“I'm on vacation from Canada and went out last night with my cousin and ended up at this place. This is not somewhere.I would normally go but when in Rome.... At first when I walked in it reminded me of a bar that I've seen on Tubi and guess what.... I loved every minute of it. It was ladies night!!! The bartenders were friendly and quick.
The music was great and them drinks were amazing. Never really been a fan of the lemon drop, but they made me a fan last night and let's talk about the $8 Patron shots. Yes, please!!!! All good vibes, the whole time. Shout out to the birthday girl!!! 🥛🥛🥛🧉🧉🧉🍸🍸🍸
Oh, and the chicken wings are so good. Definitely a 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 vibe!“

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

“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!“

“shelley is by far THE BEST bartender to see evenings/nights! sunday-wednesday is her schedule! quick customer service, great quality drinks, and such a friendly experience! shelley is great and i cannot speak highly enough about her service and experience in the guests she sees! i do love this bar but shelley makes it feel like a home atmosphere forreal“

“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 🤷‍♀️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great place to enjoy a drink and relax. Several TV's at the bar and plenty of seating at tables or atvthe bar. We had the French dip which was not great, but okay. Their burger, the fire cracker shrimp and wings were fantastic. And as usual the bar tender and staff were great.“

“I've lost track of how many times we stopped here. The drinks are ridiculously cheap and the bartenders are great. We never sit with empty glasses. We like to go when its quieter on Sundays, but even durning the weekend when it was really crowded we still found seats at the bar. They always have all the games on, including horse racing. This is one of our faves.“

“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! ✌️👍👍✌️“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Overall it was a nice bar once we got inside. We had a pepperoni pizza abd some drinks and did kareoke (friday night). It seems a little quiet and weird when you pull up because its a very hidden bar and its a little hard to tell if it's open, but once you get inside they have great music and very nice bartenders. Would definitely go again“

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

“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. ❤️❤️“

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

“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!“

“Best dive bar around with fantastic bartenders and great food!“

“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!“

“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“
