Even though we waited, were polite and tipped they would not put us on the wait list to go to the patio. They actually laughed at me in a group at the front desk and denied me without even trying. We sat the whole night while everyone walked outside in groups to the patio to sit, drink and enjoy the fun music. The only server that was remotely kind to us was a woman named Steph. read more

Terrible custumer service from begining to end. The men that stand at the door and check your id should greet you with a smile. What is all the tuffness for?The bartenders and servers suck as well. Overall they are just hanging out and not doing their work. read more

Their biggest problem for customers is probably their greatest strength as owners. It's too crowded. Every time I go on a Friday or Saturday night, I never can get a seat at the bar or get a drink. The few times I've gone, I've ended up walking out. It's frustrating to be so close to a bar but unable to be served because every seat is taken. And there's nowhere to grab the bartenders attention. When I've gone in, they are always friendly and nice when they check your ID at the front. But, I can't seem to get a drink... oh well... good for Barnaby's but sucks you can't get a seat, drink, or service... I won't return. read more

Used to come all the time for lunch/dinner when I lived closer, but when I moved i stopped going as frequently. Tonight I got a hankering and drove a ways to get some great apps and wings. Apparently, the kitchen isn't open past 10:30. Nowhere on their website does it say their kitchen hours are different than their listed hours. Can't say much about their food as I am a creature of habit and only ever consistently ordered wings and potato skins. Of all of the burgers I tried, they were all fairly mediocre. read more

Great local pub in Aston, PA for a bite and a beer. If you are going here for the first time I'd suggest getting the buffalo chicken salad or the chicken parm grinder as both are very tasty. I rated Barnaby's as a 4 because at certain places in the restaurant you won't have cell service. If you are going for a quick lunch be sure to grab a spot towards the back of the bar as it tends to crowded here (especially during the holidays) so your service will be quicker there vs. at a table. read more

Barnaby's is simply a bar. That serves food. It can also accomodate large and rowdy groups. We came on a relatively quiet Monday night (thank goodness) with our 7 year old who promptly told me she hates it there. DH & I both had half priced burgers (Which for $4.50 each was a great bargain.) Service was fine - nice young gal. Food was unremarkable. Not my cup of tea, but I bet we'll be back - it's very close to our new house. read more

This is a good local bar to go during the day with good food and good prices for drinks; however, over the weekends specially at night its a different story. Unfortunately gets too crowded with some crazy people... be really careful on the street as people believe this road is a race track specifically after drinks.. read more

See all

Went to Barnaby's a weekend ago with friends. This was maybe the second time we'd ever visited the place. We were there for about three hours in our little spot when a bouncer approached us and told me I had to take off my hat or I'd have to leave. My friends pointed out others in the bar with hats on but didn't help. I asked the manager if he supported this and surprisingly he did. We left without incident and won't be back. read more

I didn't go here for a long time because there are a lot of dismal reviews. Don't let the bad reviews keep you away. It's an "A-OK" place. The food is okay, usual pub food/American style food that the area typically serves. Nothing super special, but good, solid food. Lots of seating, nice space. You won't ever worry that you won't get seating except maybe at happy hour. The happy hour specials are served only at the bar area, and there's limited seating there. There are drink specials every day except weekends. There are also events most nights. Tuesday night is some kind of bingo. The bar area music can be loud sometimes, just sit in the dining room or out on the porch if it bothers you. Contrary to a prior review, the fact that it overlooks the parking lot isn't a big deal. I've been there a handful of times now, at different times of day and night and never had a problem with exhaust. At night they light little tiki torches on the porch, which keeps the bugs away and provides a nice atmosphere. Pool tables, bar inside, bar outside. 3 stars for a restaurant. 4 stars for a friendly neighborhood bar. read more

Issues with female staff harassing and intimidating a female patron telling her to never come back due to personal off the job issues... The harassed female loves Barnabys but went home in tears just because she wanted to hang out with friends read more

Always a nice ambiance to the place. Excellent food and plenty of TVs to watch the games on. Reasonably priced with ample portions. Can get quite noisy and hard to hear anything which of course increases the noise. The outdoor deck is now open and beautiful to sit out in the late afternoon. read more

