A landmark Main Street pub with a history stretching back to 1851, the Deer Park Tavern is best known as the place where Edgar Allan Poe reportedly drank during his travels through the region. Whether or not Poe's ghost still haunts the place is a matter of local debate, but the tavern is a genuine piece of Newark history. It functions today as a straightforward pub and live music venue, worth a visit as much for the atmosphere and the story as for the drinks.
