyone from getting their groove on.
Overall, the employees are nice. My favorite bartender Matt is no longer there but all of my favorite bouncers are. It’s a good time and always a good starting or ending point when coming to Hoboken.

Finally tried 1Republik after years of just passing by and so happy I did. It was definitely happening and lit at 8pm. I came with a group of friends. We were able to get a booth. The music was great and they had a lot of tvs playing the games. We were here for dinner and drinks. The table ordered a classic mojito, a guava mojito and a mango punch. The only thing worth ordering again was the mango punch. The mojitos on the other hand were lacking everything. So after we immediately ordered beers. You can not go wrong with beers. A Hoegarden and a Stella did the trick. As for the food, it was great. We ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with fries, shrimp with pesto penne and chicken piccata with penne. It was surprisingly delicious. The pasta was flavorful. The pasta was cooked nicely and the chicken was tender. The wrap was delish. The buffalo sauce add a nice kick to the wrap. The staff was super friendly and prompt with the service. Do not know why I took so long to check 1Republik. I am definitely returning.

Good party at daytime. Happy hour. Fast and professional service. Outside seating area.
Good nighttime party. Recommend

As a novice to Hoboken, I would say that this is a good meeting spot before wandering to other more eclectic venues. If you need to please a group of mixed tastes people this is a good middle ground. Their bar food is good (I had the garlic parm wings) and the atmosphere is par for the course for a sports bar. I like the way that the bar is the center and is a horsehoe shape which is good for socializing and mingling without being isolated to a booth. Service was great, my glass was never empty and the bartenders would constantly ask if I needed anything.
This place is centrally located and it looked like people walking in would bump into people they already know.

Service was ok (server was sweet, bartenders and manager was rude) food was nothing special, besides the fried pickles which were yummy, drinks were bad. wouldn’t come back.

The bouncers are rude and told me I couldn’t get in because I had a rip in my jeans. The times I have actually been inside it was overly loud and the bartenders were inattentive. This place is lame.

One of my all time favorite bars! I have to say that every time I came here I was never disappointed by any dish. From the delicious buffalo wings to the best mac & cheese ever! You will not be let down with anything you order. There’s always good music playing unless you’re watching superball then they only play music on the commercial breaks. The bar is pretty big and there’s Tvs all over. I love this place And I won’t ever stop coming here!

Great place for football Sundays! It was very crowded but the service was great for a huge group of us! (14)
Very good buffalo chicken dip and enjoyed some mozzarella sticks!

It’s too dark.
The tables are sticky.
Head Management (CASEY) is DISGUSTING! Very rude.
And they are in serious need of a new playlist.
Candles need to be VISIBLE! Instead of inside a book to be knocked over.
«DRESS CODE» ok I get it, NO CARGO PANTS But people are walking around in flip flops for god sakes.
And the 1! Star is for some of the food on the menu

I like this bar! There were booths along the wall so we sat down and got some food before we started our bar crawl. The quesadilla’s were great and the sangria was amazing. The pitcher was a bit small/​filled to the brim with ice so we couldn’t even get three glasses out of it for each person at our table.
The food was typical, but filling and not super greasy. I like that we were able to sit a bit away from the dancing and bar, but it was still incredibly loud to chit chat. I felt like I was screaming across the table and my ears were ringing after just a half hour of being in there.

Went for a couple of drinks and ended Up staying for a few hours. Appys were delish especially the buffalo calamari. Atmosphere great, bartenders knew their stuff and the whole experience was very nice. Will come back for brunch.

Have never been treated so poorly in a bar in my life. We ordered our drinks after my boyfriend had gotten off his shift at a local bar and wanted to unwind. TEN MINUTES after the drink was ordered (with no warning of last call) the place turned into a nightmare.
If I had known our drink would have to be chugged (which is extremely irresponsible on the bars liability) we would have just gone home.
The MOST trashy bartenders who turned the lights on and said «get the fuck out» also heard the bouncer saying to «shut your piehole» to a patron. As a bartender I am appalled at this. We had ordered drinks a minute before lights up and the bartenders trash talked us right in front of us that they were tired and want to «get the fuck out». Absolutely not worth the disrespect.

Two stars for the Sunday I went here w my bf zero stars for today’s experience! Oh my goodness gracious, my friend and I went in for mimosa brunch everyone goes here for their 2 $ mimosas. Not only was our waitress violently hungover from last night, she provided us w no attention whatsoever. Checked on us twice! Once to take our order, once to give us the check. What the hell is that. The brunch is great the drinks are even better but if the service isn’t good then people stop going. Unfortunately I can’t say I’ll be back here for a while. Oh and on the way out the hostess told us to have a great night; it was 1230pm. Maybe everyone there is drunk and I missed the memo

Came on Sunday after huge snow storm. Marina was our bartender. She promptly came over and greeted us even though the bar was PACKED. She checked up on is every 10 mins or so to get us more drinks and make sure we were okay. She was so attentive, it really make the experience enjoyable. Not to mention she was BEAUTIFUL! Will def come back

