20 Best Pubs near New Castle

“My wife and I went for the first time while visiting from Ohio. We loved the atmosphere and the food. The beer selection is spectacular. I cannot recommend the lingonberry ice cream enough, that stuff is amazing.“

“First time I came here, I was a little nervous, but the regulars are super friendly and the bartender is great!! I went there to read, and while I did get a lot done, it was great talking to the regulars.“

“Kelly’s Logan House is hands down one of the best spots in Wilmington. The food is great, especially the wings — they’re honestly incredible, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The rest of the menu is solid too, with plenty of good options beyond typical bar food.

What really makes it stand out is the late-night scene. Whether it’s live music, DJs, or just the energy of the crowd, it’s always a fun vibe without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of lively and laid-back.

I also really appreciate that it feels safe. The staff do a good job of keeping things comfortable, and it’s the kind of place you can go with friends and just enjoy yourself without worry.

If you’re in Wilmington and looking for good food, great wings, and a fun night out, Kelly’s Logan House is a must.“

“The pizza is perfectly cooked-/crisp and tasty!! I had the mushroom, goat cheese and arugula with balsamic glaze —so good!!! My husband had a cheesesteak Stromboli and it was yummy!! Service was excellent and its a great place to watch a game!! We will definitely be back?“

“Oh their burgers is the best ones ever. They also have a vegan/gluten free menu that is very helpful with the friends I bring over. My favorites are the the Kitchen Burger and the Salmon dish with the cornbread and rice. Service is always good, sprouts environment, clean and organized, most of the times they will ask what seats you prefer :).

In rush ours it’s good to reserve when you’re going in as a group of 5 and up (but they usually have open seats, haven’t really waited the times I’ve been there)“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 🤷‍♀️“

“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!“

“As a person who has frequented many restaurants and establishments in my life this is my real opinion. I had a 40 year career with one major corporation dealing with customer service and sales. I tend to judge places on what was expected of me being successful in my life. There are way too many places where customer service is lacking. I tend to avoid them and spend my money where people appreciate their customers. Today it's very rare when a GM sets the standard for the other employees to follow. Two Stones Pub GM, Mallary is excellent. She is engaging to all the customers, assists with the bartenders and servers. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often. If you haven't been there I highly recommend going there.“

“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.“

“McGlynns Pub - Pike Creek is always a solid choice, just like the Glasgow location. The pub food is consistently good, the beer selection is awesome, and the service is usually very good as well. It’s an easy, reliable spot whether you’re meeting friends or grabbing a casual meal before heading out. Just like the other McGlynns, it never disappoints for what it is.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Great food! Great local pub. Very welcoming atmosphere. Staff were friendly and likeable. Buffalo chicken tenders and burgers were amazing. Salad was generous and fresh. We picked this pub randomly because of the name (!) And good reviews. Small parking lot on-site designated for patrons, which is very convenient on this busy street. I would highly recommend stopping in for good food and drinks.“

“Great service! Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“In town for event and was told to try the pizza. We ordered beers and Pete was able to be our server. Very nice and will do anything for your visit. Great service great pizza. Will return to try other things on the menu, cheese steaks, burgers, club sandwich all looked amazing. Do not hesitate to stop in for a beer and a pizza. Well worth the stop. Thanks Pete.“
