This review would be four stars if the smoke wasn't so overwhelming in here.
They have a good beer selection and awesome bar food. Â I've always had good service at the bar and decent service at a table. Â Once, there was a small problem where the bartender was really busy and never put our food order through to the kitchen. Â We were happy to wait once we reminded her and didn't expect anything at all in return, but she still gave us a free round and was extremely apologetic. Â
If you're not into huge crowds of the 21 year old set, I'd hit this place up on a weeknight as weekends tend to be overly mobbed and a little annoying.
Yes the bar food is the best, and yes smoking is a big problem. Â Just wanted to mention for serious pool shooters that this is one of the best bar pool venues in Bucks. Â Three tables nicely maintained, and they even have some decent house sticks. Â The pool tables are in a separate area so there is never a space problem and you are not bumping into people gathered by the bar. Â It's a buck a rack, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Review Source:Great food. Smoky. Every time I come home from there, I smell like smoke. There are many successful spots that have banned smoking, get on the wagon, guys. As a former smoker, I can safely say "It is not difficult to step outside to smoke". Who wants to breathe in cigarette smoke while trying to eat some of the best wings around?
Review Source:A strip mall. With a bar in it.
Two girls in hot pants ( I think one pair was terry cloth) and big hair stumble in...the sun still out.
Friday night around 7, pre party drinkie drink with fellow wedding guests. It's like...a Bennigan's, with no annoying waitstaff.
Good service, your average drinks, dimly lit and heavily air conditioned. That's what I like.
Pretty diverse crowd, from the 30 something table we sat at (god, I'm getting old), to the kids who just got out of school for the summer or the tanning salon next door, to granny in a wheelchair watching the game with her son. Bailey's pretty much covers it all.
And I can definitely see the awkward middle age white guy dance/stance going on...much to the server's dismay.
Who knew this strip-mall bar was this huge inside? Â My days in the Langhorne-Newtown-Levittown area were mostly before my legal-to-drink years, so I missed out on Bailey's. Â Not so when I went back with an old friend and her husband after the wedding and before the reception to get our seedy-dive-bar thing on.
From the looks of it on the outside, I expected an instant punch in the gut when I walked in the door just as a friendly hello, but it turned out to be friendly and pretty tame. Â Inside it's huge with a few different areas - sit-down area, square-bar-you-can-sit-around area, and pool tables galore. Â And lots of kitsch on the walls. Â Properly divey.
My cousin got the (let's call it the "Eye of the Tiger") look checking out some already-drunk chicks who were stumbling sideways from their Camaro across the parking lot into the bar. Â Scantily clad drunk chicks. Â It's still daylight out, mind you, on a Friday. Â Instinctively, he sensed easy prey. Â But, older and wiser, he decided not to bring the chicks from the bar to the wedding reception. Â You see, it's not enough to have the Eye of the Tiger, you must have the patience and judgement of the Lion. Â Or something like that. ;-D
Oh, and this is NOT the kind of place that should have an "e" after Grill.
I'll make this short and sweet. If you're over the age of 30, skip the clique-bar, and order the wings for take-out. The wings are amazing (especially the sweet and spicy) and delicious. The best thing about this place is the bar-food.
If you're under the age of 30, and are looking for a place that has weekend cover bands every weekend, this might be the place for you. But be forewarned, if you're not a regular, you will get stares from the patrons as well as the bartenders.
This review may be a bit biased though, since I am not a drinker, and only get the take-out for their awesome food. You CAN choose to eat in the bar area, but its smokey beyond belief and loud.
Hope this helps some folks who like the food, and not always a drink.
Bailey's is a Levittown bar, through and through. Â This is definitely a place to check out the "local flavor" category. Â It's pretty big, loud, smoky, and full of interesting clientele, to say the least. Â I once saw a girl wearing a shirt as shorts (basically tied around her waist with the arms passing between her legs and tied back up at her waist), and her friend was just as tackily dressed. Â This place also often features ugly middle-aged white guys awkwardly dancing to an 80's cover band with the blonde much younger bimbos who are their dates. Â Personally, I think this bar is fun because of the great people watching opportunity it presents.
Don't get me wrong, the bar also has a lot of normal, fun 20-somethings on the weekend. Â The beer is cheap, and the cover bands are usually okay (just too loud and, well, they're cover bands, so don't expect too much). Â I've had a few car bombs and a lot of fun here in the past (although the car bombs might account for why I thought it was so fun there - being drunk makes everything better).
