“lovely evening on the patio. Trevor was our server he was great. This was our first visit and not our last. Drinks were good and we loved the chicken lemongrass potstickers starter. I had the chili glazed salmon- delicious! Especially liked the rice too! Husband had ahi tacos - yummy!“

“As a member of the crew of an artist who has played Bottle & Cork several times, I can say that this venue and its staff are awesome to work with. The house is always packed with a great crowd. Go see a show here, you won't be disappointed!“

“Rusty Rudders is definitely THE spot to go to for nightlife in Dewey! This is my second year in a row coming here, and it never disappoints. The music is amazing, with two dance floors—live music outside and a DJ inside. The drinks are good, and the vibes are incredible. Huge shoutout to DJ Knappy for absolutely killing it! This place gets busy, but it’s definitely worth the $10 cover at night. If you’re looking for a great night out in Dewey, Rusty Rudders is the place to be!“

“Fun people good music! Had good drinks and food!“

“Wow, I was blown away by the fantastic "Not Your Average Pepperoni Pizza"! This pepperoni pizza had just the right spice for an amazing flavor. Very nice atmosphere, good beer, and wine selection for a perfect afternoon in Lewes. My wife also thoroughly enjoyed the smoked Margherita pizza. If you like pizza in a relaxing atmosphere, this is the place come. Stop by Half Full when you are in Lewes for an outstanding pizza.“

“Friendly staff. Attentive and quick at the bar. Clean bathrooms. Will go back for sure!!“

“My husband and I came here for a date night on Friday of seawitch weekend and it was AMAZING. Our server was soooo attentive and sweet. She also never ever made us feel rushed, she spent time answering all of our menu questions and chatting with us even though the restaurant was busy- she was able to be attentive to all her tables while still making us feel like she had time for us (I wish I could remember her name- you know who you are though!! You told me the story about the walnuts in the pesto situation ?) oh and the food. SO GOOD. She told us it's a "from scratch" kitchen and although we didn't have a long wait for our food, even if we did it would have been worth it. We had Moscow mules also which were delish. Definitely try this new place out!“

“Food was great and service was amazing. Kelsey was so nice and kept us coming back! Made my children and I feel very welcome. I highly recommend the Shirley Temples for the kids along with their quality kids menu and I loved the surf & turf quesadilla! Thank you Kelsey!“

“I hadn’t been to Lewes, DE since 1991-1992, so while exploring and seeing what has changed. I happened upon Irish Eyes Pub & Restaurant, which I learned opened in 1996. I never pass an opportunity for a pint or the traditional Irish meals an Irish pub offers. I was a bit concerned I might have to wait because the parking lot and streets were full. I walked in and was immediately seated. The inside is huge. Lots of seating. They were setting up for live music inside, so I opted for a table out on the deck and watch the sunset.
I ordered a pint of Guinness, portobello fries, and the corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Irish Eyes did not disappoint! The portobello mushroom fries were a hearty size. Easily could have been shared. It is no exaggeration that I had the absolute best corned beef and cabbage that I’ve ever tasted in numerous restaurants and pubs over the years. It was just fabulous. It is no wonder Irish eyes is celebrating 30 years here.
I was too full for desert, but was not rushed after my meal and was able to enjoy the atmosphere and live music for a bit. As I was leaving, I could see a lot of happy faces. People were talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves as one might expect. There were even a few who had taken to the dance floor in front of the live band.
This is definitely a place I recommend you visit if you’re looking for an Irish pub in the Lewes or Rehoboth beach area.

Parking: Although the parking lot and side street parking may be full, there will still be plenty of seating. Don’t be deterred, just find a spot somewhere and head on in.

Wheelchair accessibility: Irish eyes has a nice, gradual, switchback ramp that makes entry and exit to the pub and restaurant easy for everyone.“

“I went there shortly after it first opened, excellent burger.“

“Always great! The food was awesome, service was great and an amazing view!“
