on April 7th my wife and i went to Stewarts for a meal and a drink. we go there ever so often but this time it did not look busy at all. we where seated and looked at our menu but no one came and offered a drink or any service we noticed some employees sitting so we thought they must be on break. as we looked around there was another employee just standing there watching tv. 20minutes later and not even an offer of a drink or anything. so my wife and i looked at each other still indication of help so we left. also we go there for the Irish red but they are always out of it. read more

Best Mother's Day dinner ever. Our first time here and we were greeted & seated promptly. It was crowded with families for Mother's Day, so we fit right in with our toddler. We never get to go out on a date so this was a real treat for us. Rachel was our server and she was absolutely wonderful!!! She was the epitome of a great server. We will request her each time! We ordered the honey sriracha wings and OMG, they were perfect! Big portions of everything too. My daughter got the mac and cheese kids meal with fries (every kids favorite meal) and it was nice and hot. We got a couple drinks and they were perfectly made. Not too strong or too weak. For our entrees I got the mac & cheese skillet and my husband ordered a "build your own" burger. They were equally, absolutely delicious and I was just blown away with how good our entire experience was. It capped off the perfect Mother's Day evening for my family and I would recommend and come here again and again! These guys know what they're doing at Stewart's Brewing Co! read more

I go here about once every two years. And I've been going here for over ten years. They have some great standard beers. But they always have some new beers to try as well. There is a full bar menu and the food is also good. read more

Our Bartender has been here 24 years (since Stewart's opened!!). Everything he recommended we ordered - from the beers to the food, it all tasted amazing! I have never seen so much crab in a crab cake ----EVER! Great service and conversation, delicious food, house wine - only 6 bucks!!- their house Chardonnay is Lindemans and it's really good. Looking forward to many more visits here! read more

The beer is as I remember. The food has been updated and was very good. My craft brew palette started here in 1999 and keeps growing. The staff was friendly and offered many suggestions based of of our tastes. The remodeling they did kind of surprise me as the lost a large dining room but the place is still great and the changing menu will always leave you with something to try. I had the alligator when I visited and it was fantastic. Very moist and tender even for being fried. read more

I come here for the wild game burger. It changes weekly. It could be bison. It could be wild boar. I even heard that camel was once on the menu. This is the spot to be if you like pub food, craft beer, and a pub environment. Every time I go here, I think to myself, "I should come here more often". Unfortunately life gets in the way. If you haven't been here before, please give them a shot. read more

Went in on a slow Sunday and was seated. No one acknowledged me or tried to at a minimum take my drink order. One server came out and delivered drinks to a table, loony way and went on about their business. I can't tell you how the food tasted because the customer service was so poor I left. read more

This is my favorite brewpub in the area. They're really good about COVID guidelines too. I'm pretty much going down the kind trying all their wings flavors, but I also really like their burgers. They've got a solid beer lineup too. I prefer their darker beers to their IPAs, though I found the Irish red to be their best. It's a great local spot to watch a gene and have a pint. read more

Yum! Very relaxed atmosphere, was able to hang out and get some work done (they are Wifi) with no pressure to keep ordering anything. This is a quality micro-brewery (yes it's in a strip mall) with some nice mature, award winning brews. Nothing watery or tasted like they had just flushed the lines with Lysol. Tried the "Lockjaw DOUBLE IPA"- oh it's a mouth full of hops, finished with the "Drunken Monk", their version of a Belgian Triple. Very well done. Was here on a Tueday, 1/2 price burger night. Had a mushroom/Swiss, tasty stuff. Friendly/helpful staff. You can see their menu, current brews and specials here: http://www.stewartsbrewingcompany.com/ Hope to pass thru here again! read more

I love burgers especially burgers of the exotic kind! Had the kangaroo burger today and it was absolutely bangin'. Cooked to medium and it was pure awesomeness in my mouth. This was my first time having kangaroo and it will most definitely not be my last. Great customer service too. read more

Stewart's has redeemed itself from our first visit. The kitchen is open late and the bartenders are friendly and always wait on us right away. We left Shellhammers to come here instead one night because we weren't getting service there and we knew we would here. read more