I always enjoy the food here. Only thing I don't recommend is the boneless wings because they are a weird bite sized chicken bite that doesn't taste good. Also if you are an ice tea lover like I am (I like unsweetened) I highly recommend not getting the ice tea here at this location. The other Barnaby's is okay but the one is Aston has the worst ice tea I've ever tasted. read more

Barnaby's is really more of a bar/club than a restaurant... We've eaten there a number of times over the years and it's been just so-so... It's pretty popular among the area's young people, but I fear my days of bar-hopping to Barnaby's have been over for quite some time! read more

First visit was better than the second. My beer tasted fine and I enjoyed my bacon/barbeque burger (even if it wasn't cooked to the way I ordered it). Bartenders were friendly and so were the staff. My second visit was worse, that's for sure. It appears like the beer lines were dirty, Goose Island Chrismas and Brooklyn Winter Ale tasted off. The bartender took the first one back but I didn't have the heart to complain about the second one. My Corona on tap tasted fine, and so did the bottles. French onion soup was passable--it tasted a bit too pre-prepared (there's gotta be a packet of powder back in that kitchen)--but it was only $4, so what do I expect? French fries were not hand cut and came to me lukewarm (I prefer them piping hot and to be the first thing I eat on my plate with my burger). My horseradish, bacon burger was good--cooked-to-order (in fact a bit too rare, but I'm O.K. with that). Philadelphia spoils me, that's for sure. I think two stars for this place is generous. But the staff is friendly, so is the Quizzo host, and it is affordable. I don't have a context for food in the 'burbs, but if this were in Philly, it'd be getting one star. read more

We like this place a lot!!! Everything on the menu is really good. Plus they have some unique foods, the menu is not at all limited to just your typical pub foods. Love their shrimp tacos! Yum! And their wings and nachos are great too. This is our go to place to have good bar food & have a good time! The employees are very friendly and I like the atmosphere too. Not to mention I left my purse on the back of the chair there once and the waitress must have picked it up right away because I called for it 10 minutes later and the hostess had it. Very honest and kind! Everything was just the way I left it in my purse which is how it should be! read more

We recently moved behind here so were excited to build a rapport. We have now been about six times and tonight was the worst of four bad visits. I ordered a small salad and hot wings. The salad didn't come until the wings, so they sat. Once I started eating I noticed they were mild. I like spicy, so I stopped after a couple and waited for the waitress. 15 minutes before she got back to our table... And I explained the product and asked if she could just exchange the ones I didn't eat. She wanted to argue and check the order etc. I said never mind and said I'd take them home and asked to see a manager. 10 minutes later she brought more wings with some side sauce and explained that the manager wasn't coming. I asked for the bill. There was no discount - we were expected to pay the whole thing. I paid the bill and went to Zac's for a burger. Bad management begets bad service. Seriously - the manager wouldn't even come to the table!! read more

I have been to this Barnaby's location many times. It is great to grab something quick to eat and their food is always great! My go to is the buffalo chicken egg rolls! They are always amazing. I usually split them with someone because they give you 3 big egg rolls cut in half. They have great specials each day of the week with discounts menu items. I have gotten a huge cheese steak with fries for $7.00! The portions are always large and I end up taking half of my food home. I enjoy it because I get two meals out of what I order and for a reasonable price. The burgers are also a great option. I have tried a few but my favorite is the mushroom swiss. There is another one that has bbq sauce which is amazing. Along with the food specials there are always great drink specials. You can usually get some type of beer for $2.00 or $2.50. Can't go wrong with that! read more

The food was good although a bit salty. And the service was friendly until the waitress asked to keep a tip that was 70% of the bill.

This is my best friend's local haunt. I came here after my new year's jaunt in Dallas. After three days of drinking. dancing, raving, shuffling, not sleeping, not eating, laughing and crying....I needed food and best friend time. I had a chicken sandwich with bacon and honey mustard. YUM. I also had a dirty martini and way too many ketel sodas. Woops. The week between christmas and new year's was straight abuse to my body, but oh well! No idea on the price, since I wasn't allowed to pay. But I think my sandwich was like $7? read more

This DJ hates Ariana grande and now I'm MAD 1 Star. Find a new DJ. DJ FINNISE SUCKS. he plays music that I listened to at my 6th grade st Kevin's dance. Welcome Also the new DJ Won't play all I want for Christmas is you. All I want for Christmas is for this DJ to play all I want for Christmas is you. I said no one was happy with his song selections and he said he didn't care. I'm upset. read more

