17 Best Cocktail Bars near West Chester

“First time here. Good food and service! Only 'ding' is alcoholic drinks were weak and, the vanilla gelato did not taste like it but more likely ice cream. Gelato is creamier than ice cream. And it was not a scoop but more like 2 tablespoons. For $3, would expect a little more 'gelato'. Overall, good experience and would try again.“

“Lovely anniversary dinner with my wife. Everything was wonderful and our server, Nick, was fantastic. Only two tiny recommdations because I am a nutty perfectionist. Instead of the cherries with the foil gras, I would have preferred a cherry reduction drizzle and I would have served the caviar garnish with the halibut in a way that kept it cold. Serving it on top of hot fish warmed it which made it less enjoyable. Still a five star experience and we'll be back soon. This restaurant is just what WC needs!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!❤️“

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.“

“Great experience with Mike our server. We were looking for something different off of restaurant row and out of town and decided to check this out. Pleasant staff and food was good.

“We held a gathering at VK Brewery after a memorial service across the street, and they were fantastic. The food and service were both excellent. We arrived a little earlier than expected, and it was no problem at all—they welcomed us warmly and made everything easy. Great experience overall. We’d definitely use them again for another event.“

“the food and drinks were incredible but the staff was even better. I had lost or had my wallet stolen last night and the staff there took time out of their shift to get on their hands and knees and help me look. the manager was very helpful and pulled the camera footage quickly and we went through it together. Thank you Letty’s Staff for everything“

The chips and hard shell tacos are terrific and created in house. Great selection of margaritas and beers. Lots of tv’s for us sports fans and a big outdoor area for kids. Chill vibe. Get here now!“
