Newark’s 1932 Krug’s Tavern Wooden Collectible Honors Jersey’s BEST

Krug’s Tavern, a shot and beer joint that’s survived through WW2, the Riots, and gentrification, the four generations continue the family legacy with this legendary New Jersey tavern. Now Krug’s has reached its 90th anniversary and the non-profit Mr. Local History Project honors this monumental achievement by introducing a new keepsake collectible of the tavern on wood to honor the 90 years serving New Jersey.
