You get it all in one place; food, spirits, live entertainment, great atmosphere, kick a heel or two….Bethany Blues Lewes is located at 18385 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1), Lewes, Delaware 19958. Tel. 302-644-2500. Website? http://www.bethanyblues.com. It is open year-round.
The other night we decided we were in the mood for ribs. Bethany Blues is known for their succulent ribs, perfectly smoked. The restaurant is, actually, a good size. But, I like to sit in the bar area. There are some booths and tall table available. It is pretty lively on this side of the restaurant. If you do prefer a quieter atmosphere, then ask to be seated on the other side.
Bethany Blues is one of the restaurants in our Delaware Beaches where people with food allergies can eat without worries. The restaurant takes guests’ food allergies very seriously and tries to accommodate dietary restrictions as best as they can.
If you have a food allergy, please mention it to your server. In our case, it is a gluten allergy. The manager will come to the table to explain the menu and tell you what you can and cannot eat. Believe me, they have plenty of entrees and sides, including barbecue sauces.
Our entrees and sides were all gluten free. This is what we had.
To start we had their Crispy Pork Belly. A few slices of in house, cured and smoked pork belly, served with their apple cider dipping sauce. I usually order this appetizer. I love the combination of flavors.
To tell you the truth, I had never had the St. Louis Ribs. Our server recommended them and I think they will be my new rib addiction. They had a house brown sugar rub, then smoked for hours. Fantastic flavor. My dish was called the Delmarva Duo because it had chicken, smoked and seasoned, then a bit of their house sauce was added. The chicken was crispy and very moist. My sides were the cucumber and onion salad and a very “hot” jalapeno slaw. Very hot indeed.
An entree of half rack of Baby Backs, with sides of garlic mashed potatoes and the cucumber and onion salad. Also, very good.
No dessert was necessary….we did ask for a doggy bag. Guess what? Bethany Blues Lewes is open for lunch.
Live Entertainment at Bethany Blues Lewes:
Year round, Sydney’s Music Revival presents local and nationally recognized musicians. Do you remember when she had Sydney’s in Downtown Rehoboth Beach? If you do, then, you have been coming to the Delaware Beaches for a long time. It was the place to go for live entertainment, and good food.
Entertainment at Bethany Blues at this time of the year starts at 8:30 p.m.
Friday, 11/9 – Top Notch Honky Tonk Comes to Bethany Blues – Something special has happened to Davina and The Vagabonds since their last appearance at Bethany Blues in Lewes. As a last minute substitute for John Mayer at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival last Spring, the band has been in huge demand both, nationally and internationally.
Two things distinguish this fine band; the first being leader, Davina Sower’s big nostalgic soul voice. Think of a meld of Bessie Smith, Etta James, Alberta Adams and Amy Winehouse, and you come close to understanding what Davina is all about. The other is the band’s crisp, clean sound…just piano, upright bass, trombone, trumpet, and drums.
Listening to Davina and The Vagabonds is like stepping into a wondrous musical time machine. They have the panache and superlative musicianship to recreate the retro sound and ageless appeal of golden age Americana in high-definition reality. Davina beckons an age when bad girls wore red lipstick and pin curls. More info? You can visit Bethany Blues’ website above mentioned or http://www.davinaandthevagabonds.com.
Saturday, 11/10 – Down2Rock will be performing live at Bethany Blues. Check their website at http://www.reverbnation.com/down2rock.
Note: Musicians interested in bookings should contact Sydney Arzt at artsinfo.sydney@gmail.com.
It looks like there is a beautiful week-end ahead at the Delaware Beaches…have a great time. Talk to you later.
