Came here on a Friday night and danced all night! Â FUN, fun, fun!
There was no charge to get in. Â You walk in and it feels very tropical since there is sand at the bar. Â Wear flip-flops or sandals. Â There are plenty of places to sit, take in the scene to the right or left of the main dance area. Â The bars are outdoors with tiki-tops or like a tent or something. Â They are situated next to the bay so you can see the view of the water which is awesome. Â So you can either dance on crowded dance floor, or sit and chill by the side by the bay. Â There was a live cover band from Boston and they were great, awesome energy. Â All my friends were dancing.
The place looks small on the outside, but its really big. Â Make sure you have an area to meet your friends, otherwise it can become tough to find one another.
If you've ever been to Seacrets at OC, it has that same feel, but way smaller and less overwhelming. Â
Can't wait to go back!!
Food mediocre, service BLAH, atmosphere horrible, horrible language from staff, bartenders sitting on bar, sand in multiple drinks, under 21 year old staff drinking at the bar (age confirmed by staff who asked his age and said be careful and laughed), and no napkins... Over priced drinks and food for the quality! U should rather go to subway! Wish I could get a refund. The only pleasant thing about this place was out red haired male server.
Review Source:Northbeach is my favorite bar by far in Dewey Beach. It is a great time, especially during the day. The bouncers and bartenders aren't jerks like the guys that work at the Lighthouse and Rudder.
Northbeach has been famous for years for its $1 beers and Dewey Devils on Tuesday nights. The best night of the week in Dewey IHMO.
Food is decent, drinks are amazing. Especially the Dewey Devil. Will definitely come back every summer; nothing like watching the sun set at Northbeach.
Good place to have some drinks and listen to a cover band, but the food was very meh. Â I had a crab cake sandwich and it was very fishy tasting. Â I also think they can do better then throwing some old bay in some mayo and calling it a sauce. Â It's fun to sit on the sand, and the dancing was pretty good besides some people who had no concept of personal space. Â Drinks were okay.
Review Source:Gordon Ramsay would have had a heart attack. Â
This place has gone down hill big time. Â We did a big family dinner two years ago, and everything was great. Â We stopped in last year, and it was still above average. Â On this visit over this past weekend....we've entered the "Never Again" category.
Beer: Â It was warm.
Food: Â They took off the tuna sandwiches, which used to be decent. Â So, we ordered crab cake sandwiches, onion rings, french fries, and one of our little guests had chicken tenders. Â The crab cakes were AWFUL. Â I did in fact see crab in them, but they were small and mostly filler - and filler that taste like they dragged it across the sand before bringing it to us. Â The french fries looked like they went to the grocery store, cooked frozen fries in the oven a week ago, stuck them in the fridge, and then just warmed them in the microwave. Â The $9 onion rings were a greasy mess. Â And, the chicken tenders would have been fine if they listed them on the menu as "Chicken Jerky."
Toes in the Sand: Â Me thinks not. Â The sand was full of broken beer bottles, and the fence had rusty metal straps hanging off of them. Â The Liberty Mutual guy would also have had a heart attack.
Servers: Â One of the servers looked like the G.M. of the place knew they were going to be short handed, and just grabbed someone from the gym to come wait tables for the evening. Â The sneakers I get, but Nike gym shorts and an old t-shirt, really? Â He was a sloppy mess. Â Our server wasn't as bad, but I did ask him if he actually worked there when he came to the table.
And finally, when I informed the server of all of the above, in a very diplomatic manner, he said sorry and handed me the bill. Â Lucky for him 15% tip is my floor for even crap.
This is a large place that gets pretty crazy during the weekends. It's not really my kind of joint, but I can appreciate why some people like it. There are a bunch of different sections. We chilled mostly in the outside bar. When the weather is good, it's a nice spot to have a drink and act stupid in. The floor is all sand, which is pretty cool. However, one girl in our crew regretted wearing high heels because she kept sinking. Â The drink selection is weak and overpriced. 5 dollar Coronas and the like make me unhappy. Oh well...
One inside area has a dance floor and also a "crush" mixed drink bar. They have some fruit concoctions (mango, peach, creamsicle, etc) which are decent, but nothing special. They weren't super sweet, which I like, but didn't have much flavor overall. We also hung out in the lounge area for a bit. It's loud and gets silly, but there are some posh couches as well.
This place is pretty packed on the weekends. You will often get bumped into hard by obnoxious drunk people and sweaty bouncers. Bartenders sucked when I was there. They are overworked, but also incompetent. Some are more interested in talking to their friends who show up for free drinks while the others will not pay attention to you no matter how long you've been standing there waving money around. Most of the crowd is twenty-somethings, but weird and slightly creepy 50 year olds also hang out. (Let me be clear that all 50 year olds who frequent bars are not weird and creepy, but the ones at Northbeach seem to be.)
Parking is great here. There's a huge lot and you will find a spot if you look hard enough. Park here (for free) instead of scrounging around Dewey for a spot on the street. This makes Northbeach a good spot to start and/or end your night.
We had a girls weekend and our main reason for coming was to see our favorite band Mr. Greengenes. We usually see them at the a local spot in Arlington, VA so we were all hoping this place would not be a total let down compared to what we are used to.
Northbeach did not disappoint. The bartenders were awesome and super attentive for a PACKED house. Drinks were not only mixed well but they also had a crush bar that my bestie loved. I was very put off at first because it was so crowded but atmosphere was very chill and we got to be super close to our favorite band. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we will for sure be back.
My friends and I went to Northbeach for a girls night out and to see Mr. Greengenes (our most favoritest band of all time). This place was SUPER packed and you're literally on top of each other, but everyone was really friendly, so it didn't really matter.
The drinks here aren't outrageously expensive, so I was really happy about that. They have a separate crush bar which my friend loved because she literally fell in love with the grapefruit crush during our time in Rehoboth and Dewey.
There was only a short line for the woman's bathroom even though the place was packed, so they clearly attained the perfect stall to woman ratio.
I really enjoyed the setup of this place also because they have an outdoor bar in the front, a few indoor bar areas and then two outdoor bar areas out the back which is right on the bay. Plenty of bar space available, even on this super crowded night.
Will definitely be back next year.
Ended up here just before sunset (thought it was cool that they had the sunset time posted out by the water, where the view is spectacular), and liked it better than any of the other DB watering holes I've been to. Slower paced, no soused college kids frantically grinding on each other, good DJ, great view. Not much of a beer selection, though.
Review Source:Any day or evening here and your bound to have a good time, Sunday Fundays are probably the best time to come. There is usually live music playing and everyone is there to have a good time. you can kick back and wiggle your toes in the sand while looking out over the bay or you can sit inside to beat the heat on those warm days. The food here is good I haven't had a bad meal yet. If your here to drink Try the Dewey Devil with a 151 floater you won't be disappointed until maybe the next day if you don't know how to hand your booze. The bartenders and staff are always helpful.
Review Source:Went here with my husband a few weeks ago. We have been many many times for drinks, but this was our first time eating here after many years. Â We got the crab dip (very good), I got a salad, which was huge and very tasty, and he got a tuna sandwich. Â Would definitely be back for food again.
Review Source:I've been coming to Dewey Beach for years, and never knew this place existed. I went with a large group over the 4th of July weekend and was so happy one of our friend's found Northbeach. SO much fun! Big indoor/outdoor bar. I think you can eat there during the day, but I only went at night. It's a mix of people that go but everyone was having a good time. The dewey devil drink was yuuuummmy and the bartenders were nice and attentive. My friends went during the day and said there was a really nice view. Check it out here when the other bars are too packed!
