Bars near Cheshire

“Every single bite of every dish was an experience. Absolute magic. I went here for tgiving buffet for my family and I and was blown away at the quality, flavor, and creativity of the food. Chef Joe made traditional (some times boring) tgiving dinner into pure excellence. I am so happy we found this place and will absolutely return! What a hidden gem. Thanks chef Joe for sharing your art with us.“

“Friendly, kind, nice conversations.Ciders were good. To each its own tastes. We bought a 4 pack of the blueberry which was closely related to "passion fruit" cider.Pizza wasn't to my liking. It was very oily. My husband had to try to take it off. And it was doughy. I personally like my pizza crispy. She claimed it was. .. nope. The pig chips and nuts tasted stale. Suppose to be glazed with beer cider. I don't know, in this case maybe I'm the one with the issue. Though ! We did see the ability to order platter of cheese n crackers, but they were out.. Lol.It's okay. It was a Sunday and they seem to be very slow then. So.if you want a quiet place to just sit and enjoy your moment in quiet, then this is good to go. On Sundays.Vegetarian options: Seen that they have a vegan pizza“

“My friend suggested we go to Double Play Café last night after a concert at the Oakdale Theatre. There was a large crowd for a late on a Saturday night, and we sat at a high top table. We were cold from standing outside for a while at the concert and decided to have some hot drinks. I had a coffee. It was delicious. We then ordered some food. I had the avocado, mozzarella, caprice he salad. I enjoyed it very much. It was fresh and had a very nice balsamic glaze on top. I will definitely go back and try some other items on the menu.“

“Awesome place!!! Been there several tines and had a wonderful time. I took my grandson and friend along with my family and the friends mom. We had snacks and the food, drinks and service were outstanding!!! Staff very friendly. The boys played some video games but mostly played virtual golf. Plan to go back again. Also, went to a 40th birthday party!! Great venue for a party. Such a nice place for an afternoon or night out!!!“

“My friend and I went on a quiet sunday afternoon. We walk in and are greeted immediately. The waiter who also seems to be the cook and owner was so very nice. I was surprised to see the amount of vegan options at such a tiny place. The owner answered all of my questions without grunting or groaning. I had a vegan chicken deli club with vegan bacon. It was sooooo good!! I recommend this place!!“

“Food is good, waitress was very friendly, however, it is extremely noisy from the bar crowd. They should have a barrier of some kind . If noise doesn't bother you, go & enjoy, BUT, if your looking to have a nice relaxing meal, with moderate chatter, than visit.“

“I took my wife here for a second birthday dinner last summer. We had received a gift certificate from a friend. Best clams casino I ever had. The lasagna was awesome and the portion was more than Icould eat. My wife said her meal was excellent. Our waitress was very personable, accommodating and made the dining experience here very enjoyable. The only reason we haven't been back is just that you get busy and time has a habit of slipping away.“

“One of my favorite places to play music, hear music and beg Sarah for a bloody Mary. This is a great dive bar and they are really respectful to musicians. I mean, they held on to our gear long after we were supposed to pick it up and the staff stressed over its safety even more than I did. They show a lot of love to the local music scenes, having live shows every weekend. You will also not hear cover songs there, ever. And that's amazing. Every single song played is original. The bands are a mix of touring and local bands and the sound is really raw. I like that these are not "polished" mainstream, commercial musicians. Turn on Spotify or drop your entire wallet at the Oakdale if you want to hear that. I can go there alone and still feel completely safe, and I'm a petite woman with zero ninja skills, so that's a huge relief for me. The staff is really cool and they make some really tasty drinks. Don't expect posh seating or new anything; it's a dive bar! But one really nice feature of this particular bar is IT'S CLEAN. I know Sarah works incredibly hard to keep the place spotless and germ-free. The bathrooms are even clean! Dennis, Holly and Sarah are awesome and they run a really fun place.“

“I've been here twice and both times I've had a great experience. The drinks, service, and food all great. I've only had food on Grand Street but I've been told that the other location buffet is also great. The menu has many options a bit on the pricy side but there were some reasonable options for lunch. The food came out quick. It took a min for the drinks especially for around 1pm with not too many customers. Great place to sit and conversation with friends and coworkers. Would recommend.“

“Met some friends here for the first time this past Sunday and we had a great experience. The place was jamming! We almost couldn’t find a seat. During the warmer months they have seating outside too but It’s a bit early in the season, so we were told. The atmosphere was lively and busy.The staff were attentive and the drinks were delicious. We ordered the flight of course and then had a few more. My personal favorite was the Cookie Monster! Liquid crack for lack of a better term is the best way to describe it. If you don’t like sweet than you definitely want to stick to a traditional espresso martini. The presentation was great and our entire group was happy. We will be returning. Thank you Yellow Kings Brews!“

