I had an amazing experience at this restaurant on 12/16. Our server Georgia was so friendly, attentive and answered all of our questions about this week’s specials. The roast beef sandwich she recommended was phenomenal. Definitely will be back to enjoy good food and great service from Georgia!

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED FLY IN ICE CUBE SCREW IN FOOD I came here for a night out and asked the bartender for a simple cup of ice only to find a fly frozen inside one of the ice cubes. I have no idea how something like that could even happen, but it’s completely unacceptable.
I understand bartenders get busy so they aren’t looking inside of cups of ice when making drinks but when I brought it to his attention, he just took the cup, threw it away, and didn’t even look inside to see what I was talking about. He avoided eye contact and didn’t say a single word no apology, no acknowledgment, no offer to make it right.
This occurred on September 28th around 10 PM. To make matters worse, a friend of mine recently ordered cheesecake eggrolls from this same establishment and found an entire screw in her food.
It’s clear there’s a serious issue with cleanliness and customer care here. This experience was absolutely disgusting, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable for any business that serves food or drinks.

I travel about an 1 &1/2 to visit a friend here and It never disappoints me. Pool Tables are perfect, drinks good, music bringing the vibes and service is great. I love it here and recommend everyone to check it out. It has 2 billiard tables and some arcade games out and indoor seating and even triva night! I can't wait to go back.

Great local bar with an Irish pub feel. They have delicious potato skins and Guinness on tap. They also have some gteat happy hour specials. What more could you ask for?

I waited for a server for 20 minutes. They kept walking by my table and didn’t say a word. Me and friend finally got up left and went across the street to the Oyster House!

Catherine Rooney’s offers an energetic blend of Irish pub and American bar and grill, making it a favorite for both weekend outings and casual weeknight dinners. Located near the heart of Newark, the space is welcoming and lively, with dark wood furniture, Irish-themed décor, and TVs playing sports games. They also have live music on select nights, which adds to the friendly, upbeat vibe. The menu is more diverse than you’d expect from a traditional pub, offering everything from fish and chips to flatbreads, burgers, and shepherd’s pie. I opted for the Guinness-battered fish and chips, and it was spot on. The fish had a golden, crispy batter and flaky interior, served with thick-cut fries and tangy tartar sauce. My friend ordered the Jameson BBQ burger, which was juicy, loaded with flavor, and came with a side of sweet potato fries that were crisp and not greasy. We also tried the Irish nachos—house chips topped with cheese, bacon, and scallions—and they were surprisingly addictive. The drink menu includes a good selection of beers on tap, Irish whiskeys, and creative cocktails. Service was attentive despite the busy crowd, and prices were on par with similar pubs in the area. Catherine Rooney’s strikes a great balance between festive bar and solid dining spot. It’s fun, flavorful, and worth visiting again.
Get the fish and chips! I sat at the bar. Someone came out from the back to get beer for the batter. The grilled lemon was a nice extra touch.

Such a nice place! Beautiful and reasonably priced drinks. I saw live music from the band Vanylla Godzylla and it was absolutely amazing! Great show, they got the place packed, and them and the crowd had great energy. I will definitely come here for drinks again and I hope Vanylla Godzylla has more shows here!

Rooney’s food was absolutely amazing! Ordered the breakfast pizza yesterday (they are the only place I know that offers a brunch menu on Fridays) and the pizza was beyond fantastic! Huge serving so had left overs this morning and it was just as good as it was yesterday. Devon was so attentive and she makes yummy margaritas. My hubby enjoyed the delicious vodka water ice. Great EVERYTHING at Rooney’s!
