This place was recommended to me by some friends who live in Wilmington. I was looking for somewhere to watch NFL games on a Sunday afternoon, and this is walking distance from the SureStay America hotel, where I was staying. I got there around 12:30, and about half of the dozen or so bar seats were taken. There were several tables, but only 2 were occupied. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a Hazy Bones IPA. Pretty good. I also had an Octoberfest beer later on. I noticed 2 coolers full of craft beer selections, in both bottles and cans. The bartender was on the phone for a while with Directv because he was having issues with the Sunday Ticket. It never got resolved, but he said it should be fixed by the following week. They still showed 4 different games. The majority of the customers were Eagles fans, but the bartender was nice enough to put one of the many Tvs on the Pittsburgh/Buffalo game when I told him I'm a Steelers fan. I was grateful he was willing to do that. When my friends arrived, we grabbed a table and watched the game from there. It was a lively atmosphere with lots of fans cheering on their team. My friends complained that the restroom was cold, but I didn't notice. My only complaint is they don't serve food, however I saw a few people bring food they bought elsewhere inside. Kind of cool that they allow that. I saw a jukebox near the restrooms, but because everyone was there for football, no one was playing it. It was a fun afternoon, and despite the fact that some people were rooting for opposing teams, there were no incidents. I enjoyed my time there and if I'm ever back in Delaware, I'd like to return.

Since it has been redone, it looks like a completely new place! They have spread out high tops and barstools to accommodate for guests during COVID and do allow use of their pool table still. The drinks are great and the bartender was really great! It was perfect for the non-beer drinker in our group since they had white claws, hard ciders, twisted teas and mixed drinks available for them. FYI: They don't serve food though but they allow you to bring food in which I didn't know. We would've probably stayed longer if they served food but we still enjoyed our time there.

I've been a few times. After the first few trips the cars definitely figured themselves out. I've only ever seen 10ish people there. So not sure how parking is a problem. Lovely bartenders. Good TVs. Shuffleboard.
