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...
I used to come here often but it seems like the prices keep going up and the food keeps getting worse. Â I used to love the Taco Bites and the lettuce wraps but not so much anymore. Â The Taco Bites used to be the best thing on the menu and I couldn't even order them last time I Â was there. Â Also, the drinks are way too expensive. Â I hate how the prices have went up so much in the last couple of years.
The best part about Bradley's is the atmosphere and the entertainment. Â The atmosphere is nice here because the restaurant is right on the intercoastal. Â The entertainment is always good but it got really rowdy the last time I came to watch the NFL on Sundays so I will never go back on a Sunday.
Great view didnt overcome an overpriced menu, slow service, and tasteless food. I took the waitress's recommendation for the best thing on the menu (chicken caprese panini) - I had three bites and couldn't finish it. Hubby had a chicken Caesar salad that was quickly abandoned. Â Their fish dip as an appetizer was pretty good and very well priced, saving them from a one star review.
Review Source:I was in West Palm as a SunFest sponsor...that was me at the Friexenet booth giving away free samples! I preface this review that I was there for SunFest because I highly doubt Bradley's usually looks like this when there isn't a 200,000 person festival right outside their front door. Does it usually turn into a crazy bar on Sunday nights?...I have no idea, but here is my experience:
We came to Bradley's after we tried to leave SunFest on Sunday night at 10pm. We sat in traffic for 30 minutes without moving so we decided to just pull over and get something to eat while the traffic dispersed. Mind you we've been working all day for 5 days at this crazy event and we were just tired and hungry. When we walked in and the place was PACKED with people having fun and the music was blasting. Pretty much everyone was wasted except for us.
I thought there was slim chance that we would actually be able to get some food but they sat us down immediately. Â And despite the ridiculous amounts of people being ridiculous around us, the drinks and food came out fast and very well prepared!
I may have gotten hit on by creepy drunk men and a crazy drunk girl took my glass of water off my table as I was about to take a sip but I laughed it off and overall I appreciate being able to get some good food and good service at 11 o'clock at night, amongst the craziness of SunFest debauchery. Thank you Bradleys!
We ate at ER Bradley's at 6 on a Sunday evening. The server was either inexperienced or overwhelmed (possibly both), so had a "drop and run" style..not great. The food was good, however, and I enjoyed the kale and quinoa salad. The noise level here was too high: music blaring through the speakers AND a live band playing loudly. A bit much, to say the least.
Review Source:Food has gone WAYYY downhill and is ridiculously overpriced- $16 sandwiches and $8 soup? Get real- walk down Clematis and you'll find much better food at a lower cost. This place is the definition of "Tourist trap". Although conveniently located when I'm working the Palm Beach Boat Show, I'll still go out of my way to avoid it.
Review Source:I'm super late writing this review. Â I visited ER Bradleys 3 years ago and assumed I had written a review long ago. Â I see from some of the more current reviews that some folks have had bad experiences. Â
But when I was there, I felt like this would be a place I would visit regularly if I lived there. Â Our drinks were fantastic, our apps and dinner were great. Â Service was decent. Â I loved the atmosphere. Â The whole open air Florida thing rocks hard. Â ER Bradley's is friggin GINORMOUS so there's tons of seating options, both indoors and out. Â I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was... I thought this would be all looks and no substance tourist trap kinda place. Â Not so at all. Â This was my most memorable meal of my trip to Florida. Â When I go back, I hope they will have gotten their act back together!
Came here yesterday afternoon for lunch to meet up with friends and started off with the chicken lettuce wraps with thin crispy wontons, mango and sweet and sour chili sauce was a great appetizer to begin with and especially for the first time. The prices are expensive but it's like a hit and miss, you just have to know what to order to enjoy the food and your company here.
The lunch salads are delicious. I had the steak gorgonzola (medium rate because I like my steak juicy, soft, and chewy). My greens were fresh and crunchy. Tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers were fresh. To top it off, I tried Bradley's homemade apple crumb cake which happened to be my last dessert for life and out was phenomenally great.
I really adore the outdoors ambiance and waterfront view. Birds freely welcome themselves in but there are signs that suggest customers to not feed the birds but it is kind of ironic since some of us are messy eaters and there are crumbs left on the floor so technically that action cannot be avoided. The staff are very friendly and patient, and assisting.
This place sucks.
The food is so insanely overpriced it's almost a joke.
A "Fish of the Day" sandwich was $21... ok fine. It's Mahi... ok fine, it should be a huge piece of fish then... WRONG! The mahi mahi was so small on the bun it was unbelievable. The ratio of fish to bread was about 1:3. Also, the french fries were cold. For $21, plus tax and tip you would expect so much better.
