I don't usually go out in Levittown and was already annoyed when we walked into Sparkys. Well, what a pleasant surprise! The fever dream of a 1990's dive bar come to life. It was all these christmas lights hanging up in the midst of giant inflatables and a live DJ on a Friday night. The ladies at the bar were friendly enough and we took our drinks by the pool table to wait our turn to play. Fair warning, playing pool here is not for beginners and the game is taken way more seriously than I anticipated. Thankfully the crowd was super friendly and we were chatting with most of the people playing pool as we enjoyed our drinks. They even played Elvis Crespo's Sauvemente at one point so we felt very welcomed! The only star I'm taking off is for the indoor smoking. As someone who went out during the smoking era all through the 2000's, I never realized how horrid that was. Even worse how bad it was when you got home and had to bathe and wash your coat and everything you owned. Otherwise, I very much recommend Sparky's for a night out, and hope to see them agan in the future.

In my opinion, it is the best gym around and it is truly a lifestyle beyond anything. The Escape is the perfect place to do exactly that.

Friends who were NAC members invited me to Escape Resort as their guest before Covid. Although I…read morehad been inside the facility several times over the years, I had never seen the new outdoor pools and water park theme up close. Have to say that while it appears to be an amusement park from beyond the fence with massive water slides and multiple aquamarine pools for various uses; from within it makes more sense and is actually quite attractive in a hyperactive way. Happy Hour with half price drinks was a good deal, and the bar food offerings were also well designed to complement the alcoholic drinks, if not all that tasty, nor compelling in their own right. So many people in a relatively small space around the bar, that conversation was a bit challenging. Plenty of alternative distractions among the many "beautiful" folks who enjoy being the center of attention, and know how to do it right, especially when encouraged with beverage. With music playing in the background the experience was a mixed bag. Clearly, the plan is a bit over the top, and made for people with kids or those who like this glitterati experience. Yet, there was a full house that evening, and business was booming. Covid put an end to the crowds for the last year, but I suspect the club will be back in action full tilt come vaccinations and reduced mask wearing. I'm the more cautious type, and will wait a while before accepting my next invitation.

Sat at…read morethe end of the not-very-busy bar & just watched the Phils & then looked over to see if she noticed a new customer at the nearly empty bar... Nope... Maybe an existing customer might want a drink... Nope, this girl isn't looking up for nothing, not a glance at people's drinks to see if perhaps they might need a refill, nor even acknowledge some new thirsty customer... WOW After 5-10 minutes of feeling like Casper the ghost, I just got up & left. I drove to Gleasons bar & it was packed, but unlike Hurricane Jacks the bartender girl there was the complete opposite! She saw me at a table in the corner because the bar was completely full & waved me over to the bar & asked me my name & put a beer in my hand in seconds... After that she noticed my beer was low & shouted my name from behind the bar asking if I needed another one. So where the &$@! do you think I'm going to get a drink during ice hockey season every damn week?! Not hurricane Jacks! Must be a missing manager issue ‍

Five Four Bar & Grill has a large U shaped bar, stage for live bands, pool tables, booth seating,…read moretable seating and an area to have a catered event in a private room. They can hold 20-500 people for private events according to their website. The inside is dark and could use a bit of a refresh, but I wouldn't say it's close to the level of dive. It's certainly on the larger side compared to most bars in the area. The staff has always been nice, but service can get slow when the crowd size grows. Just the nature of things. Food wise the menu has a typical mix of pub grub - apps, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers and several entrees. A friend was eating their jumbo Buffalo Shrimp off the starter menu and raved about them. I stuck to a Cheesesteak which was average but a deal at $9.50 -- the chopped steak was decent, cheese was good just needed a bit more. Hot peppers gave it some kick and the long roll was fresh. Their beer menu has around a dozen beers on tap. They dabble in more mainstream big beer/craft beer like your Goose Island IPA's/Lagunitas IPA, but do have a decent show of locals like Yards, Victory, Troegs and Weyerbacher. Bourbon wise I had a Knob Creek neat which was average price wise. The pour was on the generous side. Each time I've been here the crowds have been friendly and having a good time. The band we listened to was great and the sound was crisp. Five Four is a family friendly grill during the day and a fun place for adults later at night. Thanks guys!

Drift caught our eye and WOW I'm glad it did. With Brunch offerings every Sunday along with live music and endless pastas on Wednesday nights. Drift is raising the bar and is an entire vibe on Mill St. A handful of tables by the bar and a separate dining room or outdoor seating - all unique in their own way and each offer a different feel in the restaurant. Our server was a delight. So excited to tell us all about the place and answer questions along the way. She kept our glasses full all the while tending bar and other tables. The vodka chicken sandwich was well done, tasty and crisp dredged in a thick vodka sauce and adorned with cheese. It did come with tomato but it was a little odd like it just didn't belong. I just added it to my generous side salad (an option instead of fries). This salad was packed full of fresh greens, cukes & tomatoes with a most delightful dressing. His French dip was full of flavor with tender med rare beef delicately sliced thin and high. The au jus that accompanied it was a nice compliment to the sandwich. We sat in a comfy booth with a view of the bar TVs and close enough to enjoy the live musician. A perfect place to grab a quick lunch and we will definitely be back!

Along with an interesting clientele who seem to all know each other, it possesses a beautiful classic wood shuffleboard along one wall, similarly well appointed bar runners whose friendly manner and fun loving personalities make them entertainers as much as mixologists, as they dance to the jukebox 'zak. Although the kitchen was slammed when I ordered a cheeseburger off their limited menu and I had a bit of a wait until it reached me, it was well worth the delay. Served by the cook himself taking a walk from the grill to clear his head, it was the best half pounder I've had for quite a while. It was a perfect medium finish as requested. With lettuce, fat tomato slice and thin fresh red onion ringlets, the juicy flavor/texture was a masticating joy. Quality brioche roll, too. Crisp fries showed the small details were not taken for granted. But for the fact that smoking is allowed, Murphy's was five star all the way. Have to add the expense of laundering the smell out of my clothes to the otherwise top drawer experience. Maybe, "Beef & Ale" really means it!

A second bar area was added on. We walked through to another large dining area addition where we sat at one of many large tables. I ordered the ham and cabbage special and a side of fried pickles, and went back to the original bar for an Irish beverage. Everything was tasty. Thankfully, nobody pinched me for not wearing green.
