The pub is named after a New York City gangster who was assassinated in Newark, next door to what is now the Tryp by Wyndham Newark. Opened in April 2018, Dutch’s Gastropub is outfitted in modern, but casual décor with 1930’s era black and white photos of the venue’s namesake, Dutch Schultz. The lunch menu has options like buffalo chicken wings; margarita flatbread pizza; smoked salmon; and organic sweet potato fries. Brass fixtures; poppy colors; and modern takes on Roman busts complete the dining experience.
