Mathews Food & Drink Jersey City Happy Hour: Weekdays 4–6pm
Mathews Food & Drink, an American restaurant at 351 Grove Street in Downtown Jersey City, runs happy hour Monday to Friday from 4 to 6pm, covering draft beer, wine, specialty cocktails and a short bites menu.
The verdict: the reason to go is that the specialty cocktails are on the happy hour, not just a well drink. The 80’s Glam, for one, is $16 on the regular menu. The restaurant doesn’t publish happy hour prices, so we can’t tell you how much you’ll save.
