8 Best Pubs near Newark

“Fun, friendly dive bar! Came here to play pool (they have 1 table) but ended up sticking around and had a blast joining their Wednesday Night Bingo. I haven't played Bingo since elementary school and I can definitely say it's way more fun as an adult + alcohol. Crowd was older and not super diverse but everyone was nice, taught us the ropes of playing Bingo and even shared their home made brownies. Rhonda was our lovely bartender and she was a riot! Strong pours and just the right level of sass. Didn't see much options for food besides chips and nuts but there's plenty tasty food options in the neighboring plazas.“

“I love this place!! But then I might be kinda bias since my Uncle John hosts an open mic night there. That and they serve some of the best micro beers around. One of the few places I know where I can get Pliny the Elder on tap. They also have live music every night.“

“I recently hosted an event for students here and it was fantastic! The space/venue, hospitality, service, and food were excellent. I could not get a hold of anyone by phone the week before our event since the pub was closed for summer hour and menu changeover. However, I was able to get connected with the pub manager via email and he immediately replied and was accommodating to my request to come 30 minutes prior to the pub opening to set up and order food. When I arrived the team started rearranging tables and setting up our space. The manager helped me order food and ensured the food was brought out right as our guests arrived. This event was very casual and we had only asked for help with ordering food in advance, but the whole team there went above and beyond our expectations! We would definitely host future events here and highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have an event or to just come to for a hangout!“

“Stopped by three times during my week stay in Palo Alto. Chill, laid-back bar with Pliny on tap. Why try anywhere else when you found something right up your alley? Will be back next time my travels bring me to Stanford. Didn’t have food but looks surprisingly good.“

“I frequently attend happy hours here, and the beer selection is great. The bartenders are welcoming and go out of their way to make the service great. I ordered a NASA Spacebar pint glass for my beer and the bartender rinsed and iced the glass before carefully pouring my beer to the rim with the optimal amount of head.Attention to detail is on point here, and I'm glad for service like this.“

“Ate here a few weeks ago while family was in town, and was very happy with the experience. Just barely ordered before Happy Hour ended (or was it Super Happy Hour? I don't recall!). While I wasn't really all that hungry, I opted for the fish and chips, because it's my goto for testing this type of place on a first visit. It was HUGE fillet, with crispy breading that was properly fried. I almost couldn't finish it, which is odd for me. Could have used a lot more lemon, as one piece doesn't do much, but that's such a minor issue. The service was great, even though our server was literally on her first shift, and being shadowed by another staff member. All in all it was a great experience.“

“This was stop number one of the Tri-Valley Food Tour on the Livermore Wine Trolley. We had a nice private room. The food was a bit slow to arrive and was okay. I really like the zucchini sticks, but the chicken quesadilla was dry and lacking cheese. The buffalo may be great for someone else, but too spicy for me. The good thing was the variety. My husband enjoyed a beer.“

“Crystal pours the drinks!!She took good care of me and made a good evening even better. Probably the nicest bartender I've ever met and that includes myself. Great food right next door at the taqueria. Can't wait to find an excuse to be back.“
