21 Best Cocktail Bars near Exton

“We celebrated our 50th anniversary at this particular Chop House in Exton. Excellent service, incredible food, delicious beverages. We ordered appetizers, and specialty drinks, our server Orville was so attentive and definitely knew the menu. The general manager, Maureen stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary and make sure everything was as it should be. The service and food exceeded our expectations, it always does. Maureen seems to be an amazing role model to her staff, she is the manager, but you definitely find her with “hands on”, it’s incredibly obvious how much respect they have for her. Our main entree was prepared perfectly. Dessert was not only perfect in presentation it was delicious! I cannot say enough about this location. From the time you are greeted by the hostess till it’s time to leave, you are made to feel special. Chop House in Exton, Pa you are the BEST!❤️“

“This place is awesome in every way. Great food, great beer, and a phenomenal environment. But what really makes this place top notch is the service. My wife and I and our three young kids have been in multiple times and every single time, staff goes out of their way to make us and our kids feel beyond welcome, which is not the case at many other establishments. Our kids leave with as big of smiles on their faces as we do and that is all because VK staff ALWAYS goes above and beyond. Can't say enough about this place. Looking forward to continuing to support VK!“

“Waited 40 minutes for hush puppies while the restaurant was nearly empty at 3pm. Primary food order came 5 minutes later and my son’s order was wrong. It’s a shame because the food is good. But the service has been so slow both times I’ve been here. They did comp his meal. Just expect to wait a while and enjoy your drinks. Don’t come if you’re in a hurry.“

“I’ve recently had several meals and drinks in the bar area. Food was delicious and drinks were great. Their house salad and pasta dishes are amazing!“

“Emily M our server was fun and helped make dinner enjoyable. Food was good but Emily made it even better. Thanks Emily“

“Amazing experience at The Pear last night! Matt and Francesca were both wonderful. Delicious food. If you haven’t made it out here yet definitely book a res and go. Soooo good.“

“What a perfect venue for our daughter's engagement party. We were so happy with the staff and the food. The Polo Room felt so warm and welcoming, like someone's home instead of a restaurant. We were complimented by our guests as to what a lovely time they had. Only negative is that the time went by too quickly!“

“We were visited two time in this month, Food was delicious!“

“I just held a 40th birthday party at Lock 29. Everything was great. The space was perfect, everyone raved about the food and cake (some people said it was the best cake they’ve ever had!), The servers were awesome, they made sure everyone had what they needed and did a great job keeping things organized and clean throughout! I would recommend parties here to any of my friends and family! Everything was exactly what I wanted!!“

“Sopes, enchiladas delicious“

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!“

“Gorgeous setting, delicious food and friendly staff. We will be back 🥂“

“I ordered pad thai. It was very good. But there was noone there, (2 tables) and it took a really long time to order, I missed a bus. The overhead in Phoenixville is probably high but the cost and the wait was too much. She seems nice, there were three staff people and only two tables though. Hm. pretty inside. :/“

“I had a fantastic experience at Santino’s Tap & Table in West Chester PA. I went of a mini vacation to visit some friends in that area. I was starving when I got off of the plane, and met my friends outside of the airport. When I got into the car I made a comment about being a tad hangry haha. I was then told we have the perfect place for you. My friends took me to Santino’s Tap & Table and let me tell you it was amazing in every way possible. The restaurant was very clean, nicely set up and the staff were very friendly and very informative when asking questions about the menu. This place has it all appetizers, entree’s, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, soup and salads, a brunch menu, breakfast and even a children’s menu for the kids in your family that are picky eaters. Speciality cocktail menu, along with a full bar with knowledgeable bar tenders. I started off with a water, then decided on a Blood Orange Bourbon Sour it was perfectly balanced and a very good drink to chose. Looking through their Winter Menu they had a wide variety to chose from. For and appetizer i chose the Shrimp Lejon it was so delicious! For my main dish of the night I decided to try the Short Rib& Portabella Mushroom Ravioli hands down one of the best things I have tasted. The service was fast and efficient, the staff was so nice and knowledgeable. I left very impressed, with a full stomach and was fully satisfied. If I’m ever in the area again I will definitely make it a priority to stop by Santino’s Tap& Table. Go check it out for yourself, you will not regret it!“

“Most pre-fix menus are smaller portions of the regular menu but not here. The caesar salad was big as well as 2 pieces of sea bass. The bread pudding was enough for 2 people. Well worth the price. For a Sunday night, i was surprised it was not busy. Definitely will be going back.“

“Very comfortable spot to dine if you're staying at The Desmond or in the neighborhood. delicious entrees, friendly and attentive staff.“

“We’ve been here three times now and I have to say, this is probably the best food you can buy in West Chester. We are working our way through the entire menu and every offering has been spectacular! My personal fav so far has been the oysters as an appetizer followed by the halibut for dinner. Wow! My wife has loved the gnocchi and striped bass as well. And the authentic French onion soup is a show stopper. A great dining experience every single time. Keep up the phenomenal work!🥂“

“I had gnocchi bolognese, my husband had penne with Pesto and mozzarella (burrata). The waitress was really nice and we had a great meal!!!“

“We had our second visit to the stables last night. We experienced their new menu. Being gluten-free I really appreciated the options. My boyfriend also loved his meal and dessert! Both times we’ve been there we’ve experienced some of the really awesome staff. From the great manager to the servers, specifically, Hannah and Jack.“

“We attended an event here awhile back and we’d definitely go back. I believe it was their grand reopening. It was a vibe overall. The food was decent. I’d probably stick to appetizers unless in the mood for tacos. The drinks were definitely the star of the show.“
