Let me think: what are two of my favorite things to do? A) drink cold beer. Â B) Watch boats go past as I sit by the water. Â Considering this, you can understand why ER Bradley's is one of my favorite spots in WPB. Situated right on the intercoastal, this place is a prime spot to enjoy the ambience of WPB and generally, to meet some friendly people.
Bradley's is much more laid back than some of the other spots, I've visited - especially those across the intercoastal in Palm Beach. But that is a whole different world, after all. I would compare it favorably to other great waterside spots I have frequented, like The Casino on Kelly's Island, Shooters in Cleveland, or The Lakeside on Torch Lake. Service here is always top-notch; bartenders are generally friendly (and nice looking) - prices are OK, too - Â especially happy hour from 4:30-6:30, when things are a little cheaper. Food is good here, too.
I've been here when it's crowded and not-so-crowded. Crowded is more fun. There always seems to be a nice mix of young-and-old, so it's easy to be comfortable and have a good time, since people here are mostly friendly and not trying to impress anyone. (If you are, head east over one of the bridges).
"Saloon" says it all. The point here is to settle back at the bar with a nice cold Corona and imagine Jimmy Buffet is going to show up at any moment. It's almost always 5 O'clock at ER Bradleys...
