    This place was recommended to me by some friends who live in Wilmington. I was looking for…read moresomewhere to watch NFL games on a Sunday afternoon, and this is walking distance from the SureStay America hotel, where I was staying. I got there around 12:30, and about half of the dozen or so bar seats were taken. There were several tables, but only 2 were occupied. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a Hazy Bones IPA. Pretty good. I also had an Octoberfest beer later on. I noticed 2 coolers full of craft beer selections, in both bottles and cans. The bartender was on the phone for a while with Directv because he was having issues with the Sunday Ticket. It never got resolved, but he said it should be fixed by the following week. They still showed 4 different games. The majority of the customers were Eagles fans, but the bartender was nice enough to put one of the many Tvs on the Pittsburgh/Buffalo game when I told him I'm a Steelers fan. I was grateful he was willing to do that. When my friends arrived, we grabbed a table and watched the game from there. It was a lively atmosphere with lots of fans cheering on their team. My friends complained that the restroom was cold, but I didn't notice. My only complaint is they don't serve food, however I saw a few people bring food they bought elsewhere inside. Kind of cool that they allow that. I saw a jukebox near the restrooms, but because everyone was there for football, no one was playing it. It was a fun afternoon, and despite the fact that some people were rooting for opposing teams, there were no incidents. I enjoyed my time there and if I'm ever back in Delaware, I'd like to return.

    Since it has been redone, it looks like a completely new place! They have spread out high tops and…read morebarstools to accommodate for guests during COVID and do allow use of their pool table still. The drinks are great and the bartender was really great! It was perfect for the non-beer drinker in our group since they had white claws, hard ciders, twisted teas and mixed drinks available for them. FYI: They don't serve food though but they allow you to bring food in which I didn't know. We would've probably stayed longer if they served food but we still enjoyed our time there.

    Probably the best cheesesteak in Delaware. They make their own bread and pack it full of delicious…read moremeat and cheese. There is always a long wait. The down side - they aren't very accommodating when they run out of something. They ran out of rolls on our last visit and refused to allow their cheesesteak to be put on another type of bread (I.e. focaccia, pretzel roll, pizza, etc.) without charging $10 + dollars more just for the swap. They wouldn't even charge less for the cheesesteak without the roll. After waiting an hour to be seated, it was very disappointing not being able to order the meal I came for and nit seeing any flexibility on the part of the management.

    I have always had a great time here, but i usually come for lunch so my review is based on that…read more Staff is amazing. Tracey is one of my favorites. Hes so personable and just fun to talk to. They always have a great beer selection and the wine list is a hidden gem in north wilmington This place really does remind me of growing up, going to get pizza after little league, playing video games with my friends, while the coaches and parents drank at the bar Go grab a pizza, a great beer and play some galaga or burger time. Relive our forgotten childhood memoires as an adult and forget about the stress of the world. Even for just an hour
