Reviews for McGoverns Tavern in Newark, NJ
We stopped in for drinks. We ordered 2 beers, the Kona Big Wave and a local beer called, Opportunity. Opportunity smelled and... tasted pretty much like soap. I drank almost half before I just didn?t want to force it down anymore. I politely expressed thisto my server and she said there?s no way of refunding or replacing it. I?ve personally worked in a few restaurants, one was aGastropub. In all of my serving jobs we never told customers, sorry you?ll have to pay for something else if you don?t like itsince we won?t do anything else about this local beer that tastes like soap expect make you pay for a different one. Leaving onestar for the Kona Big Wave and being seated promptly. Read more
I feel like I?ve been coming here since the day I was born, even though that would be illegal. If McGoverns had a membership... program, I would be a triple platinum gold elite ambassador. McGoverns is an institution of the local community. In one word,classic. The food is good, the beer is great, and the staff are even better. Even if you can?t remember half the time you werehere, you can rest assured that 100% of the time you were here was a good time. Read more
Great food and service! Always a great experience at McGovern?s. Local college bar so can get busy during the academic year on... weekends and holidays but during the summer/lunch time it?s really tame. Food is always fresh and servers are always reallynice. Read more
We stopped by Mc Govern on a weekday noon for lunch. Its situated in the busy area of Newark, so parking is sorta difficult to... get during lunch hours. The restaurant has nice Irish pub ambiance, but appears somewhat stale with its interiors andfurniture. Food wise I did like my corn beef rueben. The ingredients blended well. Sweet potato fries were good too. We willvisit this place often since it?s a decent lunch spot. Read more
One of my favorite places to grab a drink in Newark! My coworkers and I go here for pretty much all of our celebratory events... and good ol' happy hour. But listen THE BURGERS ARE TO DIE FOR! (Closely followed by the stuffed jalapenos and mozzarellasticks) -- anyway go here thank me later. Read more
Great place, has an amazing vibe. Food is a good too, but a little expensive for what you get. Paid 15$ for three small pieces... of fish it was phenomenal don?t get me wrong just wish portions were a little bigger Read more
Welcome back! Excellent rehab, just like I left it only cleaner and bigger. The wait staff was courteous and knowledgeable. The... corned beef Rueben was perfect. My friend had the Dublin Decker, also was rave. With all the college students, ???? workers,and lawyers I expect it to always be popping. Read more