“prices on the menu are not the same as what I was charged; when I politely brought this up with my server I was met with hostility and I heard her and who I assumed to be the manager speaking very loudly and poorly about me; the whole situation made me entirely uncomfortable despite being upcharged 8 dollars that I paid my bill and promptly left after being treated poorly about the discrepancy. The food and atmosphere great, but poor service absolutely-- and I work at a restaurant as a server...“

“Awesome place to make your own plate and watch it be cooked right before your eyes. The food settles in your stomach alittle hard but while you eat its enjoyable. The alcohol beverages are good. Dont go when they first open. The flat top they cook on isnt hot enough and the food comes out halfway cooked, the veggies are still hard. White rice ypu ask the server for its free :) Overall a great place to eat.“

“We just did take out and it was great! My husband had the salmon, I had the short ribs and we got an order of the hush puppies. Everything was hot and tasted great at home. We also had an order of the cheesecake egg rolls which were a great sweet treat. Definitely will be back!“

“Went there with a group. It was busy in bar with limited seating so plan ahead. Everyone had a good time and was happy with their food. My doob wings were fantastic as well as the burger. Maddy our server was witty and dealt with our nonsense like a true pro. Definitely coming back.“

“As I've said many times. I love a Hole in the Wall spot. Bailey's Cafe might take the Cake.If you are near or far definitely stop in for lunch! I indulged in a savory Chipotle Bacon ? Ranch Burger made to order, fresh thick sliced vegetables with steak fries. The Bourbon Wings made me Regret only ordering 6 should've taken 12 more home ???. Sweet potato fries for the win crispy to the order, fresh coleslaw..... The Bill came to $37 something I tipped $15. Compliments to the Chef. If you are reading this go get the Bourbon wings ??????Picture below disregard my hand I was getting ready to devour that burger ?Parking: Parking all over. The Bar holds 87 at maximum capacity.“

“an unpretentious hole in the wall of the best kind: cheap drinks & rich company; at least on Tuesdays when Denise is hosting the open mic... a wide variety of talent, including a magician & a gent playing Body & Soul on toy trumpet ? the last I played there...“

“One of the best bars in Southington. The wings are locally famous and award-winning, and for good reason! Service is good, the menu has plenty of options, and there's always some form of music, either live bands or karaoke. And if the place is full, order your meal to-go and take it to the brewery across the street.“

“I was passing through and stopped to try some of the food. The place was packed with orders. Although there wasn’t a ton of guests eating there I saw them working hard with many to-go orders. Our food took probably 20 min which wasn’t bad. It was very tasty and I loved the Salsa Bar!!! What a great idea and allowed the opportunity to try so many flavors! My only comment would be to lighten up on the cilantro. There was an extreme amount of cilantro on my tacos. One taco has enough cilantro for like 5 tacos worth. I would definitely go back and try more items. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Oh, and the Jamaica juice was ?? perfection“

“Nice little towny bar. Cash only but they do have an ATM in case you find yourself without cash. They have a couple pool tables in a separate room than the bar which is always nice and roomy. Service is perfect. Bartender is very observant and knows exactly when you need another drink. Drinks are made perfectly too“

“This is a little pub that has been around since 2023. This is my first time going here since they've opened. I have to say I hope they stay around for a while. We got the sweet potato fries, the buffalo Parmesan wings, and wings with the water street sauce. I would highly recommend both! The wings were fried to perfection and the amount of sauce was perfect! Not dry at all. This is my new go to spot for wings!“

“I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad!!!! The chicken was fresh and moist!!! The greens were fresh ; and it had just right amount of salad dressing . The drinks were not only affordable but well worth it !!!Vegetarian options: They have meatless options“

“Great food experience! Haven't been here in years. I wasn't sure if COVID had changed things. Just the prices. My brother and I had burgers and beer. He ate dessert too. Burgers cooked as request. Pleasant and low key server. Perfect Saturday night supper. Not cheap eats anymore but moderately priced night out for two.“

“I actually haven't been there but my friend had her purse stolen and her license somehow ended up there. A gentleman, Dave, was sweet enough to mail it to her. Speaks volumes of the wonderful people at this establishment! Heather says thank you so much!“

“Great experience! Food Service Atmosphere Allergy accommodations Delicious & Fun Waitress bent over backward to accommodate us, even when my Son had stepped away & his food came out, they asked if they could put his plate under the warmer! They are diligent & accommodating regarding food allergies & offer all kinds of gluten free, nut free & seafood free entrees (free from cross contamination is usually our big concern) Even their delicious bakery is strict regarding allergens. My son is pumped that he can have numerous selections without fear of cross contamination.“
