Love this place! Our go to Friday night stop. Some good brews and love the specials menu. Food is always good and service is excellent!

First time here was taking out dinner. We are new to the area and this was the BEST meal we have had locally, so far. Everything was scratch made, down to the dressings and dips. The food was packaged properly for takeout and the quality didn't suffer too much. We enjoyed wings, potstickers, burger, and cheesesteak. DELICIOUS. Will 100% be going back here! read more

Definitely a place to go for a beer with friends. Their Belgian White and Irish Reds are my favorite. Can't decide? Try the sampler! To top it all off their food is good! read more

Love the food. Love the burgers. Not a big fan of craft beers but this place has something for everyone. Tuesday nights or Sunday brunch during football season, this is the place to be. Great service and a staff that's always able to accommodate. One of the areas local highlights. read more

They home make their beer. Awesome, I respect that. So since the beer is good, the food should compliment, right? Nope. It was disappointing. We both ordered the mac n cheese skillet. It was Very blah. Bland. No flavor. I almost poured my beer in it to make it take like something. The oil they lacquered the skillet with rose over the "food" and was in every crevice of the dish. I felt like sh** by the time we begged for our check. The manager/owner should spend some time expediting and taste every plate that gets submitted for service. Season your food. read more

The beers is the best around and the monk is my favorite.... Wish it was on tap year round!

I'll start with the positives: 2/3 of the beers we had were very good, not amazing but enjoyable. I had the dunkel and my companion had the pilsner. Both highly drinkable. The pilsner kicked while we were there and my friend switched to a golden ale that was mediocre. Our server was attentive and made good beer recommendations. There was a good crowd of people enjoying themselves for a Tuesday night. The food was standard pub fare but it came out HOT and timely which I appreciate. Those were the good things. The atmosphere definitely leaves much to be desired. It's located in a large suburban shopping center and consists of a large square room with a drop ceiling, no booths and no decor. Sadly, the music was HORRIBLE - top 40/pop. I've been to hundreds of brew pubs across the country and this is the first one I've been to that plays music catered to teenage girls. I know this is Bear and not Philly but I just can't abide such a lack of character. read more

I've been coming to Stewarts for years. . . probably more than a decade. They switch up the menu every so often and tonight was a big change of both their menu and their look since the last time I visited. Fast, good service and the beer is pricy enough to keep the Coors/Miller/Budweiser crowd out of the pub and leave it to the regulars who enjoy some craft brew (made in the next room!). A lot of folks I know call the place "too expensive" but then again, those are the folks that don't drink anywhere there's not that mass-marketed beer served for under $4 a pint. They really don't need to be here, leave it to the beer-lovers and folks like my wife and I who'll pay $10 for a plate of really good cheese and European sausages (I had a really good Scotch Egg tonight) and play a few rounds of Buzztime Trivia. It might be just me, but their IPA is to die for and the Double-IPA is for adults only. We hit the place once a month and it's always a good time with good service, good food, and cold craft beer. read more

Staff is always very friendly and I love that they show soccer games, not just all those other 'ball' sports. Their Highlander Stout is a fav of mine and the food is always delish - we've been here dozens of times and have never been disappointed. We also look forward to their annual events, such as the outdoor beer fest and Super Bowl pig roast. I'm so glad they're part of our community! read more

Went with my wife on a Monday night. Only about 7 tables in the place had people. We sat at the almost entirely empty bar for 5 straight minutes in the quiet restaurant watching the bartender count his money and completely ignore us and avoid eye contact while the waitresses walked by and just looked at us sitting at the bar without so much as a hello or an unfriendly glass of water plonked down in front of us. We left and won't be going back. read more

Wings appetizer and Fish and Chips. No idea what kind of fish that was, but it was delicious. I've been a member of the mug club for years, and even though I live too far south to come regularly, I use every trip north as an excuse to go get my Stewart's fix. Wacky Wheat with lemon is my beer of choice. Friendly bartender and waitresses every visit, and trivia is really fun when they're playing. read more

