Barnaby’s of America

I don’t go here anymore. Like the other guy said, you run into the people from grade school and high school you never got along with. Deck is too small. Place pretty much sucks.

I have been coming here for a very long time, and never really had a bad experience in the restaurant area but the bar I am not a fan the bartenders are good they know drinks and have no problem making you what you want, but the djs oh my gosh they sometimes want me to rip my ears out a soak them in vodka, but that’s not the restaurants fault so I can’t blame that on them, but nice place for lunch or a place to watch a game, I will go here again like I have before

If you can believe it I have never been here before. Grew up in Havertown but left before 21 and not returning till 33 leaves many «New» delco bars to try. Sat outside which was nice for lunch. Bartender was super nice and attentive the entire time. Their beer list is extensive and affordable. They have a separate menu just for the bottles and drafts which I always appreciate. If you like fried food you are in heaven. When I’m somewhere new I always order the wings. This is a great gauge to see how the rest of the menu is going to be. I ordered their hottest wings and they were perfect. Heat was all up front and then died down after a couple long pulls. Potato skins came with ranch sour cream which was different but good. Wife said her Cosmo was delicious as was her burger. In the future I wouldn’t mind watching a game here.

Horrible service — there was only one person working hard in this place and if it wasn’t for her we would have walked out. 1 hour wait for food and it was cold, no doubt it sat in that kitchen for a while. When we asked one of the workers to check on it, he blew us off, told us to talk to the bar tender, then went and started socializing with his friends. Management needs to wake up. I agree with George F.‘s rating «sets the standard for lazy».

This place sets the standard for lazy. There is not a more neglectful staff in all of DelCo. The waitresses only come to the table every 45 minutes. You should only go here if you want to wait an hour for an overpriced mediocre burger.

Food here is pretty awful. New deck is nice if you want to catch a game. This place is pretty gross. It’s always dirty and smelly. I’ve heard of people getting sick here and that doesn’t surprise me. I try to stay away from the food and stick to the beer specials if you’re drug here.

West Chester location is better. The food here is not the best. Some bartenders are great. Some not so great. Place can get pretty packed on busy nights. Deck area is cool but smokey. I usually go late afternoon early eve.

Had a pretty good plate of Nachos and a Coors Light here last night. Service was helpful and friendly though the food came out a bit slower than I’d like. If you want a good place to come relax with friends and grab a beer and some standard pub junk food, this is your spot. They’re not doing anything exciting on their menu, but this is not what they are going for anyway.

If I could give this place zeros stars, I would! We came here for a friend’s birthday on Saturday and decided to get a wristband for $ 25 for open bar. The hours were 9:00 — Midnight. We weren’t allowed downstairs (which was the entire reason we picked this place) until 10:30 because the party downstairs extended their party. The bartenders are terrible. I assume they ignore you when you have a wristband because they assume you won’t tip them. But I definitely did NOT get my $ 25 worth of drinks because they skip right over you.
At one point towards the end of the night, we decided to go on the deck area. A drunk patron blocking the door ALL night spilled a drink on my friend. Instead of apologizing, the patron started screaming at her. The birthday boy who just so happens to be African American, stepped in and told the white patron to apologize to the girl. At this point, security came over to separate everyone and they had it under control. Then male bartender on the deck came over and started SCREAMING in my face to «shut the f*ck up» when I told him it was fine and we were leaving the deck area. This was after midnight so my wristband drinking was over. In addition to the $ 25 open bar wristband, I spent an additional $ 45 there. 3 drinks were left on the bar because we were so disgusted at this bartender’s actions. Clearly he doesn’t like black patrons in his area. Instead of listening to what had happened he took the side of the white patron who overly drunk and was in the wrong. I am white by the way and never witnessed such racist BS in my life. Security had it handled, no physical fight ever ensued. Mr. Bartender should have stayed behind the bar and continued to ignore people who wanted drinks.
I will never step foot in this place again and I encourage you all to do the same. I am ashamed I ever spent a dime in here.

