😠 Wish I read the reviews before I came with my friends. Usually you think of Hoboken and associate it with a good time and well run clubs, so the thought had not even crossed my mind. First you walk up the door and it’s a $20 cover. Fine, we paid. Our main issue of the night was the bar service. Firs...

    Wish I read the reviews before I came with my friends. Usually you think of Hoboken and associate it with a good time and well run clubs, so the thought had not even crossed my mind. First you walk up the door and it’s a $20 cover. Fine, we paid. Our main issue of the night was the bar service. First, crazy wait time to get a drink. All 5 of of us were drinking either vodka red bull’s or vodka lemonade, yet somehow every round of drinks was a different price. Literally every tab brought to us ranged between $26-$33 for 2 of the same drink. Still, we didn’t think to ask questions and just figured outrageous Hoboken prices. Bartender also refused to close out a tab below $20, so you were forced to buy at least 2 drinks at once. At one point the bartender closed out a tab for strangers with my friends card (on accident,but still). She was told she would get a refund, the mistake was caught right away, and instead it is now 4 days later and the charge went up $10 because the bartender tipped herself! DO NOT GO HERE unless you want to be scammed out of your money.

    First of all the bartender charged my card for the wrong person all night. I was charged originally $37 that she told me she refunded because she used the wrong card. I never got refunded but she apparently gave herself a tip because the charge went up to $46. On the drinks I actually purchased she again added a nice $10 tip for herself that I know I didn’t leave. When I tried calling about this they told me to contact my bank. I would just like my money back and to never return to this place again. I bought two drinks all night and my total charge was $83. Please make it make sense. Anyway, I recommend going literally anywhere else but this place.

    Absolutely horrible, racist staff. My friend was not allowed back inside, despite several intoxicated white men stumbling inside. My friend? He only had two beers, purchased from Birch. Every single bouncer here and at the connected bar next door, told me to talk to management, however there was never a manager available to talk to. They had nothing to say to my friend, but my white boyfriend? They were happy to talk to him, with more elaborate excuses. Do not spend your money here. Do not support this business. If you’re not white, you are NOT welcome here. Do not be fooled by the Latin music. This is not an establishment that respects anyone other than an entitled frat boy.

    The bouncers here were absolute scum. I tried to find my friends and was lost outside. They attacked my friend and told me to go 'F my self. In3ill never go here again. I had three friends inside and went out to smoke. They wouldn't even help call my friends or grab them even though my phone was dead and I was trapped in the middle of the street alone. Worst service and worst bar I've ever been to. Please, for your safety, stay away.

    Came here for a friends birthday, it was fun until the bartenders were so freaking rude for no reason. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CARD ON TAB! My friend bought two shots & was charged $80! The bartender had “mistaken” him for someone else’s drinks, so then proceeds to bring the manager and says money will be refunded. Next few days, they charged the card for $100!!!!!!!

    I wish I could give this place a negative star review. The bartenders basically rob you. I went out for a fun night for a friends 21st birthday and they tried to charge me 65$ for two drinks and a shot. Will absolutely never be attending this establishment ever again and I hope to get my money back.

    Came here for boozy brunch, first time ever. This is a Techno Club ‼️‼️ All they played was techno music So I guess it’s best when you’re on ACID ‼️‼️ I wasn’t on ACID though so I can’t tell During the buffet, I loved the shrimps. Menu looked nice and drinks are soooo reasonably priced! just make sure not to get ripped off if paying with credit card seems to be an issue here but I was okay Everything else in buffet reminds me of my MIDDLE SCHOOL BREAKFAST AND LUNCH though‼️‼️ but once you’re drunk it’s aiiii, I reminded myself price is okay and not expensive in NYC all these things would’ve been like 90 at least anyways staff was quick and attentive I’ll make sure to bring ACID next time

    What a great weekend at Birch Hoboken. Me and my friends came for a 23rd Birthday. The staff from top to bottom was exquisite. The door staff made sure my entire party was checked in, in a timely manner, and then they walked us right to our section. Throughout the night, both the bottle waitresses and management checked with us, to make sure we were having a great time. The music, the VIP presentation, the staff and the crowd made this a night to remember. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.

