5 Best Nightlife in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

The piano that once graced Odette's, the restaurant, bar, and cabaret that was a New Hope institution until it was flooded out one too many times, now resides at Bowman's Tavern, a quintessential tavern halfway between New Hope and Washington's Crossing. Many of those who loved Odette's have followed, too, making the piano lounge's seven-nights-a-week entertainment quite popular and gay-friendly.

Havana has karaoke on Monday and a variety of live music from jazz to the house cover band Friday through Sunday. National acts leaning heavily toward classic rock are sprinkled in for good measure.

Since 1972, John & Peter's has featured live, original music seven nights a week. Jazz musicians, singer-songwriters, and plenty of rockers all take the stage, as do the not-yet-famous on Monday's open-mike night.

At Puck, bands play in the 120-seat indoor music venue, and eaters and drinkers sit in the bar or out on the patio in season.

Shiny vats are the tip-off to what's on tap at Triumph Brewing Company, a brewpub whose exposed-brick walls, beams, and ductwork give it an industrial feel. Entertainment includes live music Friday, Saturday, and some Wednesday nights; Texas Hold 'Em on Monday and Wednesday; open mike on Sunday; Cornhole on Tuesday; trivia and Paint Nite on Thursday; and a ceremonial barrel tapping the first Friday of the month at 6.