This place is disgusting. I should know better. Week after ween the men’s room is a pit. Urine every where. Mold under the hand dryers. But night was the topper… Dirty diaper in the men’s room. I won’t be back.

Great casual go to bar. If you want to REALLY drink, you can, at the 3 bar (s) Nice staff and specials. If you want to eat, it’s pretty typical bar food, big menu, never had a bad meal. Also can be very family friendly, the large side dining room is away from the bar and great for kids to be kids (BONUS kids eat FREE on Wednesdays with free balloon animals!) Smoking all year out on the deck FYI, could be good/​bad, up to you. No bother if you are inside.
Take out 6ers.
Only suggestions would be for a switch to handmade burgers over premade, and hot wing sauce is too mild (but the super hot is WAAAYY too hot)

Went here recently for dinner for the first time in years. Honestly, everything was just about average. Not much was memorably good or bad. It’s what you would expect at a typical neighborhood pub. We sat on the restaurant side, but the bar side seemed a bit rowdy, if that’s what you’re into. We got the potato skins to start and they were pretty good. I remembered hearing how good their eggrolls were, so we got the buffalo chicken and cheesesteak eggrolls. To me, the cheesesteak eggrolls were just okay, nothing special. However, the buffalo chicken eggrolls, which would not have been my first pick, were great. Everything about them was perfect and I liked that they weren’t drenched in buffalo sauce. Service was slightly above average for this type of place. We didn’t have to wait long for anything despite it being busy. I’m in no rush to go back, but I wouldn’t be opposed to going back either.

I came here for a post-​work happy hour with a group of coworkers. I liked that they have a big covered and screened-​in patio with a big bar and tables. We took up a corner of the bar were all able to fit and talk and hear one another and share appetizers. The prices are good — for $ 6 I got a big plate heaped with Old Bay fries — and the service was quick. The food was just ok, nothing special. I’d recommend avoiding the cheese sauce wherever possible. If you need to accommodate a big group in the ‘burbs somewhere that you want to be able to hear each other talk and not go bankrupt, this is a good choice.

In terms of this being a good «go-​to» bar for a regular beer menu and bar food, this place works. It’s close to where we live, so we will go here for a drink or a bite when we want something fairly quick and not very expensive.
The menu is good in terms of being a «bar» menu, but there aren’t too many healthy options.
The «scene» and bar area is fun, especially with a group of people, and the outdoor area is nice.
I recommend going here for a bite to eat with friends or family when you are looking for decent food and a fun time.

Huge Parking Lot with one across the street if main one is full. Has the deck which is huge in the summer. It is even enclosed for the colder months so that one can enjoy a tasty libation and not feel so crowded. Has plenty of flat screen TV’s but the main bar is usually packed unless you get a spot at the bar. Also has a huge dining room and another bar downstairs called the Dugout. I prefer the deck myself while watching a game.
They have pretty decent appetizers to go along with good beer specials. I like the samplers myself so that I can get a little of everything. Expect to run into someone from your past as Barnaby’s brings out a lot of Delco as it is one of the few bars with a deck. Like most bars it is packed from Thirsty Thursday to Sunday. I have to also add that I have outgrown the dugout for Dance Party USA as I am not into that scene anymore, I just like to pull up to the bar get something to munch on while enjoying an adult beverage and one of the Philly teams do battle.

Happy hour and the classic late $#!t show of delco!
The good: All the bar food that can clog the biggest of arteries, actually the real food ain’t bad either. specials, outdoor deck, dj, dance floor, pool table, prices, service at the bar, and sometimes a singer or two.
Bad but avoidable: Some of the kids can get rowdy looking to fight, table service can sometimes be under par.

