A Little Lounge with Soul

the backstory

THE GALLO ROOM is the distinctive sister to Lewes Oyster House—a hidden, cocktail-driven lounge where old-world charm meets a dash of eccentricity. Tucked within the same historic 1930s building, this intimate hideaway takes its name from the proud rooster of the Gallo family crest—a nod to deep local roots and a legacy of spirited hospitality.

It’s a before dinner, after dinner, skip dinner kind of place.

The Secret’s Out

Step inside and discover a moody, elegant space thoughtfully designed to invite lingering conversations and unexpected delights. Whether you prefer the buzz of the bar or the comfort of a cozy table, The Gallo Room offers both seating options to suit your mood.

Perfect for pre-dinner drinks, light bites, nightcaps, or simply unwinding with good company, The Gallo Room is a place where low lighting, good company, and just the right amount of mystery set the tone for lingering conversations.
