North Bergen Breweries & Craft Drinks | NJDrinks

Skip to main content

North Bergen, in Hudson County, occupies a stretch of the Palisades ridge and flatlands directly north of Jersey City and Union City, with the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline to the east. It is a densely populated urban township with a significant Hispanic population and a commercial character shaped by the Tonnelle Avenue and Bergenline Avenue corridors. The NJ Transit bus network and access to the Lincoln Tunnel make it functionally part of the New York metro core.

Craft beverage venues in North Bergen operate in a market where proximity to Manhattan creates both opportunity and competition. The township’s density provides a resident base large enough to support urban-style taprooms, and improving access to Hudson County’s craft beverage scene has been part of the broader bar and food revival in the area. For visitors crossing from Manhattan via the Lincoln Tunnel or taking the bus from Port Authority, North Bergen is an accessible stop in Hudson County’s growing craft production landscape.
