Star Wars is superior to sports. Drinks at Constitution Yard on a Sunday beats all!
Daryl P.

Great spot in the city with sand, good vibes, chilled chairs and great drinks why not spend a Sunday here!

Beer and cider

This is a fun and unique place to come down by the riverfront for some food, drinks, games, and live entertainment. They have a lot of activities going on, such as cornhole, axe throwing, and live music depending on the night. Also keep in mind: if you want to go axe throwing, make sure you wear closed toes shoes or else they won't allow you. The service here is great, and it's in a really nice spot near the water. I can't wait to come back here!

Constitution Yards is how you'd hope Wilmington would be perceived and experienced, especially on a warm spring evening. It's spacious, safe, clean and has one of the best vibes you can find in the area. To top it off? They pour some absolutely amazing beers -- the "best of" microbrews. Your biggest problem will be choosing which one to splurge way too much money on for a pitcher or two to share with friends. They also serve food and have a text service to let you know when it's ready so you can get back to your friends while ensuring your order is fresh and hot! Great for large or small groups and since it's outside it is very Covid friendly. Also great for those who want to bring their kids OR those who want to leave them at home. They have a variety of games available and the space is broken up into several different areas to let you choose your crowd. Bathrooms were clean, even though they are in an outdoor trailer. They had the Phils playing on the tv while I was there - think an opportunity for improvement might be to add just a few more TVs to really kick this spot up a notch in the sports division. That's probably my only constructive feedback. Go.

Really cool Beer Garden, right on the Wilmington Riverfront. They offer Beers on draft and cans, and other tasty alcoholic beverages. Tables for groups to sit outside some with umbrellas. Some of the attractions include; cornhole, a huge beach chair , axe throwing. Huge flat screen tv to catch the game. There is a sand pit for the kids. Great spot to hang in the Summer and Spring with your friends. I would definitely go back. If in the area go check it out.

I met some friends at Constitution Yards for a Saturday night hangout. I arrived around 7:30 and the scene was already crowded. The setting is certainly unique; sand, wooden planks, concrete, tables and chairs scattered throughout, Christmas lights, live music, and much more. There was a fair mix of people, from young children to adults, and a handful of obedient dogs having a good time. I ordered a few beers, a soft pretzel, and chicken fingers. The beer selection is extensive and the prices are more than reasonable. The pretzel was a little weird given the placement of salt (refer to picture), but it's a minor issue. The chicken fingers (fortunately) tasted like chicken, so no complaints there. Overall, the quality is on par with typical bar food. The one thing that bothered me was the wait to get food and drinks. When I ordered food, the guys behind the counter seemed confused with every order, whether it was an issue with the order number, the accuracy of the order itself, or some other reason. Hopefully they can streamline their processes to reduce the wait time. I had a great time and I plan to return in the near future!

I was very pleasantly surprised by this new feature at the Wilmington riverfront. I used to live in Wilmo and bemoaned the lack of cool hangouts. Came on a pretty Friday evening for the opening night of Dave Bromberg's Big Noise Festival. They had an area roped off for people who had paid for the concert but everyone else could just eat, drink and socialize among picnic tables. There were nice entertainment options...cornhole and other games, and sandlots for kids to play in. The kids were having a blast. People brought their dogs. It was so great seeing people interact rather than looking at their phones. It's right on the Christina River and is very attractive. Food is only OK. There's just one food venue and I would describe it as fair. Burgers, salads, a Vietnamese sausage thing, hummus, etc. More choices needed or food trucks. Full bar. The bathrooms are in those trailer things but adequate. The stage had pretty good sound. They had a roped off VIP area for people who paid more but there was no advantage to doing that as the regular paying people stood just as close. Unfortunately the show ended shortly after 10 as Wilmington has an early ending for outside shows. There are mostly restaurants, office buildings, and the Blue Rocks stadium here so I'm not sure why that is.

