Who is Hoboken-bar.net?
Hoboken-bar.net was founded in 1998 when an idea on the back of a cocktail napkin was brought to life on the Internet. The basis of this idea was to have one site that integrated all the information from the local bars, pubs and restaurants and present it in a user-friendly environment. Since the launch of the site in the early summer of 1998, our idea has proven to be a solid plan for marketing to the local market, as well as surrounding markets. We have since branched out our marketing efforts from the cyber-world to the real world. Working with bar owners, bartenders, wait staff and our users we develop campaigns and events that are beneficial for all. In 2002 we hosted “It’s a Small World Al-co-hol 2002”, which featured 25 bars and over 4000 attendees.

Hoboken-bar.net's philosophy is simple; Think small, grow big. We want be able to meet each owner’s wants and needs, while developing an efficient infrastructure, which enables it to grow big. In 2003, we merged with MurphGuide Entertainment Inc. (murphguide.com) a local New York City entertainment site. This strategic merger has allowed us to grow by 200%, while still allowing us to remain a “small” company. By using shared resources, Hoboken-bar.net is able to offer many new advertising streams to the local market.