I'll state up front that this may not be a "proper" review because my friend and I stuck to the cheap happy hour food instead of the regular menu items. Having said that, our food was...meh. I ordered the potato skins, which were your garden-variety skins...nothing special. I also ordered the spicy Thai chili boneless wings, which were a bit better taste-wise, but probably cooked a little too long (as they were more crunch than actual meat). The atmosphere was fine...typical brewpub-restaurant hybrid. There was a giant chalkboard on one wall, listing all the seasonals. There were some TVs tuned into sports channels. There were plenty of tables, and you could see the fermentation tanks through some glass on one side of the restaurant. Service was mediocre. Even though there were only about six people sitting at the bar when we showed up, our bartender disappeared for long periods of time. He seemed friendly enough, but wasn't terribly attentive. Whatever the case, my friend and I were here for one thing: BEER. We'd heard good things about their beer on Yelp, and the bar was set pretty high. We could live with the basic happy hour food offerings as long as the beer was good. We each ordered a flight, and mixed up the seasonals in each so that we could sample as many of their offerings as possible. The verdict? I couldn't believe how watery this beer was. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to some bad batches, but as for what I actually tasted, it was not very good. Some of the pumpkin seasonals were better, and the barleywine had a strong kick to it, but most of what we tried was more typical of a home-brewer still perfecting his technique. I really wanted to like this place, but ultimately, it was a disappointment. read more

I've never had a bad experience in this place. All of the servers that I've had have been helpful w/ the both the beer and food menu. This place always has specials. Half price burgers on Tuesdays are a & every time I've asked them to put on the Sixers or basketball in general, they do. Trust the process. read more

Only negative of the evening is the drink I ordered was lacking the first ingredient THE BEER @ the brewery! So no buzz for me tonight. That was what I drooled about while reading the menu. My waiter was a darling man named Kyle. Personable, friendly, swift, good sense of humor and lastly he was easy on the eyes! I'm so impressed with the service I received on my FIRST VISIT. The food was hot, tasty and plentiful, the good man even suggested a way to save me $ on the app I ordered informing me that it was Happy Hour. Wow it is so refreshing to patronize a place that is flipping awesome in all aspects, as I went to Ruby Tuesday yesterday and left only eating from the salad bar. Dam this is closer and 100% better. Thanks Stewart's, we will be back soon. Sick size 1/2 price burgers nice and charred o crap I'm about to dive into my leftovers. read more

I really want to like this place but after multiple visits, I won't be back. Most recently our server and played a hand in utter disappointment. The nachos were under cheesed and over done. The upcharge for extra pita to accompany our cheese plate was baffling. It was four pieces of pita. While it was nice and warm upon arrival, the added fee felt petty. Perhaps adding a few crackers to a cheese plate in addition to pita would've made more sense. You know, crackers and cheese sort of roll right off the tongue. I ordered a burger which came out well done when I asked for medium rare. Finally we were charged for drinks we did not have but unfortunately didn't figure that out until we had left. The best part of that place is the beer. If you go, sit at the bar and stick to the suds. read more

Always a great time, great selection of craft beers, Nice specials on food. Food is very good.

I have visited twice now. I absolutely love their nachos and have gotten that both times. I'm from SoCal and have found it difficult to find really good nachos with lots of real cheese rather than runny faux cheese whiz. Stewart's doesn't half-ass it! They go hard with their cheese. :) It's a huge portion, too, so it's appropriate to assume there's plenty to share. I get it as a meal and can't finish it. read more

I actually used to work there some 20 years ago, but that does not influence my vote. I am not a fan of micro-brews, which this place has in spades, but the food is absolutely bangin. When I worked here long ago, it was simple pub fare. The menu now is dynamic and diverse. Great atmosphere, and service is good. THE CRAB CAKES ARE THE BEST IN THE STATE (Sorry Matt's Fish Camp - Runner up in my book) read more

