20 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.“

“Great little shop. Super accommodating with dietary restrictions and taste wishes. Fun atmosphere, quirky decor, clean. Prices are very decent and the owner and his staff are lovely. The gluten free bread is fantastic. They also make juices and smoothies and coffee drinks that sound delectable. I had a juice with ingredients I selected and there was no upcharge. Several tables and window adjacent high chair for a sit down meal. Lots of options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian. Everything is made to order. My to go order Garden sandwich on gluten free bread with vegan mayo came with little pieces of fruit and extra lettuce. Lovely touch.“

“We were genuinely delighted by our visit to this hidden gem in Lewes. Arriving during happy hour, we were pleased to see such a wide selection of offerings. Our group sampled the fish tacos, Caesar salads, and shrimp starters - all served in generous portions and tasting wonderfully fresh. I went for the burger, which was a bit on the messy side but packed with flavor, topped with coleslaw and a tangy barbecue sauce. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. With reasonable prices and great service, it's hard to go wrong here.“

“It was an okay couple of hours. We thought there’d be more arcade games and a better axe throwing experience. The axe attendant stood there the entire time watching us so that was weird and awkward. Probably won’t go back and stick to stumpys up in Middletown.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! ✨❤️✨“

“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“

“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.“

“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”!!!“

“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 👍👍“

“I not only work here but have had the opportunity to experience many menu items. I’m not trying to be an opportunist, but I’m telling you all straight up. This is some of the best food I’ve ever had and this is echoed by many customers that I have had the pleasure of serving. When I say it like eating 5 star food without paying 100 per plate. Many of our menu items are made to order and created in house from scratch. Get the house made mozzarella stick. About 1.5 inches wide and 10 inches long, with our own house made marinara. Not only is excellent tasting but it’s also visually appealing when it arrives at the table. Try the dinner entree with 2 crab cakes. There’s not much holding it together, meaning limited filler, but loads of jumbo lump crab meat. Delicious!!! There’s also catch of the day that is cut and prepared in house daily. Or if handheld food, served at lunch or dinner, is your thing get the Mediterranean Flatbread or the Tuscan Chicken Panini. They are definitely customer favorites and are very easy to enjoy with all the flavor and texture built in to each. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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.“
