We didn't eat, as the kitchen is staffed during lunch hours, and I often go in the late afternoon. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is great (train theme, since it's in an old station!) and prices are comparable. A great hometown bar that features Open Mics and Live Music in the evening.

I took the train from NYC to Westbrook and waited here to be picked up at the Highliner as it is really just a train stop with no station, but the Highliner is right next door. The bartender was friendly and made me a very large aperol spritz (it came in a tall glass) and I could tell that everyone else was a local here to watch sports. Not being a local I felt a bit out of place but not in an intimidating or unwelcoming way. A fine spot to wait for a train, but not somewhere I'd probably go unless I was a local. Note: Cash Only but there is an ATM on site

A Saturday afternoon and about 6 people inside. I walked in with my service dog and was instantly told dogs were not allowed by the bartender. My dog was properly identified and wearing a vest and my sister in law informed the bartender that he was a service dog. The bartender looked right at us, rolled his eyes, made a face and shook his head. Absolutely appalling behavior not to mentioned illegal. Our group of five walked right out. Will never return.

Nice and friendly and toasty warm bar. Cash only.

Let’s get real - this is what interstate travel by rail is all about. Paying homage to the late New York New Haven & Hartford RailRoad Co., this cozy and unassuming bar brings the best of the midpoint between New York City and Boston with affordable cocktails, wood burning stove in a well preserved train station. Jell-O shots? They got em. Incredibly clean with a friendly staff to match. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This old Westbrook train station has the best bartenders and friendliest atmosphere. Decor is post & beam, saloon style, with a large pot-belly (?) stove in the middle adding to the warmth. We’ll be back!

So I went here I choked on air because ya know I have asthma and one of the workers there told me "do you mind? Because we don't allow coughing in here." I understand entirely that we are still in a pandemic but I choked, it happens. I certainly did not deserve the rudeness.
