“ Great place. This was my first time that I've been at the Bethany Boathouse. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. The manager on duty also walked around and asked every table, including ours, how everything was and if we were enjoying everything. I thought that was wonderful. My Aunt and Uncle, who were visiting from Georgia, were very impressed and said that I picked a perfect spot. Prices - reasonable and very family friendly. The menu is a Lil bit of everything from burgers, chicken tenders, and of course seafood. Will definitely go back. ”

“ Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. Typical bar food ”
“ Nice ambiance with two bars and plenty seating for dining in. Live music and water fountains made the atmosphere feel good. Gets busy so you may want to call ahead. I had the mussel entree, served a good amount and had a nice taste. I’d recommend stopping here if you spend time at Bethany Beach. ”
“ The Bethany Boathouse is a great spot for some good food. The jerk chicken tacos (pictured) were spicy and delicious, as were the crab cake sandwich and chicken cheese steak enjoyed by our family. ”
“ My 1st time here visiting this place, very busy bar crowded, people are friendly and so are the guests. Everyone is relaxed down to earth and enjoying the vibes. Service is outstanding, I’ve had a chance to meet Patricia, the restaurant manager, and the host Megan, her daughter Emma who are excellent as everyone else as they’re tending to everyone, I’ve ordered the Mussels with Chorizo over a Tomato Spicy Sauce, not overpowering but just the right kick, portions are generous and you’ll be satisfied. My gf ordered Clams over a Wine Sauce and they were delicious as well. The drinks are very well prepared and they don’t skimped out on the alcohol. This is a great place, with great vibes and features live music as per attached programs on pictures. The bar only serves drinks which is quite understandable since they’re quite busy. Very Highly recommended! Will make sure every time I’m here!! ”