We went there for lunch. Each got a beer and we tried a few others in a flight. Enjoyed the variety they had. Calamari was actually one of the best I had which included capers grilled artichoke and banana peppers. I had the beer braised beef over shoestring fries with queso. Serving was very large and fries crispy. Only reason I gave it a four is my fiancé ordered fried oysters. They were greasy and he went to eat one the oyster fell out of the breading. He sent it back and we shared my lunch. We even took a growler home. A little expensive but based on what you get it's worth going back. read more

I'm telling you this is the greatest bar in Delaware! I've been taking friends here for years. It's always fun because they have a great staff, excellent beer variety brewed right there, they have screens for all the sporting events and both darts and shuffleboard. They also have a couple of bar top touch screen games as well as the buzztime games. You'll have a great time here. I recommend the calamari friti (my Italian father in law swears it's the best calamari around) or the chicken nachos. The pin on the Yelp map isn't where the bar is though. It's at Governors Square on Route 40 near the Bear library. read more

See all

Half price burgers are the best Carrot Cake is to die for Great night out with Family and friends read more

This use to be one of my favorite places! The food was awesome UNTIL!!!! I ordered a crab cake which I have ordered many times before, but this last time my crab crab smelled like AMMONIA!!!! Yuck!!! Made me sick to my stomach and when u speak to management they look at you like you lying. Dude there's no reason to lie about a crab cake being bad. You can clearly smell ammonia, no remorse for almost getting food poisoning......nope done with this place! You can keep ur contaminated crab meat. read more

I hate beer, let's get that straight, well I hated beer. Sara introduced me to beer that I could finish and now I love beer so Sara changed my life! The beer at Stewart's Brewing Co is the best in the country, period. I travel periodically and try breweries wherever I'm at and still come back to Delaware ready to get to back to Stewart's Brewing Co!! read more

This is definitely our go-to in the area. The brews are always great. Food is delicious. Love the specials menu, always different things offered. The nachos are huge! Oh...and it's a Steelers bar read more

My husband and I love Stewarts. They always have an interesting selection of beer, their crab dip is fabulous, a diverse sports fan base, and they have shuffle board and darts. The only reason I dropped it a star is because some of their wait staff is not attentive. Overall I love this place. read more

New menu for summer! Join us Wednesday nights for Buzztime Trivia at 7 - 9 PM. The house IPA is exceptional, but there are always new seasonal a in tap. $1 hotdogs during Phillies games. Ask about the Mug Club and take a "Stewie" home. read more

I've been here a couple of times over the past month and both times were wildly different in terms of atmosphere. The first time was during lunch on a weekday; I and the person I was with were two of maybe six people people in this super open-air restaurant, if you count our waiter (I'm not complaining... that just gave me more space to let my gut hang out after the delicious meal). The second time was at around 1:00 on a Sunday in October. Translation: Football fans... and lots of them. It's been a while since I've been in a bar where there are literally fans from at least 12 teams sitting together without a hint of animosity. Maybe it was the amazing beer on tap that united everyone, or maybe it was the recent Ray Rice incident that united everyone against Roger Goodell with a sort of common hatred. Either way, it was an awesome experience. During both of my trips here, the food was amazing. The nachos were to die for, the wild game burgers were excellent, and the beer was top-notch. Especially good was an Oyster Stout - very smooth with just a hint of the nearby coastline infused. Everyone in my party during the second trip loved their food. The waiter was great - very attentive and informative. Don't sleep on this place. The facade is blended into storefronts in a shopping center, but maybe it's that "I don't need to obnoxiously stand out" vibe that brings in so many satisfied customers... at least on Sunday, that is. read more

Great burgers. Excellent service on last visit.

