Arena's Deli & Bar
149 Rehoboth Ave
Rehoboth Beach, DE
302-227-1272

Although the address reads "Rehoboth Avenue", Arena's Deli & Bar is tucked back into a stone-paved alleyway just off of the Avenue. It's worth finding, though, as Arena's offers 9 well-chosen drafts, and about 80 bottles of crafts and imports.
The L-shaped bar seats about a dozen thirsty patrons, and there are ample tables and booths...there's more space back there than first appears.
Arena's seems to be popular with locals and tourists alike. The food is good, and ours has always gotten there fast.
Arena's is a comfortable little nook in which to sequester yourself while other members of your entourage are shopping or beaching.
They have two other locations in the area.

Gary's Dewey Beach Grill
2000 Highway One
Dewey Beach, DE 19971
(302) 226-4899

Gary's appears to be just another one of the hundreds of Lite Beer Ocean Bars along the shore, until you see their beer list. Then you'll find out that they have 13 taps, most of which rotate, and a list of about 100 bottles. The selection may be a tad smaller during the off-season.
One touch that jumped right out at me was the sign that proclaimed the favorite beers of each of the staffers. My bartender was glad to explain the beers and Gary's beer philosophy.
If you're on your way to visit the great beach beer destination of Rehoboth, don't forget Gary's, just a mile south and right on Ocean Highway.

Henlopen City Oyster House
50 Wilmington Ave.
Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
302-260-9193

Centrally located in downtown Rehoboth Beach is the Henlopen City Oyster House, a one-stop destination for this Questor's two favorite items...raw oysters and great beer. The Oyster House offers 8 well-chosen taps, which ranged on our visit from Allagash Curieux to PBR. If one of these doesn't please you, at least 30 bottles are available. There is also one cask ale. The staff... bartenders, waitresses, and shuckers were friendly and helpful. The mollusk- lover can choose from six different varieties of oyster. It was a mature crowd that filled the bar during our two visits. The bar seats about 10, with room for about 15 more at wall tables. Get there early, as the bar was filled on a Monday and a Tuesday evening. Whether you make this your one stop for the night, or amble on to any of the other beer and oyster venues in town, Henlopen City Oyster House should definitely be on your must-visit list.

Pickled Pig Pub
Harbor Square
18756 Coastal Highway
Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
(302) 645-5444

The Pickled Pig Pub is located in a strip center on the Route 1 highway, a couple of miles north of downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is one of the establishments that makes Rehoboth the Beer Destination of the Eastern Shore. Pickled Pig offers 14 taps, the majority of which rotate, and about 50 bottles. There is also a hand engine with one beer in cask. Patrons sit at a large U-shaped bar or at tables, and most seem to be here for the beer. Our barkeep was knowledgeable and helpful. Beers were also served in the appropriate glasses. Joining the Pub Club will get you 20-ounce pours for the price of a pint. Pickled Pig also hosts beer dinners during the off-season.

Timothy's Tap House & Raw Bar
19598 Coastal Highway
Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
302.227.3435

Timothy's, which is located on Rehoboth's main highway, probably has the largest draft selection at the beach. Although many of the taps were the usual macros, craft breweries like Stone, Dogfish Head, Evolution, 16-Mile, Rogue, and Troeg's were also featured,with about 40 bottled beers as well. The place is one big room, with a U-shaped bar that seats about 25. There were many booths and tables, and the place had a spacious feel to it. A raw bar with 6 types of oysters was all the menu I needed to see.
