Delaware is full of fine eateries, including many that are almost as historic as the state itself. The Hotel DuPont was once the most luxurious destination on the East Coast, and Jessop’s Tavern is located in a building older than the United States itself. One historic hotel and tavern has been a Newark landmark for nearly as long, and for generations, Delawareans have been arriving here for the tastiest bar food around.

The historic Deer Park Tavern was built in 1851, as a replacement for the circa 1747 St. Patrick’s Hotel, which burned down.
