The scene is always lively at BBC Tavern and Grill, where happy-hour prices on food and drink Mondays through Wednesdays keep regulars coming back, and where frequent guest bartender nights draw new friends by benefiting local nonprofits.

The Bottle & Cork calls itself “The World’s Greatest Rock ’n’ Roll Bar.” In its 80th season, it’s still rockin’. This is where you discovered the Dave Matthews Band before the restof the world caught on, where you went to see legends like Buddy Guy and where you’ve blown more Saturday afternoon jam sessions than you care to recall, getting blasted to local favorites like Burnt Sienna and Mr. Greengenes. At least, that’s how you remember it. (1807 Coastal Hwy., Dewey Beach, 227-7272, www.bottleandcorkdewey.com)