Very diverse and fun crowd, I haven't tried their food though I have been and tried their alcohol as an after hours spot. Me and my friend usually go around 10 or so on a Saturday night and it is slowly becoming our go to spot if we don't want to head to Philly for drinks. We end up having a blast and usually feel safe enough to leave drunk ( no driving of course). Staff is okay, some of the security guards aren't very nice but no worries when the clientele is leaving the bar drunk there isn't much reason to be pleasant. Our first night we asked for a long island ice tea and got a drink with lemon and a ton of vodka. It got us drunk very quickly which I wasn't a fan of. I have had a long island ice tea before and it didn't get me drunk that quickly, long islands for me are like a slow creeper that has me in denial that I might be drunk. I have had a long island before tsk tsk to the bartender that tried to fool me, especially on my favorite drink. But overall we have been there multiple times and will most likely be back, its good for a chill night with friends or a friend just to shoot pool, dance and get drunk. Food shut down at about 10:00pm So if you want food with your alcohol you will be disappointed, NO APPETIZERS D; read more

I've been here so many times over the last ten years. We stopped by earlier this week on the way home from a museum trip and the food was just OK- before, I used to LOVE their burgers. This time- it was overcooked. Meh. Overall, I like Barnabys for what it is- and with that being said (and I HATE this phrase), it is what it is- a cool building in an old mill town with an adequate selection of bar food (read: frozen and likely deep fried.) They have good daily specials and have a friendly and helpful staff. read more

Threw a christmas paty here for 3 years. Decided to stay after for a little, big mistake. Got thrown out for wearing a beanie hat. Staff has a complex. Would never return read more

We came here close to closing time and were welcomed! Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. She didn't rush us despite the late hour. We ordered a bunch of apps which were all delicious. We also ordered margaritas and orange crushes which were great! Of all the locations, this was definitely my favorite!! Also--there are TVs all over this place. This is an awesome place to watch a sorting event!! read more

I've been to this Barnaby's a couple of times now, and each time experienced consistently decent service and food. We start (always) with the cheese steak egg rolls, served with a spicy ketchup. They get points for crispy flavor and cheesy goodness. My meals in the past (salad, burger) haven't stood out particularly, but the fajitas I got the last time we were worth mentioning. I got a large sizzling skillet of veggies and chicken and lots of fixins on the side to dress them up. My one complaint was my tortillas, wrapped in a piece of foil while warm, stuck together. Small potatoes, though, since everyone else enjoyed their meals as well - veggie burger, taco salad, roast pork sandwich, wings. I tried some fries as well, and they do a damn fine job at those too. Our server was quick, refilled drinks before we even knew they were empty, and made us feel right at home. Barnaby's is a solid pick in the area, and in quite a beautiful location too! read more

The food is very salty... couldn't even eat more than 3 truffle fries. I know food is supposed to hold flavor, however all the food from this establishment held salt.. not gonna order from here again or recommend it. Maybe if they took the main ingredient of salt out of their recipes by %75... then maybe.. also their wings are small and overcooked... not the best read more

We've gone here periodically, and we really, really want to like it, since it's the closest restaurant to our house. Heaven knows we need some decent restaurants in the culinary wasteland that is Aston - we don't want to always have to drive to Media. We went recently - it was kids eat free night, plus fajitas night, plus cheap Ying Ling drafts. What's not to like? It's hard to mess up fajitas, right? Well, they managed. It must have been a food service pre-packaged mix - the mushy peppers and onions were mixed in with the meat in a vaguely Mexican-flavored mix and served with tepid tortillas, yellow rice, and refried beans. It wasn't awful, but I can make much better fajitas on my own by cooking the veggies separately from the meat on the grill. The sauce on the kids spaghetti and meatballs was also just barely OK. No complaints on the beer, at least - Ying Ling is Ying Ling. We also felt sorry for the poor person who had to dress up as Bob the Builder and circulate around entertaining the relatively few children who were there at the time. My kids are a bit old for Bob, but felt obligated to high five him on each of the many times he stopped by our table. However, we do give Barnaby's credit for at least trying to provide family entertainment. We appreciated the free kids meals and our two $2.50 drafts, but the food prices are a buck or two too high (at least) for the quality being delivered. Ca't say we'd rush back there. Too bad - we'd really like to be able to pop in regularly since it's so close. In fairness, I have to say that the service was fast, and the staff very friendly and attentive. read more

