Mcgoverns Tavern - Newark

We stopped drinking. we ordered 2 beers, the kona big wave and a local beer called opportunity. the opportunity smelled and tasted quite as shallow. I almost drank half before I just didn't want to force it anymore. I put that politely to my server and she said there is no way to reimburse or replace it. I personally worked in a few restaurants, one was a gastropub. in all my servier orders we have never told customers, I'm sorry they have to pay for something else if they don't like it, because we will do nothing else about this local beer that tastes like beep they expect to pay for another. leave a star for the kona big wave and sit immediately.

I feel like I've come here since the day I was born, even though that was illegal. if mcgoverns had a member program, I would be a triple platinum-gold elite ambassador. mcgoverns is an institution of the local community. in a word, classic. eating is good, the beer is great, and the staff is even better. even if they cannot remember half the time they were here, they can be sure that 100% of the time they were here was a good time.

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 really nice.

We had a party for my Irish immigrant Dad here yesterday. My Dad actually worked at this bar in his 20s. No he is 80. Great food, great staff, wonderful time and the Guiness and Smithwicks Ale (try it if you havent before) are fresh and tasty. Beer goes fast here and no time to go stale in the keg

The owner himself had greeted my part of 6 almost immediately apon entering. He elected my boyfriend to be the representative of the group. Having him perform a “initiation” which was also a classy way to do a sobriety check. It was our first time and we were sober but very excited to take a break from the routine bar frequented at our local campus. There was a large selection of drinks and cocktails. A packed bar and even a back room that was also very busy. Allowing for tables to be put together for group and private parties. DEFINITELY A GREAT TIME, WE ALL AGREED TO COME BACK AGAIN!!
