A low-lit room, forty-two mezcals, a copper bar, and a kitchen that runs from eleven in the morning to ten at night. Pull up a stool.
We built Azul inside a building that spent half a century as part of The Record newspaper's River Street campus — poured concrete floors, factory windows set high in the walls, steel beams painted black. When the presses went quiet in 2008, the room sat empty for a decade. We found it in 2019 and stripped it back to the bones.
The kitchen, led by Chef Cristino Campos, runs all day — a rarity in this part of Jersey — so you can drop in for lunch, a late plate, or the full walk through the menu.
Come with friends. Or don't — the bar seats sixteen and the bartenders are good company.