Everyone I know who visits Barnaby’s walks away saying a few things:
1. Good sports bar
2. Good wings
3. Good bartenders
4. Disgusting bathrooms
And #4 is so disgusting that the urine on the toilet seats, no locks on the stalls and the yellow toilet paper streamed across the floor and the used diaper on the sink, completely defines the experience. Yes, it’s that bad. No, you would not want your Mom going there.
So, until the owners realize they are the «Double Deuce» of Havertown, Barnaby’s will be categorized for what it is… a fraternity-​like sports bar for the locals. And it’s just so easy to fix before the Health Department does it for them.

Maybe I’m snobbish, but I think it’s tough to screw up bar food. Keep your fry-​o-​lators clean and your flat top hot, and you’re in business. Not so fast, my friend. Barnaby’s taught me otherwise.
I had the buffalo chicken sandwich, which was a skimpy tasteless piece of fried chicken breast on a regular store brand hamburger bun (the kind I use in the the backyard barbecue). All this with cold bland fries, and this turned out to be a mediocre meal.
C’mon, you can do better.

Barnaby’s in the Havertown area is the place you want to be at. A great place to enjoy any kind of event to a casual get together. Great bars, 3 to be exact located in this establishment. If you are crazy about any of the sporting events and can’t get to the venue, than this is where you want to be. They also have a great happy hour going on over here, so why not cruise on in.

*** The Deck, Bar 1 ***
How can you go wrong, with that huge deck with flat screens hanging everywhere outside. It is built to satisfy you in all types of weathers, from that early spring to late fall with the heat lamps, down to the cintrella torches. Picture it, you are sitting outside, catching a game, enjoying the time with your loved one, the company of friends enjoying life. Their kitchen makes some great dishes for you to eat and enjoy. These guys have some great bartenders slinging out your favorite crafts or concoctions. Just sitting at that ginormous bar or high table nothing can compare to the outside festivities they offer.
*** The Main Entrance, Bar 2 ***
As you enter Barnaby’s you are greeted with a hostess who is protecting that take section like it was life. There is another bar located to your left with seating outlining it. Great selection of taps, fully stocked to keep the party going. Plenty of seating as in booths and tables if your not into sitting at the bar with a plethora of TVs. No matter where you sit bar or table you have a great vantage point. To the right as you enter is the dining room where you can escape the madness of the raging sports fan. (I am one of those fans mind you)
*** The Down Stairs, Bar 3 ***
This is where everyone who wants to do a little boogie goes. Downstairs also another good sized bar with a little more. This area has a pool tables, some sporting games and provides a D.J. for the tiny dancer in you. The area does attract a crowd where the women finally have «their time «after the game has ended. If the women are forced to sit with their boyfriend or husband for 2 – 3 hours, guys you can do the same for her.
Barnaby’s has one of the biggest parking lots that is cut into 2 sections. If the main lot is full you can cross over into the secondary one. Sometimes when both are full you can park at the hospital located next door.
They have a great staff, great food from the appetizers down to the desserts, plenty of TVs. Another plus is that they have great access points coming off the blue rt. so there is no confusion, you can’t get lost.
Go in, enjoy a few libations, or go and dance if you want. I won’t stop you, you might even see me on the deck or inside.

If you are looking for sports bar paradise Barnaby’s may send you into ecstasy! There are two sides to this place; the bar and the restaurant. This review is just for the bar and it is about as good as it gets for suburban sports bars. Let’s look at why these guys have been packing them in for 15 years.
* Easy access 30 seconds off the Blue Route exit for Havertown.
* A giant parking lot.
* About a bazillion TVs that are nicely labeled on game days. You are definitely going to see your game here.
* Competent bartenders. Many have been there for over five years. It doesn’t hurt that lots of them are beautiful women.
* Gastro Pub food. Way better than your usual bar food. The entire restaurant menu is available at the bar. House made soups that are excellent. Special requests are no problem. Want your burger «Cajun»? No problem. They’ll make it happen. Cheesesteak eggrolls are to die for. They are house made and served with this incredible spicy ketchup.
If you are in the burbs and looking for a game day venue, Barnaby’s may be just the place!