It's a standard bar, in the vein of TGIFridays or Ruby Tuesdays. Lots of nonsensical crap on the walls and reasonable bar food. Our waitress was very friendly but definitely didnt have a good understanding of the beer selection. I asked what was available on draft but that proved fruitless, so I just ordered from the bottle/can menu. For appetizers we had nachos and cheese fries. Both used the same type of cheese, which I'm pretty sure was cheez wiz. not bad on the fries but not a good option for nachos. the nachos also had chili (sub par), salsa (sub par), and jalepenos. the chips on the nachos were also pretty low grade. everyone enjoyed their entrees. burgers looked good, buffalo shrimp wrap was good, veggie burger wasn't bad. overall the place is fine if you want friendly service and standard bar food. i wouldnt rush back for food, but it's not a bad spot if you want to meet a group of friends. read more

While I usually go to Barnabys because the food is good, I was thoroughly disappointed that the staff was not following the state guidelines due to COVID. I've visited a couple times since they reopened and the last time I went, the waitress and food servers were NOT wearing a face mask. Some of the other workers had a mask around their neck, not their face. I feel like they were following the protocols the first few weeks but now have become too relaxed. I will not go there again due to the lack of safety and concern for their guests. read more

this place is so grate, i am so glad i was able to eat hear, let me show u my amazing food. everyone should have a nice time heare, their are rightings on the wall and that pretty cold. oh, and i have epilepsy so my righting mite be bad read more

Barnaby's Aston - Bars Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

Great local spot with an amazing deck during great weather. The staff is amazing and the food is good. I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out. During football season they have on all of the games as well. read more

I came to place for a nice relaxing and SAFE meal. NONE of the employees were wearing masks at all, even while they were delivering our food and even talking to us. I'm MAD that this restaurant doesn't care about their customers safety. Also rude server was rushing us out of the door the entire time read more

Came here with a friend for lunch. Nice beer on tap. Loved the 2SP lager. We had bang bang tacos and chicken italiano. The service was great too. read more

Been awhile since I've been here and probably the second time ever getting food from here...me and my husband came in for apps...simply put, the food sucked. I ordered the fall egg rolls and chicken nachos and it tasted straight up nasty. The nachos did not taste fresh at all and the chicken on it tasted fake and it was either old or frozen. How can you mess up nachos?!?!? We only ate them because we were starving and drinking... not going back there again. read more

Went to barnabys Aston yesterday around 5pm. The menu said half price starters from 4:30 to 6:30 Monday to Friday. We ordered 2 starters, wings and a few drinks. Got the bill and they didn't give me 1/2 price for the starters. I said something and the waitress said we don't do that anymore. She wouldn't honor what was on the menu. FALSE ADVERTISING read more

I've eaten here several times for lunch, Salads are very good, prices are very good. I highly recommend The cranberry pecan salad with grilled chicken. read more

Made a reservation for 4:00 on Saturday & was told they would try for 4:00 but possibly would be more like 4:15 but patio & bar I was told was open & we could try there. I said fine. We show up Saturday & we were greeted with complete rudeness & immediately was told they called me to change my time to 5 which I never received that message. We saw a table in the bar area so we said we would just take that. They said it was too small & instead of helping us try to make it work they just were more rude. We pulled a couple chairs over from bar which was completely open & they yelled about that. What's it matter if we are paying for drinks/food at bar or at table?! We are paying costumers! Usually restaurants want your business & try to help you & make it work, it here! They didn't even look if outside was available. Won't be back read more

The positives here are the service. I always find the staff to be great with the kids. Gave the 2 star rating because I remain disappointed with the food. With the amount of menu space they dedicate to their self-hyped wings you would think that they would be out of this world. Instead you get dry chicken wings sharing a plate with a teeny tiny container of bleu cheese. many of their options just seem to be of the heat and serve variety. All of their locations are in great spots and provide a decent sports themed atmosphere. They have the potential to be be better, much better. read more

I come here only because of work events but I have been less than impressed with the service each time. This recent visit the bartender informed people that the special was "all domestic drafts $2" and then later told guests that only included miller, lager and coors. News to me that Blue Moon & Shock Top weren't domestic. They only had one import on draft (Guinness) so this was false advertising. read more
