Delaware

Pick a city to see bars, breweries, and nightlife nearby.

Delaware's bar scene is built around its beach towns and a genuinely nationally-known brewery: Dogfish Head, founded in Rehoboth Beach, is one of the best-known craft breweries in the country and still anchors the local beer scene today. BarFinder lists 456 venues statewide, led by sports bars, classic bars, and a solid brewery and gastropub presence. Rehoboth Beach in particular has built a reputation as a craft beer destination, with spots like Dewey Beer Co. earning national recognition alongside a growing wave of craft cocktail lounges in Wilmington. From beach-town taprooms to pubs like McLaren's Irish Pub and Thurston's Pub, Delaware's small size doesn't mean a small bar scene.
