Nugents Tavern

Nikki was amazing, provide great service and conversation while our group waited on a layover for our next flight. Food was on point. Couldn’t have picked a better spot in NJ.

GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH !!
Been coming here since I was 21 and been a regular ever since, love this place and will continue to keep going !! Never a bad meal or bad time .. highly recommended anyone stopping in town make sure to stop by.

Awesome spot. Great food and drinks. Having a deliciously made peanut butter burger and a Guinness after a long day is a great combination. Nikki adds a lot to the ambiance to make this place truly spectacular. Will certainly be back next time I am in town!

I wasn't a fan of this place in the earlier years (2014/2017) prior to me actually walking in and experiencing till my cousin gave me a tour in a sense... I got the hang of the atmosphere here with their awesome staff from Tony ( the fly guy of the night) Eric is who you'd be a lil afraid to deal with as a bartender (but has been the opposite he's a great vibe he kinda does lil tricks as he prepares your drinks) and of course Gina (Ms. Always on point she'll fix any issue you have) also Steve that's my boy (1 of the better pool players in the whole staff) when I first started coming.....Now their newer hires like Angie (the beautiful smiley girl next door) is such a great addition to the new staff there's Also D (she's a fun attentive barmaid) as well as Nicky (the Italian boss you can tell she's a boss when y'all get aquatinted) also Sacha (she's very nice moves quick she can look distracted but she's always on how can I help you mode when she senses eye contact lol) and their cooks ....man my boy Frank is a menace (he has things out in a jiffy looking like an Instagram post ) can't forget Jericho ( he's the coolest nice guy always polite and respectful )
Ahhh you have also have Luis (he's kinda misunderstood but very nice as well he can get food out ASAP too great quality staff.... And can't forget the security....they have control of the cool vibes and keep an eye out for any peeps that maybe causing a disturbance....oh man when you have DJ's here this place will take you back to the 90's and the early 2000's much respect to DJ Rome DJ Kevin and the homie DJ Berto that will cook up the newer vibe of 2008 to current music 🎵🎶 if you're looking for an inexpensive night with great service choices and people here's your place I love that there's no dress code and the atmosphere is so diverse that you're definitely making a friend or 2 as you come in more frequently

Amazing food. Best bartenders. Perfect bar atmosphere. Short ride from Newark Airport.

GINA the bartender was awesome. Very attentive and professional.

Quiet Saturday afternoon with great music playing, Bartender on duty, Danya, was lovely and attentive, and offered her delicious cocktail creation “Ginger Peach”
Pool Table in back

We had the pleasure of meeting Angie. What a wonderful bartender. We enjoyed talking to her, the food was good and the drink prices were fair. Atmosphere was chill. We will be back. Thanks for providing a great place by the airport for all of us that live in the area.

Niki was the bartender on duty. Great service very attentive to us at the bar. Teriyaki wings were great. Cheeseburger and fries very delicious. I’ll be back 👍🏽

Didn't think I would find such a comfortable bar with great food music and drinks while working in Newark. Boy was I wrong, this place was awesome. Nicki the bartender there was great and never let my drink get to empty!!

Have been a customer for over 20 years it just keeps getting better the cooks especially Jr are EXCELLENT the bartenders both old and new go above and beyond EVERY TIME the environment is very relaxing Highly Recommend Thanking Every Member of the Staff Thank You for ALL THAT YOU DO

From the second I walked in the door until the time came for me to say goodbye I can't recall feeling more welcomed at any place across the nation than I did right here at Nugents.

Aside from the instant comaraderie the food was ASTONISHING. As Steve told as I perused the menu "the burgers are life changing". Well. After munching down The Nuge, an absolutely delicious mushroom and Swiss with bacon and grilled onions...I am a changed man.

Thanks Steve. And Chris and his cousin and....was it Micky(?) the barender for making my shirt time at Nugents memorable.

I was looking for a beer and burger while staying at the airport hotel in Newark.

Nugents was absolutely fantastic! John made on of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The wings were superbly crispy and tender.

I was kind of expecting a local dive bar with typical bar food. Far from it!

Teresa was bar tending and she was easy going and personable.

While absolutely not fancy, the food, drink, and service was top notch.

Highly recommended!!!

I came here for lunch during a workday. NIKKI was the most amazing bartender who didn't have to ask when I was ready for a drink but kept the cold one's coming! She Offered a great choice on the happy hour menu for lunch and the rest is history. Nugents is my go to when I'm in Elizabeth. Great vibe, great service, great time!

An old bar with so much history. I just had to try the "best" burger in Elizabeth. I was greeted by Nikki behind the bar who was awesome !
She recommended the wings and burgers. I had both and after Frank the cook was done, he had created one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
This place is a must-try for anyone in Elizabeth.

Nikki was amazing and tended to me very well love it❤ will definitely be coming much more

Quaint bar. Nice atmosphere, Great service, food was fantastic!

Best fish taco I've ever had. Super chill vibe. Top tier staff.

Landed in NJ, about lunch time looking for somewhere close to eat, this place had high number of reviews on multiple sites, decided to give it a try. Great local atmosphere, Tony, the bartender was great and food was spot on!

I LOVE TONNNNYYYY!🥰🥰🥰🥰 I legit go on Sunday and Tuesday because he works so quickly and makes every single person around him more happy.. It’s not even the drinks which he makes perfect every time… It’s the one of a kind Bar Tender and amazing service❤

My absolute favorite place! Great food, drinks, music & vibes and all the bartenders are great, Nikki just so happened to show my girl a great time so big ups to her!! -Bri
