“Everything about this restaurant was great! The food was really good, the drinks were amazing (they had the best piña colada I have ever had, and I'm old), the atmosphere was fun but not loud, and they had a mariachi band playing at tables the whole time we were there on a Sunday night in a snowstorm. We left very happy! Thanks for a tasty and memorable dinner! We will DEFINITELY be back!“

“I went for a goth night event and had a great time. Excellent bar service, DJ was good too! There's also a food truck. There was a lot of focus on S&M stuff, which is not my thing, and kind of overpowered the club. But to each their own 🤷‍♀️“

“The owner, employees, and atmosphere are incredible. Everyone is kind and friendly and so very welcoming. If you like good drinks and company, definitely come to Twisted Irons! They all love dogs, too!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, great food & the music moves you! Check out this venue…stellar!“

“Great place to hang with a small group and enjoy a good drink“

“Named as one of the top dive bars in the country, Murph's is a bit less ragged and run down and a step up from some of the dives I've been in. It's clean, tastefully decorated, and spacious. You can immediately tell that this is a neighborhood bar, where the locals are all familiar with one another. There is ample space for pool, and the 360 degree wrap-around bar is a great touch. We only came in for beer, and I can report back that the draft beer is quite cold!“

“It’s the night before Christmas. My family just went through a traumatic experience and had enough. My husband and I searched everywhere for a bar. This bar was the only bar open for miles. The bar tender was very friendly. Served me a double of what I needed to forget my troubles. They don’t serve food though. But that’s ok.“

“Last night was my first time and we had so much fun!! The bartender was awesome! Everyone was super friendly. Can’t wait to go back“

“The bartender Chloe (apologies for possible misspelling) is an absolute wonder. She is kind, funny, and remembers customers as well as their drinks. Awesome place!“

“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!“

“George’s Bar in Claymont is another great no-frills dive bar done right. Cash only, cheap beer and liquor, and fast, friendly service at the bar. Exactly what you want from a true local spot.

The vibe is very close-knit with a lot of regulars, and everyone is welcoming the moment you walk in. It feels like a place where people actually know each other and are happy to have you join in.

If you’re looking for an authentic neighborhood bar with good prices, solid pours, and a laid-back atmosphere, George’s is a great choice.“

“Small neighborhood bar with big heart and community love. Event space and outdoor patio bar with smokers lounge. If you like oldies don’t miss 1st Saturdays, if you like karaoke come on Monday night 7pm, if you like it gritty in the city hit it up on Thursday night. If you just want a laid back dive bar for a heavy drink for the low, there’s no other in the city with a better pour. STAMP.“

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

“BRING YOUR OWN FOOD - so 5 stars. I can bring in some of my Nona's pipin-hot meatballs to snack on while I finish my brews. Or i could even run around the corner and have the chefs at Panda King whip me up a nice meal that pairs well with my shots of Makers Mark Whiskey.

STELLAR SERVICE - The vibrant personalities of the bartenders & bouncers alike create a warm and cozy atmosphere good for anyone who falls inside the 21-50 year old demographic. It's an amazing experience and i highly recommend it to my friends and family, daily.“

“Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Pool Tables and many classic pinball machines to play! Juke Box filled with cool music for all. Owners and Day/Night Bartenders are wonderful! Really tasty food! Hot and Cold menu choices! Love the place more than home! ✌️👍👍✌️“

“Friendly crowd. Attentive bartenders. Good, and very reasonablely-priced drinks, great karaoke with Bobby on Tuesday at 7pm, and Friday at 8pm. love the family-feel about the place. In the 4 years that I've been a member, I enjoyed being there every time. I've met some many new friends and I have fun with them at karaoke.“

“Great place to watch the games or to just hang out and throw back some drinks. Friendly bartenders.“

“Such great bartenders Jules and Erin and a great atmosphere and great locals there“

“Whenever I need to unwind and I’m in Delaware, I come here. It’s like “Cheers” for my people. I’m in my zone, playing the jukebox, chatting with the regulars, and having a Jack. The owner “Lady” is the realest lady I know, she’s a mentor to many and a force in the community.“

