The restaurant formerly known as Turk’s Head Inn has come to a close. After years of earning a reputation for a great fine dining experience and exciting nightspot, 15 S. High Street has shut it’s doors and is preparing itself to house a new experience – the coming-soon-to-us
Barnaby’s of West Chester. It’s sad to see such a well-loved West Chester restaurant fade away, and we hope that Barnaby’s knows it has some big shoes to fill.
Barnaby’s of America is a small, Philadelphia area chain sports bar/restaurant combination, with locations in Havertown, Ridley, and Aston. The menu caters to a happy-go-lucky clientele and features their take on a fairly generic menu. Examples? Popular appetizers of nachos, mozzarella sticks, quesadillas, and chicken tenders, along with a variety of salads and soups. Some promising entrees include the Rib and Crab Cake Combo and the Chesapeake Chicken Breast (topped with creamy crab imperial, bacon and Jack cheddar! Yum!)
Like many sports-themed restaurants, one of Barnaby’s features is their bar! They’re hoping to join the likes of Kildare’s and Iron Hill when it comes to the bar scene, and they might accomplish just that. They have an interesting drink menu for their Ridley location – such as their Banana Bomb, Bikini, and Oreo Cookie martinis. Drink specials range from $1 Miller Lite bottles to $2.50 Sierra Nevada pints, and their happy hour is from 4:30-6:30pm, with reduced drink prices and 1/2 price apps in the bar area! Kareoke, DJs, senior discounts, and dances parties are promised – and we’ve even heard rumors of a Motown/Soul night at one of their other locations! We’ll miss you, Turk’s Head. . . we hope that Barnaby’s steps up!
Word on the street is that there were 700 applicants for their 50 job openings, so it looks like they’re prepared to make a splash in West Chester. The grand opening is planned for mid-March. . . perhaps a WCDish field trip is in order?
