Private Events & Holiday Parties on the Jersey City Waterfront
Whether it’s a birthday dinner for 12 or a full buyout for the whole office, Blue Anchor gives your event a backdrop no banquet hall can match: the Manhattan skyline across the Hudson River. Our events team handles the details, from a custom menu to the bar package, so you can actually enjoy the party.
Now Booking Holiday Parties
December dates fill up fast. Whether you’re planning an office holiday party, a team dinner, a Friendsgiving, or a New Year’s celebration with friends, reach out early to hold your date and space.
Events We Host
We’ve hosted everything from intimate engagement dinners to buzzing product launches. Popular occasions include birthdays, holiday parties, corporate dinners and team happy hours, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, bridal and baby showers, graduation dinners, and brand activations, influencer events, and product launches. If you’re planning it, we’d love to host it.
Food & Drinks
Our kitchen builds every event menu around your group, with options for passed bites, family-style platters, or a plated prix fixe.. Crowd favorites include beef sliders, gyoza, crab cakes, flatbreads, our bao bun sampler, sushi rolls, and a seafood tower for the table, with entrées like ribeye, braised short ribs, brick chicken, pan-seared salmon, and a vegetarian cauliflower steak. Pair it with an open bar, beer and wine package, or signature craft cocktails.
Getting Here
Blue Anchor is at 166 River Drive in Newport, Jersey City, steps from the Newport and Hoboken PATH stations, the NY Waterway ferry, and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, which makes it an easy trip for guests coming from Manhattan, Hoboken, or anywhere in Jersey City.
