The Thrills of Tradition

Lefty’s Introduces a New Wave of Fun to Delaware Beach Visitors with Indoor Recreation, a Drive-In Theater and Beachside Eats

No Delaware vacation is complete without spending an evening (or two) at Lefty’s Alley & Eats. The multi-use space doubles as an award-winning restaurant and ultimate retreat for bowlers, axe throwers, gamers and more. The five-year-old property has grown increasingly popular among locals and visitors alike and is celebrated as a must-visit destination in Lewes.

Central to the success of Lefty’s Alley & Eats is owner DJ Hill. Hill is humbled by the number of visitors who have adopted Lefty’s as part of their annual beach vacation since the space debuted in December 2016. “People come to the Delaware Beaches for a week every year. They stay at the same place, eat at the same restaurants and rarely change traditions,” says Hill. “We are honored to be added as part of their annual pilgrimage.”

Lefty’s is truly an entertainment mecca. Inside, Lefty’s hosts four entertainment venues including an underwater-themed Laser Tag arena and a state-of-the-art arcade featuring skeeball, basketball, air hockey and other classic plays. Also gracing the indoor space are 16 luxury bowling lanes outfitted with an array of television screens for added entertainment. For more daring gamers, Hill invites Lefty’s guests to try their hand in the axe throwing suite too.

Bowling strikes and nailing the bullseye are sure to work up an appetite, which is why Hill included an elevated food and beverage component for guests. “When it comes to food, we don’t play games,” explains Hill, echoing one of Lefty’s slogans.

“We are a scratch kitchen featuring a seasonally inspired menu made from fresh, local sources. We [typically serve] eight seasonal entrees in the summer. We, of course, have the burgers, wings, pizza and nachos you’ve come to expect at bowling alleys too, but even those items are not your average fare.”

At Lefty’s you can imbibe a host of craft cocktails and indulge in specially curated plates from classic brunch eats to refined dinner entrees. Choose from a Bloody Mary and Blueberry Brioche French Toast to Chimichurri Salmon and a pitcher of Lefty’s Alley Ale, all of which can be enjoyed inside or on the new al fresco patio.

Also drawing attention to Lefty’s outdoor offerings is a drive-in theater. “We added the theater last summer and were one of the first to come back into Delaware in decades,” explains Hill. The 2020 season drew over 14,000 movie goers to the Lefty’s parking lot.

“We want you to join us for dinner, then stay for bowling, axe throwing or enjoy one of our nightly drive-in features,” says Hill. Or simply put, come for the food and stay for the fun.