I have been coming here for years everything is usually great, food is good.
Went there on Sunday 01÷17÷16 after a friends bridal party.
We are wrapping up check is paid, Its snowing everyone is outside and I (the DD) recommend everyone go back inside as its snowing and Ill go get the car. Not like its last call or anything it was about 10:30pm.
I come back and this new bouncer JESSE has spotted the bride who is not exactly walking in a straight line but is harmless. He approaches the groom and says she has to go. We explain we are leaving anyway well be right out. Groom goes to zip up his mothers jacket and the bouncer says NOW and groom says RELAX next thing you know he’s up against the wall gets dragged out. Everyone was shocked, the bride and the mother are in tears. I don’t understand what was going through this guys head but he’s a couple brain cells short or something.
This not typical of my experience at 1 Republik but they should really screen who they hire cause he is crazy. While this guy is working here I won’t be coming back and will tell everyone I know to steer clear.

Sunday Football review…
Had a pretty solid time at 1 Republik while watching the Jets absolutely **** the bed on Sunday. Though they typically don’t take reservations, day of we were able to confirm day of that we were coming in with a group of 10 and they saved a table for us. Kudos for that. The 10 of us standing would’ve been awful.
Our table rocked various apps without standouts or complaints and I had my way with several varieties of wings (there are a dozen varieties of sauce to choose from). Love that the ‘outrageous’ flavor actually had some heat to it. BBQ mustard was also good. Take a look at the drink specials menu and plan accordingly… $ 2 mimosas until 1pm or 6pm on non-​football Sundays. Could make for a nice rowdy brunch. The food menu is also fairly extensive, especially for the burger fan in you (better than being a Jets fan). Overall, we had a successful Sunday outing and I would def come back next season for some wings and a whole lot of shame (from the Jets).
Bonus: Service was good and the bathroom clean for a crowded football Sunday. Well done!

Stopped in for a late lunch, and found a pleasant surprise! Service was prompt and friendly, and their signature burger was tremendous! Not the biggest fan of shoestring fries in general, but still a nice compliment. The sizable beer selection is nice, too!

This is probably my favorite sports bar in Hoboken, next to the Black Bear. The food’s not bad, there are plenty of draft options, the service is usually pretty good, the bathrooms are clean and the place gets bumpin’, both in terms of the music and the crowd.
The only part that sucks, as with all businesses on Washington, is the parking. Unless you can get something on one of the side or back streets, be prepared to feed the meter or pay for the garage.

1 Republik is one of my favorite Hoboken bars. It is huge and has plenty of seating at any time. There are many TV screens when you’re there to watch a game and they have a great selection of both beers on tap and bottled beers. The music is also great. Whether you’re coming on a weekday for a chill drink or looking to go wild on the weekend, 1 Republik is the perfect spot.

Fun place to go with a group. The crowd is great and the music was perfect. Can’t wait to go again.

I had out of town guests and, after a day of sightseeing, took them to Hoboken, my old stomping grounds, for an early dinner. I was famished and craving a burger and 1 Republik did not disappoint. They have a huge selection of burgers and everyone enjoyed their burger… they were awesome! The nachos were very good too.
There were several bowl games on and it’s a great place to watch a game.
I’d give it 5 but went with 4because some in my party commented that their draft beers were on the warm side and the music was a tad loud (though maybe I’m just old). But, all in all, a very good casual restaurant and we will be back.

Was afraid to come here during the weekend rush because of the visible crowds. Opted for an early weeknight dinner and was impressed! Could use more lighting but overall great food and drinks.
Will update my review as I frequent this place and try more of the menu.

Came here this past Saturday night for Halloween and had such a blast! It was a plus that I knew a lot of people there, but drinks weren’t expensive at all. Approximately $ 7 for a drink or shot, and compared to a lot of other places I’ve been, that wasn’t bad at all. The bartenders were extremely attentive, and the maximum time I waited to get their attention was maybe a few minutes.
We started off at 1 Republik and ended up staying there the whole night. The line was SO long but thanks to a few friends, I didn’t have to wait in line. Never disappoints me!

Spacious comfortable place. Came here on a Saturday for brunch. $ 2 mimosas. Food is absolutely delicious. Good value. Service is great. Would recommend the huevos rancheros for brunch and Chipotle pasta with chicken.

This place is awful, day or night. Food is garbage. Ridiculously loud (I guess if you are single and can’t talk to someone, then that’s a good thing). Long lines on Friday/​Saturday night, tons of cigarette smoking right outside that comes right back in. Horrible clientele inside. And overcrowded always, making people pissed off, aggressive as all hell, and even more uncomfortable. Bouncers love to push people around inside, I call them Hall Monitors as they literally keep telling you «this is a walkway, keep it moving» like there is actually a place to move when they let in about 50 people too many. I have seen fights, girls getting punched for no reason, and tons of ghetto hoodrats that think they own the place and treat you like crap. Bathrooms are atrocious. And the music is awful. So many better places in Hoboken compared to this place.

