Yesterday's Pub

Stumbled upon this unassuming restaurant last week. Have eaten there twice since. Great food, friendly service & nostalgic environment.

What seems like just a little ranch house with white siding is a cover for the blast back in time once you enter the front door. Impressive, massive, beautiful antique bar greets you. Vintage & antique kitschy decor scattered on the walls and bar kept me entertained just looking at every nook and cranny. The dining room with bentwood chairs with red & white checkered tablecloths remind me of the original Buddy ‘s Pizza in Detroit.

Now on to the food- The awesome burger truly is awesome. Cooked perfectly and full of toppings. We were fortunate enough to get the last order of crab cakes & they did not disappoint! HUGE chunks of crab & absolutely delicious. Rueben sandwich had shaved corned beef vs giant thick slices which I loved. Homemade Clam chowder is the best I’ve ever had. You can taste the love it’s made with & I bet it’s a 100 year old recipe it’s that good. Can’t wait to go back and try the French onion soup everyone raves about.

Great local spot. We came with family who had been dying to show us the spot. I loved the atmosphere, its full of art and tchotchkes from the decades it's been around, red leather booths, stained glass lamp shades, and a table only for chess players. As if the atmosphere wasn't enough the drinks are tall and stiff, the husband and wife team are delightful, and the menu is full of comforting classics executed very well. Can't recommend this place enough.

Don't be scared off by the looks of this little hole in the wall. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Super friendly staff we will definitely be back.

Best little family restaurant in Newark. The staff was attentive, the decorations were great and the food was delicious and tasty. I had the ham and bean soup w cornbread. The beans were seasoned perfectly and had lots of ham. I had the bread pudding w cream sauce. It was amazing, just perfect. I was told it was a 100 year old recipe handed down through the generations. My friends had the pork chops. They were seasoned perfectly. So tender, you can cut it with a table knife. They had the peanut butter pie after dinner. I was told it was the best pie they've ever had in their life ❤
After New Years, they close down for a few months.
I can't wait for the reopening. I'll definitely be back. 😊❤

This is a classic, unique hometown place. The home-cooked meals are truly amazing, and the service even better. The atmosphere completes the perfect dinner with nostalgic items dating back to original owners.

I live in chicago and my family has always loved liver and onions. my mother made a wonderful version and after her death my father and I sought out every liver and onions special in the western suburbs and beyond! so imagine my surprise when I came upon this charming little place in Ohio on a Wednesday with a liver and onions special.It was the best I've ever had! get the two piece (you'll kick yourself later if you don't!). Plus, it is a gorgeous space. google it.

This is a great restaurant. The menu is simple and the food is delicious. I had a steak and my wife had the crab cakes. Both were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is really great. Can't wait to come back again.

Came here for dinner with four coworkers and the service and food was great! We each ordered something different and everything, even dessert, was (or seemed to be) homemade, and was delicious. We called ahead to make reservations, got there a little after 6, took a little time to decide what to order, got our food, plus dessert, and paid by 7:30. Also, I should note that I'm funny about cleanliness, and they seemed very clean. I recommend supporting this local family owed restaurant!

Just tried Yesterday's Pub for the first time. Great little restaurant! Kay and Dave are wonderful! There's a lot to take in so add some time to your schedule. Highly recommend the Mudslide cocktail, potato skins appetizer, grilled grouper, and pork chops. We will definitely be back!

We found Yesterday's Pub sort of by accident.

We'll now be lifelong patrons.

Absolutely wonderful food. Excellent service.

We look forward to each time we can make it to Newark and enjoy a meal there!

Good food, nice staff, took friends to have home cooked food and they enjoyed it too. We sat and talked awhile and were made to feel very welcome!! My dad went there 60years ago and always liked the bar as it's original 😁

Yesterdays Pub is the best kept secret in Newark Ohio. The food speaks for itself....fantastic!! The service is the best. And to top it off, the chef always comes to your table to check on you....when is the last time you had that experience? Old time classy atmosphere, and I know I can throw out the craziest drink from my snobby bartending past...and NICK will NAIL it!! I'm tired of being chained to the chains. I like to keep my money local where everything is better than expected, not the norm. I invite you to visit Yesterday's Pub where good times and good food are always on the menu.

Delicious food in a small setting. The facility also has room for larger groups. There is a significant focus on the past, with many of the wall dressings reflecting historical mannerisms. Overall a great restaurant!

My husband and I hadn't been in years but stopped last week while in Newark after a marathon appliance shopping day. We were both exhausted and Yesterday's was just what we needed. First, we were warmly greeted and had EXCELLENT cocktails. My husband ordered the walleye prefaced by a bowl of soup. I was pleasantly surprised by the crab cakes being offered even though they weren't normally on menu that day. Both of our meal were cooked to perfection and I took a crab cake home for lunch the next day. Great experience all around.

The pork chops were excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. Everyone was kind and welcoming, and made my first visit feel very inviting. I will be coming back soon!

Great quaint place! Love the decor with a sense of humor. Food = Phenomenal. Homemade Cheesecake & Bread pudding. A must visit in Newark

Wonderful place. Food was great, service was great. A must experience. We will be back soon-our new local favorite.

I had the smoked salmon tonight with the butter broccoli and they're pickled beets and several Manhattan's made by Kay and it was so good!
