23 Best Pubs near Hockessin

“I’ve probably been to this restaurant 100 times. Not all visits are perfect, which nobody should expect at any restaurant. That said, it is clear they are constantly looking for ways to improve/maintain the food offerings, service and atmosphere.

The recent tweak to the taco Tuesday specials made it more appealing to us- with very affordable add-ons and drink specials and no longer having a minimum order size to take advantage of a reduced price per taco.

The main reason I was compelled to leave this review was our experience last night when we came in for dinner on date night without our kid. My wife ordered their Steak special entree which came with rapini, carrots and potatoes. Portion size was generous, but the taste and quality was outstanding. Would have been pleased to receive this exact dish at a high end steakhouse in Philly.

We most frequently pop in for a quick snack and drink but after such an impressive meal, we will add this to our rotation for date night meals.

Thank you.“

“Living in Delaware my whole life I had never been to Logan house. First visit I had a delicious mushroom soup and chicken cheesesteak.
Food was tasty and server was great.

Went back a few weeks later to catch the Monday night football game since I don’t have cable. I got the burger special with fries for something like $10, burger was amazing. Bartender and manager on duty were friendly as we chatted about the game.
Will definitely go back“

“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.“

“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!“

“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?“

“Babes and I went here this past Friday for the Beef Wellington. They offer it as a special only on the fourth week of the month. Let’s just say it did not disappoint. Exactly what you would want it to be. Melt in your mouth, no real knife needed ?.
Also had the Brussels sprouts- fried hard. Yum. Crispy in every single layer with a nice kick of maple!
We sat out on the patio, our server was a joy. She had a great personality- wish I could remember her name to shout her out.
My only true complaint is the obnoxious table beside us that had no table manners. Belching left and right, cackling the whole time. Clearly they had too much fun and forgot about their surroundings. Patio was just not this kind of atmosphere. Had they been in the bar/at the bar it would have been more understandable.

Nonetheless, the Brussels sprouts and the Wellington is a must try! They also had one of babes favorite beer!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love this place. The food is incredible - much higher quality and attention to detail and ingredients than you'd probably expect from a strip mall pub (once inside, you forget about the strip mall aspect). Will very definitely eat there again (the fried Brussels sprouts are HEAVEN) when I'm in or near Kennett Square.“

“To be honest, I didn't *want* to like this place. Yes, every bar and restaurant has their own 'personality', but I have been to two other McGlynn's locations and just didn't like it. However, this place is just great. The staff is excellent, the building is good, the crowd is comfortable, the menu is excellent, and the drinks are fun and exciting (I forget their name for them, but try the smoky bourbon drink and the cherry bourbon drink. They are both awesome!) The food is also good. It's typical bar food, but good. Try the prime rib. It's the best I've had in quite a while. They have it on special one night of the week (Tuesday?), and it's expensive, but worth it, even if just to treat yourself once.
To try to get balanced, the only negative I can call out is Eagles game day. The acoustics in the building are terrible, they're overcrowded, too loud and their bar and wait staff seemed grossly overwhelmed.
Also check out happy hour outside on their patio on a nice evening. Just a GREAT night out.“

“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.“

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

“I’m glad to have the chance to post about our comfortable booth and delicious dinner At Chadds Ford Tavern. First, our server, Leo, welcomed us to our first time dining here. He was attentive to our table and gave thoughtful meal recommendations. A lucky find after an afternoon of trekking through the pavilions at Longwood Gardens. My eggplant parm and his fish and chips were very good. The appetizer, tomato/basil pesto flat bread, came out quickly. Crust was just right with crips edges and perfect topping. The decor is true tavern, warm and inviting. Good selection of beers, and ample wine list. This was the perfect spot to warm up on a very cold day. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“I was searching for a karaoke spot on a Thursday night. After calling about 8 different places, I found this one and had driven 40 min to Christiana pub. Didn't look too promising outside at first, but when I entered the girl that was singing Tennessee Whiskey was phenomenal and the good vibes were most definitely there. Place was clean and locals were very friendly (no weirdos lol) and everyone was having a great time. My only complaint is the bartender Lexi was very rude when I entered and also when I went to get a drink. As a former bartender and server of 8 years, and as a first time customer, had it not been for the dj and the locals I might not have come back based on her initial attitude towards me. Other bartender (didnt get her name) was attentive and more relaxed as she was working. My suggestion is that every person who walks in the door is a paying customer and should be made to feel welcomed. Other than that, great time great drinks, great crowd, would still recommend 👌“

“Small location for the licals to hang out and shoot pool.They don't serve food (maybe they did in the past?). But they allow you to bring food in. Bartenders are great with outgoing personalities (twin sisters).Great place to grab drink with buddies.“

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

“It's got pool tables, if you like to shoot, the staff is friendly -ish. It's a good atmosphere. A couple of the bartenders are okay, they are kind of slow and not very customer service friendly, but other than that I don't have any issues here and everyone seems pretty laid back.“

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

“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.“

“The food never disappoints. We always stop on our way to Longwood Gardens. I would give them a 10. If you like a fun and great wait person, ask for Serene, wonderful service.“

“Great service! Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Recently had my engagement party here with family and friends. The owners and staff were extremely helpful and accomadating of our party. We had salad, pasta, and pizza - all of the food and beer was great! Happy to have had them as a part of my fiance and I special day.“
