Gallo Room
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. Our menu features bold small plates, refined cocktails crafted with care, and a curated wine list selected to complement every sip and bite.
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.
What We’re Craving
Come for the bold bites and stay for the good vibes. From crispy Korean fried chicken cracklins to fresh grilled hamachi and house-made steak tartare, our menu is all about big flavors and small plates made to share. Don’t miss our standout cheese boards—perfect for nibbling and pairing with a cocktail.
And save room for a sweet finish with our gooey s’mores pot de crème or rich chocolate fudge. Perfect for hanging out with great company and great drinks.
