Crooked Hammock is a great place to kick back with or without the kiddos!

A restaurant and bar in Lewes, Delaware this spot boasts great food and a huge beer selection. What draws most visitors to Crooked Hammock is their expansive “Backyard” area complete with a playground, tables and, of course, hammocks. This makes Crooked Hammock a great choice for families with kids that may not want to sit for an entire meal. The restaurant does offer a large indoor dining room and bar area as well.

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday after a few days of bad weather and The Backyard was clearly a popular place to be. Despite an extremely busy outdoor seating area, there were plenty of open seats at the high-top tables just inside the large, open wall that overlooks the outdoor area. 

Between the playground and coloring pages that the restaurant provides, the kids were easily entertained while we waited for our food. We were pleased with the service as well as everything we ordered.

We are looking forward to visiting again but will probably come on a weekday when the crowds may be less likely to flock to the expansive outdoor offerings. If you’re looking to make a day of it, we recommend checking out Cape Henlopen while you’re in the area!
