Delaney’s Irish Pub And Grill

A Taste of Dublin on the Cape May Mall

Step off the historic Washington Street Mall and into the warm, inviting embrace of Delaney’s Irish Pub And Grill. Far more than just a place for a pint, Delaney’s is a South Jersey destination that perfectly blends the cozy spirit of a traditional Irish pub with the vibrant culinary scene of the Jersey Shore. It stands as Cape May’s only Irish pub, occupying a long-held spot in the heart of the pedestrian mall that was once home to Frymires, cementing its local legacy.

As a dining and bar enthusiast, you’ll immediately appreciate the atmosphere. The décor features rich, warm wooden interiors, and the centerpiece is a large, classic circular bar—a magnet for camaraderie and conversation, ensuring you can always find a spot to hang out. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, a lively dinner, or a late-night gathering, the ambiance strikes a balance between laid-back and electric.

Key Features & Highlights:

• The Menu: Delaney’s excels as a true “gastro pub.” While it features a full “Taste of Ireland” menu—including essential classics like Corned Beef and Cabbage, Shepherd’s Pie, and Bangers and Mash—its location near the shore dictates a must-try seafood selection. Patrons rave about the fresh Raw Bar offerings (local Cape May Oysters, Littleneck Clams), highly praised Lobster Rolls, and hefty Angus Burgers. They are also notably dietary-friendly, offering comprehensive vegan options and accommodating guests with food sensitivities.

• The Bar Program: Enjoy a full bar with an extensive drink menu. The establishment boasts a great beer selection with classic Irish stouts (like Guinness) and regional craft brews on tap. The cocktail menu is equally impressive, ensuring there’s a perfect pairing for your meal or a refreshing sip for a night out. Don’t miss their popular Happy Hour deals!

• The Vibe: The pub features spacious seating inside, making it ideal for groups. When the weather is fine, the outdoor, al fresco seating along the mall is a coveted spot. On select nights (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday), the energy ramps up with lively live entertainment and music, turning the dining experience into a full-blown pub party.
