Fun BYOB - West Chester area?

[msswc03]

Looking for a fun spot for my sister's 50th birthday celebration - BYOB preferred - anywhere in Chester or Delaware Counties or even Wilmington. Small party of 10. Any ideas?

Quiet night out, my bad

If you want great food... Gilmore's in West Chester. BYO.

There is also a new Tapas bar, Orellia in Wilmington. Its a fun place though not BYO><

Where, exactly, is Orellia?

[cwdonald]

Orillas Tapas is on market street, three blocks from the Opera House. The chef used to be at Deep Blue, and it opened I believe in January. I have been once, and at at the bar before a performance at the Baby Grand. They have some ceviche, traditional tapas as well as larger dishes, including a paella. Wines emphasize spanish wines with a few californians thrown in. Prices are moderate and the atmosphere is casual. They often have a guitar player playing during dinner.

When I hear the word "fun" I think High Street Caffe definitely. A little tight w/ tables, fun menu, hopefully you get Kerry - guy - Excellent server(worth requesting-also owns Market street Grill) BYO wine w/ $5 cork fee. Plus they have a full liquor license - best of both worlds.

Butterfish is good but more for a quite night out

I second the vote for High Street ...cant go wrong

High Street Caffe - http://www.highstreetcaffe.com/ - Cajun food; not a full BYOB, but you can bring wine for a $5 corkage fee.

Avalon, BYOB, http://www.avalonrestaurant.net/ - has outside seating.

Thanks to everyone for the responses, I have been to most of these places and agree with the High Street Cafe as the best choice. Was just wondering if there was something new I didn't know about. Has anyone ever heard of Mimosas in West Chester. I was there a few years ago, it was pretty good, not exactly "fun" but good food.

It's had a few incarnations. It's pretty good, but not as good, in my view as the other ones that have discussed on this board.
