“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.“

“I have a burger every Wednesday while enjoying great music from the hottest karaoke singers this side of Naamans road. Every bite is delicious! A must try.“

“My family and I can’t THANK Patti enough for making my daughter’s graduation party a huge success! The staff, and food was absolutely amazing.

We are still receiving calls and text since the party. Complementing the food and how beautiful the venue setup was.. and I let them know, it was the help from Patty!

All I can say is, “Hands Down” to Patty, because of her service, support, and patience; our party was phenomenal! Thank you again, Patty“

“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 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“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“This was my first time visiting, and honestly, I thought it might be my last. But as I was driving home, I couldn’t help but think, I’m definitely coming back here again.

Cassandra was fantastic! You can see her mom’s guidance shining through. Once she gets everything down packed, she’s going to be an outstanding bartender.

She’s new to the game, so let's cut her slack and try not to be an asshole. We all make mistakes—that’s how we grow.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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!“
