Reviews of Bottle & Cork (Night Club)

Adrienne Newton

I have been to this venue for so many occasions, Jam Sesh being one of my favorites. I watched my brother get dragged out by a bouncer during a Chris Lane concert for multiple false accusations. They let the bouncers get too big of an ego, and I understand they need to take precautions, but they were completely unwarranted. (I know of other occasions as well) The way they dealt with the situation was disgraceful. I have come here for years and years and I honestly don’t know if I will ever return. They promised video footage, and until there is proof I will question their intentions. We will back tomorrow to see what happened. They will explain themselves. Sincerely, Adrienne. EXPLAIN YOURSELF

Audrey LeVault

Such a great place for a concert! Plenty of room... Several bars... Partly open to the sky. Great drinks too, just it's only cash. Who does that?!?

Sixta Lopez

Live bans cool little spot to chill

Steve Gorogias

Great venue for great artists

Paul McGrady

Great staff and thunderous sound system.

justin downes

Amazing. Youre gonna have a good time.

Jesse Haney

Nice spot for a drink and listen to live music. Great people watching too. The drinks are a bit pricey and you may have to pay a cover charge, but you're getting the entertainment of live music in a beach town so it's expected. They had a camera guy walking thru the crowd and putting people up on the TV live streaming which I found unique. Great way to see everyone was having a good time.

Denise Close

Had a great time!

Raphael

Best Live Rock Bar of US

Carl Pettinato

Great venue, great band(Yacht Rock Review) great friends !

Miranda Collins

Half open air concert venue. Great bartenders, bars are placed through out, friendly service. Standing room only. Only problem is, it can get pretty packed. This is definitely a great venue but the "younger over 21 crowd" is sure to enjoy it more than the - "have two kids and have to get up early in the morning crowd". Most bands start late and wrap up even later. I just wish I were younger when I found out this place.

Roni Whitton

Fun place, cash only.

Tanya Willis

Always a great venue

Steve E.

I made my first visit with a friend from work and it was a Saturday Jam....cover bands. It was a great experience. I have been to a lot of world class venues across the United States and this proved to be a great experience. The crowd was multi generational, and had a great vibe. I was sad to hear the last song of the night. This is a great live music venue with an interesting crowd.

Bryan Hochstein

I love this place is. It is the best venue on the east coast.

Trey Kraus

Always an awesome time. The bands are pumped to play in a smaller, intimate, rocking place and it shows!

Ken

Live music fills an intimate setting for a good time had by all! This bar draws a mixed crowd ready to be entertained. Everyone is welcome .. Since 1936 , when the floor was last cleaned ,lol......

Doug Baker

Great environment... a little trouble finding parking.

Jennifer Molinda

Fun band but ATMs weren't working and it's CASH ONLY.

FranCin Bacon

Great venue, awesome concert. Drinks overpriced, overall worth it

Jessica Marciano

Staff was awesome, awesome preformers!

Michelle Giraud

This was a pretty cool place for music! Small enough to get real close, open to the air, but with a roof. Love the vintage signage on the walls. The Bars were kinda confusing.... wanted a beer but didn’t see a list of what they had. I ended up taking a fellow patrons advice and getting a grapefruit crush. It was pretty delicious! Trampled by Turtles were excellent!

Jason Cooper

Dive bar and venue but always has good artists performing. Always a cool place. The only place worth going in Dewey.

Chuck Wagner

Great venue but seating is limited.

Carole Ross

Had a blast @ the Wiskey Myers concert.. will def. go back.

Kyle Brightbill

One of the best places to put your eardrums and liver to the test.

Alex Hickey

Best Rock n Roll bar in the world.

Great little bar. The staff was super nice. Even the cops were nice.

trevor brown

My wife and I went to see Scotty McCreery at B&C, and it was a nice place. Drinks were deffinatly on the more expensive side, so keep that in mind. But over all a cool spot.

