25 Best Bars near Cos Cob

“This place has become one of our local favorites since it opened. The menu has all kinds of interesting items and there's always something delicious for everyone in my family or friend group! The outdoor seating area is very nice as well. The only negative (if you can call it that), is they don't take reservation on the same day so plan ahead!“

“We just hosted a big event at the Townhouse and it was amazing! Dana is a joy to work with, her team was professional, and the food delicious. My vendors loved working with them also!!“

“The ambience here is amazing, in a full perfectly manicured atrium. The furniture is soft and comfortable, and the food and beverages are delightful. The waiter spent a long time playing shuffleboard with my daughter. Really above and beyond. Ruben took great care of us at breakfast as well.“

“I’ve known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell’s Kitchen, and walking into their new spot felt like no time had passed at all—in the best way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can’t fake—the genuine warmth. They’ve created that rare “locals welcome” atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations—not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place.

This spot is an absolute gem. If you’re anywhere nearby—whether you’re heading to a show or just looking for a great night out—do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll understand immediately why people keep coming back.

And honestly? The only downside is that they’re no longer in Hell’s Kitchen… because I’d be there all the time.“

“great intimate venue. wonderful array of music“

“First time in town. First place we went after checking into hotel. Great bar. Great bartender (Maggie?)!

Had a few beers. Watched some baseball. Good time!

Proper Guiness pours. Other good beers on draft. Decent liquor choices.“

“Hop has probably the best Philly cheesesteak I’ve had in the 50 miles around, not to mention their wings slap.

To the one star below me, you’re a 🤡 for the review. You pulled up to Hop, on of the most hyped nights in sports history, to write a review about how much of a nerd you are. Stay home next time. KNICKS IN FIVE!!!!!!“

“Stopped by this bar randomly last night before they closed and I'm glad I did. The owner, bartenders, and people at the bar are awesome and are welcoming with love. They have shuffleboard and great drinks. my experience was great. Give them a try❤️“

Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“Casey’s Tavern is a fantastic local favorite that absolutely deserves a five-star review! From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that feels both classic and inviting.

The food is excellent—simple, well-made, and full of flavor. From hearty comfort dishes to perfectly cooked bar favorites, everything is prepared with care and consistency. It’s the kind of place where every meal feels satisfying and dependable.

The drink selection is great as well, with cold beers and solid cocktails that pair perfectly with the laid-back tavern vibe.

What really makes Casey’s Tavern stand out is the service. The staff is genuinely friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit.

If you’re looking for a comfortable neighborhood spot with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Casey’s Tavern is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“Great service and even better memory. Highly recommended.“

“grew up there as a child above the bar I remember Jim and Ernie it will always be my hometown bar I used to break the boxes down for Ernie to pick up the trash early in the morning I think I was eight back then maybe nine for the history I could tell you“

“This place is a blast! Great food, great beers and drinks, awesome bands! It’s the place to be!“

“Surprisingly family-friendly for a bar! It’s our go to weekend hangout. There’s a whole separate area away from the main bar where you can let the kids loose (not literally… unless you’re into that). Tons of games: darts, table games, and enough fun to keep everyone entertained while you sip on a perfectly poured Guinness. The food? Ridiculously good. Wings and burgers hit the spot, and my husband swears by the Reuben-it’s basically his soulmate. Just don’t expect fine china here. Everything comes on paper plates, because the food’s too good to waste time on dishes. Bonus: the owners are the kind of people you’d want to have a beer with-friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly doing it right. Highly recommend if you want a place where the whole family can eat, play, and pretend it’s not a bar. 🍔🍺🎯“

“Stopped in around 8pm on a Saturday night and sat at a high top table near the bar. A little loud w music and a busy atmosphere. Service was quick. Chips and salsa were good. Ordered burritos and they were very good. There was an upstairs as well but I didn't go up there. Seemed like a busy night as ppl kept coming down from upstairs. Quick service good food. Parking was a little tough. Small lot and crowded.“

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.“

“You're not going to experience what you experience here. Multiple hot girls. Elegant in their own ways, The atmosphere is 10 out of 10. As not one girl pressures you into buying her a drink or hovering over you they are respectful and classy. & the girls are kind and the best girls you will find anywhere in the area. There's all types of ethnicities drink are at fair price so is admission well worth it, spend your money on these girls.Trust me! you won't regret!“
