18 Best Cocktail Bars near Pennsville

The Shipyard Food Trucks • $
60 Main St, Pennsville

“Was always told by friends that this place was worth the 50 min drive , so we gathered up some friends and decided to try it out. Pulling up it's tucked away in a not so desirable part of town but the property is well maintained and sticks out like a sore thumb. Entering the grounds you're met with large firepits and a nice view of the water, making our way into the indoor seating area it's all metal shipping containers, there's a bar and you order your food from an online site and your number comes up and you pick up your food. The service seemed fine, there's wasn't a whole lot of interaction with servicers besides picking up food and walking to the bar for drinks but it was fine no issues there. The food was good, we all basically ordered most of the menu and all kinda of picked from what we wanted, It is however pretty expensive. You can reserve fire pits I believe it was $200 for 4 hrs, my buddy handled that and I can't remember what he said. At the end of the day we had a great time, we played cornhole and watched the boats go by complete with a nice sunset. We will return however it is to far for us to become regulars.“

“We held a private event at Torbert and it was a hit! Jessica was easy to work with and very accommodating during planning. Everyone loved the space and the drinks. We did a combo of food from their regular menu and options from their sister restaurants and it was all delicious! The cost was very comparable to buying out other local spots but our group enjoyed this space more than places we've gone to in the past.“

“The long and short of this review: “Go to THE QUOIN RESTAURANT and you will love everything.”From the courteous reception at the valet stand, to the prompt and friendly service at the Rooftop Lounge, to the extremely welcoming Maître d', to our extraordinary server, to the absolutely fabulous cuisine, everything was not only on point, but consistently exceeded expectations.We started the evening off at the Rooftop Lounge with cocktails. The Rooftop Lounge is a sweet spot to enjoy a pre-dinner drink as well as the afternoon sunshine. Our Rooftop server thoughtfully and efficiently ensured that we enjoyed our cocktails, but also that we were timely on our way downstairs to make our reservation for dinner.For dinner downstairs, we were promptly seated and though originally given a table outside at our own request, when it became a bit chilly, we were happily and quickly seated inside.After cocktails, our delightful server recommended several menu items to be shared. Her spot–on recommendations did not disappoint.We shared and enjoyed the Burratta Piadina and Endive Salad to start things off. Each dish was superb. We then were treated to the Crispy Octopus and the Fettuccine. Again, each dish was simply wonderful. Flavorful. Expertly prepared, beautifully plated. We ended our meal with the Wood Fired Salmon, which was, once again, fantastic.After enjoying an espresso and a cappuccino, respectively, we lingered at our table to soak in and enjoy the atmosphere: the open kitchen, the sleek bar, the friendly bustle of the entire staff working tirelessly and showing their obvious talents. And, as we departed, the affable and cultivated Maître d' personally thanked us by name for dining at the restaurant. Perfect parting words for a perfect dining experience.I highly recommend THE QUOIN RESTAURANT. It’s absolutely outstanding in every conceivably ratable category for dining experiences. Go and enjoy!“

We have our favorites but there's usually something new and delicious to try. We've never had wine there but the beer selection always features quality craft selections and the cocktails are sophisticated and unique. We never feel rushed and the price is reasonable considering the quality. One of our "go-to's."“

“Missed breakfast, but wowed by dinner service and Sam's hospitality!Our stay at The Westin in Delaware started with a slight misstep - we arrived just after the 10 am breakfast cutoff. Disappointed but ready for dinner (starting at 5 pm), we waited eagerly for the doors to open.Upon entering, we were promptly seated and warmly welcomed by Ariana and our server, Sam. Their attentiveness and friendliness immediately impressed us. When I mentioned the lack of a microwave in the room and my desire for the roasted chicken, Sam surprised me by offering to have maintenance bring one! This blew me away, and I happily accepted her offer. My husband, Dr. Angel, opted for the cheeseburger. Both portions were generous, and we couldn't finish them all.The next morning, we enjoyed a delicious in-room breakfast. This Thanksgiving getaway was the perfect blend of relaxation, planning for future business ventures, and indulging in delicious food. While our room and the hotel was very dated, the staff, particularly Sam, were exceptional and made our stay truly memorable. We will definitely be returning to The Westin in the future!“

Our drinks were great.We had Philly rolls, delicious. Onion rings, delicious. For entree I had fish and chips, incredible,! Hubby had the John D burger, fresh and tasty, did not need any condiments. The fries were especially delicious, skin on and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely be back with friends.I wish they had dessert.“

“My wife and I went there for our 33rd anniversary and happened to hit the end of restaurant week. Not only was the food excellent, but it was extremely reasonably priced. We had salads which were both great, our steaks were perfectly cooked, very tasty, and significant sizes, and the desserts were awesome. Great coffee, a nice bottle of California sparkling wine and some very nice Australian Shiraz which we took most of home, rounded out the evening. We will go back. One of the most enjoyable meals out we have had ever.“

“Disappointed. The ambiance wasn't there. Why do you ask ahead if we're celebrating anything? You don't acknowledge it anymore. You used to. It was our anniversary- which I mentioned on reservations. Not even a nod of acknowledgement. The fried calamari were overly overly salty and soggy. And how about a serving spoon for the tuna togarashi? The pieces are pretty small to scoop with a fork. The scallops were magnificent. As was the halibut. We got decaf cappuccino. My husband wanted decaf coffee but you didn't have any - what??? One of us asked for sugar for our cappuccino. The waiter - don't know name cause didn't introduce himself- said “you want sugar with your cappuccino????” Like he was appalled. Not the romantic place we used to go to.“

“My husband and I are fortunate to be able to visit and eat in a lot of different cities, and when we're in Wilmington we go to Le Cav ... we have never been disappointed. Delicious food and cocktails, very good service, beautiful space. It's pricy but worth it. If you are in a rush, don't go. (I've seen mention about the valet, etc. in other posts ... keep in mind that the restaurant is attached to a hotel so the valet, bathrooms, etc. could quite possibly be the responsibility of the hotel and not the restaurant.)“
