Located in the center of Newark, this famous bar has a long history with the locals. The atmosphere remains the same with the murals of Ireland on the walls, but the clientèle is forever evolving as the decades change and a cross section of Newark crowds the bar. The chef's special recipes of Chili Cheese Burger and Southwestern Turkey Wrap are worth trying. Voted one of the best bars in America by Esquire, this place is a must visit for the sense of nostalgia felt here.
