34 Best Bars near Lewes

“Small restaurant in Lewes that seems to be very popular. The variety of pizzas to choose was good and our custom made pizza with pine nuts, pesto, tomatoes and chicken was delicious. The crust is so good! You order at counter and food is delivered. Wine per glass was higher priced in my opinion, but did not deter me. Be prepared to be cozy with others when they are busy. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed the pizza and experience.“

Size, energy, options, character reminds me of the Lobster House in Cape May, but with better pricing and more of a beach town casual/fun vibe.

CONS
Not for super dressy formality (not really a con unless that's what you're looking for).
Loud
Indoors can smell a little musty
Swag shop is expensive...my opinion, sell at just over cost...it's free advertising!“

“I Must give Kudos mention about our server Abby who was so friendly and attentive. She knew what to suggest and drinks and food were P e r f e c t. 🥰 and took the time to get our picture as well at the endings end. thank you all!“

“I had the grilled salmon tonight and it was excellent!! Served over a mix of pearl pasta, cheese, mushrooms and leeks. Couldn’t have asked for a tastier meal. Will go back again soon. Service and atmosphere was very good as well.“

“Salads were good. Waitress was great, hostess was nasty. Shrimp was just okay, but the lobster roll turned me off of lobster rolls for a while. Had a fishier taste than fish! Tasted nothing like lobster, and served with that nasty warm oil, not butter.“

“PET FRIENDLY establishment! Had an amazing dinner with our whole fur family. They served our dogs water and grilled chicken. We had the Salmon BLT, scallops, and a burger. Everyone was very happy. Best dog friendly dining experience of my life.“

“We picked this on a whim for lunch and ended up being one of the best meals the whole trip! Our waitress was super friendly, the service was quick, and all of us loved our meals. The fries were bussin, their ketchup was good, and the drinks stayed filled 🤌🏻 10/10 would recommend.“

“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!“

“The atmosphere and customer service were perfection. We highly recommend you visit this beautiful spot where the ocean and the bay meet on the East Coast at the DE State Park. Whether you’re staying in Ocean City, MD or in Delaware at Fenwick, Dewey, Bethany, or Rehoboth, it’s a must see. We hope you enjoy! 🌊💙“

“Came through with the Irreverent Warriors hike on 9-20 and the staff was amazing and accommodating with us and made our stop there enjoyable.“

“This place was awesome and our server was so sweet and it was lovely talking to him. The food was amazing. I had the chicken alfredo which was the best I've had in such a long time. And my son had a plain cheese pizza which he said is the best pizza he's ever eaten. There's a bar. There's the restaurant. There's a carryout pizza area. It's right along the main road. A little bit of parking but you're better off walking, especially in the busy season.“

“Good crowd fun time live music Pamela Stanley (70's singer) doing a great job on a variety of hit songs & some of her own...at 73 she was Excellent long sets of good tunes. The crowd seemed to be into the music, good drinks good times. There is a food truck there, but, I did not check it out.“

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

“What a wonderful meal this evening. I totally recommend this spot. We’re locals down here and need seafood comp this place.“

“it is one of the best experiences u could have. Great staff great food all around just awesome“

“Went out with my husband for dinner and had one of the best meals I have EVER had!!! Amazing food, drinks and awesome staff!!!“

“Casual but gourmet food. My husband loved his steak-frites and salad. I had the crabcakes with absolutely perfect coleslaw (fresh, with light mayo dressing and plenty of citrus) - even comes with a side — I chose roasted Brussels sprouts which were excellent. No room for dessert but we’ve been to Rigby’s in the past for drinks, and I’ve gotten a slice of their key lime pie or their cheesecake with raspberry coulis — both homemade by John, I was told, and both superb. Server was a lovely, attentive young woman. There are some incredible winter food specials this time of year — prime rib, I think on Friday nights, for example. Rigby’s is unusual in offering specials even on weekends in the off-season so check it out before busy springtime hits.“

“Great atmosphere and music! The food is really top notch and the Nalu team really knows hospitality! Great easy Dewey hangout.“

“Came in a few nights ago to get drinks with one of my friends after work. The bartender that took care of us was maddie and she did an amazing job hand crafting our cocktails. I wasn't sure what to order since they have so many cocktails to chose from but maddie was very knowledgeable and able to recommend the drink pictured below (cant remember the name 🤦🏼‍♀️). The drink, atmosphere, and service was definitely a 10/10. Will definitely be making this a new go to spot!“

“Fantastic food at a great price and sizzle hot plates to keep food warm We will be back 👍👍“

“We decided on pizza for a windy Monday evening , and took a ride through Rehobeth, and decided to try Crust & Craft. We were not disappointed! The absolute best wood fired gourmet pizza we’ve had all summer! We decided on the Grandma pie, with a few toppings. The mixture of fresh crushed tomatoes, basil, and cheeses were perfect. A thick crust that was perfect! A dinner for two, and we will definitely make this a regular stop! Highly recommended! And our wait staff were awesome! A must visit!“

“Happy hour drink specials and 1/2 price apps, freshly prepared and not frozen. We were in for the burger night special, not only a great value but delish! Very attentive table service, overall a great experience!“

“In town for lacrosse tournament and had our team dinner meet up here. Our bartender, server Fluffy was the best, food was great, drinks cold and live music was perfect.“

“Shout out to LEA - the host with the MOST! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was inviting and relaxed. The space felt comfortable and casual—perfect for a lunch or early dinner after some beach time. The staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. Cheesesteak was great!“

“Delish loved the servers and bartenders great food“

“Amazing dinner and best Manhattan ever!! Great service and we definitely recommend for a very special night out.“

“Hadn't been there in years. Worked there one summer - years ago! Frankly, it hasn't changed a whole lot! I did know a lot of well known artists had played there, but had no idea so many and who they are. Check out the wall with all the names. Worth a trip there just to see that. Cooper Alan was great.“

“The bartenders were amazing. The food was okay. The fish isn’t fresh and the oil they used was definitely old. I asked if it was fresh and he said yes. That is why I ordered what I ordered.
It came out dark and real greasy. The fruit platter was huge and delicious. The flatbread was good. The tortilla chips were stale. Not sure why they would serve them. The server was very laid back, nice but needed a reminder of why he was there. He had to be flagged down and it wasn’t busy. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was awesome. Great music.“

“I came for dinner and ordered the fresh tuna and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. The cucumber sauce was a nice touch and the vegetables were crisp and not saturated with oils or butter. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and I will be back.“

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

“Tonight we dined at the Crab House and had Lila as our waitress. She was polite and we received amazing service! We will continue to dine here each summer during our vacation. The food was excellent! Especially the Lobster Roll!“
