In the 4 years that I've been a member, I enjoyed being there every time. I've met some many new friends and I have fun with them at karaoke.“

“Su comida!!!! Su hospitalidad, su buen servicio!!!“

“First time visit, love the live music, atmosphere, salad bar and pizza oven. Can’t wait to come back and try the goat cheese and peaches pizza!“

“I went for a goth night event and had a great time. Excellent bar service, DJ was good too! There's also a food truck. There was a lot of focus on S&M stuff, which is not my thing, and kind of overpowered the club. But to each their own 🤷‍♀️“

“Wonderful atmosphere, great food & the music moves you! Check out this venue…stellar!“

“Great place to hang with a small group and enjoy a good drink“

“Named as one of the top dive bars in the country, Murph's is a bit less ragged and run down and a step up from some of the dives I've been in. It's clean, tastefully decorated, and spacious. You can immediately tell that this is a neighborhood bar, where the locals are all familiar with one another. There is ample space for pool, and the 360 degree wrap-around bar is a great touch. We only came in for beer, and I can report back that the draft beer is quite cold!“

“Amazing experience at Hideaway! Patrick was our server, he was exceptional with his customer service, very friendly and attentive! This place never disappoints, we love the food but the service this time was on point and by far the best we have ever had hands down! Thank you Patrick for your services, much appreciated!“

“Must stop in for a cold one“

“It’s the night before Christmas. My family just went through a traumatic experience and had enough. My husband and I searched everywhere for a bar. This bar was the only bar open for miles. The bar tender was very friendly. Served me a double of what I needed to forget my troubles. They don’t serve food though. But that’s ok.“

If you're not looking to dress up but just want to go grab a drink and relax, this is the place. The signs all over will have you in stitches . The restrooms are clean and beer is always cold!! I could hang here all day.“

“The bartender Chloe (apologies for possible misspelling) is an absolute wonder. She is kind, funny, and remembers customers as well as their drinks. Awesome place!“

“Small neighborhood bar with big heart and community love. Event space and outdoor patio bar with smokers lounge. If you like oldies don’t miss 1st Saturdays, if you like karaoke come on Monday night 7pm, if you like it gritty in the city hit it up on Thursday night. If you just want a laid back dive bar for a heavy drink for the low, there’s no other in the city with a better pour. STAMP.“

“Everything we had was high quality, delicious, and very affordable. Started off with the Buffalo Chicken Tots for the table and they were devoured in seconds. We had the Philly Dog, a Chicken Cheesesteak, Triple Decker BLT, and the Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and we were all very happy with our sandwiches!“

“Great food at a great price!! Go often!!“

“spending time with my Uncle“

“My first experience here about 7 years ago was terrible! The bartender made me not want to come back. I somehow ended up here with my mom and brother. It was a totally different experience. Everyone was nice and welcoming , Customers and employees. The bartender (I think his name was Joe) was very attentive. The nice lady trying to get us to do karaoke was a whole vibe! Amazing personality! I'm happy I gave this place another chance! As a fellow bartender , I genuinely enjoy the hospital we received tonight! We will be coming back! 😁“

“came here out of no where sat down to have a drink with my love. the bartender was amazing and the food just as amazing. I highly recommend if you are in the area stop by.“

“Cold beer and good food 😊. the staff is great.“

“This is such a cute space. Its seat yourself and first come first serve. The service can be iffy depending on how crowded it is. And the menu is smaller in the beer garden. Limted to certain pizzas, some pasta, salad, appetizers. But the food is good and the drinks are good. Not great for large parties of people. Id say best for up to 4 people.“

“Small place, bartender Renee (think that’s her name) very sweet made me feel welcome as it was my first time the drinks are nice prices the rice and beans were mushy but that’s fine cause the seasoning was good and the curry chicken the curry flavor wasn’t there .. I’ll be back soon tho lol“

“Stopped in to get a cold wind blows in the area so I would have one beer and leave but it turned out I stopped it had more than 1 good thing I was not driving is nice place to be good people to talk to nice atmosphere and cold beer definitely would recommend this place“

“Walking into this Trolley Square gem feels like a warm embrace! From the moment we stepped inside, the welcoming presence of Jacquline, our host, guided us to a comfortable table tucked away in the back. Her genuine friendliness set the perfect tone. Shortly after, the delightful Katie became our server, her pleasant demeanor immediately putting us at ease and smoothly starting our culinary journey. The menu boasted a tempting array of options, and we eagerly chose the kale Caesar, cornbread, and brisket mac and cheese to begin. Oh my goodness – each starter was an absolute revelation! For our main courses, my wife savored the delicate lamb gnocchi, while I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked salmon. Neither dish disappointed; they were both executed flawlessly. A thoughtful touch was Katie finding me a delicious non-alcoholic beer, a real treat since I don't drink. To conclude our exceptional meal, we shared a lemon pound cake that was simply divine. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this wonderful spot in Trolley Square. Everything, from the ambiance to the exquisite food and the extraordinary service, was truly on point.“

“My go to place for Wings and adult beverages“

“went there tonight for the first time in a long time and the cheese steak was amazing. Like I need to go there more often for the food!“

“My sister and Fiancé usually go Suite 4 Eleven for date night. One particular Saturday she asked me to go with them so they could see if this would be a great place to hold their after party for the wedding. Needless to say we will be booking a section in September for after the wedding. This is our new hangout spot. The DJ,food,hookah and professionalism of the staff is what absolutely sold it for us!“

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

“Nice spot. In the area for work and stopped in for a few drinks after a long day. Tim was my bartender and he clearly understands the assignment on what a good bartender should be. He was attentive, efficient, friendly, and makes great drinks! Will definitely stop back here if I’m ever in the area. 10/10 service.“

“Stop there to with my whistle one day at take a break from a long drive place was your normal neighborhood bar. The bartender was very friendly she was quick and seemed to know what she was doing I guess if I was a local I would definitely go back there“

“Absolutely delicious! Service was amazing!“

“I was invited by a friend on a Tuesday evening, and there was a birthday party going on, so there wasn't any food being sold, don't really know if they still did? The birthday patry people provided the food and allowed everyone to have some, which was so nice. There was a DJ named DJ Cuzzin Pete who was jammin! It's hard to get guys to dance with you in Delaware. I don't know why? Pretty small place. There is a pool table and a nice sized dance floor. The mixed drinks were good.“