I love going to Stewarts with friends for a good brew. It is a great late-night spot as they serve drinks and food until 1am (state law for liquor) every night of the week. They brew an awesome selection of beers there. My absolute favorite is the Wind Blown Blond Kolsch, which won a gold medal at the World Beer Cup in '08. They only brew that a couple times a year and I always look forward to it. They sell beer samplers so if you want to try a little taste of all their beers you can do that. Their Wacky Wheat and Irish Red Ale are my favorites of their standard beers. It is a fabulous spot for playing Buzztime trivia and there is some good competition there. They also have tons of TVs and some touchscreen games on the bar. There is a lot of seating and I've seen plenty of families eating there during the dinner hours. The food is generally really good. The only negative is that I think some of their items are overpriced. One time I tried these Rosemary Shrimp Skewers and paid close the $10 for only 4 huge shrimp. But overall their food is great quality for pub food. They have amazing Beer Queso Dip. They serve different soups everyday and I think their soups are excellent, especially the Maryland Crap Soup. They also have good desserts including ice cream from a local creamery made with Stewart's Highlander Stout. Thursday night is Ladies Night and drinks are super cheap ($2.50 for beer, wine, and mixed drinks!!!) for the ladies! read more

Stewart's Brewing - Wind Blown Blonde Kolsch. My favorite beer ever. - Brewpubs Near Me - Bear, Delaware

The best wings you'll ever eat! Really good food and really good vibe . The best happy hour!

The service wasn't the best-- our waitress was no where to be found and I had to ask for a glass of water three times before it was delivered. Their beer is okay, if you're looking for a small brewery experience. The zucchini crab cakes are pretty good, but crab soup tastes like minestrone. If you want for a dive bar feel, look no further. read more

I went to this brewpub on a Saturday for a Where's George gathering. Usually, I'm not a fan of brewpubs or any establishment with "brew", "brewing", "tavern", or "pub" in the name. I don't drink and the fare is typically what I can find at a regular greasy spoon for less money. However, I'm willing to give anything a try. The parking area was a bit confusing because of the way the dividers and one-way lanes were arranged but there was more than adequate parking for a Saturday. Inside the restaurant, the ambiance was comfortable. The restroom seemed clean enough too. I had a chicken cheesesteak, which was unremarkable for the price level. There were two things I was unhappy about. Firstly, the server offered onion rings as the side for the cheesesteak but failed to tell me that this option costs extra. That's my biggest pet peeve with sit-down restaurants, especially non-chain restaurants that often fail to disclose all charges beforehand. Secondly, I had to leave before the rest of the group and asked for the check to be split so I could settle early. I watched the server punch in this request and it took only two button pushes on the touchscreen POS. Why then did they only do that grudgingly? Was that so difficult? I thought the food wasn't quite worth the money either but I'd have given them an average rating if it were not for those two service issues. As it stands, I wouldn't consider going back even if the Where's George gathering is held here again next year. read more

Had prime dip. It was delicious, roll was so soft and mouth watering, meat and cheese were fantastic and the dip was what made the meal exceptional. Had Caesar salad which also was great. My companion had brisket sandwich with Russian dressing which she loved. The margarita that I ordered w reposado tequila was not worth it however read more

Highlander stout is smooth it's nice. Had the two ice cream coffee flavored ones which was really good. I'd rate this place 3.8. Nice place. Somewhat friendly bartender. Add the highlander stout to your coffee ice cream. Yea it was awesome. Serious. read more

Great food, service is decent, a little more upscale than your average pub. Great for lunch/dinner out with the wife, and the beers are on point! read more

Stopped in here as the start of our birthday brew tour for my husband. We were not disappointed! We shared a flight of 4 different beers - 3 seasonal and the stout - all were well developed in body and appearance. TT was are bartender and she was a delight! We asked her where we should not miss while we were in town and she gave us some do not miss breweries & distilleries in DE. (Thanks TT!) We didn't eat during this stop but we will definitely be back! Beer/ Service read more

Meh, not a fan. Driving around Delaware for a Sunday Funday. Beers were ok to good (and some of the better we had today). They were not especially true to style tho. Service was pretty good, nothing bad, nothing steller. Food? Not great. Zucchini fritters had a weird, gluey texture. Not planning a return trip. read more

The best crab cake sandwich hands down! And their fries are seasoned and great as well

