About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Hot spot
  • Neighbourhood gem
Nugent's Tavern is a throwback to everything a good old fashioned pub is supposed to be. A friendly atmosphere, a varied drink selection and delicious food combine to create a place where people make memories together. For nearly 9 decades, Nugent's has been the go to spot fro residents and visitors alike to meet in Elizabeth. On any given day, you'll find plumbers, doctors, tourists and bankers all sharing stories with each other at our bar.

Despite our tradition, we have adapted with the times. Our fine selection of whiskeys, bourbons and scotch includes more than 130 bottles. We have 20 beers on draft. Our menu was recently updated to include traditional Irish favorites like Irish pancakes, as well as fusion dishes like Irish nachos. We still have old favorites like our handmade Nugent's burger though!

For great company and a great time, stop by Nugent's Tavern!

    We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table. Everything was very good. We had the fried calamari, fried pickles, chicken fingers, and the pretzel with both sauces.

    It is sort of a dive bar. The wait staff was nice and the local patrons were friendly. A good place to go for a beer and burgers