Let's be real here. Food could be described as "carnival food," should not be compared to "pub fare," and rates 3/5 at best. However, the entertainment potential at Constitution Yards is absolutely a 5/5 and honestly, if you choose to go to a beer garden expecting haute cuisine, then shame on you and what are you doing in Wilmington, Delaware anyway? This was not my first visit, only my first review. So strap in, folx, and here we go: THE GREAT: man, the freaking entertainment. They have free cornhole. Axe throwing (only place in northern, possibly all of, DE that offers this). River view from the garden. Sand lot with toys for the kids or adult kids. HELL, even skee ball, air hockey, a few other arcade games (bring quarters for these). A giant wooden lawn chair perfect for photo ops. Serious 5/5 in this department. THE GOOD: Beer/alcohol selection. It's varied, they have the seltzers, local dogfish, tallboys, taps and cans. Another noteworthy in this section is the trailer bathrooms, which don't sound enticing except this is a 100% open air venue except for those amenities, which I believe are even AC, so what is the alternative? Portapotties, and no thanks to those. For an open air venue the bathroom solution is commendable. THE KINDA UGLY: look, shame on you if you go to an open air beer garden for the food. But if you do, yeah you won't be totally happy. This most recent time I was part of a very large group so I got to take pictures of many options and sample several of those. Here's a summation. The salad: CBY should do itself a favor and stop calling these salads. It sets up a false expectation of health. There was nothing healthy about my "salad," more like several pumps of thousand island dressing and oversized wantons. The fries: waffle, a plus. Barely seasoned, a minus. The burgers: huge. The vegetarian burgers: also nicely sized. Sriracha onion rings: beautiful color, not too spicy, would recommend!

Ask the Community - Constitution Yards

When do they close for the summer season?

I don't believe they actually close for the season. They convert the facility to winter mode and add an ice skating rink in place of the sand. We've been there at holiday time and there were decorated trees. All the usual food/beverages were still… 

Is there an age requirement to visit?

Anyone is welcome! I've seen kids there, there are sandboxes to play

Are they closed for the winter?

Ash, We reopen for our 4th season at the end of April, and we hope to see you then!

My partner and I enjoyed our time at Shipbottom brewery at Linvilla Orchards. The brewery was…read morepretty big and there were plenty of seating even on a busy fall day. We specifically stopped by to try their seasonal October beer called Ecto Ghouler. It was very orangey! Almost as if this beer were a mimosa. It was a little too citrusy for my preference but it was a fun drink. Maybe if you love orange juice you'll like this. We also tried their hard apple cider which was delicious - reminded me of apple pie. Overall the beers were good, the venue was spacious, and the pumpkin patch was cute! I'd definitely come back

We returned to Linvilla for the apple season & found out Ship Bottom has opened a beer garden on…read moresite. We went on a Sat, weekend hours open at 12 but the owner of the brewery gave us the insider news they'll be opening earlier on Sundays for brunch! Walk down the stairs from the food vendor area outside of the general store and you'll find the brewery tucked down in its own private area. Connect4, jenga, bag toss, etc all around to occupy your time. A wine / sangria bar was set up from a local winery and the taps from SB were flowing on the other side. The area is fun and brings a beach vibe to the farm. Music wasn't too loud and there are plenty of spots to sit. Table seating is communal, each has a spot for an umbrella if you prefer shade. We had a great time & a few very good beers. We brought food down from the food vendor area and camped out for an hour or so. Even my almost 3yo was occupied with the games and another kid hanging out. Super fun. Plan to go back soon. This was such a much needed addition to Linvilla we hope they intend to stay.

This is a great location that incorporates an indoor restaurant and bar with an expansive outdoor…read moreseating area. Perfect for meeting friends having a gathering we're just having dinner on a business trip. There's an above average beer offering as well as a full bar. I chose to have an old-fashioned with my meal. There's a large selection of shareable's and I chose the crab dip and it was nicely done. There's five or six flatbread pizzas to choose from a nice offering of salads as well as sandwiches, and four entrées, consisting of mac & cheese, fish and chips, muscles, pork cutlet. I always enjoy Reuben so I took their twist of a Reuben cheesesteak on a pretzel hoagie, which was nice and soft and a fun twist on a Reuben. If you're local, I think it's a great location to meet friends and have a beer after work if you're traveling like myself it's a great option versus the standard national brands.

Great place for a drink or wings which I got during football sunday with the local Eagles playing…read more Sundays have $10 wings with $1 discount with each touchdown by the Birds. Stopped in for the first time love the rustic feel of the tall wooden roof and long bar for games or more quieter sections for dinners or dates. The service was quick, efficient and friendly with the staff running me through the daily and football specials, suggestions on good drafts like their Lukr, a more foamy pour in their 20oz. Mugs for $8.00 with their house New Trail pilsner or Forest & Main lagers. For a short drive out of DE you'll find this quiet, quant restaurant this is loud, fun and welcoming inside. Can't wait to see how the summer is here with plenty of outdoor space for this bierhaul! Cheers!
