A Westville Landmark for Roast Beef and Neighborhood Vibes
If you are looking for the absolute soul of a South Jersey neighborhood tavern, you’ll find it at Schileens Pub in Westville. Since opening its doors in 1995, Schileens has lived by a simple, welcoming motto: “There are no strangers here, just friends that never met yet.” That spirit is palpable the moment you walk in. The building itself carries a deep legacy of local hospitality, standing on the site of the historic Delsea House Tavern, which dates back to the early 20th century.
For the dining enthusiast, there is one non-negotiable order: the Roast Beef Sandwich. Schileens has built a regional reputation on their hand-carved, slow-roasted beef, served on a fresh kaiser roll with just the right amount of au jus. It is consistently cited by locals as one of the best in the state. Beyond the beef, the menu is a masterclass in pub comfort, featuring crispy wings, hearty burgers, and a “Sunday Dinner” vibe that makes you feel like you’re in a family kitchen rather than a commercial restaurant.
The bar scene is exactly what a great pub should be—lively but grounded. With a solid selection of domestic and craft beers, it’s a premier destination for sports fans catching an Eagles or Phillies game on their multiple HD screens. The weekly calendar is packed with local favorites, including high-energy Quizzo nights and live music sets that turn the neighborhood hangout into a foot-tapping party. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or a late-night pint, Schileens remains a cornerstone of the Westville community.
