When It's 11pm on a Friday Night in Bucks County, You May Find Yourself Asking, "Where Are the Best Nightlife Spots?"

Bucks County is a great family-friendly destination. However, if you are 21 and up and want to experience the nightlife, you might think there is no where to go since the suburbs aren't known for their nightlife. Well, that is not true.  Plenty of nightlife spots are waiting for you to come and enjoy a night out with your friends.

If you want to walk to the bar, Jax Bar is located in the center of the casino, and it offers a variety of drinks as well as sports coverage on their flat screen televisions.

Now to the most important aspect of Parx, which is the food of course. Gambling can really increase your appetite, so stop by one of the many restaurants conveniently located inside the casino.

My favorite restaurant to go to inside Parx is Chickie's and Pete's. Who doesn't love their highly addictive crab fries? Chickie's and Pete's is a sports bar/restaurant well known for their famous crab fries. They even have an interactive sports bar inside their restaurant.

Plenty of other dining options are located in the casino that will satisfy any craving you may have. Take a look at the full list of dining options here.

Now that you did some gambling and filled your stomach with delicious crab fries, it's time to explore Parx's nightclub called 360.  360 offers a great atmosphere to socialize and dance the night away.

Maggio's Restaurant

Maggio's is a restaurant/bar located down the street from Parx Casino. Connected to the restaurant is the Mag Bar. Before enjoying some drinks and live entertainment at the Mag Bar, have dinner in the restaurant.  They have great Italian food, but my favorite meal to order is the Boardwalk Burger.  This burger is topped with American cheese, pork roll and a fried egg with a side of fries.  If you are a burger lover, you must try the Boardwalk Burger because it is something that is special to Maggio's, and you can't find it anywhere else.

Maggio's Rice Pudding Dessert

If you are craving desserts, Maggio's offers a fresh variety of desserts from rice pudding to cheesecakes to authentic Italian desserts.

Once your stomach is full, head over to the Mag Bar for some drinks. Not only do they serve great drinks, but they also provide live entertainment such as karaoke, DJ's, contests and parties.

IMPORTANT: While it is fun to go out and enjoy the nightlife of Bucks County with your friends, be sure to think ahead. If you are drinking, I highly recommend calling the cab company All Threes. The phone number is 215-333-3333, which is pretty easy to remember, and they arrive in a timely manner. It's better to play it safe, so save this number into your phone before you venture out.
