What Jason Chen likes about Golden Cicada Tavern:
This bar is a peculiarity that is just plain awesome. While everything in Jersey City is sleek and shiny the Golden Cicada is a run down dive bar run by a mom and pop. For $50 i had 4 drinks for myself and bought 2 rounds for my friends. They have karaoke playing and everyone in the whole bar is singing along. I had a lot of fun at this place and i wanna come back soon View all feedback. What Rahul Manju Goyal doesn't like about Golden Cicada Tavern:
This is a nice spot in jersey city. I will say the vibe here is excellent! Outdoor space, nice staff, chill vibes. The food was average and the cocktails were a tad bit disappointing. If you’re coming here, I would recommend sticking to beers.Vegetarian options: They have plenty of veggie options. View all feedback.

Nice outdoor spot. Natalie is a great bartender and the spicy margaritas were on point. Will definitely return.