“Locals spot, but welcoming to everyone. Isn't the most glamorous, but I guarantee that you'll feel at home.“

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

“Cold beer and good food 😊. the staff is great.“

“After searching for Mexican Food that tastes like home (Northern California), we finally found it! We had to drive 85 miles to get here but we will be back. ❤️❤️“

“Walking into this Trolley Square gem feels like a warm embrace! From the moment we stepped inside, the welcoming presence of Jacquline, our host, guided us to a comfortable table tucked away in the back. Her genuine friendliness set the perfect tone. Shortly after, the delightful Katie became our server, her pleasant demeanor immediately putting us at ease and smoothly starting our culinary journey. The menu boasted a tempting array of options, and we eagerly chose the kale Caesar, cornbread, and brisket mac and cheese to begin. Oh my goodness – each starter was an absolute revelation! For our main courses, my wife savored the delicate lamb gnocchi, while I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked salmon. Neither dish disappointed; they were both executed flawlessly. A thoughtful touch was Katie finding me a delicious non-alcoholic beer, a real treat since I don't drink. To conclude our exceptional meal, we shared a lemon pound cake that was simply divine. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this wonderful spot in Trolley Square. Everything, from the ambiance to the exquisite food and the extraordinary service, was truly on point.“

“Great friendly place for n people to hang out with“

“My sister and Fiancé usually go Suite 4 Eleven for date night. One particular Saturday she asked me to go with them so they could see if this would be a great place to hold their after party for the wedding. Needless to say we will be booking a section in September for after the wedding. This is our new hangout spot. The DJ,food,hookah and professionalism of the staff is what absolutely sold it for us!“

“I make an annual stop here while visiting family and always enjoy myself -- usually too much! The drinks are good and the bathrooms are clean. Never had the food. Kat the bartender is awesome & makes the place comfortable-- she spoke to everyone that came in and if she was in the middle of a conversation and didn't greet someone it was because she already knew their drink and was getting it for them without a word exchanged!“

“went there tonight for the first time in a long time and the cheese steak was amazing. Like I need to go there more often for the food!“

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

“Nice spot. In the area for work and stopped in for a few drinks after a long day. Tim was my bartender and he clearly understands the assignment on what a good bartender should be. He was attentive, efficient, friendly, and makes great drinks! Will definitely stop back here if I’m ever in the area. 10/10 service.“

“I have hosted two parties at McCully's in 2018 for corporate functions. Nick rocked both functions with excellent service, reasonable pricing and flexibility. The relaxed atmosphere allowed everyone to kick back, laugh, sing and dance all while eating good bar food. The second party was in May with an expanded menu, my favorite new item was the mahi mahi tacos. Our bartenders Alice and Meredith were EXCELLENT! They had everyone laughing and engaged, mixed drinks quickly and deliciously and pouring one of their 40+ selections of craft beer. Definitely a great place to enjoy a craft beer, hot wings and excellent service.“

“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!“

“If you want good food/service/drinks/atmosphere? This is the place you want to be. Date night? Game night? Both? This is the one stop shop for going out“

“I have been there 4 times already I absolutely love this place . I get the cinnamon french toast oh my goodness it is so good. I could not put my fork down . Everything was excellent!!! My new breakfast and lunch spot!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I was invited by a friend on a Tuesday evening, and there was a birthday party going on, so there wasn't any food being sold, don't really know if they still did? The birthday patry people provided the food and allowed everyone to have some, which was so nice. There was a DJ named DJ Cuzzin Pete who was jammin! It's hard to get guys to dance with you in Delaware. I don't know why? Pretty small place. There is a pool table and a nice sized dance floor. The mixed drinks were good.“

“Fun spot for one person at the bar or bring your coworkers and have a private party like we did! Chloe was a great server and with the team at The Engine House they made our night on their second floor playing golf, eating n drinking a great night!!!“

“nice place to visit friendly people bar made is very nice and does a great job 👍“
