A Neighborhood Place

In the heart of one of the most diverse cities in the U.S., The Horseshoe Kitchen & Bar in Jersey City is a vibrant new restaurant from the teams behind Brewshot Cafe at Liberty Harbor and Butterfunk Biscuit in Harlem.

In 1871, what is now the Soho West neighborhood of Jersey City was known as “The Horseshoe.” This area, which gives this new restaurant its home and name, describes both the shape of the gerrymandered second ward, the iron that poured from its steel mills, and perhaps, a bit of luck for new immigrants hoping to make it big in Jersey City.

The Horseshoe Kitchen & Bar pays homage to the international community that built Jersey City with a fusion menu by Top Chef finalist and author, Chef Chris Scott. Chef Scott, who brings passion and experience to the kitchen, draws inspiration from a global pantry of flavors and influences– connecting the past and present in his soul-food-with-a-twist.
