Going to Delaware bar is a trend that will never go away. The best bars in America have an inviting feeling, and whether they’re upscale or totally downhome, you just want to go there and chill. If you travel around America, you’ll find a ton of awesome, locally-owned bars with their own native flavor. Now, the experts at Esquire magazine have researched bars throughout the U.S. to determine the best bars in America. If you’re looking to get your drink on, one Delaware bar made this exclusive list.
Delaware Bar Named the Best in America
Esquire magazine has scoured the country to find the best bars in America. They’re also celebrating bar culture along the way. “Bars have always been that third place, the spot where you hang outside work and home,” they explain. “But as we’ve discovered crisscrossing the country over the past twelve months to visit the new bars, they’re doing that in more nuanced and varied ways than they have in a long time.” As for bar trends, they note that a lot of bars are pretty complex these days. For example, plenty of bars have a nightclub component, so you can decide to chill in the bar portion of the venue or go to the hot, dance-filled area. Whether you’re at a top-notch nightclub-type bar or a hole-in-the-wall place, Esquire has made sure to pick bars that make their clients and customers feel welcome. Because, really, going to a bar isn’t just about the drink. Having a night at the bar is about talking to people, making new friends and having a good time with the local community. I enjoy going to the bar for the social aspect.
So, which Delaware bar made the cut for the best bars in America according to the experts at Esquire? It’s the lovely Simmer Down in Wilmington. This spot is housed in a former bank, which is unique and cool. “Today, it’s a richly detailed space with a green-marble bar; a surrealist, hand-painted mural with whimsical nods to the area; and swivel chairs with animals in a fairy-tale setting,” Esquire notes. They add that the drinks at Simmer Down are creative, and the martini is a must-try. They really suggest trying “The Gravy Train,” though, which is “a very twisted rum and Coke.” I’m pleased to see this special Delaware bar get some love nationally.