When I was in Leith, I went to the tasting room three different times. I loved the Gnu, and the Elysium. Everyone on my souvenir list got shirts from Stewart Brewing! Best beer in Scotland, hands down, even better than BrewDog! read more

Went here on a Friday night only to find out they now close at 11 pm. So I can't really review this place. Just wanted to let others know who try and go here around that time that their hours changed read more

Great dinner tonight! Still doing take out due to Covid-19. Smoked prime rib and sides were outstanding! Also got a Rye ipa and porter to take home. Both beers were great, just what I hoped for. read more

A nice bar for Bear, DE. Beer selection is a bit limited for a place that has "brew" in the name. The food menu, on the other hand, is impressive. I had their beat salad and ahi tuna with San Diegite beer. Two of those. Very good. Just an idea: some paper towels in the bathroom. Or a hand dryer. Had to use the jeans to wipe my hands. read more

My first time here, and I like it a lot. Great food, great menu selection. I love things like wild boar and elk on the menu. And the beer is great. Luckily for me, it's really close to my sons house, so I will be back! I highly recommend the boar meatloaf. It was quite yummy!!! read more

Open over 20 years, a craft brew with kitchen. 5 house brews available year round with award winning seasonals. Many monitors for sports. Buzztime Trivia system with nationally ranked Wednesday night "trivia club." read more

Went to Stewart's on a Saturday night for a bite to eat and a drink. Food was great. Truffle tots! Delicious! Wings were great. Seasonal beer was awesome. And the special Evil Scarlet marini was very tasty. We had a guest in crutches and from the moment we came in the door the staff was very helpful, seated us right away at a table that would work for us. Our server, Page, definitely made the night for us though. She was very attentive and what a great personality. She helped but making ver good suggestions that we took advantage of, and we loved every one of them. Paige is awesome! Your server is integral to your dining experience and a Paige is a real asset to Srewarts. We'll be back for sure. read more

Stewart's won the World Beer Cup Gold medal for their Kolsch blonde. It must be great as they were out. Instead, I had a great Wacky Wheat ale and the husband a Delcastle Brown ale. Beer masters Ric, Eric, and Al seem to know their stuff. However, what won our hearts was the Maryland style crab soup, a tomato based soup with lots of crab and potatoes. Yum. We also split a great spinach salad with a cherry balsamic vinaigrette. It was the soup that won the 4th star which would probably still be there if we had sampled the Kolsch. read more

This time it was disappointing We have been a couple of times before, and have enjoyed it. This time, we did not. Sat at the bar at lunch-time. Ordered a seafood soup and sandwiches. Plus a couple of beers. The soup was served first. Lukewarm. This is not only a poor service experience but also a food safety concern as seafood can go bad very quickly. I know, because I once experienced severe food poisoning from a seafood chowder that was served at a lukewarm temperature. Tried to get the waiter's attention, which took a while. Soup finally came back; again, lukewarm. No apologies the second time we sent it back. What was supposed to be a relaxing meal ended up being a frustrating experience. No apology. We were charged full price for that lousy soup and service. read more

Stopped here with my boyfriend on the way back home from Maryland to New Jersey. It was Super Bowl Sunday, so our original plan was to get a quick lunch and get back in time to watch the game. Didn't happen. We were so impressed by the food, drinks, and atmosphere that we decided to stay for an embarrassingly long number of hours and watch the game here. I had the Kangaroo Burger with side of veggies and my boyfriend had the Mac'n'cheese with BBQ brisket. Both were very good, but I'd have to say my favorite dish was the order of chipotle wings we got during the game. The flavor was great with just the right amount of spice. Drinks were also great! My boyfriend sampled some of the house brews and I stuck to the specialty drink menu. I'd have to say my top two favorite were the "Not your Uncle's Root Beer" made from the house root beer and the Orange Creamsicle. It was definitely a good choice to stay during the Super Bowl. There was a free box-pool going around offering a $20 gift card to the winners of each quarter, and we ended up winning in the first! Unfortunately, we live a little too far and wouldn't be in the area anytime soon to use the gift card, but we were able to buy 4 beer glasses with it instead. Now we have something to remember it by :) I wish we lived closer, because we would definitely visit this place on a regular basis. read more

Best place to get a quality beer in DE. Great selection of beer with good food. Gotta check it out.

Good food and drinks. They have a nice selection of more unusual dishes. They take what would be a average dish and add their own unique twist. Everyone enjoyed their meal. And our server was very nice. Considering they brew their own beer, it was a bit pricey at $5 a glass. Its nice that Bear (Lil Philly) actually has a decent restaurant. read more
