‘DOWNTOWN BLUES' TO TAKE OVER ORIGINAL NICOLA'S PIZZA SPACE VERY SOON
The restaurant group behind Bethany Blues & The Starboard is bringing its BBQ concept called ‘Downtown Blues' into the old Nicola's space on N. 1st St. They'll feature the same famous BBQ of Bethany Blues located in Bethany Beach and Lewes. Steve “Monty” Montgomery says, “Downtown Blues will be fully renovated to fit this historic space that is special to so many who live in and visit Rehoboth Beach.”
While the famous Nicola's train set, merry-go-round horses and all of their possessions have traveled north to their new Lewes location, the Bethany Blues team will keep some of the iconic feel with the front window booths, semi-open kitchen, and add a cozy bar area to the back corner featuring their famous bourbon collection. The plan is to be a year-round venue open for lunch and dinner. It's exciting for the local team from Bethany Blues and The Starboard to venture into downtown Rehoboth for the first time!
By the way, longtime Bethany Blues managers Jessica Nathan and Zac Warner are joining the ownership team as part of this new chapter for them and for the restaurant group.

Is Nicola also closing their location around the block?
