“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.“

“Love the hotel gallery and rooftop environment!“

“Bar 19 is the best bar in new haven super upscale and classy, Aidan and Olson are the best!!! I broke up with my partner and they went heave and earth to cheer me up. This kinda of sympathy is hard to find nowadays. Please try bar 19 if you can, I can’t say anything except how good they are, plus they have great views on the city of New Haven 😍!“

“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. ❤️“

“3 of us came to watch my granddaughter play in a basketball tournament at SCSU. We had Googled 'dive bars' on the way. We were not disappointed. The neighborhood atmosphere was evident. From the 3 friendly patrons who greeted us to the genial bartender. A 'Cheers' atmosphere. The 'melt in your mouth' burgers were the best ever. And we were pleasantly amazed with the bill! A definite place to return.“

“Esta fue mi primera experiencia mas cercana a lo que se le podria llamar una discoteca y la pase super bien,creo que pude haberla pasado mucho mejor si fuera una persona que toma alcohol so me la pase hasta la 1am entre mojitos y margaritas,ambiente es sano solo que el DJ se concentro más en música mexicana y se olvido de otros géneros.“

“Whoever is throwing the shows on Sunday nights at Stella Blues are the bees knees!!!“
