36 Best Bars near Carneys Point

“Cold beer and good food 😊. the staff is great.“

“Great place to hang with a small group and enjoy a good drink“

“This was our first time visiting Hummingbird to Mars. We had heard from friends prior to going about how the place was set up. Our expectations were in line with how the restaurant runs. As a speakeasy, the focus is on the cocktails, which are made painstakingly by hand. Their preparation is true to historic standards and no detail is overlooked. The time it takes to receive your drinks might be a little longer than a traditional bar, but they are WELL WORTH IT.
Regarding the ambience, the location mimics the experience one might have had 100 years ago during prohibition. Upon arrival, you ring a doorbell at an otherwise nondescript entryway where you are greeted by friendly staff who will escort you up a flight of candlelit stairs to your table. The location can accommodate a few dozen people so making reservations would be prudent.
Once seated, you’ll be given an extensive drink menu from which you’ll certainly find a customized cocktail that will suit your taste. Our server was knowledgeable about the cocktails and helped us make educated choices with respect to food and drinks.
Considering we went in December, an excellent Jazz trio literally drummed up the background music…jazz interpretations of Christmas classics, which everyone enjoyed.
In a world of bland restaurant chains, this place stands out like a gem. You will not be disappointed.“

“Great food, service, music, and just friggin COOL!“

“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.“

“Best nachos I’ve ever had. I would gatekeep but I really want them to never take them off the menu so I must publicly vouch for them. Next time I’m ordering 2 for myself. Cocktails were also very good and the menu is extensive with unique and classic cocktails. A Last Word and Copper Dram nachos is an ideal pairing.“

“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 love that children are not in this place, best bartenders and waitresses in the business. Food isn’t costing you a mint and it’s good bar food. Also they really do make the best Jamison crush out there. Fun spot so glad we were alerted to it.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Everything we had was high quality, delicious, and very affordable. Started off with the Buffalo Chicken Tots for the table and they were devoured in seconds. We had the Philly Dog, a Chicken Cheesesteak, Triple Decker BLT, and the Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and we were all very happy with our sandwiches!“

“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.“

“I love this bar! I'm from nyc and was visiting family that goes to this bar on a daily basis. This was in 2007. George was a cool dude and always showed me respect. This is 2022 and this is one bar I will never forget! My picture might still be on the wall in the bar! Shout out to big Jim (George nephew) they showed me mad love! Love yall but NY Yankees is the best!????? THIS IS ONE BAR I WILL NEVER FORGET! ?????“

“Such great bartenders Jules and Erin and a great atmosphere and great locals there“

“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.“

“If you want good food/service/drinks/atmosphere? This is the place you want to be. Date night? Game night? Both? This is the one stop shop for going out“

“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!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“went to Gridiron for Eagles/Panthers today. Bartenders were excellent and the food was incredible!! Such a great experience.!! We will be back!! Saw the owner talking to some patrons and overseeing. Kudos to him!!“

“Friendly crowd. Attentive bartenders. Good, and very reasonablely-priced drinks, great karaoke with Bobby on Tuesday at 7pm, and Friday at 8pm. love the family-feel about the place. In the 4 years that I've been a member, I enjoyed being there every time. I've met some many new friends and I have fun with them at karaoke.“

“This is a great bar to hang out with friends or to see a band. They also have karaoke and large TV's for sports events. Tommy, the owner is a great supporter of the local community as well. The bar food menu is really good, I recommend the tacos.“

“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 was in a rough spot and I ended up in the Star it has been one of the best experiences of my life ❤ it really is a small village where people look out for each other the owner his wife the bartenders and regulars are special people who have big generous hearts and take good care of their people I'm grateful ? and happy and blessed to be starting a new beginning with each and everyone of them ✨ ? God has blessed me abundantly with favor and I'm grateful ? ✨“

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

“Small place, bartender Renee (think that’s her name) very sweet made me feel welcome as it was my first time the drinks are nice prices the rice and beans were mushy but that’s fine cause the seasoning was good and the curry chicken the curry flavor wasn’t there .. I’ll be back soon tho lol“

“Stopped in to get a cold wind blows in the area so I would have one beer and leave but it turned out I stopped it had more than 1 good thing I was not driving is nice place to be good people to talk to nice atmosphere and cold beer definitely would recommend this place“

“went there tonight for the first time in a long time and the cheese steak was amazing. Like I need to go there more often for the food!“

“The top notch service with a smile“

“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!“

“My sister and Fiancé usually go Suite 4 Eleven for date night. One particular Saturday she asked me to go with them so they could see if this would be a great place to hold their after party for the wedding. Needless to say we will be booking a section in September for after the wedding. This is our new hangout spot. The DJ,food,hookah and professionalism of the staff is what absolutely sold it for us!“

“Fun spot for one person at the bar or bring your coworkers and have a private party like we did! Chloe was a great server and with the team at The Engine House they made our night on their second floor playing golf, eating n drinking a great night!!!“
