17 Best Cocktail Bars near Pennsville

“PENNSVILLE: perched along the banks of the Delaware River, The Shipyard is a seasonal destination that blends an indoor-outdoor vibe with unbeatable views of the river, the Delaware shoreline, and the Delaware Memorial bridge. This lively spot offers a bar, two dining options, lawn games, a sandy beach area, and plenty of space to relax.

Leashed and friendly pups are welcome to join you for a beer garden–style experience. Choose your setting: inside the bar with the garage doors rolled open and the breeze drifting through, gathered around outdoor firepits, or lounging on driftwood at the beach. However you spend it, it is a one-of-a-kind way to enjoy the day. The indoor space even has mister fans to stay cool.

The welcoming staff add to the charm, and locals say the sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular. Afterward, take a stroll along the walking path at Riverview Beach Park. Fun fact: The state of Delaware actually controls the Delaware River in this area! Who knew? Dip your paw in the water and you are in Delaware!“

“Newtown is a historic, colonial town, and is very quaint and charming. Within, the Mercury Cafe is a gym with delicious comfort food and great coffee. While it’s vegetarian, many of the dishes can be prepared vegan. The BBQ pulled oats sandwich, pastrami panini, grilled cheese and tomato soup were all so good and comforting. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“Kelly’s Logan House is hands down one of the best spots in Wilmington. The food is great, especially the wings — they’re honestly incredible, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The rest of the menu is solid too, with plenty of good options beyond typical bar food.

What really makes it stand out is the late-night scene. Whether it’s live music, DJs, or just the energy of the crowd, it’s always a fun vibe without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of lively and laid-back.

I also really appreciate that it feels safe. The staff do a good job of keeping things comfortable, and it’s the kind of place you can go with friends and just enjoy yourself without worry.

If you’re in Wilmington and looking for good food, great wings, and a fun night out, Kelly’s Logan House is a must.“

However, they were very accommodating and we had the best server, Amanda, who made sure I was completely comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, fast to answer my questions, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here during your stay and be sure to request Amanda ☺️“

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.
