50 Best Bars near Beacon Falls

“Hats off to this great place. You can casually hangout for some great wings or bring the whole family for a great dinner. Their menu is very well rounded and has something for everyone. The chef uses the freshest ingredients. And you can always count on some great daily specials. This is a must in the valley since there is nothing else like it. Five stars ⭐️ in my book.“

“Awesome bar. Always have a great time. Tara is wonderful and the staff is fantastic. Great food, great beer and terrific atmosphere.“

“Great food, great music..“

“Fabulous bacon and mushroom pizza“

“I was recently there for dinner with my wife . Food was good , service was excellent and the entire staff could not have been more accommodating and we interacted with a number of them . Nice decor and spoke about coming back in summer months as the venue would be great . Unfortunately we will never go back . When I got the bill I saw that they charged me 75 cents for mustard that I requested for my deluxe burger , I was infuriated . The catsup was free but was blown away by a charge for mustard. Did not complain or even mention it . It was minor on a $60 bill plus a 25% tip . But the fact that someone would nickel and dime you like that said I will take my business elsewhere . Can you imagine doing that?“

“Amazing! Every dish was exceptional. What a gem to find.“

“Good bar grub - their pizza is sourced from some of the best in New Haven - but the Chai Martini is next level. I'm a tea guy but I like espresso martinis, and this just has chai instead which is top notch delicious. A nice drink in a Shelton dive, but the bartenders and regulars are also some of the nicest people. Come by!“

“Always good bands playing on the weekends, really nice bartenders and everyone that goes.“

“From start to finish an incredible and unique experience. The Chef greeted us at the door, complimentary champagne while waiting, beautiful scents everywhere, open kitchen platform to witness the culinary skill. Eli took great care of us, service was warm and timely. The restaurant was busy and bustling but we didn't wait long for anything- food was course by Chef and came out in a timely and well thought out manner. The tuna appetizer was one of the best thing's I've ever eaten. Complimentary palette cleanser was a beautiful touch. So many details that you don't get dining out often in New Haven. This is a great spot to celebrate something special.“

“What an outstanding pub people are great food is fantastic. I gave it five star.“

“We door dashed our steak dinners 2 times they where cooked to perfection so tender still hot packaged in foil pans EVERYTHING was soo good the loaded baked potato Highly Recommend 😎😎😎“

“From the moment I stepped inside Bailey’s, I knew I was in for a treat. The delicious aroma wafting through the air immediately caught my attention. I couldn't wait to dive into their menu and try all the mouthwatering dishes they had to offer. And let me tell you, the food did not disappoint. Every bite was a burst of flavor, leaving me craving more. Plus, the portion sizes were extremely generous, guaranteeing that no one would leave Bailey’s hungry. But it wasn't just the food that stood out. The phenomenal staff at Bailey’s went above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable dining experience. Their warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel like a valued guest. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions I had.“

“Went there yesterday for the first time. Wonderful atmosphere and the food was delicious! Great job“

“I've been to a lot of bars in my life and this is my absolute favorite place to go. Everyone that works there is an absolute riot and I would go there just to hang out with them if for whatever reason they ran out of alcohol. I highly recommend Carmine's :-)“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

“The staff was great. I didn’t wait long at all for a drink . The music was awesome . Just all together a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.“

“Toad's is great. I've been going to see bands there since the 1980s.
This place is part of rock history.
I've seen a lot of successful bands before they broke big and a bunch after they broke big at Toad's.“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“What fun!
As a Gen X Mom I enjoyed the nostalgic games and music (and beverages) at Barcade. My kiddos loved the big variety of games and kid friendly food options. Most games are one token. One token is 25¢. Took me a minute to find my cents key on this phone keyboard. I don't think I've ever used it.
I haven't been to an arcade in 3 decades. Used to ride my bike across town with friends in the early nineties with $10, get lunch at McDonald's, play games for hours at the mall arcade, and go home when the street lights came on. Not a responsible adult involved, interrupting, or bothered by us all day.
It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?“

“Quaint Waterbury tavern with the best owner in town. All the bartenders are pleasant, professional, and accommodating. The history if Wzterbury is embedded in the walls of this iconic bar. Must visit place if you are passing through Waterbury.“

“Me and my mom went there to stop by after coming into town, we had the kindest bartender Stefan who was very personable, they also had comfortable seats with fun and wide board game collection that can keep you playing for hours. Loved the atmosphere and the complimentary popcorn was very nice! HIGHLY recommend for kids and adults.“

Music is a Awesome of contemporary and old school classics. Usually a live D.J on Fridays as well as low key really good food when offered. You can expect this place to get crowded fast.“

“Bolands is sort of like the Mos Eisley cantina from star wars, and I mean that in the most endearing way. If you like getting drunk and playing pool with some of the craziest, kookiest, and disagreeable characters you'll ever meet, this is your place. Everyone should try it at least once.“

I highly recommend a stop here. The food is amazing, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is just what the doctor ordered. ❤️“

Tvs Sports pool tables outdoor patio is all a home run!“