We only had a couple of their beers but they were very good. We had the pumpkin, stout, and barley wine; all of which were very good and we would definitely order them again. I won't lie, when we see a sports bar atmosphere we definitely worry about their beers. At Stewart's the beers were very good, it was the food that needed a little more attention. Portions were good but it was kind of standard barfood. The onion rings were very good but the rest was just not that exciting. If we lived in the area we probably would not go back but we would buy their beers if they bottled. read more

Stewart's Brewing - Very good beers, it was just the food that needed a little more time. - Brewpubs Near Me - Bear, Delaware

Great, relatively standard brewpub. Good quality pub food. Burgers and sandwiches are ON POINT. No matter what you order, it's in your best interest to get a side of the "Boom Boom" sauce. Pretty unique, homemade taste. The beers are solid, sufficient. I appreciate the expected, core group of beers, with the rotating seasonal selection. Nothing particularly unique, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Stopped here for a sample and appetizer while house hunting from out of town. Right down the road from my air b&b. Sat at the bar and tried a few of their IPA's and the buffalo cauliflower. So good! Will be coming back when I move read more

Stewart's never disappoints . The food no Matter what we order , is always on point and the employees are always friendly and if food is delayed they don't ignore you and pretend you are not there, they apologize and ensures you food will be soon. I do not mind waiting for their service is always great! read more

Tried the crab dip, really good! And I also had the orange crushable v2.3 and it was also really good overall good experience, interior could use a little revamping though read more

Awesome place great service...great beer, one of the best crab cakes I've had in a while. More crab than cake;). Stout ice cream is to die for. read more

I've been to Stewart's almost weekly since Our friends first invited us last year. We loved it so much that we shared with all our friends to come to Delaware it was worth the drive. we would drive up to 14 hours coming back from Flordia and our plans were to get to Stewart's for dinner. However the last three visits have been disappointing to say the least. First I must say The staff is friendly for most part except one afternoon a few months ago the bar tender women was a bit condescending towards me and I didn't understand why, I did my best to be polite in spite of her attitude. My salmon and Cesar was delicious. I would give Stewart's a five star they're a 3 because the food doesn't have consistency Lately. My favorite has always been the blacken Salmon and veggies plus Caesar salad, today at lunch my salmon wasn't cooked and the Cesar's salad wasn't crispy lettuce it was wilted. I sent it back and it wasn't good at all anyways paid our bill, try it on weekends it's maybe the chefs are better then weekdays. It's worth a try ... read more

While visiting the area we came in a couple times and I have to say they deserve at least 10 stars!! From the young lady who showed us to our table, to the waiter, to the AMAZING food everything was perfect. read more

If you want to go out of business, they are certainly doing a good job at not cooking the food that is ordered and do not get the order right. Ordered cheeseburgers done medium. We got that them almost raw. This was a second chance and we are done with this business. read more

My favorite brewery! The beers are creative. I love football Sundays; they offer brunch and have all the games on the tvs. So fun

I went to this pub was seated quickly however waited 20 mins NOBODY came to the table to serve us. They all were busy talking and looking out the window. I even sat with my menu up so they could see I was waiting for ANYONE to come to the table but NOPE nothing. The hostess has 2 long conversations with the table next to is but still never asked us if anyone came to the table to help us. Amazing!!! We ended up walking out read more

Tried this place out based on hotel clerk's recommendation. The location is in a strip plaza, which made it kind of hard to find. Upon entering, I was accosted by a loud wall of noise and a lot of commotion.From my table I spotted at least seven televisions. And there were several games around the room also. If I hadn't been so tired, I might have just turned around and left. One really does need to be in the mood for a noisy bar! But I decided to stay... i'm glad I did. Though the primary items on the menu were mostly sandwich in style, I was able to find a full meal. I tried the roast pork, which was served with redskin mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. The food was actually pretty good. I understand that their burgers are excellent. Perhaps next time I'll try one. My server informed me that their beer selection was on two lists. One list was seasonal, the other was their standard list. Being mostly a lager drinker and a white beer drinker, I was disappointed when she told me that they were out of the lager and the white beer! She was actually pretty good about asking me the kinds of beers that I usually enjoy... So based on that, she actually brought me tastes of two different ones: a dark Belgian and an IPA. They both were excellent! So that made it difficult to choose. However, I did select the IPA... And was not disappointed. My three-star rating is probably a bit harsh... But that's because this is the kind of place you really need to be in the mood for in order to enjoy it! The loud music, the conversational commotion of lots of younger people ( 20s to 30s), The seven different televisions blaring sports information, and the games around the room, all do really add up to a very intense and loud experience! Though the restaurant's food and beer are both nice, I decided to withhold two stars simply to make sure that people are understanding what it is they walk into when they arrive. read more

