Adega is where you want to be. Maybe a 10 minute walk from Penn.

Bello’s is the closest bar to the station. It’s a commuter bar. Decent food and good beer selection.

Burke’s is new and wants to be the hipster bar but it’s lacking a crowd yet. I really like it though.

Bar Vanquish is like THE downtown bar for Black professionals in Newark right now.

Mompou is good for tapas. Small bar area.

If you want to try to meet girls, Adega, Manu, Little Tijuana, Lit 21.
