This was just named the best sports bar in New Jersey

You don’t have to be a huge football, baseball, or basketball fan to enjoy your time at a sports bar — I speak from experience.

Ultimately, the atmosphere, the food, and the people around you contribute to having a good time.

I know, I know, it’s also great when your team wins, but isn’t that obvious? Let’s focus on the bars!

Where is the best sports bar in New Jersey?

One sports bar in Newark was just named the best in the Garden State in a report by BetUS.

The site looked at the top bars in each state and ranked them based on their Google review scores, alongside the price of a beer and a burger.

The favorite in our state not only ranked the 95th best in the United States, it got an impressive rating of 4.6 on Google reviews.

Krug's Tavern in Newark, is the best sports bar in New Jersey

The family-owned restaurant has been serving customers in Newark since 1932. Founded by Frank and Laura Krug, it’s now being run by the fourth generation.

The affordable prices, large portions, great tasting food, and beer are what allow Krug's Tavern to stand out as the best sports bar in New Jersey, and a top 100 sports bar in the nation.

According to BetUS’s report, Krug's Tavern’s cheapest beer is priced at $4.25, and its cheapest burger is at $13.00.

In addition to its burgers and drinks, the tavern is also known for its homemade marinara sauce best paired with shrimp or calamari.

Something to consider next time you want to watch a game with some good food and drinks: Check out Krug’s Tavern. It's at 118 Wilson Ave. in the Ironbound section.