My orzo salad was also $17 and it was small, with barely any orzo, about 1/2 a chicken breast and 4 olives. It was all so ridiculous.
On top of that, there was a singer on Friday night that made it impossible to hear what your friends are saying at your table. And she was horrible at singing! We couldn't wait to get out of there!
I would never go back.
I've been here a couple of times, and I like it. Located at the eastern most point of Clematis Street in historic downtown West Palm Beach, there is a terrific view of the intercoastal waterway.
With guest or not, I'll sit at the outdoor bar on the south end of the premises. Cold beer, attentive bartenders (all females), and pretty good food.
I had the French Dip with fries on one particular visit. The Mediterranean appetizer is also pretty good. Â Looking forward to more visits.
Keep in mind this is a night time review of Bradley's. Â I've heard good things about their brunch, and I've been meaning to try it, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.,
Bradley's used to be good. Â Bradley used to be my spot in 2010. Â They had everything you could want. Â Good music. Â A great, diverse crowd. Â Cheerful bartenders. Â No cover. Â A dance floor (essential). Â This was the kind of place that was so much fun, I didn't mind that it was $9 for a shot of Jose Cuervo, Â or $7 for a Budweiser.
What the hell happened?!
Now, I recognize that public opinion shifts with the wind. Â However, typically when you start losing customers (in the case of Bradley's hemorrhaging) you make some changes to win those customers back. Â Perhaps you offer some drink specials. Â If you don't want to offer specials, maybe you lower your prices so that they are competitive with the other bars and clubs on Clematis Street. Â You could hire a great DJ to compliment the GREAT layout and location. Â Maybe Bradley's just doesn't want to be relative in West Palm Beach nightlife. Â I don't know. Â
With the exception of Respects, its not like I go to grimy places that charge next to nothing for drinks. Â I frequent WOB, Â Roxy's, The Rooftop, and Feelgoods. Â These may not be fancy places, but they definitely aren't any less nice than Bradley's. Â So tell me why I can get a nice pint of craft beer for $4-6 at WOB or a shot of good tequila at Feelgoods for $10 but have to pay outrageous prices at Bradley's. Â I'm certainly not paying a premium for the good time anymore. Â Which brings me to my next point.
Bradley's is a big place. Â It has a lot of open room right in the middle, which used to be a dance floor. Â A very packed dance floor. Â Surrounding it were numerous places you could just hang out with your friends. Â If I had to compare it to anything, the layout was similar to the Rooftop, only on a much larger scale. Â Now, since they don't have the crowd they used to, they put chairs and tables on what used to be the dance floor and large sections of the restaurant are EMPTY. Â This is too big of a space to have this kind of situation. Â It completely ruins the flow and atmosphere of the place in my opinion.
I'm usually not the type of person to complain. Â This is probably the most negative review I've ever written, but its coming from a place of love. Â Tough Love. Â Bradley's, I used to love you! Â I want to still love you! Â Please get your act together! Â I have so many good memories, I don't want to let you go! Â But you have to change. Â Bar Louie's opening up soon. Â Get your act together.
My family visited E R Bradley's 10 years ago during our last visit to the Palm Beach area. Â We stumbled upon this restaurant again and had a great lunch reminiscing. Â E R Bradley's is clearly a drinking establishment with a great location at the end of Clementis Street and the water. Â The food is upscale for your typical bar menu but still leaves more to be desired. Â
I ordered the grilled chicken, brie and blackberry panini which was relatively flavorless despite the rich ingredients. Â It came with a fresh fruit salad. Â Also eaten at my table was the brie appetizer, chicken caprese panini and the tuna salad. Â Overall the food was nothing to ooh and ahh over which my family usually does when dining out.
Best location off Clematis Street for watching the Kentucky Derby during SunFest. Â The food is not the attraction here, its the fact that its the closest bar to the Intracoastal and its got a great bar where pours are solid and great TV setup. Â The bathroom scene is always interesting with essentially co-ed restrooms. Â Bradley's is always the place we return to year after year during sunfest for great drinks and great conversation. Â Its truly the best bar in Palm Beach...
