Bottle & Cork

Bottle and Cork offers a quintessential American Dewey Beach experience. Both locals and tourists rave about this lively spot as the go-to place for weekend fun. The venue is buzzing with energy, reminiscent of a "battle of the bands" with its vibrant live music scene.

Upon arrival, there's a $10 per person cover charge, which is conveniently offset by a complimentary beer or hard seltzer. This upfront fee is well worth it. The service is impressive, with waitresses in distinctive hello shoes circulating with buckets of canned drinks, making it easy to enjoy more beverages without needing to wait at the bar.

Overall, Bottle and Cork embodies the classic beach town bar vibe, making it a must-visit if you're new to Dewey Beach. It’s an excellent choice for a fun night out with great music and a lively atmosphere.

I decided last minute to come down from PA for a show in mid-June. It was hot but not too hot. The venue is covered but somewhat open so it’s like being at an amphitheater sort of. The sound was great. The performers were awesome. This is a cool small venue to see a live performance. The ticket price was very reasonable and the service fee was minimal. It’s all standing room general admission so if you don’t like being near people and being in a cramped space with sweaty individuals you should reconsider and find a ticket at a theater with seats. Otherwise, come enjoy a live show! I was surprised at the number of people who were trying to have conversations instead of watching the band. I overheard a couple women standing in front of me discussing an upcoming yard sale. I had to move to another spot because that was a bit annoying but you find that anywhere, nothing against the venue. There are bars inside so you can get drinks but I don’t know about food. There’s several restaurants nearby so I’d eat before you go. I left during the last song and I could hear the band for about 2 blocks while walking back to the hotel. There was an attendant in the women’s restroom so they were mostly clean. Parking in Dewey is limited if you are coming into town just for the show. You maybe want to Uber or take the trolley from Rehoboth if it’s running. If you have a room in town you can walk.

The most iconic "Beach Club"! You can just FEEL the history. Some of the greatest musicians have played here.
