7 Best Beer Bars near Wilmington

“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.“

“Venimos desde Maryland, y cada vez que entramos a The Merengue House sentimos como si estuviéramos llegando a casa. No es solo un restaurante… es un pedazo de nuestra cultura, de nuestros sabores, de lo que extrañamos y no encontramos donde vivimos. El sushi aquí es algo que no habíamos probado en ningún otro lugar: fresco, creativo, lleno de alma y sabor verdadero. Cada roll es una obra de arte que nos sorprende más que el anterior. Y la comida española… simplemente imposible describir lo perfecta. Se siente el cariño, la tradición y la pasión en cada plato. Es ese tipo de comida que te abraza, que te hace recordar a la familia, a la isla, a lo nuestro. Por eso, desde el corazón, queremos decirles: Bel Air, Maryland NECESITA un Merengue House. Aquí no tenemos restaurantes hispanos de calidad, no tenemos un lugar que represente nuestra cultura así de bonito. Sería un sueño —y un regalo— tener uno cerca de casa. Gracias por darnos no solo buena comida, sino momentos, memorias y un sabor que nunca olvidamos. Cada visita vale el viaje. Con cariño, Una familia agradecida desde Maryland 💛🍣🇵🇦🇵🇷 —— We travel all the way from Maryland, and every time we walk into The Merengue House, it feels like coming home. This isn’t just a restaurant… it’s a piece of our culture, our memories, and the flavors we miss and can’t find where we live. The sushi here is something we’ve never experienced anywhere else — fresh, creative, and full of soul and true flavor. Every roll is a masterpiece that surprises us more than the last. And the Spanish food… it’s honestly beyond perfect. You can taste the love, the tradition, and the passion in every single dish. It’s the kind of food that wraps around you like a warm hug, reminding you of family, of home, of our roots. So from the bottom of our hearts, we want to say this: Bel Air, Maryland NEEDS a Merengue House. We don’t have quality Hispanic restaurants here. We don’t have a place that represents our culture in such a beautiful, authentic way. Having one near us would be a dream — and a true gift to the community. Thank you for giving us not just amazing food, but memories, comfort, and a flavor we’ll never forget. Every visit is worth the trip. With love, A grateful family from Maryland 💛🍣🇵🇷🇵🇦“

“Great food. Excellent service.“

“This is the 2nd time we've come in as a large group for a work dinner. Even with 15+ people, the food and service was outstanding. Our server, Wayne, did a FANTASTIC job with all of our needs and requests, which can be a lot with such a large group. Not to mention he was super friendly. Everyone loved their food and we had an amazing time overall. ((Highly recommend the wings, Buffalo wrap, and short ribs.))“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.“

“Awesome atmosphere, great staff & the food is some of the best tasting I've ever had, if you have the means, I highly recommend going there, & pick up some food or sit down & enjoy a delicious meal. (Josh is the [on site chef] man!“

“When on the road traveling, it so refreshing to receive warm hospitality. That’s exactly what we experienced here. The food was great but the care and service Daysi provided was above and beyond. Next visit to Delaware will include a stop here.“
