Barnaby's USED to have the best french dip...its gotten worse and the price has slightly increased. Coupled with the overabundance of big beer (budmillercoors) and way too many IPA's, for a stout and bock fan like I am, their beer selection leaves much to be desired. (I had heard rumors that if they got something nice, the bartenders would shuttle it away in their cars). Gets really packed on a game night, even in the dining area, and makes it tough to want to bring the family in. Its at least better than cooking.
Review Source: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. Â

                     *** 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.