    From Day 1 to today it has been 52 weeks in row without losing every weekend living every Friday and Saturday the best experience that Birch has with its theme parties every Friday a different and exciting proposal loaded with lots of fun and excellent music hosted by different djs each weekend. Being the only night club in the area, either hanging out with your friends or being at a ViP table, which has amplified my experience in the venue due to the excellent service from the staff behind it, definitely a place where I feel safe and with the expectation that it will always be the best party night

    Came to birch to talk to a management about an ID misunderstanding after getting turned away with valid IDs at their establishment around the corner, and instead got yelled at by grown men bouncers. Grown men bouncers yelling at women what a disgrace. No customer service and very rude bouncers. Bouncers whose main job is to keep people safe and be knowledgeable about IDs as they are the ones who check. And instead of being helpful and making people safe, they yell at women. Stay far away. Would give them 0 stars if that were possible.

    Bottomless mimosas are the saving grace of Birch brunch. The $20 bloody Mary was delicious and over the top but a bit expensive. The brunch buffet was all breakfast food with limited options over all. For $40/person for bottomless food and booze, I left wanting more than what I got. The Instagram posts don't match the experience overall I.e no sprinkles on the mimosas unless you ask.

    The Bar was very good and we experienced pleasant moments in it and everything was great, the DJ was also great, the only problem was that I was taking pictures and videos of myself on the stairs upstairs to record the good moments. But one of the security guards, who was short, looked next to me and looked at my mobile screen, as if he doubted that I was doing something immoral!!! I don't know why he did this and I didn't feel good at all because I was texting my mother!! There was no reason for him to come and look at my mobile screen!!! I leave this comment on December 30, 2022 and I was there for the Hang Over Party

    Paid for a table and then was promptly kicked out for no reason. Will never return to this over priced bar. This bar is ridiculous expensive and definitely not worth It. They decide we got to drunk the moment we stepped outside and did not let us in. Be aware of the old self entitled security guard named MARIO who’s seems to be above it all for no reason other than self enjoyment. Bad dude and even worse security guard, racist staff, never coming back would rather stay home than come here

    What an amazing 🤩 night!! It was my first time in the place to celebrate my best friend's bachelorette party and I have to say that the reception of the host staff at the entrance until they took us to our reserved VIP table was invaluable the bottle services and the attention from the staff flawless, the promoters team was very nice and attentive to make sure that we don’t missing anything to had the best night bachelorette party and the music experience along with the led lights effects was exquisite it’s def Birch Hoboken Night Club the vibe to follow. I will planning to be back and especially for my birthday 🥳 🎉🍾

    From start to the end, the customer service was absolutely amazing and everyone went over the top to make sure I enjoyed my birthday party! Their VIP manager did an excellent job communicating with me diligently about pricing and giving me the best possible accommodations. Truly the best place in NJ to celebrate any occasion and I will absolutely be returning in the future for more!

    The music is okay but the place is very small and line takes forever. Then once you get inside, if you want to get drinks at the bar.. don’t expect to receive the deals promoted. Every time i’ve come to this place there has been a “special” for drinks and the bartenders do not acknowledge the deals even when you specifically ask about them. It seems like they want to rip you off which sucks because I would much rather get a deal and give a good tip than feel like the bartender is being sketchy. Especially when the DJ mentions the deal on the mic and the bartenders still don’t give the same price… after that I don’t want to give them a tip at all honestly. For a bar that gets most of their customers by promoting deals and sending out promotional texts messages almost every day, this is very unprofessional and sketchy. After a couple times of this happening I will not be coming back and will not recommend this place to anyone.

    We took our daughters and some friends to Birch for a birthday dinner and they were wonderful! We had one kid with significant allergies with us, and the Birch management and staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. Burgers and shakes were AMAZING! And the balloons, sash, and sparklers for the birthday girl made the whole thing super special. What a treat! Thank you Birch!!!

