Hey guys, visiting family in Brooklyn, from Vancouver. Going to the game tomorrow night! Best bars near prud? Cheers and go devils! tmrw!
Welcome to NJ! From my post on the previous page:
- Taj Lounge 973 - https://www.tajloungenj.com/ - it's where the old Brick City Bar & Grill used to be. More recently, this space was PJ Ryan's.
- Three Levels Lounge - no website - I forget what this place used to be called but it's like a block south of the arena on Mulberry St.
- Novelty Burger - noveltyburger.com - this one has been around for a while on Market Street
- Bello's Pub & Grill - no website - located opposite side of the train station from the arena. Probably one of my favorite pre-game spots, but can get crowded.
If you’re really into craft beer, Bello’s is probably the best. They have a ton of craft bottles available.
Redd’s Biergarten is also right next to the arena. You can get absolutely hammered drinking a liter of beer there, but it does get very crowded with everyone else trying to do the same.
If you have time to bar crawl, McGovern’s is probably the most iconic/historic bar in Newark but it’s a bit of a walk away from the arena (though a very safe area being near businesses and the colleges).
There are also 2 bars within the arena that are open before the game. One is in the restaurant, and the other is located above section 1. There’s a staircase to get there from the lower concourse.
Enjoy!