Review Source:Its all 'bout the view and a little salt air. Â Food was deent, but should be 1/3 price lower. Â Their markup on the food to compensate for the view is a bit much. Â Service sucks and is a direct result of poor management. Â We took some guest from out of town who wanted to sit waterfront there, generally we drive to Jupiter or hit Sailfish but this time they wanted downtown WPB. Â We went to Bradley's my first time there since high school when it was on the other side of the intercoastal. Â Long story short, service completely blew chunks. Â Waitress finally took drink order 20 minutes after being seated, food order another 20 minutes after that, food arrived 50 minutes after that! Â Top if off, when I got the bill she tacked on a 18% gratuity since we were over a party of 6. Â 2 out of our 6 were under the age of 4! Â We ended up going dutch but spacey waitress ran my card twice and ignored the other card included. Â She must have been distracted. Â I call management, who could have cared less. Â Anyways, I don't mind dropping $100 on a mediocre lunch and some cold beers, and even with bad service I tip 15% but this place is a joke. Â Last time they see my smiling mug for a while. Â
BTW, the dolphin sandwich was actually very good and cooked perfectly. Â I would have gone back just for that but I have principles..
Location, location, location: Right on the water in downtown Palm Beach. Â Bradley's has a huge patio, which is especially nice on warm days. Free valet parking + metered street parking.
Food for Thought: Menu is extensive with seafood specialties. Prices are average. I ordered the chicken and brie sandwich w coleslaw. It was a decent size and very tasty.
Service was great. Efficient, friendly ~
A solid 4 star joint.
Came here for a sibling brunch Christmas celebration the week before Christmas and had a blast. Â Our waiter was great and accommodating, although truth be told since we were there for brunch he didn't *need* to be at the table all that often-- he still was. Â Our drinks were always full (hooray endless mimosas!) and we really didn't need to wait on anything.
Overall, the staff we encountered were pleasant and awesome. Â The scenery was beautiful being out on the water (OK, across the street), and the general ambiance was perfect. Â The food was good and the brunch selection was vast. Â I love the new (to me since the last time I was in town) patio in the garden and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast.
Lots of memories have been made here. Â The place overlooks the intercoastal and it's the ideal place to have a drink or two while enjoying the downtown area. Â Most of the area is outside, so it's nice to enjoy the breeze while eating a meal or drinking it up. Â My surprise party was also held here, which was a great location for it. Â Free valet is a plus since it can be ridiculously expensive to park in the area.
Review Source:Another place that seems to be off on Fridays...
I've passed by Bradley's a couple of times before and it always had a descent crowd, not sure what happened this time.
Made our way to the outside bar, good thing is that we had the bartender's full attention. Â Carly (bartender) made us her signature shot, a 7 glasses rainbow which was pretty cool to see. Â Another cool thing is their jukebox, looks like a giant iPod with pretty neon green light around it, and a big "play" button that you just have to go and press it.
Inside, they had another bar, where we moved to after we couldn't stand the heat outside.
Even though drinks were good and bartenders were nice, it's not a place I'm thinking of going again.  There was really nothing special for  me to drive almost an hour to get there.  Yes, I had a good time but more because of friends than the actual place.
Bradley's Saloon get's 3 stars simply due to location - near the water, nice breeze, quiet area. Otherwise it's a Strong 2.
Met a friend for lunch. He didn't warn me that the food was not why you come to Bradley's. Rather it's the location. I ordered a chicken quesadilla. I swear the chicken was canned chicken, like tuna. I wouldn't feed that quesadilla to my worst enemy. He said his wrap sucked too.
Bartender/Server was attentive and friendly, but she left the plates instead of clearing the table when we said we were done. Oh yeah, she was done, her shift that it, got paid and bolted. Not very professional.
Next time, I'll eat before I go there to drink and enjoy the ambiance.
The survey asks if it's good for Dessert, Â Late Night, Lunch, Dinner, Â Breakfast, Brunch, I can't answer that question. It should give a Drinks option in this case.
Great view of the Intercoastal, huge outdoor seating area, breezy, cozy, TVs, a bar outdoors, nice chill place. The menu is American comfort food from salads, burgers, and sandwiches, with seafood entree's as well. We came here to watch the heat play. Our server was very good, bringing us our water and beer asap and he checked on us constantly.
Hubby ordered a burger and fries and I chose the Philly cheese steak. Oh I was taking a chance, so many places give you rubber meat. Our food arrived in good time, hubby devoured his cheeseburger before I took three bites of my sandwich. Yes, he liked it very much. Wow, my cheese steak was to die for. Bread was a delicious hoagie, and the meat, woah it was thin slices of what taste and looked like prime rib. Thin slices, plenty meat perfectly seasoned with great flavor, juicy, moist, oh man it was excellent. It came with onions and peppers, and I added mushrooms. The fries were hot and good as well.
We sat watching the game, the air was filled with such a nice breeze and we were comfortable drinking our beer. They never rushed us out and continued checking on us.
The sandwich was huge I could not finish it, so hubby enjoyed the rest.
