13 reviews for Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant
Hands down, this is one of the best places around and it has the best beer around!
In general, the food is great. It is always well-executed and usually creative. The specials are always interesting and delicious, and the regular menu is just a plain comfort. It's fine dining in beer-form.
The burgers are always prepared well, the pizzas have the right crust and the right toppings, the fish is always the best. Even if you go for meatloaf or pork chops you will be happy - they are also excellent.
Desserts are also very good. Try the Oatmeal cake - it is a dense moist cake with the bite of oatmeal - just great.
The beers are why I go. I have a club membership which gets me reward points and a 4-oz larger mug of beer. The hand-made beer choices usually change for the season - but the standards are what I usually get anyway. In addition, there is a cask-conditioned brew that requires a special hand pump. It is less carbonated and is like an English ale - my absolute favorite.
There is no reason why you would be disappointed with this Newark standard!
Touting your bona fides as best craft brewer in northern Delaware is a little like saying, "best Major League Baseball team in Flushing, NY." Suffice it to say that the beer isn't too great. The IPA tastes like hops, hops, hops and soap. For the price, I'd rather buy a sixer of Lord Chesterfield on Elkton Road. I have no inclination to try the food. The decor (or atmosphere, as it were) reminds me of one of those "fancy" glass hotel elevators.
One of the nicest places to dine in Newark. Great food and great service!
We've stopped in here several times over the last couple of years and were always satisfied and had a good time. I always enjoy sampling new beers and they had a nice variety here and tasty suds too! Good burgers and wings and friendly service. it can get crowded but that just makes it more lively. A good solid 4 star place.
One of my favorite place to go to in DE when I was working there. The food is always good. For starters, I love their sweet potato fries which comes in three dipping sauce (chili ancho aioli, cinnamon sweet dip, and another spicy dip) and the turkey burger with guacomole is the best. There make an awesome heifeweizen. You can also purchase a sample of all the beer that is produce at the microbrewery in the restaurant.
Very good food for brunch, lunch, or dinner, and a good selection of micro brew beers. Can be a little pricey for students, but one of the few places in town to get a solid dining experience.
As a bar, the house special shots are a joke and it can be very hard to get a drink. Unfortunately, with so many other bars closing, this is one of the few places to go if you're not interested in a house party.
The best wings ever! I went to the University of Delaware and have since lived in Nashville and Baltimore. I will ONLY eat wings at Iron Hill and have been known to make it a point to stop there for lunch or dinner on my way home from Philadelphia, New York, or any point North of Delaware.
The burger is also fantastic, as are the nachos. Everything here is really fresh. It may be bar food, but it is bar food done right and with high quality ingredients. The entrees are lacking in imagination and sometimes execution, so it's best to stick with the bar food.
As for the beer, I'm certainly not an expert, but I've never liked any of them. They are all too hoppy for my tastes. Give me a Yuengling any day! The sampler is fun though if you are with a group and feeling adventurous.
Service is usually good and the atmosphere is nice in a clubby sort of way. It doesn't have that icky college feel like Klondike Kate's or Deer Park Tavern.
Iron Hill was the best place on Wed. nights for a chill night out, and Saturdays before the Balloon.
They have the greatest chicken wings in the whole world and every time I go to Newark I have to have them... I'm also a huge fan of their raspberry wheat pints.... If you are ever bored do a sampler, they're awesome.
This place seems a little bit more mature then the rest of the bars on the strip. The seasonal beer that was on tap had hints of banana and clove and I should have taken a growler home with me. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. I went with the meatloaf and unfortunately it was very dry. If we weren't faced with a long night of driving ahead I would have suggested doing the flight of beers, which comes with 12 freaking different beers. My heart belongs to the seafood bisque which tasted very rich, creamy, salty and seafoody, but not fishy. Service was a bit so-so. They stuck our table alllll the way in the back and I think our server got a little bit more then she bargained for with our large party + 1 4 year old.
We decided to try at the suggestion of a local resident. The staff was friendly and helpful. On Sundays there is a $20 prime rib special which includes a pint. Burgers & sandwiches average around $9 while entrees range from $16 - $25 (a bit pricier than we expected). Food was seasoned well, but basically just above average - though we are told it is really good for area. Good mix of families, college students and locals the night we were there.
The beer is good. But the food is overpriced. I could get the same quality of food down the street for way cheaper. Nevertheless a necessity for a Newark bar crawl.
Good brews, although I would rather make the trek to either DogfishHead or Victory. Good place for dinner, I like the one in West Chester more.
The sandwiches are pretty good but I'm not crazy about this place. It's pretty boring. Also, their house chocolate cake was a big letdown. The cake tasted like it was from a box and in the inside peanut butter sauce was more flour and water than peanut.
