Rehoboth Beach has a lively bar scene that runs from boardwalk-adjacent beach bars to the more sophisticated establishments along Rehoboth Avenue. The town has a large and openly welcoming LGBTQ community, and several of the most popular bars cater specifically to this clientele. The Pines area west of Baltimore Avenue has the highest concentration of LGBTQ-friendly bars and restaurants.
For a different kind of drinking experience, Dogfish Head Brewery — one of the most celebrated craft breweries in the eastern United States — has its home and a brewpub in nearby Milton, about 25 minutes from Rehoboth. The Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth itself is a reliable stop for serious beer.
