I spent eight years in the City of Hoboken while attending law school and practicing law in New York City, and I went out after school or work just about every single night.  Hoboken boasts an outstanding nightlife with a wide variety of restaurants and bars.  If you live in Hoboken for eight years, you'll have the opportunity to try them all.  But if you're only visiting Hoboken or just now moving to Hoboken, you'll need someone to guide you through Hoboken's best nightlife.  And I'm here to do just that.  

If you're entering Hoboken by train, or by PATH from Manhattan, Jersey City or Newark, you'll want to hit a bar as soon as you step out of the station.  No problem.  Some of Hoboken's best nightlife is waiting just across the street.  If it's early in the day and between the months of May and September, grab a table at Texas-Arizona.  Sitting outisde, sipping a beer or slugging down a scotch, you'll have a great view of Manhattan and of the young girls and guys just getting home from work in the City.  When the sun goes down, on weekends Texas-Arizona packs the house, drawing people in with a seemingly endless list of beers from around the world and a hip DJ or live music.  You can also grab a bite to eat here, though I wouldn't try to get too fancy.  The burger's fine but the steak's not all that great.  Or go with something Southwestern, which is sort of their theme.  Of course, in Hoboken, nightlife involves bar hopping, so finish your drink and head back outside.  The night's only just begun.
