Rehoboth Beach other than DFH

Across the steet there is Finns great tap selection and good food. The Pig and
Fish have good brews Zoggs was a good spot and a trolly ride into
Dewey there is Garys that a nice tap selection.

 

Ive had great beers at Henelopen City Oyster House. https://untappd.com/venue/3966

 

If you're driving down through DE from NJ, State Line Liquors is a 20 minute detour round trip and the best that a liquor store in MD could be (which makes it better than the best in DE). Not really in your path if you're taking the ferry though.

I've never seen Alewerks or Prairie on the shelf in either state, but Two Stones Pub in northern DE has had Bomb! in the past.

 

@benz08 Thrasher's French Fries on the board walk are pretty famous, and I think worth the hype. I like them with a little malt vinegar.

 

Henelopen CITY oyster house is fantastic... GO!

Bottle shops are mostly about all the same all on Rt. 1. You can check Atlantic Liquors, Outlet Liquors, also Cape Wine just outside in Lewes... those are plenty of bottle options.

Get Ice Cream at the Ice Cream Store.
There's a good crepe place in one of the alleys but it gets busy
The Bake Shoppe is not bad for some morning pastries and baked goods

 

Henlopen City Oyster House is the correct answer here. Pickled Pig Pub on rt. 1 is another solid choice.

There is a plethora of great food in Rehoboth - it's an eating town. As far as late night, Arena's in rehoboth is good for late night sandwiches. If you're looking for specific food options I can steer you in the right direction.

You won't find Prarie on shelves.

 

Stingray sushi is open late, and has a fine selection of sake'.

 

I agree with everyone about Henlopen City Oyster House. It was excellent for food and beer. Could be a problem if you hate teku glasses, though.
We had breakfast at a little diner-type place on the same street as DFH, about a block or two from the ocean. It wasn't anything unique, but a serviceable breakfast.

 

If you want a fine dinner, go to my friend's restaurant, the Bramble and Brine. Great cocktails and amazing food.

 

Helopen City Oyster House. Boardwalk food is not good. Restaurants on Baltimore Ave. and Wilmington Avenue.

 

Liquor store-wise, Atlantic Liquors on Rt. 1 is where I always stop just to see whats there, over the years what they have there and we have here in NJ has become more and more similar.. Apart from DFH in the Rehoboth Ave area, Arena's has a good bottle selection and good sandwiches (and good margaritas), Henlopen City Oyster House has a really good beer selection has a rotating selection on cask (my wife and I don't even eat seafood and we always stop there for a cheese board and cask beers, last summer had Troegs Flying Mouflan on cask there and it was awesome).. Also food-wise, Dos Locos on Rehoboth ave is great for stone-grilled Mexican and margaritas. You must try Thrashers fries while there. And honestly, if you are willing to have a slightly early or late dinner, the food at DFH is pretty good and the wait shouldn't be too bad, so its worth trying to eat there one night, or at least have lunch there. Another good place for lunch is The Green Man which has mostly wraps and brunch-type stuff. Additionally, theres a place on the boardwalk called Obie's which has good mixed drinks and is one of the places that stays open latest (like 2 or 3 am, whereas Dogfish closes at midnight I think). If you are going to be there a few nights it may also be worth checking places in Lewes, there is a restaurant there called Kindle which we recently discovered and loved (which is right by where DFH said they would be opening a hotel)..

 

I strongly think that Mariachi on Wilmington Ave is vastly superior to Dos Locos for Mexican food. The food is excellent, and if the weather's nice, the 2nd floor porch can't be beat. I also think Louie's fries are better than Thrasher's, and if you like ketchup on your fries, Thrasher's won't help you.

Bramble & Brine is delicious, and they have a small, but interesting bottle list.

That's the Peter Pan diner. It's exactly how you described it.

 

I was at Henelopen on Saturday night, had a 750 ml bottle of 2010 Cantillon Lou Pepe Gueuze for $22 drink in. We had a 375 ml of regular Cantillon Kriek, too. I love that place, it's a must stop every time I visit the beach.

 

WHY did I not know about this! Dang! (not that you went there, but that they had Cantillon!)

 

Their Cantillon bottles are not on the menu... you must ask!

 

I shall ask next time I go! Wonder if they always have some in stock?
