Stopped in for lunch and a flight with family. Nice place, great food (I had the beef on weck) and it's cool that they have taproom-only brews to help keep a flight interesting for those who have had the standards.

Great place to finish what you started after touring the DFH Brewery. One-off beers, great selection of DFH brews, real good pub grub and service. Good luck parking.

Downtown Rehoboth Beach restaurant/bar owned and operated by Dogfish Head. Good pub fare, large bar, great beer of course, and a Jumbo screen for the games.

The OG Dogfish Head location in Rehoboth, I remember when the bottles said Rehoboth instead of Milton. Obviously it's a lot different than it would have been back then. Still a great beer geek pilgrimage site. Beer is great, as you'd expect. Service is very good. Selection is a bit better at the brewery itself just north in Milton DE, but seems to be somewhat different in both places, necessitating a visit to both, which is also an excuse to go to both on each trip to the area.
There was a big list of exclusives on my last visit. Although there are Rehoboth exclusive releases in the gift shop so be aware of that. Food was top notch brewpub fare. There's a fancier Dogfish Head restaurant right next door if that's what you're looking for.

Very positive experience all around. The place was spotless, the service was friendly and knowledgeable, the food was great and the beer was exceptional. Even the gift store/bottle shop next door was well stocked and professionally run. Ordered some real winners off the Brewpub Exclusive beer menu, including the 'Covered In Nuggs' IPA that I fell in love with and a really good Pilsner called the Blue Hen.
Any visit to Rehoboth should include this welcoming spot. Even better than the original pub.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Food is excellent and a great kids menu. All the beers you love and brewpub exclusives. Service is always phenomenal and very reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong stopping by this place.

Visited on a Monday off season/early season. Similar to other DFH restaurants. Sat at a barrel/window table which was nice. The place is very open and looks like it could handle many more tables.
Our server was nice and attentive. Knew the beer even though she was not necessarily a big fan of the Utopias barre aged 120 minute.
Can’t argue quality when the glass is clean and the correct type and you’re only 15 minutes from the mothership brewery.
A little disappointed in the selection. Not enough classic DFH brews on tap. But there are some tap room exclusives.
Food was good. Nothing that should dissuade a visit.

Yes, they didn’t have the stout on the website, but after having driven through 7 states to get here, it was worth it!

Had a fun time here, great vibe and the food was awesome. Beers were tasty and some in house select items to try. Would recommend for sure and will go back when in town.

I really enjoyed the meal here. We were able to eat dinner and then stick around for live music and another drink. Service was very good, though our person was less attentive towards the end of the meal. Beer selection was solid of course. I appreciate that they had a few things not available at the brewery. Food was great and they have a wide selection of options.

Overall a great place to sample and eat. Gets very busy in the summer around dinner time. Newly remodeled to give more seating area outside. They reduced the size of the merchandise store next door to make more seating area outside. Nice!

There isn't much that I can say in a review about this brewery that hasn't been said in previous reviews, except that they are now moved into the new pub, just next door from the old location that is now the merchandise shop. We enjoyed the vibe in this new pub, and service was very good on a Wednesday just after the lunch crowd.
There were 19 beers on tap plus a cask offering, and we chose two, 4-glass samplers so that we could try a wide variety. All of them were very good, and overall we gave a B+ grade to them. The exceptional one was the BBA Olde School Barleywine, but notables included Indian Brown, Carobock, and Oak-aged Vanilla World Wide Stout. (We also really liked the Indian Brown when we toured the brewery in Milton the next day.)
The food menu is not extensive, but it has enough choices so that anyone should be able to find something. We really enjoyed what we ordered, and even gave a food score that was higher than our overall score for the beers. If you are anywhere nearby Rehoboth Beach, do stop here for a treat.

Right on the boardwalky-type ocean area that's not really a boardwalk but still has all the stuff you'd find on a boardwalk. They've just opened a new, very large restaurant facility right next door to the old pub, which is now a shop.
The decor looks like it came out of a box labeled "Premade 2017 Middlebrow Restaurant." It's woody, there's edison bulbs, TV, medium-strength light, low ambient noise. It's pleasant enough but doesn't have much character to it.
The beer is Dogfish Head beer. It's good.
The food kind of sucked.
The service was meh but they were incredibly busy for a Monday so they were a little under-staffed.
Overall, stop by if you're in town. But probably not worth traveling for.

Great food and fresh brews. They have a spacious bar and a big dining area. 2nd floor loft with tables and room for live bands. Its also kid friendly.
