The bar at the Yardley Inn

Having grown up in Yardley, I have known the Yardley Inn for a number of years.  Over that period of time, I've seen it take on different moods and flavors.  I am really enjoying the most recent incarnation of the place.  With a sizeable bar, great views of the Delaware River and an affordable menu, what's not to love?

Last week I had the pleasure of going to happy hour.  People have been recommending their happy hour to me for a while, but it was one of those things that always slipped my mind.  Let me first say that I am not the only person who know about their happy hour deals- the bar was packed when I arrived at 6PM-  I was lucky that my friends had saved me a seat.  In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that the crowd is skewed to the “sophisticated” end (read: a bit older than myself) but, there was a healthy mix given the fact that Yardley is a bit older in demographic.

From 5-7 PM, the bar offers great drink deals:  $5 house wine, beer & martinis.  Additionally, there's a great selection of $5 appetizer specials, including oysters, “tiers of taste” and more.  I really enjoyed my espresso martini (he used real espresso instead of just coffee liqueur!). I love that their happy hour lasted until 7-  it's great for those of us who end up working later and can't always make the more traditional 4-6 happy hour specials.  I hope that more bars hop on board the 5-7 PM train!

After happy hour ended we had dinner in the restaurant.  I was actually pretty full from my oysters during happy hour, so I just stuck with a salad.  I will definitely be heading back to Yardley Inn many times this summer!

Shout out to @jaredpolin, the current “mayor” of Yardley Inn on Foursquare. You can't miss him with his giant fro!
