11 Best Bars in Newark

“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!“

“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!“

“I love this bar. I always have fun and feel comfortable to vibe and have a good time. The bartenders are amazing and attentive no matter how busy they get.

There’s bands, Kareoke on Thursdays, pool, and darts. And sometimes food truck. :) check it out if you’re ready for a good night! <3“

“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.“

“I've been commuting from VA everyday fr the past few weeks. Ended up working late and getting a room. Found this place after a did a quick Google maps search, and was IMMEDIATELY sold when a review said this bar reminded them of "Cheers".

BRIAN was the bartender when I came in. He was super welcoming and had great small talk. As someone who's never been here, he treated me like a regular.

CHARLIE, who prepared the food, also came out when he had time and was a pleasure to chat with. The food he made was really good.

The environment is what I look for in a bar. If I lived here, this would be my regular spot.. It's refreshing to find small places like this, where people care and build a welcoming environment. I'd come back, NO QUESTION! Cheers to another late work day!“

“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.“

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

“A great venue, not far from the UD campus right on the river. Good food at decent prices. Their upstairs venue space is awesome. We are there monthly for the Vanguard Event and they go out of their way with custom drinks and great service. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Halftime Sport Bar in Newark, Delaware! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for catching a game or unwinding after work. The service is top-notch, and their menu offers a great selection of drinks and tasty bites. Definitely a five-star spot!“

“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.“

“We recently hosted a bridal shower at Bahama Breeze in Newark, DE, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our servers, Shannon and Emma, were incredibly attentive and resourceful—every dish for our group of nearly 20 guests was perfectly prepared and served without delay.

A very special thanks to General Manager, Mike Links, who went above and beyond to accommodate last-minute arrangements and ensure the bride’s day was perfect. He personally checked in with us, made everything seamless, and even took a beautiful group photo of our entire party—such a thoughtful touch that meant so much.

Thanks to Mike, Shannon, Emma, and the entire Bahama Breeze team, the event was stress-free, joyful, and truly unforgettable. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend this location for any special occasion!“
