Yesterday's Pub — Restaurant in Ohio

Yesterday's Pub

Decor is vintage, and done very nicely, everything in the pub is old but in good working order, down to the doorknobs to the restrooms, If you are like me all of that real vintage decor will set a mood similar to an earlier time in life when things were good and simple. That's not to say that this is low grade in any way. Don't dress like a bum, this ain't no greasy spoon.

The service is sort of part of the overall experience, the owners are vintage just like the pub, so expect good old fashioned greetings and some nice small talk. Don't expect or compare this place with a corporate casual dining place or any fast food place, this is not that. Here you get drinks and chat for a while, appetizers come out, maybe another round of drinks and more talk. This is laid back casual dining, nobody is rushing you, and everything is cooked to order and is gonna take a while. This is not a bad thing if you are with friends, order more drinks and continue the conversation.

Prices are reasonable, menus are clear. Specials are written on the blackboard as you come in, or don't worry, they will go over them again at the table if you missed them.

Bathrooms are clean, well lit, in good working order and vintage as well. It works as part of the charm.

Food is good, appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches and meals were all decent size and very tasty. Everything came out good and hot, so well worth the few minutes of extra wait time. Everyone enjoyed what they had ordered. The coffee is fresh, yes, they even have whole milk if you want, I know of no other eating place in the Newark/Heath area that does, so I was impressed. They have a full bar and beer menu. This is good home made food, Good job.

Of note is that they seem to have many diabetic customers and cater to them, their sweet tea is made with artificial sweetener and served in carafes on the table. If you prefer real sugar , no worries, sugar and a spoon gets it done.

Overall I enjoyed the dining experience provided and certainly recommend Yesterday's Pub to anyone who is not in a hurry and has the time to relax and eat casually. They won't rush you and the atmosphere is very...

Stumbled upon this unassuming restaurant last week. Have eaten there twice since. Great food, friendly service & nostalgic environment.

What seems like just a little ranch house with white siding is a cover for the blast back in time once you enter the front door. Impressive, massive, beautiful antique bar greets you. Vintage & antique kitschy decor scattered on the walls and bar kept me entertained just looking at every nook and cranny. The dining room with bentwood chairs with red & white checkered tablecloths remind me of the original Buddy ‘s Pizza in Detroit.

Now on to the food- The awesome burger truly is awesome. Cooked perfectly and full of toppings. We were fortunate enough to get the last order of crab cakes & they did not disappoint! HUGE chunks of crab & absolutely delicious. Rueben sandwich had shaved corned beef vs giant thick slices which I loved. Homemade Clam chowder is the best I’ve ever had. You can taste the love it’s made with & I bet it’s a 100 year old recipe it’s that good. Can’t wait to go back and try the French onion soup everyone...

We use to love and visit this place often ,but just tried to go there and had the worst service ! Walked in and stood while two female employees just stared at us for a good ten mins. They finally decided to get motivated enough to move and told us that it would be a 45 min wait because they don't have any more tables. Funny thing was on the front room there was another couple eating at a table and we're four tables in that same room. Also there was a total of four cars in the parking lot. Very frustrating when it just seems like people don't want to do their jobs and we had to get kids out of car seats just to get major attitude. Don't think we will be back. It's a shame they have good food and usually have a very friendly gentleman helping people coming in but these lady's were...