Unfortunately they can not control what kind of patrons come in. As we were sitting there eating, watching the game two ladies what looked like mother and daughter, but the daughter was in her 30's sat directly across from us. Within ten minutes after we got seated a very large group got sat next to us. There must have been 20 of them, they were loud, having fun, looked like they were just enjoying being together. I thought it was awesome that they knew how to have fun. And my point is this very large group was dressed for the place, very casual, some skin showing on the younger girls with obvious tats. These two ladies were such stick in the mud byotches. Drinking their water with their little pinkies in the air, give me a break.
Long story short, they were miserable and kept rolling their eyes at this big group and making comments to each other. It was so sad watching how two people can be so miserbale in their lives. Um hello maybe you needed to go to a fine dining establishment to get your royal ass pampered. And this my friend's is why West Palm does not do it for me. To many people like this, otherwise it is a great place to hang.
Fly into PBI, go to ER Bradley's for lunch and cocktails, go to Jupiter. Â I do this every time I come into Florida. Â The location is great; right on the waterfront, and service is good, and the food is good. Â I like the mahi sandwich and they have cocktails that come in buckets. Â You're definitely going here for the location (at least for lunch, I've never been for dinner or drinks) and they have free valet.
Review Source:Awww, good ol Bradleys. Â This is one of those places that is decent for everything, but not necessarily great at anything.
And this, my friend, is what the average American absolutely loves. Â Average stuff.
One of the best things about Bradleys is its location. Â A cool view of the Intercoastal, along with the premium location that allows them to be the bar the farthest east of in City Place, Bradleys is uniquely positioned to "win", and honestly, it does. Â Always packed, diverse crowd. Â And filled with ppl that frankly wanna have a good time.
The problem is I have been to Bradleys and this is about as much as I can remember about it. Â Lacks character, but a cool spot for the "average joe."
Ok, let me start by saying this review reflects my third visit to E. R. Bradley's. Â Their food has always been good, the location can't be beat, and the staff seems friendly enough. Â Until last night it was one of my girlfriend's favorite spots in WPB.
Last night was my girlfriend's birthday so she chose to go to Bradley's. Â We arrived around 8:45pm and took a seat at the main bar. Â The bar didn't seem very crowded, maybe 10-12 people, and there were two bartenders working. Â Our bartender asked us what we'd like to drink fairly quickly and we asked for menus. Â We ordered and sat back to what we assumed would be a typical visit and anticipated a delicious dinner.
The food arrived without any major delays but the server scurried back to his den without asking if we needed anything. Â He literally almost just dropped our food off and ran away. Â We also were never given any condiments nor asked if we'd like some.
My girlfriend's salad arrived with no dressing. Â We assumed that it could have just been a simple error but when we looked for our bartender to let her know, she was nowhere in sight. Â The other bartender was at the other far end of the bar chatting up what appeared to be some of her regulars. Â She made no effort to see what was happening at the other end of the bar until another one of her regulars showed up and whistled loudly to catch her attention. Â She then served her friend and ignored everyone else and then went back down to the other end of the bar.
After 10-15 minutes of being ignored my girlfriend eventually leaves the bar to ask the hostess if we can get some assistance. Â She explains that she would like some dressing for her salad to which the hostess replies, "would you like it to go?". Â eventually the hostess comes back with a tiny, and I do mean tiny, cup of dressing and flies back to her perch.
Eventually our original bartender comes strolling back to the bar after having taken an apparent break. Â Not once does she ask us how we are doing or if we needed anything, such as refills on our obviously depleted drinks. Â We have to raise our voice to finally catch the attention of the other bartender who now gives us the evil eye for having raised our voices.
I'm finally able to get the check and immediately hand it back to the bartender with cash. Â She did not ask if I needed change, no did she go back to the till with the check and money, instead she puts it down on the bar in front of me and goes to take a drink order from her regular friend.
We ended up leaving and just left the $2 change as a less than deserved tip. Â Bear in mind I have not tipped due to an extremely crappy experience only once ever before last night.
I recently moved to WPB from Las Vegas so maybe I'm a bit spoiled by living in a city that takes its service industry seriously but I can assure you that this level of incompetence would never fly there. Â Apparently there's not enough competition in the area here, so businesses get away with this kind of crap. Â To this day my experience at E. R. Bradley's ranks as the singularly worst dining experience I've ever had. Â This wasn't a matter of slow service (that I can sympathize with), this was a matter of no service when there was no excuse for it.
