Last Call for GoldHawk!
7/10/2009 Update:
Want some last-minute plans?
Here’s two good reasons for you to have a drink at Goldhawk tonight (10th & Park)…
- Goldhawk is closing it’s doors for good tomorrow night and…
- Skanatra will be the last live band to play there! (8pm)

7/9/2009 Update:
3, 2, 1, Farewell!
The Goldhawk Bar and Lounge (10th and Park) is closing for good this Saturday night, July 11th.
If you’ve never been – stop by once in the next three days – so you can say that you have – or if you’re a regular, “close out” the memories and attend what should be a pretty big “last day” bash on Saturday night. (I believe the last “live band” will be tomorrow, Friday night).
From what I understand, the new owners are probably going to convert it into either a swanky lounge type establishment, or something cookie-cutter like other “successful” bars in Hoboken. Only time will tell how good it will be, what kind of clientele it attracts, and whether it’ll be worth repeated visits.
Thanks for the memories (I think) Goldhawk!

Hudson Tea Building is the “other side of town” also, and is not “the ghetto.”
In response to strand tramp who said:
first of all, there is no such thing as an Irish “Pub”…fake or otherwise. the word “pub” is an abbreviation of “public house” and it is from england not ireland you idiot. in ireland, just as here in the US, we have bars. and you say you moved to the ghetto to get away from the bars near city hall eh? so how’s that working out for you?

I live next to the Goldhawk and I have been waiting 5 years for this dump to close. It has been a complete waste of space- I hope the new owners can make it interesting and improve the neighborhood.

I haven’t commented on here in probably a year, but I have to on this one.
First off el_diablo you must be kidding. If you’re upset about a “waste of space” as you say, you can walk 100 feet to something else. You’re not living in Iowa. Secondly, do you want another Lounge 11 on your block? Have a great time with that if that’s what it becomes.
I’m really unhappy Goldhawk is closing. I have great memories from the Liquid Lounge open mike night and just as many during the Goldhawk days. Very unique, with a good crowd and good bands that aren’t Big Orange Cone or some other over-established band. Great people, great characters and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s really a shame that it’s closing to say the least.
Let’s see what happens, but I’m far from optimistic that something equally good and neighborhoody will open there.

i would LOVE to hear your suggestions. i have said this is my favorite bar in hoboken – what is yours? goldhawk – for a bar – was a good neighbor. anything new that goes there will not be as kind to the neighborhood i assure you. so what is your ideal use for that space?

Greetings and Felicitations.
I’m sure the new place will be frequented by the following:
1. Almighty Rottens
2. Pure and Vicious Stinkins
3. Chockfulls
4. Utter Lickers
5. Tremendous Mainers
6. Bombastic Butchers
7. Grade A Rottens
8. Unfiltered Almighties
9. They Are Beyond Belief
10. A Veritable Chockful
11. Lord A Pure Rotten Festival
12. A Disgrace Indeed
There are many more but what’s the use? The place will be overrun by all of the above and more. It’s a lost cause. Hoboken is diseased and there is no cure.
Good luck to future patrons and hopefully you can add to my list of an even dozen. I bid farewell to you all.

Goldhawk used to be Tavern on Park back when 10th & Willow was Ennio’s
A bartender from Hudson Tavern recently told me he’s re-opening here “hopefully in October” with a new place called Turtle Club. Didn’t seem like he was too interested in having live music. They want more dining tables in that back room.
