12 Best Gastropubs near Chadds Ford

“Food was phenomenal, beer was great and everything’s decently priced. Definitely our new go to spot!“

“I ate at the Merchant Bar tonight with my parents and my 2 young daughters. We came in during the Ladybug Festival to get some dinner and my kids quickly started to get cranky (to put it nicely). Our waitress, clearly an angel on earth, brought over bowls of grape tomatoes that she had sliced in half and cucumbers while we ordered and waited for our food. I was getting overwhelmed and she saved the night by doing that. The food and drinks were also phenomenal. Thank you for the great service and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Local watering hole situated in a busy strip mall. Good place to meet friends for a drink and bite to eat. The beer was cold but didn’t eat anything.

The bar area is tight but a huge dining room with plenty of tables in the back.“

“Stopped in yesterday and loved the food. Mike friendly, gave good service. So nice to have Duffers in the neighborhood.“

“As a person who has frequented many restaurants and establishments in my life this is my real opinion. I had a 40 year career with one major corporation dealing with customer service and sales. I tend to judge places on what was expected of me being successful in my life. There are way too many places where customer service is lacking. I tend to avoid them and spend my money where people appreciate their customers. Today it's very rare when a GM sets the standard for the other employees to follow. Two Stones Pub GM, Mallary is excellent. She is engaging to all the customers, assists with the bartenders and servers. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often. If you haven't been there I highly recommend going there.“

“Fun environment, nice crowd“

“~ Cool place w/ great food, flights of margaritas, friendly service staff, & very affordable prices!“

“We LOVE Station Taproom. Jack is our favorite bartender, but their whole staff is great! The cocktail and beer menu is amazing, and I’ve never eaten anything bad from there. This is our favorite place to bring friends and family when theyre in town! They always have new specials on the menu, which is fun, BUT…..bring back the chicken bacon ranch sandwich PLEASEEEEE!“

“Excellent food always my favorite place to eat out. The fish tacos are out of this world and a must to try the cauliflower curry soup delicious dad they closed in Middletown but its worth traveling where ever they are because their just that good!“

“This is our go to when we just want great food and a relaxing atmosphere. Love the staff!!“

“Excellent service and even better food. Thank you to Anthony and team for going above and beyond!“

“We just had a bridal shower there in May 2025. We picked Chelsea Tavern because it was in a central location for our 2 families to come together and celebrate. All I can say is that everything was fantastic! The service, the room, the attention to detail was perfect! The food was phenomenal! The portions were huge and tasted terrific! Madelyn was a wonderful hostess and Rob the best bartender and pancake bar chef! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Picking Chelsea Tavern was the best decision and the bride to be was so happy and said everything was exactly as she had imagined. Thank you to everyone involved, it was the most special day 🌸💗🌸“
