21 Best Cocktail Bars near Lewes

“we had a very good dinner last night, and not our first time. Yummy cocktails and entrees. I thought the butternut squash/crab soup was a bit spicy, which surprised me. We have enjoyed all our visits.“

“Our first time stopping at Greenman and we will be back regularly. It was recommended to us and it really is a hidden gem. The smoothies are delicious and filling and the waffle breakfast sandwich was huge. Staff are so wonderful and helpful as well!“

“I recently attended a wedding service and reception in the function room of Fish On. Due to a storm the wedding had to be moved in doors at the last minute. The manager and staff of Fish On went out of their way to assist and make sure the day was a huge success.\nThe food served from hors d'oeuvres to starters, mains and deserts was beautifully presented, and most delicious. The service was attentive without be intrusive. I understand the cost was extremely reasonable for what was provided.\nI would like to specifically compliment the staff who worked the function room. They were friendly, knowledgable, helpful, attentive and kind. \nI highly recommend Fish On if you are in the Lewes area. The food is superb, the ambiance inviting, and the staff excellent.“

“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!“

“Another fine meal at Drift. This time celebrating our anniversary, but this is not just a special occasion place. Our fourth visit didn’t disappoint. We shared the inventive and delicious mushroom yakatori, the luscious roasted carrot panzanella, and the never-to-be-missed ribeye with Diane sauce, roasted mushrooms and baby potatoes. Every bite and sip of cocktails and wine was simply delicious!“

“Our group of 13 went to shore break lodge for dinner prior to the Rehoboth Marathon. We loved the service, atmosphere and food! Thank you for accommodating our large group as not all places are group friendly! We will be back.“

“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!“

“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“

“I can’t say enough about The Local Bootlegging Company… honestly, where do I even start? The atmosphere is a whole mood — warm, happy, inviting, a touch romantic, and overflowing with good vibes. The staff? Fabulous, like they were handpicked by the hospitality gods. The food and cocktails? So good they should probably come with a “may cause obsession” disclaimer. The music and energy? Impeccable. Chef’s kiss. The location is prime, and the parking? Listen — it likes to pretend it’s mysterious, but it’s actually totally manageable. Not stealth, not stressful — just casually tucked away like it’s playing hard to get. If you can find your sunglasses on your head, trust me, you can find the parking lot. If you’re in Rehoboth and don’t stop here… I’m not saying it’s a tragic mistake, but it’s definitely a bold choice. Get yourself in there and treat your taste buds to their new favorite place! ✨❤️✨“

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

“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!“

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

“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”!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Ate here frequently while staying in the hotel. The food varies in quality but you can’t beat the convenience and prices. The wings were just wings, hard fried with buffalo and ranch. Nothing special. The smash burger had potential but was comically dry. The cheese steak was good and meaty.

The fries are the star of the show here. I’ve never had French fries like this. They’re spiral-ish shaped cut from the whole potato. Sorta like wedges but bigger. Every order is overflowing.“

“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.“
