- 10-25, $$, $$$
The Stone Balloon Tavern and Concert Hall opened its doors in 1972 and rapidly became, as Playboy magazine once noted, “One of the 100 Top College Bars in America”. Delaware's premier live music venue, “The Balloon” hosted such iconic American bands as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Allman Brothers, The Dave Matthews Band, and Metallica, as well as local favorite George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. Fast Forward 42 years to the NEW Stone Balloon Ale House. Built on the sight of the iconic rock hall, the Stone Balloon Ale House features a unique blend of crafted food, exceptional beer, classic cocktails redefined, and an array of spirits – all flavored with a dash of nostalgia. Our culinary mantra is "Comfort Food Playfully Reimagined" and we prepare seasonal favorites that strive to please the palette and resurface a memory. Through local partnerships and genuine hospitality we offer an experience that honors both community and time. Stop by to see us on Throwback Thursdays, an homage to the old legendary Stone Balloon MUG NIGHTS. We may be new, but we haven’t forgotten our roots! Comfort Food…Playfully Re-imagined

The stone balloon is no longer in concert menu it is definitely a gastropub. The food is good they're seating outdoors if you get there when it's not crowded. It's one of the better restaurants on main Street in Newark at present the appetizers they have are delicious and I suggest brussel sprouts. A good place to go with your friends or a nice dinner.

Dinner with some friends and a good time. Appetizer shared and entrees individually. Food was good and service fine. Not too noisy and a good night for all.

I've been here for brunch, dinner and just a casual drink at the bar and I recommend this place for any of those occasions. Their brunch menu is fantastic and they have some delicious appetizers and shared plates. The craft beer selection is always amazing and they have some really cool cocktails! My friend and I like to come and get the pomegranate martini, which is only 5 dollars and super tasty! I also recommend their candy bar dessert, it is delicious and a must-try!!
