A typical Irish pub. Cosy with delicious drinks (we had Guinness and Smithwicks). Plus fish n chips and burgers. Very good. The staff was very friendly too.
very fresh marinara
Classic college Irish bar. Not too much more to say, other than it gets crowded and the shepherds pie was tasty.

McGoverns Tavern is an honest Irish pub in Newark, with reasonable prices and great lemonade. The attentive service stands out, even when busy. The place has a cozy vibe with TVs, dating back to the '30s. It features a rectangular bar and several dining rooms, offering a great selection of beers, ciders, wine, and mixed drinks. The historic interior reflects its roots in the Newark community, and the ambiance is perfect for a drink, especially on Friday nights, with the right music and a young crowd. McGoverns Tavern is a comfortable spot that won't disappoint, especially if you're not looking for an upscale bar experience. The workers are extremely kind and quick, welcoming customers like family. The food is delicious with good portions and very reasonable prices. Customers particularly enjoy the Thierry turkey dinners, fried chicken, and corned beef and cabbage. The atmosphere is top-tier, and the bartender Moe is incredible at his job, providing a bomb experience.
