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.“

“Amazing local restaurant, eat here at least once a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times. My go to is the harvest Salad with the house balsamic vinaigrette (wow, it’s awesome), the Chicken Club is also really good. Great place to go and grab a beer as they have a great selection, and watch a game. Staff and ownership are amazing.“

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

“Fabulous bacon and mushroom pizza“

“Great food, great music..“

“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?“

“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!“

“As soon as you arrive you are greeted with a glass of prosecco then you take in the exquisite architecture. The staff then escort you to your table and you're given a menu which is simple but you know right then and there the food is going to be outstanding and it was the service was excellent each dish that they brought out was delicious. The sauces had such great flavor. I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a culinary experience.“

“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.“

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

“Great barcade, and I've been to a lot of them. This is the same co that has a– ostensibly the original– Barcade in Manhattan.

Great spot, cool shirts, good food, good games, good taps. I drank a beer that had a satellite on it and a great green tea shot, and their actual cocktails. Good service also

Games I remember: racers, shooters, digdug, Galaga, Ms Pac-Man, Asteroid, Joust, Tron, Classic Tetris, like 10 pinballs, burger time, fighting games like primal rage, frogger“

“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!“

“Toad’s Place had an event where Shaggy was performing and for some reason I decided to put on a tight dress, 6 inch heels, & not eat all day to attend this event. Safe to say, half way through the show, I was not feeling well at all. The sweetest souls in the form of Gen Manager, Ed, & security, John, came to my rescue. They safely led me outside, brought me a chair and water while also staying with me to make sure I was feeling better. Then they even found me a space to sit inside so I could continue enjoying the event, safely. I’m not sure what could’ve happened to me tonight if it wasn't for the care, action, and support of these men at Toad’s Place. Shaggy also killed it. 😉! I 10/10 would recommend visiting Toad’s Place for their wonderful events & kind staff.“

“Cuppy's is a great neighborhood bar and their staff are very friendly.“

“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.“

“This is an outdoor event sat sept 19th DJ SAMMY SOSA’s 40th BDAY BASH ... you do not wanna miss this !!!“

“The spicy Thai peanut wings are worth the trip alone, but there's so much more to love about this place! Now if I could only marry my love of karaoke with the food, drink, and atmosphere here. I highly recommend a stop here. The food is amazing, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is just what the doctor ordered. ❤️“

“Photographing a wedding at The Lodge at the Hops was such a positive experience. The venue itself feels warm, relaxed, and inviting and really the kind of space where couples can truly settle into the day rather than feel rushed from one moment to the next.

What stood out most to us was the venue staff. They were always genuinely wonderful with the couple and consistently attentive, kind, and thoughtful to them throughout the day. They made sure the couple had plenty of refreshments, checked in often, and handled needs quietly and swiftly behind the scenes so everything felt calm and supported. That kind of care makes a huge difference in how relaxed the couple get to feel, and it shows in the moments we’re able to capture.

This was also a day where the vendor team worked beautifully together. Catering from Big Green Truck Pizza and Graze With Mi added to the laid-back, joyful feel of the entire celebration. Florals by Kochetova Flowers really complemented the space thoughtfully, and the overall aesthetic came together very naturally. DJ Exlr8 Music truly brought to the reception lots of energy and kept the atmosphere fun without overwhelming the experience.

In our opinion The Lodge at the Hops is a great option for couples who want a setting that feels genuine, comfortable, and well-supported, add to that a team that truly cares about the experience, not just the timeline and you have a recipe for a memorable experience.“
