Good Food and Service - Local Institution…read more Welcoming place. Attentive and friendly owners and staff. Irish Fries were a great start. Burgers to follow; I had the "Scully" and my wife had the "Rodeo". Both were first rate. Atmosphere and history in a place is hard to find and McGoverns nails it. 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

Historic roots in the Newark Community, the Tavern has the interior from when it was in its own building. Went here often in college. Bill Scully, the owner at the time is a major branding. Rectangular bar with several dining rooms. Great selection of beers, ciders, wine, and mixed drinks. I got the Scully Burger which includes Taylor Ham. We had plenty of good appetizers. Our Waitress and her colleagues were amazing

Unfortunately, I ordered a LIT, which was very weak. Fish and Chips had no flavor (not even salt), which was disappointing. Even their Shrimp Tacos was a little off.

Kill Kenny…read moreAleHouse definitely has that classic dive bar vibe--laid-back, unpretentious, and a great spot to hang out with friends or coworkers. It's also conveniently located near cultural and residential areas, making it a solid pre-game or pre-concert stop. They had happy hour going on, which is always a plus. Service was surprisingly attentive for a dive bar--we were hanging out in the back, and the staff still checked on us regularly, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was chill, exactly what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar. I had a glass of Merlot, which was decent, though in hindsight, a draft beer probably would've been the better move for the setting. As for food, I got the wings--big, decent, and satisfying, though not the best I've ever had. Still, they did the job. Overall, Kill Kenny AleHouse is a solid local spot if you're looking for a relaxed, no-frills place to grab a drink and some bar food. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and need a casual spot to unwind.

Great music, a chill atmosphere, and some of the friendliest/funniest bartenders you'll ever meet. They make you feel welcome the second you walk in. :-) The food is so good, and I have to give a special shoutout to the shrimp tacos (they're my absolute favorite!). Perfectly seasoned and just insanely satisfying, especially when you're hanging out with good company and a great drink in hand. Honestly though, everything on the menu hits! Whether we're grabbing a quick bite, staying for a couple of drinks, or just enjoying the music, this place never disappoints. Love this bar and can't recommend it enough!!

Our bartender was super friendly and she had the best recommendations! There's beers on tap and lots of liquor on the shelf to choose from. The variety they had was really surprising to me. I usually like whiskeys and bourbons, but there were so many choices I wasn't sure what to try. Upon finding out I prefer sweeter drinks, she recommended the Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon. Her recommendations to others in our group was on point too. I will definitely come again if I'm in the area.

Michael's Roscommon House in Belleville truly exceeded my expectations…read more Their French onion soup is easily one of the best I've had in New Jersey. The gratin was perfectly done, the broth was rich and flavorful, and everything tasted balanced and well executed. We started with a Tito's mule and a passion fruit margarita -- both refreshing and well made. The garlic and cheese Jersey wings with their house sauce were outstanding and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was incredibly creamy, generously cheesy, and finished with a golden crust that added great texture. The ribeye with spinach was cooked to the perfect temperature, and the blue cheese burger with bacon and onion rings had an amazing contrast between creamy and crispy. The mushroom pizza with extra cheese was another great choice. The menu offers Irish, Italian, and American options, so there's something for everyone. It's a family-friendly sports bar with a welcoming atmosphere -- perfect for watching your favorite team while enjoying great food. Highly recommend. We will absolutely return.

Basically, you order at a bar and you bring it over to a table. The food menu is quite limited. I posted a menu picture. We ordered beer and wine, two hamburgers and a Turkey BLT with fries. The Tavern is known for their hamburgers. Food is just fair. My turkey BLT was okay. Fries could've been much better. I had a taste of the burger. It was pretty good. Only after we ate, a server did come by for drink orders. The Tavern has a very nice outdoor garden seating area for the warmer weather. Basically, I think this place is just best to stop in for a few drinks. A small, very tight parking lot is available. In addition, street parking is available but be prepared to walk a distance.

But after I gave it another shot later, I realized they take online orders. The estimated time here does seem to be off though, as I showed up about 5 minutes before the ETA and it was already sitting around being less hot. So maybe estimate picking up even earlier than that. When I came, the place was packed, but it was a game night. The kitchen/pick up area is way in the back, but I will say, their hot pretzel is fantastic. The flavor itself is good and crunchy, but with the cheese sauce, it was truly delectable. It was just pure thick cheddary liquid goodness. It also came with a mustard if you're that sort, but just the combo of pretzel and cheese makes for such a good and quick snack. They also have a trivia night promotion, so I'm interested in checking that out, but for bar food (even to go) is pretty solid.