Anonomous

You might want to get checked out at the hospital after going home with anyone who goes here on a Friday or Saturday but other than that it's pretty sweaty and smelly fun good thing it's got every type of draft you can think of.

Robert Binger

Awesome venue and dive bar, but it's cash only which is pretty inconvenient

Jeffrey Watters

An absolute must when visiting Dewey is the catch a show at the Bottle & Cork, the greatest rock bar in the world.

Tyler Rivera

Jam session is the best

Stephen Meyer

Such a great venue right off the beach! Was on vacation and paid$10 to see an amazing band I've heard on the radio!

Jeffrey McDonald

Awesome music venue. Saw bad fish here. Bartenders were friendly. Music was great. And if u didn't feel like leaving the music to get a drink they had a bartender walking around with a bucket of budlights for $5. Place reminded me of a college bar, in a good nostalgic way. I expected to walk into the bathroom and walk into a college bar bathroom, in a bad smelly way. I did not. The bathrooms were clean and and smelled good. Overall very impressed with this place. Will hopefully make it a yearly stop on our beach vacation.

Chris Michaels

Nice venue, if you don't mind standing the whole time for a musical act on stage, and if you don't mind NO air-conditioning in the summer(it's a half open-air facility, and if you don't mind breathing in cigarette smoke the entire time from the outside area that's NOT separated by any partition or wall from the inside stage area and standing area.

Johnny Lanzetta

Great place for the nightlife scene!

Jay Baker

Great time every time im here! Good music, good drinks, great time!!!

Robert Taylor

Great place to see some live music during the summer.

Mike Cooper

Dirty... but it's the cork. You don't go there unless you're ready to party and drink.

Jason Gizzi

Best Stash crawl stop

Abbie O'Brien

Fun bar in Dewey - always with live music.

JJMV

Staff usually an issue at venues, especially at places like this where they deal with a wide variety of patrons depending on who is playing. Treated with respect here all the way through, great time, thank you.

Daniel Pak

Drinks flowing and the live music is nice. Conveniently placed in the heart of Dewey, it's a decent spot to start the night off

Kari Jackson

Small venue great to see a show. Parking left something to be desired. Also cash only bar and atms inside were out of order.

Ron Wismer

Great venue. Prices arent ridiculous

Justin Nieves

Great atmosphere. Amazing venue to see bands

Christopher Miller

They never disturb any trash on the bare concrete floor till the following day.

Aimee Kirchner

Super fun concert venue with great, well known bands. We went to see Bros Osborne May 29th and it was perfect. You can smoke your vape or cigs in the back part with an open ceiling to the outside. It's so close to the beach so we walked the beach before and after concert. Good strong drinks too! Excellent night!

Patty Westfall

Another bar at Dewey Beach De, that's worth the trip.

Stacey Malm

Great Entertainment. Steve the bartender made excellent orange crushes.

Very good place for a great time.

Charles Gibson

Lauren Naylor

Came here once for a concert a few years ago, great smaller venue and it was easy to get a great place to see

Adam Klein

Nice place. Cash bar which makes things easier. A little crowded so picking up people is a bit hsrd but GREAT live music. Wonderful place to kick off your night in Dewey.

Rachel Hill

My night started out great at the Chris Lane concert. My family and I were having a great time singing along and dancing with the music. I am very short (5ft tall) and thought it would be fun to get on my cousins shoulders. I got on her shoulders and out of no where was violently ripped down by a bouncer. The bouncer did not ask me to get down first, he grabbed me by the arm and forcefully pulled me down to the point where it left bruises on my arm. I am 5ft tall and weigh just over 100 pounds. The bouncer was very big and it was very unnecessary for him to do such a thing. I filled out an incident report with Kathleen who was a manager and she explained to me why I wasn’t allowed on someone’s shoulders (due to the concrete floors) and I completely understand that after it was explained to me, but that does not excuse the bouncer’s violent actions. I would have gladly gotten down if he had asked me to. A man in a grey shirt with a pony tail, who I assume was either the owner or the manager, was very rude and tried to turn the incident around on me telling me “You understand why the bouncer did that right?” And “did it ever occur to you you were the only one on someone’s shoulders?” And I kindly explained to him that his bouncer should have asked me to get down rather than ripping me down to the point of leaving bruises. He brushed it off, did not apologize for the bouncer’s actions and Kathleen asked me not to write a bad review when I told her I was going to post pictures of the bruises. The incident was handled very unprofessionally. They did not even attempt to find the bouncer who did it writing “unknown doorman” on the incident report.

