20 Best Cocktail Bars near Lewes

“This place is a hidden gem and for me is a fail safe. I have never had a bad experience here or bad food or drink. Every interaction is pleasant, calm and it just feels like that local spot you wanna hang at. Thanks for being a Delaware blessing. You guys have made many a day better by just simply being apart of it! (Iced matcha latte pictured here and the chocolate cake was gone too quickly to photograph so I clearly hated it LOL).“

“We absolutely love lewes oyster house! It’s always one of our first picks down at the beach. The constantly fresh and changing chef specialties keep us on our toes with new options all the time! We’ve never had a bad meal! We always request Chelsea as our server as she’s such a bright and bubbly face who has wonderful menu suggestions! Very attentive and makes it a wonderful experience!“

“This place absolutely rips. We went to Matt’s for happy hour and it was too busy so we came here. Fantastic happy hour. All of the oysters were great, love the complimentary bread (always appreciated, never expected) and BLEU CHEESE STUFFED OLIVES IN MY HAPPY HOUR MARTINI?! Let’s go. Servers Marsalis and Olivia are awesome. Great service, great recommendations! The restaurant I used to work for in Manhattan could take a page out of their book. Don’t sleep on it. Can’t wait to come back for dinner.“

“1st time there Friday evening. Food prices seemed a little high. But the choices sounded delicious! Overall we will definitely go back but I hope they will work on their food delivery. Meaning, we ordered apps, salads and entrees and we kind of ended up getting all of our food at one time. As far as pricing, well when we saw the amount of food and their beautiful presentations, it was definitely worth it!! Will give it another try!“

“The food and cocktails are amazing! Kara is the absolute best! Thank you for making my special Grandson feel so comfortable in your restaurant. This is now his favorite restaurant in Rehoboth Beach! And he’s a 14 year old foodie….LOL!“

“What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday. The food and service were outstanding.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite before hitting the highway and heading home. Great atmosphere, delicious food. Top notch service! All around excellent“

“Consistently delicious every time we dine here! Occasionally the service can be a bit slow depending on how full the restaurant is, however it’s well paced and the wait staff is professional and kind. The tuna app is phenomenal! Perfect crunch from the crispy rice and the flavor is explosive! We also love the dumplings and pork belly bao buns! Crab rangoons are great but you only get 4. The ambience alone transcends you and you forget you’re in DE! Every time we’re here we visit!“

“We are in our fifties and were hopping around to several happy hours when we stopped here. Pretty cool vibe, but a little too dark for us, maybe that is the speakeasy atmosphere...Prices are a bit high for our taste. Our server Erycca was excellent, attentive to our needs but not bothersome. The Bavarian Pretzel Sticks were also excellent. The Redemption Old Fashioned was tasty, but the one large ice cube in the drink seemed to take up most of the glass. Nice place, just not our favorite.“

“We had a fantastic meal tonight with excellent service from Chris! This was our first time eating here but definitely not our last!“

“Went for the first time and it was delicious! Owner (or maybe manager) was so friendly. Our waitress was also really nice and helpful with helping us make our decisions. I would absolutely recommend and we will be going back soon!“

“Thank you Victoria and Philip for a really enjoyable experience! Lovely caviar!!! Lovely Vodka!!! Lovely meal !!! Look forward to coming back soon. An uber is a must so that I can try a little more “Russian Water”!!!“

“Amazingly consistently great food, the best happy hour at the beach and amazing staff. In the atrium, entertainment is excellent.“

“Simple.. if you want the best crab cakes you go to Woodys in Dewey Beach! However don't pass up on the rest of their offerings. Woodys has the food you want to eat in Dewey. Everything's wonderful. Their service team is excellent! May, takes excellent care of my family. My children make friends with everyone there, why's that? Because we always get treated like we are family! Excellet people and food. Thank you Woodys Dewey. JL“

“Loved our breakfast today … The Waffle Board … oh my! The chicken! This is on the must-go list every visit. Great service- great food- great drinks!“

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

“Incredible food prepared and served by incredible people in such a wonderful atmosphere. Try everything! And let Yuri pick the wine—you won’t be sorry.“

“Incredible atmosphere and ambience, perfect for a romantic night out. The dishes are flavorful, colorful and balanced to be pleasant yet impactful. 10/10 recommend!“

“They need to redo the Dewey one. It is terrible atmosphere, hot the air never works, moldy ceiling tiles and water stains. Just looks dirty. Love the staff though, especially Molly and pizza“

“My husband and I went last night and everything about the meal was amazing. The food was incredible. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were so friendly and attentive. I had the white sangria and my husband had a margarita and both were perfect drinks (and my husband is not a margarita guy 😂.). We will definitely be back.“
