19 Best Pubs near Bear

“What’s not to love?!? Great food great people, amazing bartenders it’s a home away from home!!“

“Kelly’s Logan House is hands down one of the best spots in Wilmington. The food is great, especially the wings — they’re honestly incredible, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The rest of the menu is solid too, with plenty of good options beyond typical bar food.

What really makes it stand out is the late-night scene. Whether it’s live music, DJs, or just the energy of the crowd, it’s always a fun vibe without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of lively and laid-back.

I also really appreciate that it feels safe. The staff do a good job of keeping things comfortable, and it’s the kind of place you can go with friends and just enjoy yourself without worry.

If you’re in Wilmington and looking for good food, great wings, and a fun night out, Kelly’s Logan House is a must.“

“We stopped in to Two Stones Pub at Kennett Sq after visiting Longwood Gardens. What a wonderful experience! The service was friendly and helpful and the food and craft beers were exceptional! The mushroom soup was the best we've ever had. Wish you had a location in Ft Myers FL!!! Thanks again!“

“First time I came here, I was a little nervous, but the regulars are super friendly and the bartender is great!! I went there to read, and while I did get a lot done, it was great talking to the regulars.“

“The pizza is perfectly cooked-/crisp and tasty!! I had the mushroom, goat cheese and arugula with balsamic glaze —so good!!! My husband had a cheesesteak Stromboli and it was yummy!! Service was excellent and its a great place to watch a game!! We will definitely be back?“

“I love the chicken sandwich here. It was so good they used to have a key lime pie drink. I wish they would bring that back. That was amazing! I love the atmosphere here and I enjoy the bartenders they talk to you. They're considerate and pay attention to when you need a new drink that's for sure!! Love that!!!“

“My friend and I took a girls road trip today and ended up in New Castle. We decided to try Jessop's Tavern for lunch and absolutely loved it. Friendly warm atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious lunch! So glad we decided to stop in. We will definitely be back!“

“Went here Wednesday sept 25 for a meal after a funeral at 3p. Bar was busy tables really were not. We ordered wings to share and they were ok however for the price the wings were small and very few. I had a chicken sandwich and requeated the cole slaw and jalapeno on the side. Thank goodness the cole slaw was not very good. The chicken was good. For $2 more I upgraded to sweet potatoe fries and the portion was tiny. My friend enjoyed her onion soup. The other guest liked their burger. There were good drink specials. The decor was nice and had been renovated. Waitress was ok. It was a decent meal just was hoping for better.

Parking: Big easy lot pull up and head on in“

“I like when Larry hugs me and when a crowd gathers around me at the foosball table because I'm so good.“

“Best dive bar around with fantastic bartenders and great food!“

“Noel is an excellent bartender! Super personable and on point with making the drinks 🍹“

“We went out for St Patrick’s Day festivities, and to watch Dickens & Ballsworth. Our first time at Finnegan’s and we will be back!“

“A dope dive bar where a lot of different folk come together to forget about the outside world and have a few drinks over a game or two of pool. There’s tons of bar space and table seating which makes the walkway quite skinny, so be prepared to be bumping shoulders and hips with the patrons all night. Honestly the back wall being full of TVs is kind of hilarious and doesn’t fit the vibe but who cares. Didn’t get the bartender’s name with the tattoos but that guy was really cool. Bring the lads here.“

“Pretty standard pub food but well-executed. We came for their appetizers, which are especially good. The french onion soup was delicious. We also enjoyed the apple salad. We didn't order alcohol (it was like 2:30 PM , and we're not big drinkers).

Our meal ended up being a bit more expensive because we ordered four apps and split one entree, but it was a tasty and relaxing late lunch.

Service was great. The wait staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful, without being intrusive. We had a ton of little plates on the table to shuffle. They helped us manage it, bussed dishes quickly to make more space for us as we finished them, and were quick with drink refills.“

“Rob!!! Saved the day, I got here, alot went wrong. I wanted cheese steak egg rolls, for one, and kitchen was closed;( but Rob saves the day!! He's awesome! Seriously if not for him, I'd not come back after tonight. But because of him, I can't wait to come back!!!! Please recognize him, as the asset he is!! Thank you Rob, YOU ROCK!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!“

“atmosphere, reasonable drink prices and the owner is handsome 😊“

“Great service! Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Great food! Great local pub. Very welcoming atmosphere. Staff were friendly and likeable. Buffalo chicken tenders and burgers were amazing. Salad was generous and fresh. We picked this pub randomly because of the name (!) And good reviews. Small parking lot on-site designated for patrons, which is very convenient on this busy street. I would highly recommend stopping in for good food and drinks.“

“In town for event and was told to try the pizza. We ordered beers and Pete was able to be our server. Very nice and will do anything for your visit. Great service great pizza. Will return to try other things on the menu, cheese steaks, burgers, club sandwich all looked amazing. Do not hesitate to stop in for a beer and a pizza. Well worth the stop. Thanks Pete.“
