The High Stakes Bar and Grill is exactly what you think, a local’s gastropub with plenty of TVs for sports; a robust beer selection; and a place to unwind and hang with your friends and neighbors.  It started as a Philly-wannabe cheesesteak and burger + beer joint, but acquired more space and now boasts seating for 100+, an especially fun place to visit for the big sports event or the meaningless Dallas Cowboys game in the fall and winter off-season.  Oh, and the cheesesteaks too.  While they are not quite as authentic in the Philly tradition as High “Stakes” boasts, they are about as close as you can find at the Delaware beach, and a fairly good substitute, even if the rolls are not imported.  High Stakes offers the usual bar grub, and it’s good comfort food, especially wings and burgers.  But local visitors and cheesesteaks rule at this sports pub, and unless you want to venture 2+ hours north to Pat’s or Geno’s, your next best option is High Stakes, where, even if you’re just a weekend visitor, you can feel like a local.
