I had the Caesar salad & the blackened chicken was delicious & juicy. Service was great they accommodated our 7 person party without any reservation. Will definitely be eating here again. read more

The wings were good. Services were subpar. The bartender was more interested in taking shots than the customers in my opinion. The place was clean but the bathroom was disgusting. read more

Delaney's is a local restaurant and bar in New Haven. I came here for a small gathering and was very pleased with the friendly customer service and great drink prices! We ordered drinks for seven people, and our bill came up to 65 bucks -- What a steal! read more

I've been here twice. Once at a high table with a friend... we ordered wings & beers. And then one time by myself so I sat at the bar. I like the atmosphere. The people working are friendly. Their wings are great. Good beer selection. What's not to like about Delaney's!!! read more

Delaney's Restaurant & Tap Room - buffalo wings w/ ranch dressing - American Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

This is my all time favorite steak s (cooked to your liking) of all time and I got to have it again last night after having not had it for like 5 years. Nothing has changed it's as delicious as always. They also have incredible wings, burgers and salads (amongst all the other things on the menu I've yet to try). You can't see everything in the picture so I'll describe the sandwich for you: a whole piece of boneless ny strip (cooked to your preference) put on a small sub roll of toasted garlic bread with melted Gorgonzola cheese and just perfect onion rings (like, onion rings I can actually eat). I also like to add mayo, lettuce and tomato to mine. Sheer perfection. read more

Outstanding happy hour this evening at Delaney's. Sat outside and our server could not have been nicer(wish I got her name) she was very nice. The food was great the Buffalo chicken tenders had great flavor, house made potato chips were large and in charge lol. Great portions no way the 2 of us would have been able to finish them. Instant leftovers Stop by you will not be disappointed. The bar was full and busy and outdoor seating is available and was really good ! read more

Had salad for lunch today at Delaney's. Glad after the fire at the old location they decided to reopen in a new location. I've had their salad years ago and it is still just as tasty as before. Right now they have a limited menu due to Covid but I really hope they add back the lobster ravioli and grilled shrimp meal. That was one of my favorite meals besides the salad. The Spring mix salad is a wonderful salad and a must try. You can get two meals from the one salad. Great portion size or share with a friend. Here are the pictures. Stop by and check out Delaney's you will be satisfied. Enjoy read more

Delaney's Restaurant & Tap Room is a craft beer bar and restaurant that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in 2000. It was founded by restaurateur Peter Gremse. The business opened at 882 Whalley Avenue in a building that dated back to the early 1900s and had previously housed other popular bars and restaurants such as the Cape Codder and Bernie Wrinn's. Gremse ran the restaurant with his wife Kat for several years. It was one of the first restaurants in Connecticut to have over 50 beer draft lines. For the food menu, Delaney's had a wide selection of classic pub fare including steak, seafood, pasta dishes, burgers & sandwiches, salads, and various appetizers. One dish they were very well known for was their Buffalo wings. Many locals thought of Delaney's as the heart of the Westville section of New Haven. When I first started dating my wife, she lived in an apartment in Westville and we visited Delaney's frequently. During the Blizzard of 2013, just about everything was closed... but Delaney's was open. Tons of locals braved the mountains of snow to get to Delaney's by foot. Everything came crashing down in August 2014 when Delaney's burned to the ground from an electrical fire. It was a very sad day for Westville residents. After a six year absence, locals were ecstatic when Delaney's reopened across the street in October 2000. I recently visited the new Delaney's before attending a concert at the nearby Westville Music Bowl. The new location is a little smaller than the original, but it features some of the old staff. I was with my brother, and after scanning the menu we decided to order some sandwiches. My brother ordered a French Dip sandwich with Onion Rings and I ordered a Grilled Reuben with Onion Rings. We were both very happy with our meal choices. My brother washed everything down with a couple of rum and cokes, while I had a couple of craft beers. I was surprised to see that Delaney's only had a few beers on tap, but a large selection of canned beer. I'm hoping that they get more draft lines up and running soon; I miss the days of 50+ taps. read more

I do like this place and the food is decent but....I ordered Buffalo chicken tenders and wow...pricier than I've ever seen anywhere! I got 4 small tenders for 15$! which isn't worth it AT ALL I understand you do them by weight is what I was told but that's a COMPLETE RIP OFF! I would never buy them again and probably won't come back due to that...so unfortunate read more

I love coming in here as you feel like you're living a part in Cheers as it is that great. Everyone seems to know each other and if you're not part of that friendly partner ship you will be soon as that's how comfortable you feel here. The food is beyond delicious and happy hour do not miss. Make it a point to check out this place as you will soon be a regular!! read more

