buffalo wings w/ ranch dressing
Rose C.

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!!!

Chips

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 !

I used to frequent the OG Delaneys and randomly was in Westville one Saturday with my girlfriends and decided to stop in. So glad we did. We sat at the bar. Place was busy! Service was fast and friendly. Enjoyed our drinks and will be back again. Ahhh memories.

Spring Mix salad with grilled chicken.
Trixie G.

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

The French Dip Sandwich

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.

Delaney's used to be one of my favorite restaurants when I was in college, they've always had good food and a good selection of beer. I'm glad they came back and the feeling I get is still the same.

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

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!!

New to the area, is this a good place to watch football/sports?

This is a great place to watch all sports! And it helps they are open 7 days a week! The food is really good too!

Pizza is decent, just dont try to modify it. Asked and paid for extra cheese and pepperoni on a…read moretake out pie. Got home no extra cheese or pepperoni. Paid for the extra toppings in good faith that I would not get ripped off, and... got ripped off. Expect to do the staffs job and verify you got what you paid for.

Between Frank Pepe's and BAR, my friend, a Yale student, prefers the latter, and as a mere tourist,…read moreI deferred the decision to her. Man, so glad I did. We arrived on a Monday around peak dinner time, but there was essentially no wait (apparently uncommon according to my friend -- just a delightful consequence of dining at a college town during the summer). We split a medium pizza (1/2 elote mexican street corn and 1/2 bbq brisket), proving to be more than enough for two plus a more than ample amount of leftovers. Recently, I've gravitated toward thinner pizzas, a far cry from the typical Detroit (foccacia-esque) style pizzas I used to prefer, and BAR's pizza is akin to a flatbread yet very thin, another fallen angel to the GLP's. The undercarriage boasts a brilliant crust, almost cracker-like. However, it should be noted that the pizza is indulgent all the same. The elote pizza is quite possibly the most memorable, unique pizza I've ever had; it arrives almost crimson-red with a generous layer of corn and takis atop. It's still incredibly well balanced despite the hodgepodge of varied toppings. It's hard to pick a favorite between this and the bbq brisket though; while one is incredibly unique the other is simply sumptuous, nothing pedestrian about either of the two. The service is also impeccable, almost rivaling that of southern hospitality. I always thought Californians were friendly but something is in the air every time I visit New Haven. Incredible!
