The Hoboken Planning Board earlier this week approved Pier 13′s plans to re-open this year and they are now open this weekend. They are serving craft beers and mixed drinks and have 4 food trucks as of Sunday. The lawn has been recently re-sodded and that are is closed off for another 1 1/2 to 2 weeks until the grass as had time to take root.
The beer truck is not there this year but instead a bar has been set up at the back of the main building in the pier. Other than loud music at the kickoff last year for 4th of July this outdoor bar space has received strong community support. Well over 2,000 residents signed the petition in support of this establishment. All that was required this year is that the proper approvals came from Hoboken Planning Board. Some restrictions did apply like no beer truck but instead a bar out of the back of the building but this space is able to run as a private bar on what is supposed to be public space and it is as it is open to the public whether you plan to drink or not.
The food trucks for Sunday included Luke’s Lobster, Pudgy’s Street Food, Hunger Construction and Munch Man Truck. Pier 13 is located at 1301 Sinatra Drive.