I’ve eaten here many a times, and I will still praise 1 Republik for being on the above-​average end of bar food in Hoboken.
Yes, it’s dark as hell in here so if you can sit closer to a window, please do. It can get a little loud during the weekend or during a sporting event but thats just part of the scene. Honestly, there’s nothing bad I have to say about this place. I’ve had a number of the appetizers including wings, nachos and crab cakes. The salads are decent, the burgers are juicy and pretty darn yummy, and last but certainly not least, the skirt steak and risotto is surprisingly kind of amazing. I can’t really say much else other than go and try it yourself. They have a really good beer selection and ok drinks. The $ 2 drinks for brunch on Sundays is nothing short of brilliant.
As far as the bar scene, it gets pretty crowded in here but the dance floor in the back is always a good time. This area is rarely jam packed like the rest of the place so you have some room to whip your hair back and forth. if that’s your kind of thing.

So upsetting. I went there today for lunch. I was in a rush because I had to get back to work, but the bar was nearly empty so I went in, sat at the bar, and had an appetizer. Because the bar was so empty I was expecting to be in and out, but the bartender was so busy talking to her friend down the bar she didn’t even pay attention to me.
When I finally got my food I had forgotten how angry I was, because I know how good the food is here. WRONG… I ordered the chicken quesadilla with red peppers. How were the red peppers you ask? I’d love to know myself since there were none. I was lucky I even got the chicken. I always rave to all my friends just how amazing the food from 1Republik is but today I was absolutely disappointed. The quesadilla’s were mostly cheese, and greasy.
By the end of the meal, which I barely touched, I was so over it I just wanted to go. But no such luck because my bartender was once again off to just talking to her friend. Safe to say I won’t be having lunch at 1Republik again.

If you plan on coming here for a night out with friends during the weekend, be prepared. By prepared I mean the possibility that you won’t make it out alive. What was supposed to be a celebratory night out for my fiancés birthday, ended with me almost fighting two guys. I can’t even comment on the food/​drinks/​service (although our waitress Stephanie was great under the circumstances) because none of it matters since this place is a DEATH TRAP!
We arrived at 10pm and were seated at a booth for 6. The bar was crowded at this point but nothing beyond what you would expect for a Saturday night. About an hour later, the bar began to get extremely crowded to the point where staff were removing tables/​chairs (which they almost knocked out at least 3 – 4 people based on the crowd and how they were handling them) to fit more people. By 12am the bar was so crowded you couldn’t even move through out the bar and were literally on top of one another (imagine floor seats at a metal concert).
We decided to move to the «dance floor» and by that I mean the elevated area near the bathrooms that was even more congested then the bar area. On this floor you encountered everything from trashed college kids to creepy men who looked like their lone reason for being there was to grope or rob people. All of which was totally possible seeing as there was ZERO security in this area. Which brings me to my fight.
Two EXTREMELY intoxicated guys began throwing elbows and bumping people as they «danced». Usually I could care less about drunk people at a bar, but seeing the situation we were in, I knew these guys would eventually hurt someone. As they shoved my fiancé out of the way I got into it with them. At this point I expected a bouncer to do A) Remove the obviously intoxicated individuals which were still being served drinks. Or B) Remove both of us for fighting. Either way I was expecting some sort of impression of control. 5 – 10 minutes of arguing and the two men walked away. Only to get more drinks and return 5 minutes later!
At this point I realized it was time to go. Ironically while trying to leave the bar 2 bouncers appeared out of no where and yelled at my group to «Clear the hallway!!!» Which was the area of the bathroom. I said «Can we exit back here where the exit signs are instead of going back through the death trap?» He laughed shook his head and said «No good luck.» Save your hard earned money and go somewhere you can drink/​eat/​dance and not have to worry about a greedy business treating customers like caged chickens.

Came here on Saturday during the day as a part of a bar crawl.
$ 2 mimosas, sign me up! $ 5 margs and some other specials. I liked how easy it was to find the specials and that they had plenty for each day of the week.
It was my friend’s 21^st birthday and they were really nice and let her pop a random bottle of champagne! There were tons of people working, so getting drinks and stuff was easy pz. They were really nice about getting some of us change to pay the bill which sometimes can be annoying to servers.
Didn’t eat anything but everyones food smelled good!

This is one of those love-​it or hate-​it type of places and I for one love it so far. There are times when I feel like i need to be in a crowded, noisy, busy place where I dont even want to hear myself think and this spot is just perfect for that. I do agree that the lighting could be a little less dim and the atmosphere a little less college frat party but hey, if it works for them, why change it right? Of course, that being said, this is certainly no place to come if you are out on a date where you actually want to hear the other person talk.
The drinks are usually good though a tad small for the price. The food is infinitely better than regular bar food and is one of the main reasons I frequent the place. After having tried most everything on the menu, I am yet to taste something that I dont like. I especially love the chipotle pasta and the hummus here. Even the desserts are pretty great, especially the apple pie (The portion size is huge, so share!).
This also seems to be a great spot for brunch with $ 2 mimosas and bellinis on offer but I will update the review after trying it. The atmosphere is fun with good music (mostly) and the servers too are usually really nice.
P. S.They have deals for every day of the week but the half priced menu on sunday nights after 10 is the best (and its not crazy crowded as usual).
