“Always a nice place to stop by when I'm in the area. The staff always treat me with the best service. Good food generous bar beverages. If you find yourself here on a Friday or Saturday night it's a party with live music and dancing.“

“Best food ever. Everything was fresh. Service was great and with a smile. Loved the live Jazz to! Will definitely be back soon.“

“My husband and I have been here a few times for his pool League. The barmaid Shelly is very friendly. She was very helpful with recommendations from the menu. We've had the chicken cheese steak, chicken tenders, and hamburger. My favorite is the grilled chicken salad. It's generously sized and topped with an entire chicken breast. The chicken is very tender. The fries are delicious as well.*** They add a 3-4% (can't remember the exact amount) fee for credit card payments. They do not allow tips on credit cards.

“This was our first time visiting Hummingbird to Mars. We had heard from friends prior to going about how the place was set up. Our expectations were in line with how the restaurant runs. As a speakeasy, the focus is on the cocktails, which are made painstakingly by hand. Their preparation is true to historic standards and no detail is overlooked. The time it takes to receive your drinks might be a little longer than a traditional bar, but they are WELL WORTH IT.
Regarding the ambience, the location mimics the experience one might have had 100 years ago during prohibition. Upon arrival, you ring a doorbell at an otherwise nondescript entryway where you are greeted by friendly staff who will escort you up a flight of candlelit stairs to your table. The location can accommodate a few dozen people so making reservations would be prudent.
Once seated, you’ll be given an extensive drink menu from which you’ll certainly find a customized cocktail that will suit your taste. Our server was knowledgeable about the cocktails and helped us make educated choices with respect to food and drinks.
Considering we went in December, an excellent Jazz trio literally drummed up the background music…jazz interpretations of Christmas classics, which everyone enjoyed.
In a world of bland restaurant chains, this place stands out like a gem. You will not be disappointed.“

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

“This place is one of my all time favorites. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, good music, fun events every night, good food at the food truck. The bartender with the green hair is especially sweet and attentive. This place quickly became my home bar.“

“Best nachos I’ve ever had. I would gatekeep but I really want them to never take them off the menu so I must publicly vouch for them. Next time I’m ordering 2 for myself. Cocktails were also very good and the menu is extensive with unique and classic cocktails. A Last Word and Copper Dram nachos is an ideal pairing.“

“Despite living just 20 minutes from the brewery and being an avid beer lover, for whatever reason my husband and I hadn’t been to twisted irons. We decided to make a visit and then were kicking ourselves for not coming sooner! Often if you’re not a “regular” at these breweries you’re ignored, not here. The staff were amazing! They made us feel welcome, and made beer suggestions based on our style of beer choices. The beers were delicious and the vibes were vibin’. We left raving… until we noticed our card was charged for substantially more than we authorized. BUT! Literally within minutes of me contacting the bar, they sincerely apologized for the fat finger and refunded the money. I debated adding that little negative thing, but it’s important for others to know that despite making a mistake, how quickly they rectified it while also being so kind. I 10/10 recommend this brewery and cannot wait to return! Cheers!“

“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.“

“I went to this place last week and it was definitely a really good experience. We had a get together and chose this place. We were 15 people in all and each one of us was paid attention by the staff. This was probably the best part of visiting this place. The food was also delicious and drinks were good as well“

“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“

“A dope dive bar where a lot of different folk come together to forget about the outside world and have a few drinks over a game or two of pool. There’s tons of bar space and table seating which makes the walkway quite skinny, so be prepared to be bumping shoulders and hips with the patrons all night. Honestly the back wall being full of TVs is kind of hilarious and doesn’t fit the vibe but who cares. Didn’t get the bartender’s name with the tattoos but that guy was really cool. Bring the lads here.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“I love this bar! I'm from nyc and was visiting family that goes to this bar on a daily basis. This was in 2007. George was a cool dude and always showed me respect. This is 2022 and this is one bar I will never forget! My picture might still be on the wall in the bar! Shout out to big Jim (George nephew) they showed me mad love! Love yall but NY Yankees is the best!????? THIS IS ONE BAR I WILL NEVER FORGET! ?????“

“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 was searching for a karaoke spot on a Thursday night. After calling about 8 different places, I found this one and had driven 40 min to Christiana pub. Didn't look too promising outside at first, but when I entered the girl that was singing Tennessee Whiskey was phenomenal and the good vibes were most definitely there. Place was clean and locals were very friendly (no weirdos lol) and everyone was having a great time. My only complaint is the bartender Lexi was very rude when I entered and also when I went to get a drink. As a former bartender and server of 8 years, and as a first time customer, had it not been for the dj and the locals I might not have come back based on her initial attitude towards me. Other bartender (didnt get her name) was attentive and more relaxed as she was working. My suggestion is that every person who walks in the door is a paying customer and should be made to feel welcomed. Other than that, great time great drinks, great crowd, would still recommend 👌“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Our only issue was that they had NO MILK to make us any coffees! This was before 19:30 not at last orders.“

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

“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.“

“Small location for the licals to hang out and shoot pool.They don't serve food (maybe they did in the past?). But they allow you to bring food in. Bartenders are great with outgoing personalities (twin sisters).Great place to grab drink with buddies.“

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

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

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

“Awesome little local bar with the best bartender (Bob's da man!) Great place to play darts, can't say much for pool bc always too many people over there but hey that's to be expected at a place whose sign clearly says Billiards... y'all need to be patient.“

“It's got pool tables, if you like to shoot, the staff is friendly -ish. It's a good atmosphere. A couple of the bartenders are okay, they are kind of slow and not very customer service friendly, but other than that I don't have any issues here and everyone seems pretty laid back.“

“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 was NOT disappointed! I decided to come here for a Saturday lunch after scrolling through the options in Wilmington. I was able to find parking on the street easily. I walked in, sat at the bar right away and was quickly greeted with a friendly bartender. I was super excited to see that they have Leinie’s on tap! As a Wisconsin native I couldn’t pass up the Leinie’s Juicy Peach sour. It was a great and refreshing drink. I also enjoyed the French Onion Soup. It came out piping hot and was perfect. I am glad I made it here and will definitely be back!“
