It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, and a happy hour in Delaware is calling your name. Start the evening off with light fare at a trendy restaurant, and then let the night take you to your next favorite celebration spot in Delaware. Many fun-seekers head straight for Wilmington’s Trolley Square neighborhood and to the scene along the city’s Riverfront, where everyone knows their next stop is just a stroll away. For casual nights out, consider the smaller venues, so rich with character and charm—try Maker’s Alley , Constitution Yards Beer Garden , Oddity Bar , The Nomad Bar , and the Merchant Bar , an elevated gastrobar with hand-crafted cocktails and a chef-driven menu with fresh ingredients. In always-hip Trolley Square, historic Kelly’s Logan House is revered for its timeworn Irish character, and nearby rivals boast their own appeal, including Kid Shelleen’s , Hummingbird to Mars , and Trolley Tap House . Along Newark’s Main Street , live bands plug in and rock out, but the college crowd gets the evening going at spots like Klondike Kate’s , Grotto Pizza , and Grain Craft Bar + Grill , all ideal for a meal as well. 62
