    “*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.”

    “We are up from Texas for the summer and I told my wife I wanted to try restaurants that we have not tried before. My SIL and her husband came by and they let me pick the restaurant and so I chose knowing nothing about this restaurant. The food was amongst the best that I have ever had and the others agreed. The Hanger Chicken was my choice and I can not speak to highly of it. The spiciness was very good but the sauce was fantastic. Raven was our server and she was fantastic and joked along with us. Love you Raven.”

On occasion they have bands on the weekends but not quite as often as they used to. I've been going in there on and off well before this place was called Maloney's and I can say I have never seen a fight in there.”

    “My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant after being very disappointed with an experience ordering margaritas at a nearby restaurant. The first thing we noticed was the lively and fun atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had a couple of perfectly made cocktails. We liked the music and when looking around we saw everyone enjoying themselves. Then we saw the staff getting pulled together and getting instruments and drums, not knowing what was coming next, and then witness the most amazing happy birthday celebration at the table behind us. We’ve been lucky to see this each time we’ve visited. The food plating is very impressive, and so far, the best meal I’ve hade there is the seafood paella which can feed 3-4 people. This is a fun spot whether I’m you are celebrating a big event or even just stopping in for a drink.”