Mike McKee

This is the perfect venue for a nice intimate concert. It's a covered so it can get a bit hot depending on the weather. There are no seats so it's all general admission/standing room only.

David Wright

I really like this place. The bands are great and the sound system is good. Very large stage allows alot of people to get close to the band. They also have a large bar staff so it is unusual to wait long to get served. My main gripe is it is cash only. They have at least 3 ATM machines which is nice. In today's world I really like to get my cash back reward on my credit card.

Steven Kleinfelter

GET READY TO PARTYYYYYY!!!! BADFISH rocked the house. It's a cash only drinking and smokin venue. Interior has some great vintage signs. Good mix of peeps.

Annette Allman

Love me some bottle and cork

Kevin Ward

Cool place. Like rock or country music . Best live music around

Michelle G

Who else has Kix!!! Always a good time

Jeff McMaster

Small venue let's you get up close to the artists and cheap ticket prices are attractive. Beer prices certainly make up for the cheap ticket prices though.

matt cahill

great venue horrible management. most of the staff was pleasant as we spoke to them thru out the event. I would hope the manager just had a bad night because if that is his normal self he must be miserable. again great band great venue but it only takes one bad apple. would recommend 9 out of 10 times

El Benson

Love this bar. Comes recommended

Steven Faber

Great place to see a band

Dawn Hundley

Best little place with the biggest bands. Best time ever.

David Siter

GTLO

David Sutton

Saw DSO great shows and great club

Terry Miller

Fun times with the Eli Young Band

Eugene Mullins

The Bands are good. Wear shoes not sandals, the floor has trash and cigarette butts all over it. You can smoke inside. The staff is rude and the bouncers are over aggressive, even towards women. Hard to find parking. ALL the other bars in Dewey are much better than this dump.

Ray Trigger

Best bar in Dewey Beach.

Pam Hutchins

Local venue that books local & national music acts. Ticket prices are reasonable & it is a small club. Minimal seating along outer wall, open air sections while other sections are covered by a roof. Concrete floor that's mostly SRO. Always enjoyed the musical acts & crowd generally happy & easy going!

Robert Adams

Great space for listening to tunes!

Samantha Baranowski

Love this venue! Standing room, smoking area, it's like indoor/outdoor. No reentry after you leave but there's a bunch of amazing bars to hit after your show. Heads up, it's CASH ONLY! bring cash or you can pay like $4 at the available ATM

Rez Alborz

They have great bands that play there, it's just the floor near the stage is disgusting. I don't recommend going there in sandals/flip flops.

Eric Bryant

One of the coolest music venues I've been to.

Nickstephano3232 R

tyler bastianelli

Best bar in Dewey Beach! Hit jam session. You won’t be disappointed. Wear your old sandals, they won’t ever be the same.

Jim Tomoschuk

It's the best ever for fun

1BoardwalkAngel Forever

Saw Edwin McCain perform live at a phenomenal small venue. I was right in front of the stage!

David Brown

Great summer venue. Covered & air-conditioned on one side, the other open to the stars! Books fabulous bands from all around the US.

Dylan Hannum

This bar is able to get some unbelievable musical artists to come play. They do seem a little quick to throw people out of the venue. I attended a show here several times and consistently see people being escorted out by bouncers. Be very careful while you are here as it seems to take only one bad look to get you removed.

Edward Rodriguez

Great venue but expensive drinking and entrance fees. It would have been perfect at a lower cost.
