Welcome to Bethany Blues in Lewes

Every restaurant has a rhythm to it. The sizzle of the kitchen, the laughter and banter of the staff, the sound of clinking plates as they are taken to tables or subsequently removed. The rhythm makes a melody and that gives way to a song that becomes the heartbeat and culture of the restaurant itself. From it’s inception, Bethany Blues built itself on a culture of forward motion.
Bethany Blues is synonymous with the imagery of comfort food—barbecue holds those southern roots that speak of connection and comfort. Blues’ is devoted to their innovative spirit in and out of the kitchen.

Barbecue & More

From Dinosaur BBQ in Niagara Falls, New York to The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, our owners have traveled the country. They’ve sampled every variety of barbecue and learned regional styles of slow smoking and the wood fire process. From Carolina-style barbecue to Texas-style beef brisket to our St. Louis ribs and our own “Delmarva-Q”— Why pick a favorite: you can have it all!

Our highly-skilled team of chefs, innovate new ways of blending southern tradition with beach flavors. You can count on favorites like hearty ribs, no-filler crab cakes , or a juicy burger. Can’t choose? Our Sunday Brunches are the ticket to a well-rounded view of the menu. We elevate barbecue to places you never anticipated.

Passionate about bourbon? Nothing goes together like bourbon and barbecue. Bethany Blues has over 120 whiskeys and over 50 of those are part of the private stash collection. We hand select our own single-barrels for our house whiskey pour. Let us make a bourbon believer out of you!