    If I can give it no star I would but since I have no choice but to put 1 star, I came in on Saturday night and when i tell you the bartender women whatever her name was give this place a bad name. She was very rude. Acting like they don't see you asking for a drinks. I will never never come here.

    Jared elevated the experience to the next level. I have never had such good service before being served by Jared. Our party was so impressed with Jared’s performance we immediately reserved a table a few weeks out.

    Celebrated my 23 birthday at Birch with bottle service and it was amazing! Staff was super helpful, friendly and fun! The music was great and the themes make it so much more fun! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get down and celebrate!

    I celebrated my birthday this weekend at Birch and had an exceptional experience with everyone. Maura helped me with making the reservation and communicated very well to ensure I got everything I wanted, and the manager Paul was great and helpful as well! I highly recommend this place, such a fun time and great customer service!

    Came here last night for the first time with a friend. We thought the music was a pretty good variety! There was a carnival theme going on so that was cute. Very clean space and bathrooms. Unfortunately, we did not stay for more than an hour because our feet were killing us (again we are not familiar with the scene and wore heels.. should’ve gone for sneakers) and since there was no where to sit we left and went elsewhere. I understand the tables are VIP only… on the floor there was not one table being used, so I think it would be great to just charge a fee (I would’ve paid at least $20) to sit down but not get VIP service, just to take a break. I will definetly return 😊 (with sneakers!!!)

    I went here for my 23rd birthday and wow. It was truly an unforgettable night. From the service to the atmosphere it was all hands down amazing from the moment my group and I arrived. Upon arrival we were escorted to our section by door staff and greeted at our section by our bottle waitress. Throughout the night my group was checked up on by multiple staff members ensuring we were having a good time and had all we needed. Security was also very attentive making my group feel safe the whole night. It was a lot of my friends first times at Birch and we already have plans of coming back very soon. The whole experience is well worth the price you are paying!

    Overall great bar and club. Definitely recommend the milkshake here. Very friendly staff and pleasing aesthetics on the different levels they have. Was here for a friend's birthday and they went the extra mile to serve us. Overall very satisfied

    My friend and I each paid a $20 cover charge for drinks to get dumped on our shoes in an overcrowded bar with a floor covered in toilet paper.

    Went for cinco de Mayo with my friends and had the best night ever music was good vibes were good drinks were Frank’s and shots were shot. The dj played bad bunny and with the tequila flowing through me I was having the time of my life. Bad bunny + tequila = pure bliss. After last night Birch will forever be the last bar I hit before strolling down to Basiles pizza to end the night. The long line was 100% worth 10/10 would recommend. Live love !Birch

    They only play edm. So it’s trash. Oh and their customer service is absolutely disgusting. They have no idea how to run a nightclub. Half of them don’t even know who the manager is. It’s pathetic. Basically you pay 20 dollars for nothing. Go to the Shannon down the street. Actually good vibes and way way better music.

    First and last time I ever come here. I’m still trying to figure out why they have to open all bottles and take the caps like what make it make sense then they bring out bottle tables are still a mess no bucket of ice no real cups for champagne and the bottle girls are either slow or I don’t know but they need to get it together. I go out and spend and over tip shorty got her automatic gratuity cause it was not it. Like how do my bottles come out and you’re still looking for my bucket if ice sis get it together that’s the first thing that should Of landed on the table and it’s not even busy I work at venues that hold up to 2000 ppl. Don’t recommend save your money go somewhere else this place is TRASH

    Atmosphere is there but the DJ’s NEVER bring it. I get that we’re in Jersey but not every song needs to be a Jersey club mix ffs. Edit: 11:30 pm a new Dj came out and killed it

  • 1/5 Robert R. 8 months ago on Google
    Don’t recommend bottle service here its horrible stick to the bar. If you can avoid this place try to but if you have to just bar service. They make you open all you bottles and keep the caps so you can run through your bottles. Bottle girls are ugly have no type of customer service at least be ugly and treat me right. If I could give this place 0 stars i would. Nothing but young college kids.