So my friends and I are in West Palm Beach to enjoy the smooth sounds of Dave Matthews Band. Â After the show, we needed a place to unwind with some drinks and some people watching. Â Thanks to our waitress from Chilis, we heard about E.R. Bradleys. Â
The venue is pretty cool. Â They have a huge patio area that has three outdoor bars. Â Please bear with me on the details because my mind is still hazy. But anyways, ER Bradley's has a huge dance floor that could accommodate a lot of booties shaking. Â Ha-ha. I remember these two guys having a dance off and one couldn't keep his pants on and the other was doing splits. Â Although there weren't too many people there this place was not shy of visual entertainment. Â
As the night progressed (as well as the drinking), we relocated to the inside bar. Â Here is where things got crazy. Â We met some cool (and hot) bartenders. Â They rocked out and danced with us. Â So if you are ever in Bradleys make sure you say hi to Britney and Ashlynn (I think those are there names).
So if you are looking for some late night drinking (open until 4) by the beach make sure you hit up E.R. Bradley's. Â Who knows what you might see!
My wife and I stopped at ER Bradley's for late lunch during a drive up the Florida coast and loved it. Â Although with construction it was a bit hard to get to but once inside the staff was friendly and very accommodating. Â They have a nice view overlooking the inter coastal and a open air environment that was a cross between a nice restaurant and a good ol bar.
The food was very good as I had the sliders and my wife had to French Dip. Â Our appetizer of the quesadilla was very delicious as well. Â Not much more to say than that because overall it was a good dining experience. Â
I just wish we were around longer to hang out there at night as ER Bradley's looks like a very fun place for nighttime entertainment and drinking.
E.R. Bradlys, or "Bradlys" as we locals call it, is one of my favorite places to hang out. They have a pretty cool atmosphere here. When its not raining and they have the canvas walls rolled up, you get a nice ocean breeze.
The food here is pretty good and priced well. I like their sandwhiches but their entres are not bad at all.
For late night, their drinks are priced pretty good as far as downtown goes. You can drink cheaper elsewhere, but here you pay for the view. The view is worth it. They have two bars which makes drinking here easier when its busy. They also have plenty of seating.
The weekend is the best time to check this place out, but its not bad durring the week, either.
The view and setting was a 4. The food is about 1.8, too expensive for SYSCO food. Â I could've had the same lunch in a school cafeteria.
Eh, this is what happens when u get away from  the island.
LOTS of eye candy.  Lacking in food.  I did see some what appeared to be healthy portions of salad.  I got the cuban panini,  this was an insult to all cubanos. Por favor, discúlpame_ please forgive me.
the crazy thing was, i told my colleagues i had ate here before and it was mediocre,
but they didnt want to listen. I told em about yelp...... and we literally paid the price.
Bradley's is decent. The food is pretty good. It has covered outdoor, indoor and outdoor seating. I have only tried a few things on the menu there and I have yet to be disappointed. Bradley's is overpriced but they charge you for the view of the inter-coastal and the name. The service is always great though and Jan the manager is the best and always friendly and knows me by name.
It's always packed on weekends and thursday nights with drunk people and has a bunch of people dancing on the bar. I find this trashy, but most of Clematis has this stuff going on at night so it's usual. It's not my type of bar at night but it is an easy pick up bar only because everybody is drunk. I guess if that is your thing go for it. I'm not really down with that. They do have strong drinks, and because they  are grandfathered in they are open until 4 and able to serve alcohol.
I think it's a good place to go for a casual lunch and relax, have a drink or two on the water. But I wouldn't go there at night. It's more of a college bar and they also let a lot of young girls with fake ID's in at night time.
E R Bradley's is a cornerstone to West Palm Beach. Â If you've ever been through a serious hurricane in WPB you know that you can at least count on Bradley's to bail you out with a cold beer when your at the end of your powerless water boiling rope.
There are some great qualities to this place, one being it overlooks the Intercoastal and if you go at a regular dinner hour you can get a good casual meal. Â The crab cakes are my personal favorite (broiled), full of perfectly cooked fresh crab meat. Â Partnered with a cold glass of white wine can make for a nice evening. Â You can sit on the covered deck for lunch which comes in handy when people are in from out of town. Â You can get lunch and then walk up Clematis Street post meal. Â I hear the brunch is decent but I've never experienced it.
There is a definite bar crowd in this place and it is constantly packed at night. Â The crowd is mixed and funny to watch but it gets old real quick. There is an inner air conditioned bar but every time I've been in there I felt like I was stuck in a bad 80s movie. Â During SunFest they put up a tent and had one of those ride on bulls which some women thought meant "take your top off" or "ride it with a mini skirt and no panties" which I thought was pretty foul (although funny to watch these idiots).
Bottom line is, this is not your run of the mill "classy" place, just a convenient location to get a good meal. Â But get out of there if a crowded stinky bar with creepy old men isn't your scene.
