Bartender is nice and quick to serve. Cash only. ATM available. They do not run tabs unfortunately. Drink prices are extremely reasonable, especially when it comes to bottled beer. Speaking of bottled beer, I would say they have the coldest bottled beer I have ever had in a bar. I also like they give you a visual choice of the cold glasses you would potentially like to drink your beer out of. Not a place I would completely travel out of my way to get to, but if I'm in the area I would pop in.

Well done Mike & Morgan and the McGoverns team. Tip: Parking is tough, park around the corner in the pay lot, 10 bucks. Great local bar in the heart of Newark. Great atmosphere and good staff. Worth stopping by if your in the area. Thanks

As sweet as the bartender was, unfortunately we could not understand each other due to the language barrier. I ordered chicken tacos with a side of tostones.

Service was terrible, after receiving our food our server never came back to check in. We had to go to the bar to finally get our check. She never gave us utensils and took forever to get our drinks.

If your going to eat here I recommend luch or early dinner as this place turnes into a sausage fest from after work hours till closing. This is a typical Newark hoochie bar. Theirs about 20 female bar tenders, all trying to weasel shots out of you at 10$ a pop. Most a fairly pretty ( actually meet my GF here)...lol. you can blow through cash at this place if your not careful. All that being said overall if your a guy and into loud Spanish music, (which i'm not ) lol, and like Spanish girls ( which i do)..then this is your hangout. I'm usually the only gringo in the place, very few speak English and it's mainly all Ecuadorian guys that hang here. It's not a place to bring your girl and chill.

My partner enjoyed his steak sandwich as well which had cheese whiz. Super local spot. Has maybe three tables. Employees were nice. Place is across from a church so easy to get food after service! Would def come again for value, flavor, and size!

Before Jersey Mike's. Before Blimpie…read more Before Firehouse Subs. Before Subway. Before Jimmy John's. Before (okay, you get the idea)... there was Big Stash's. A (local) institution. Long before the likes of Subs Galore (a few blocks away) tried to rock the boat, Stash's was the only game in town (for a whole lotta years). I grew up two blocks away and I'm positive I put the original owner's kids through college with all the money I dropped here. After hearing new owners decided to keep the lights on I had to make an effort to get over here to show my support. Walking into the new Stash's... the place received a 'glow-up' (I'm entirely too old to be trying to use hip slang!) and loved that they decided to keep the framed Scott Baio picture (one of these days I'll share the 'deets' on that!). Surprised to see a few new menu additions (coffee?! Taylor ham?! Manhattan Special Espresso Soda?!) as well as being open more days and longer hours. For the sake of history I had to try their 'Belly Buster' and the kid handed me the sub in a box. ("Huh?! This is a weird gimmick.") But when I got home to open the box I understood 'why' - no wax paper and standard paper bag would've been able to hold this beast together. Just a ridiculous amount of (Thumann's) cold cuts and toppings that the (decent) bread tried in vain to keep together. "Bang for your buck" - you won't find a better deal. But for me it was TOO much and there's definitely an 'art' and a 'balance' to the ratio of meat to toppings to bread and Stash's is a bit TOO generous for my liking. One odd tidbit that brought me back to my youth and the old Stash's... that "stinky sub smell" that you just can't get off of your hands (and body) - no matter how many times you wash your hands, brush your teeth, take a shower, you name it. (Sadly it's Pavlovian for me to want/need a Clinton's iced tea when devouring a Stash's sub but that's no longer an option.) I hope they have another fifty years of prosperity down there in West Hudson!

Great location, but the back yard is your forgotten oasis that should have been created at the inception of the business. The bar, is your bread and butter! At Lincoln Park party the bar was disappointing at least. No ice! Hello? It's a health violation to scoop ice from a dirty sink with beer and wine bottles standing in it....if your ice machine was broken it's not an excuse; excuses are for the incompetent in business...bar staff was weak, slow and unresponsive to obvious needs of your patrons and sponsors. I will never be apologetic for having high standards with my people in business and services. It's my hope that you will smooth out those very rough edges and create a quality business soon.

The downstairs bar is a good size but my only complaint (the reason this place isn't 5 stars) is the dumb automatic alcohol dispenser. It slows down the pouring and cocktails can taste watered down.

They have a wonderful upstairs area that could easily be used to host a small bday group , rehearsal dinner, event etc. Im sure its reasonibly priced too!