I got some takeout wings the other night...pretty good. I would say a solid 3/5. What made me give a 4 star on this review was the ranch dressing! It was really good! I did ask for both ranch and blue cheese and got two ranch dressings in my bag so that was a little disappointing. All in all, I will return. I probably will sit in next time! read more

AWFUL! Don't waste your time or money going here. The service was super slow, Jessica T. didn't know the menu, when I asked her if the ice tea was unsweetened, she replied 'I can't even taste the raspberry' - trust me, it was not unsweetened. The atmosphere is dumpy and the clientele makes you want to hold on to your purse and make sure your car is locked. It was not busy and Jessica would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time. We sat at 5pm and barely got out in time for our show at Lyman Center at 7pm. The food was just ok but she never came back to ask us how it was and on top of it all JESSICA added an AUTO-GRATUITY to our bills for our party of 6 and didn't tell us so we all tipped on top of it for this already poor, un-excusable service. I will NEVER go back and I suggest you try one of the other honest establishments in the area. read more

Stopped in last minute, great location as there's not much like it in that area. Wings were fantastic, salad was good too. I'll be back!

Great place! Friendly staff, excellent food. Wonderful place for a drink or sit down meal. I'd give it 6 stars if possible! read more

What a great spot! Actually come here quite often, and love the environment every time. Such a laid back bar, but not necessarily a "dive". The food is very very good, of all of the local bars downtown New Haven, I would have to say they have the best. The selection is also extremely vast, and you can get pretty much whatever you are looking for. If you're looking for a few beers, at a laid back bar, Delaney's is it! read more

My valid ID was flagged and almost destroyed here. Im 28 and had multiple forms of ID. A minor was bragged about drinking underaged next to me read more

I'm sorry, but no. Nostalgia be damned. I didn't know the previous Del's but this place isn't a 5-star review by any standards. A Tap Room with only 2 beers on draft? Chewy calamari, chewy chicken. Ambiance is lacking. Disappointing $50 experience for 2 appetizers and 2 drinks. Experience for yourself. read more

Nice location in Westville, full of chill down to earth people, reasonable prices, good food, good vibes.

Great sleeping arrangements and phenomenal host, took good care of us and put on a funny movie!!

Glad Delaney's is back in Westville! The staff and service have been wonderful. The food is great, try the buffalo tenders with house made bleu cheese. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate a nice evening out with friends. Also, the reviewer Eric N. was banned from the bar for his belligerent drunken behavior. He bothered many customers by drunkenly stumbling over trying to receive free drinks with his military stories. Funny thing about this, he seems to be in a different branch of the military or government on a weekly basis. On several occasions, when customers ask him to leave, he uses threatening language about causing physical harm. It's not that this bar is anti-military, it's anti-douchebag. read more

Visited this new bar and restaurant during a weekend trip to CT and am so happy I found it. A local recommended it, so I had to give it a try. The owner Mike came over and greeted us so my friend and I felt like we were in good hands right from the start. He recommended the bleu chips which we loved (the bleu cheese sauce was addictive and should be bottled and sold - it was that good). We shared the crab cakes for our main and they were fantastic. The server and bartender were super friendly and the place had a Cheers-like feel. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in New Haven since it feels like everybody knows your name there; it's that kind of spot, which was super refreshing to find (and a rarity nowadays!) read more

I wandered in here on vacation and was not disappointed! The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the prices seemed appropriate. The mudslide dessert surprised me because I expected a pie or cake but it was ice cream. Still tasted amazing though. I will certainly return if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Excellent service in the newly renovated restaurant. Food was very good we had 4 people in our party everyone agreed. Have returned twice for lunch wasn't disappointed. Nice bar. read more

First time visit. Seated on patio, dog welcome. Parking was easy, right behind the restaurant. Service prompt and friendly. No view from patio, but overhead trees are pleasant. Food: Bleu chips were excellent (but be sure to ask them to hold the jalapenos or they will overwhelm the cheese). 1 serving would be generous appetizer for 4 people. Mozzarella sticks done just right. Burger was good, but bun was blah (Kaiser roll or good local bread would have been better.) "Harvest Salad" fresh and flavorful. Ambience: Peaceful on patio, loud, but cheerful & friendly inside. read more

Friendly service and great vibe. Our first time there but will definitely return. Steak sandwich was super yum and everything my family ordered was on point. I'm excited to return! read more
