Woody’s Dewey Beach Bar and Grill

Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan both played this small Delaware beach town venue, and the Bottle and Cork has been booking legends since the 1960s in a room that never got any bigger.

The Lighthouse gives the DC, Baltimore, and Philly weekend crowd exactly what they drove down for, cold drinks and reliable Dewey Beach energy every single summer.

The Bloody Mary bar and Sunday brunch have been a Delaware beach tradition for decades, DC and Baltimore weekenders drive hours specifically for the Starboard’s festive reputation.

Since the 1970s the Rehoboth Bay side has quietly been the best seat in Dewey, calmer water and a deck that has outlasted every trend the ocean-front strip has tried.

Dewey Beach transforms every Memorial Day and does not slow down until Labor Day, and Northbeach pours the cold drinks that make the whole Mid-Atlantic drive hours to be part of it.
