The Old Bag of Nails Pub - Delaware

Stopped in around 01:00 pm on a Monday. Mostly empty, but a handful of eclipse tourists (myself included). Sat at the bar. Bartender introduced herself and let me sample their daily beer special. Had a few beers and some chicken wings. They had a Monday wing special ($1.00/wing), so I got six flats (they let you do that) with buffalo sauce on the side. Wings were served hot and crispy with balanced breading. Buffalo sauce was buttery and not too spicy. The interior is large but fairly cozy... lots of booths, high ceilings, and everything is wood. The bathroom was clean, although the toilet lid was weirdly half on. My only complaint was that the outdoor seating was closed. The patio in front of the entrance takes up a lot of space. With the black patio chairs piled up on the tables, the whole restaurant/bar looks closed from the street/sidewalk. A lot of the pictures/reviews showed outdoor seating, and I was kind of looking forward to enjoying the Ohio weather. Great draft deals, decent food specials, and a good bartender. What else do you need? (Cough* the patio to be open)

Hadda hankerin' for fish--- got fish&chips like Arthur Treachers-- breaded fried haddock, steak fries & cole slaw. 2 ice cold beers...all most excellent...l'd go back regularly. Spacious, laid-out--- looks like a nice fun Friday night bar too.

I got the crab cakes. They were tasy, but very small.

This is a great location to have Mussels and Shrimp. I drive 40 minutes to have this. I thoroughly enjoy them with wine or a beer. I love sitting outside in summer at this location and have loaded mussels just as much as sitting inside in a winter. Absolutely love this restaurant in Delaware.
