Both bars will feature signature cocktails, local brews, and a curated wine list.Įvents: Open seven days a week, Six26 will be more than just an LGBTQ-friendly bar. Seafood lovers will want to party on the rooftop, where you’ll find a raw bar featuring a variety of oysters and more - a rarity in downtown Jersey City. In terms of decor, expect lots of plants, shady trees, swings arranged around a fire pit, and plenty of local artwork - all overlooking Columbus Drive.įood & Drink: Both the lounge and rooftop will serve light, comfort food with a sophisticated twist. The rooftop - which will open later this spring - is where you’ll find one of downtown’s very few oyster bars. But that’s precisely what’ll set Six26 apart. The Rooftop: Few spots in Jersey City have rooftop access and practically no bar lets guests choose between a rooftop or lower level. “We took the best from Hell’s Kitchen, Brooklyn, and all the places we’ve visited to create Six26.” There’s no official dance floor, but the lounge will include tables, a DJ booth, and stadium seating should you want to show off your dance moves. The space extends from Columbus to Newark Avenue. A secluded stairway will lead you down to the lounge with its sleek 45-foot bar. The Lounge: From the moment you set foot inside Six26, you’ll know this is unlike any bar in Jersey City, says Caulfield. Here’s why you’ll want to be first in line when it opens next month. “It’s that simple.”Īlong with co-owner Kenny Caulfield, the team behind Six26 gave Jersey City Upfront a tour of the new space. “We want to provide a space for Jersey City’s LGBT community,” says Director of Operations and New Jersey native Andrew Lam. Named after the date on which the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality (June 26, 2015), the tri-level bar will feature a sleek lower level lounge, rooftop bar, and private events room. Inclusiveness is the theme at Six26 Lounge & Rooftop, a new LGBTQ-friendly bar set to open next month at 128 Christopher Columbus Drive (between Grove & Barrow).
