I didn't even open my cigar yet and I felt like I was at home. The vibes are on point, DJ was on fire, and everyone was respectful and down to earth.

Truly a great experience!

Hummingbird to Mars is one of those rare places that reminds you why small businesses matter…read more Tucked away like a true speakeasy, it has an atmosphere that immediately pulls you in: low light, intimate corners, and a sense that you've stepped into a place where craft still means something. The bartenders are the heart of the experience. They don't just pour drinks; they create them. There's real skill and artistry behind the bar, and the conversation is as good as the cocktails. You can tell they care about balance, technique, and presentation. The Walk in the Garden gin cocktail is the perfect example: bright, layered flavors, premium ingredients, and that lavender garnish that hits your nose before the first sip. The scent alone sets the stage for the drink. It's thoughtful, elegant, and exactly what a craft cocktail should be. The food holds its own right alongside the drinks. The skillet meatballs come out tender and full of flavor, the kind of dish that disappears faster than you expect. The potato skins are crisp, satisfying, and exactly what you want with a cocktail in hand. And the homemade Baileys cheesecake is the kind of dessert you plan to share but end up guarding with your fork. It's rich without being heavy, with that unmistakable homemade touch. One of the best parts of Hummingbird to Mars is the tapas-style menu. You can eat as much or as little as you want, a couple of small plates with drinks, or a full progression from appetizers to dessert. It gives you the freedom to shape the night however you want, without committing to oversized entrées or predictable bar food. And that's the bigger point: places like this don't happen by accident. They come from creativity, risk-taking, and a commitment to doing things well. If we don't support small businesses that put this level of care into their craft, we'll be left with nothing but the same chains serving the same menus everywhere you go. Hummingbird to Mars is the antidote to that; personal, inventive, and genuinely memorable. From the first sip to the last bite, it's a place that delivers an experience, not just a night out. It's worth supporting, worth returning to, and worth celebrating.

Okay... judge me! Yes, this is ANOTHER review of one of the best speakeasies in Delaware. Service…read moreis spectacular and servers are well knowledgeable about their spirits and food. Shoutout to Christian! We went with a bigger party this time - total of 6. Would highly recommend reservations. Parking can be challenging but worth the work. You will ring a bell next to a discreet door where someone will assist you. You are greeted and walked up a very long staircase to the actual speakeasy. There's a bar, seating areas, and lounge areas as well. There's also live music. Check their socials. We ordered lots of drinks - 12 total. Every single one was absolutely delicious. Doesn't matter what you order. They do have seasonal cocktails too. You can't go wrong. Food! Okay, just order one of everything. We got meatballs (highly recommend), tuna, pizzas (shareable size). All the things were good. Again, you can see this isn't our first time here (see previous reviews). We will continue to share this place with as many people as we can as it is a superb experience! Just all around a lovely place to sit and enjoy cocktails and good. For sure meets that speakeasy vibe!

I honestly couldn't tell if I was tasting crab or fish. The cole slaw on top was an extremely small portion (about a tablespoon or so) and very tart, as was the remoulade.

Had a first date here last night and was blown away. What can be said about the stately interior…read morethat hasn't already been said? Well, maybe we could say "Bring back the curtains!" We were seated in a delightfully comfortable booth and started with two perfectly crafted cocktails. We split the winter green salad, which was the ideal size to share. The green apple provided a subtle snap, while the poppyseed vinaigrette had a hint of orange that paired beautifully with the walnuts. For mains, I had the lamb shoulder and my date had the trumpet mushrooms. While I'm not usually a mushroom eater, she absolutely loved her dish. My lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender, served over polenta that truly melted in my mouth. We both finished with the Lemon Panna Cotta--it was airy, fresh, and perfectly zesty. We had a wonderful night, though we've definitely set an impossibly high precedent for future dates!

My favorite was the pan seared scallop (fyi-I'm not much of a meat eater, but indulged for the occasion) I would def recommend this place and plan to revisit again.
