About No. 75<\/p>\n

Owners Wendy + Brian have lived in Jersey City for six years and have backgrounds in corporate America. They said that their shared passion for hospitality drew them into the industry.\n<\/p>\n

As for the space\u2019s name and vibe, they said, \u201c\u2019No. 75\u2032 is named after the building\u2019s original bank address, tying the bar directly to its early-1900s roots. The numbered format echoes how many Prohibition-era speakeasies were typically named \u2013 simple, discreet, and easy to overlook. With the original, 120-year-old, 12,000-pound vault still in place, the name is an ode to the history of cocktails and the walls that house us.\u201d