Stewart's is a great place to come with family or friends to relax, eat some good old pub food & drink brews. I come here with my family whenever I am in town. It has a nice, sports pub-y atmosphere but it doesn't feel dirty the way some restaurant/bars do who cater to sports fans. We usually sit at the high tops in the bar section so we can play trivia. The trivia is one of my favorite things about Stewart's! A lot of people play so there is good competition. Sometimes the bartenders or the owner will lead special rounds and give away free beer tokens! It is a lot of fun. My only critique of Stewart's is that sometimes the service is slow. But not every time and it seems quicker in the dining room (not near the bar). The food is always good - I usually get a burger, sandwich or a salad. They have a great rotation of food and beer specials. We usually kick it off with the soft pretzels and mustard, which are very tasty. I would recommend: the woot burger, oopie basket, Bahn pita, Caprese sandwich & the Mac and cheese, to name a few of our faves. The beer is also very good and very unique! They have some really fun seasonal and rotating drafts. The Wind Blown Blonde and the Wacky Wheat are my go-to's. Grab your family and friends and go to Stewart's for a good meal of comfort foods & quality beer at a decent price. read more

Must say, I really really like this place. The bf and I had off on a random monday, and decided that dogfish was too far away, and that we've been to victory too many times, and once saw an ad for this place in some beer mag, so we were going to try it out. Now, getting there is a complete experience. We were going every which way trying to find this place!!! But, like all good things, we were thrilled when we finally found it. Walked in and found a great spot at the bar. The bartender on duty couldn't have been nicer. We grabbed a few beers and ordered some food. Both were great! We then got a growler to go, and the bartender again went above and beyond. She cleaned the entire thing out and wahooo! a clean growler with a few drops of raspberry flavoring to our wheat beer! YUM! have to say I can't wait to go back! Congrats Stewarts! read more

Love this place! Our go to Friday night stop. Some good brews and love the specials menu. Food is always good and service is excellent!

First time here was taking out dinner. We are new to the area and this was the BEST meal we have had locally, so far. Everything was scratch made, down to the dressings and dips. The food was packaged properly for takeout and the quality didn't suffer too much. We enjoyed wings, potstickers, burger, and cheesesteak. DELICIOUS. Will 100% be going back here! read more

Love the food. Love the burgers. Not a big fan of craft beers but this place has something for everyone. Tuesday nights or Sunday brunch during football season, this is the place to be. Great service and a staff that's always able to accommodate. One of the areas local highlights. read more

Been coming here for over than 14 years. The beer has been AWESOME! I moved to Delaware from Washington State (the Motherland of Micro Brew) on a job transfer and thought Delaware could not produce a decent Micro Brew. My neighbor recommended Stewart's as a great place to get a great beer and a burger. The staff is exceptional and the beers they put out are great. Excellent variety and the food specials are great on top of their outstanding menu. I've seen a couple reviews of petty stuff and had to finally write a review. read more

I would say I have been a "regular" at Stewart's for about four years (we go at least 3-4 times/month), and although the place has changed quite a bit over the last year, it's still my go-to restaurant for happy hour, dinner with friends, or just a night out with my boyfriend. We were incredibly disappointed when the banquet section of the restaurant was closed, the shuffleboard removed, and the fries (the fries!!!!) were changed. However, the fries are back (woohoo! they seriously are the BEST) and we've gotten used to most of the changes. The only thing we now have to keep in mind is that there WILL be a wait for dinner on the weekends. The beer is consistently good. Their Highlander Stout (house) is one of my favorite stouts of all time. They rotate a game burger each week which is a good opportunity to try different meats (kangaroo, antelope, bison, etc.). Their new happy hour specials are a good deal, though I am rarely there early enough to enjoy it. They have the BEST crab dip! Also, their crab cake sandwich is probably the best deal on the menu - it's loaded with crab meat and doesn't have a ton of filler, plus fries. Every Tuesday is $5 burger night! I've never had a bad experience with a server or bartender here. Stewart's is good for groups of 6-8 if it's not prime time (at which point you will be waiting for an hour+) and for a brewpub, it's relatively kid-friendly. read more
