Wing Bar Is Redefining Comfort Food in McGinley Square

Located at 684 Bergen Avenue in the heart of McGinley Square, Wing Bar isn’t just serving up some of the best wings in Jersey City—it’s creating an atmosphere where community, creativity, and quality collide. Since opening in 2023, this local hotspot has quickly made waves for its scratch-made, made-to-order menu and unforgettable vibe.

At the core of Wing Bar’s success are owners Bryan Lewis, originally from Howard County, Maryland and Morgan Kulessa, hailing from Toms River. Their energy is contagious, their hustle is nonstop, and it’s clear they’ve tapped into exactly what people want. With a deep understanding of flavor and culture, they’ve created a space that’s both welcoming and electric.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere hits you. The space is buzzing with locals, foodies, and first-timers who’ve heard the buzz—and for good reason. I was invited in to try the menu and left genuinely impressed. The Yardbird wings, a fusion of garlic parmesan and buffalo sauce, were a standout. The Honey Old Bay tenders, inspired by Bryan’s Maryland roots, were perfectly seasoned and crisp. But the surprise star? The double smash burger—easily one of the best I’ve had in the city.

Bryan, already a viral foodie with over 10k followers for his cooking videos and small business spotlights, brings his culinary vision to life with every dish. At Wing Bar, everything is made from scratch. Nothing frozen, nothing pre-made—just fresh, bold comfort food.

Their specialty? Twice-fried, breaded wings that deliver a crunch you won’t forget. And with orders flying in from open to close, Bryan wasn’t exaggerating when he said the place doesn’t slow down. I watched it happen in real-time—orders stacked, energy building, and a team that never missed a beat.

McGinley Square is a complex neighborhood—a true melting pot of culture, with visible disparities in wealth and rapid development. Yet Wing Bar thrives here, carving out a niche by being authentic, approachable, and bold. In an area undergoing change, Wing Bar stands as a reminder of what makes Jersey City special: hustle, flavor, and heart.

Whether you’re a wing lover, burger fanatic, or just someone looking for an incredible dining experience, Wing Bar is the place. This isn’t just one of the best wing spots—it’s one of the best atmospheres in Jersey City.
