Bars in Newark

Deer Park Tavern is one of America's oldest continually operating college bars — a Main Street Newark institution since the 1800s that has served University of Delaware students and faculty for generations, with Edgar Allan Poe among its historically documented patrons. Today the landmark tavern offers craft beer, live music on weekends, and the comfortable worn-in atmosphere of a bar that has seen more than two centuries of Delaware social history.

Iron Hill Brewery is the Mid-Atlantic's most beloved chain of craft brewpubs — founded in Newark, Delaware in 1996, it has won more Great American Beer Festival medals than any other brewpub in America. Iron Hill's extraordinary craft brewing quality and its remarkable Delaware founding heritage create a brewpub experience of genuine American craft beer significance.
