Bear Tavern Pub


609-583-4598

Bear Tavern Pub, a cozy and unpretentious establishment in Ewing Township, New Jersey, invites locals and visitors alike to gather and create unforgettable experiences. Immerse yourself in the pub’s warm and convivial atmosphere, where dim lighting, the hum of classic rock music, and time-honored wooden barstools create a sense of comfort and ease. Indulge in their classic pub fare, from juicy burgers and crispy fish and chips to their legendary loaded nachos, perfect for sharing but often savored individually. Behind the bar, explore a rotating selection of craft beers alongside trusted domestic brews, or let the skilled bartender craft a mean Old Fashioned or pour you a generous whiskey, neat.
