​Stella Of New Hope Unveils New Outdoor Bar, Expanded Dining Area

NEW HOPE, PA — Just ahead of its five-year anniversary and to officially welcome the summer season, Stella of New Hope is introducing a new outdoor bar and additional outdoor seating options for guests seeking al fresco dining and imbibing.

Located on the ground floor, the new outdoor bar area offers diverse seating arrangements, including a selection of high-top tables and regular tables on a covered patio, plus six tables with sprawling umbrellas have been added to the Waterfront Terrace, adjacent to the manicured grassy knoll.

The tables with umbrellas offer full-service dining, requiring guests to check in at the host stand for seating. However, the covered patio operates on a first-come, first-served basis, allowing guests to seat themselves.

Additionally, guests can order beverages from the outdoor bar and enjoy them at one of the red Adirondack chairs scattered across the grassy knoll and riverfront promenade.

“We have one of the best views in all of New Hope and our window and deck tables are always highly requested,” said Sue Evans-D'Astugues, Stella of New Hope General Manager. “We’re
so excited to offer our guests additional seating options during the warm weather months, with the same quality food and beverages paired with unparalleled views of the Delaware River.”
