16 Best Beer Bars near Branford

“Pearl Wine Bar is a staple favorite to go to in town! They have a cute atmosphere inside and when you want to enjoy the nice weather outside there is a patio! The staff is very accommodating and the drinks are by far the best around! The truffle fries are one of my favorite!!“

“Blue cheese dressing was a big hit with your wings for my gathering. Folks were like “this is some good s__t!”“

“This is such a cute spot! Really great atmosphere, they always have events going on too. I know it’s a coffee shop but they also sell beer! I think the one that they have right now is unfortunately seasonal, but if you get the chance, try the apple pie cider!“

“Authentic Korean food worthy of NYC Korean Town. Had the Mr. Gukbop beef soup, and it was a delicious, rich and spicy beef broth soup. Big and rice on the side to add in as you like. Beef bulgogi was great and appreciated the included noodles and tteok rice cakes. Also loved the tteokbokki and panchan. Will be back!“

“Finally, a coffee shop where the baristas are as excellent as their coffee. Great spot.“

“Stopped in quick on our way through. Great bartender, great service and a really great drink. Small businesses have been hit so hard. If I lived here, I would be here a lot. Support your small businesses, they need it if they are going to make it through this dark time.“

“they have coffee and stuff“

“Overall, I really liked this restaurant and would return. The blueberry toastie was a fantastic flavor combination, highly recommended. The smash burger was on the greasy side for my liking, but appreciated the flavor on the tater tots and sauces.“

“I stopped in on a Wednesday night (during Yale commencement) and it was packed. The bartender, Michael, was alone. On a normal night handling a bar alone is already impressive, but with how packed it was, he was straight up masterful. I was incredibly impressed with how calmly and professionally he handled himself. Even with it being as hectic as it was, he was still very kind, patient and charismatic. Truly extraordinary.“

“Great atmosphere and the Food was excellent“

“Heads up that they charge an automatic 20% gratuity on takeout orders“

“Randomly stumbled upon this place whilst doing a quick stop in New Haven. Bar man was from Ireland and made us feel extremely welcome and recommended good beers for us to try. The arcade games were an added bonus and we had a really great night. Great spot to spend a fun evening , will keep you occupied for a good few hours, highly recommend .“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“Excellent food. Highly recommend“

“At first I was like, “I don’t like seafood boils.” I came here, now I’m hooked, garlic butter spicy, all me. Delish, the best seafood boil compared to others. 😋“
