18 Best Bars near Cos Cob

“I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time and finally got the chance—overall, it was a great experience!

• Crispy Calamari & Crispy Sushi Bite – a must-try! The sushi bite was so good I ordered two rounds.

• Sweet Potato Fries – always a a good idea.

• 12-Hour Short Ribs – 4/5; flavorful, but would’ve been perfect if a bit more tender.

• Steak Au Poivre – 4.5/5; cooked well, though the sauce leaned slightly on the bitter side.

• Steak Yakisoba – 4/5; satisfying and well-balanced.

• Black Gold Truffle Fried Rice – 4/5; rich, but had a slight bitter aftertaste.

• Desserts – great variety, and everything we tried was chef’s kiss.

Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience with standout appetizers and desserts. Would definitely come back to try more! ♡“

“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!!“

“I was with some friends for a bit of a reunion. I honestly did not know what to expect from Haven but all I can say is that it is a wonderful, friendly and cozy place. The lite bites were all tasty, but the tap list, the whisky...and whiskey list were outstanding, but the cocktails...oh my! Everyone in our party thought the cocktails were truly outstanding, different, and creative. And priced fairly. I have paid more at several places for cocktails that were nowhere as good as at Haven. The owners are delightful and made us feel at home and next time I find myself in Port Chester, forget anywhere else...I know where I am going. Thanks Haven!“

“great intimate venue. wonderful array of music“

“I discovered this taproom when roaming around Stamford. They have over 40 different taps where you can pour your own beers, wines, and even kombuchas. It’s self service like frozen yogurt and they have different glasses you can choose from depending on your choice. They also have glass cleaners at the taps too. This taproom has darts, shuffleboarding, and karaoke amongst things to do. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“Some of the other reviews on this page make me smile. Opinions about this Mamaroneck institution are as strong and mixed as their cocktails, but as various bars open and close all around it, this place stays true to itself. It's a neighborhood dive bar of the sort that are ubiquitous in my native Wisconsin, but rare gems in the NYC metro. Craft cocktails and small batch IPAs will not be found here, but simple mixed drinks and domestic drafts are always on hand. Darts and a few other bar games are cheap or free, and the beautiful original window storefront opens up wide to let the warm air in on summer nights. I have had some great memories here and it always feels like a sip of home.“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. 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.“

“Found this place browsing for "pool table bar". Found this little gem. Has a nice pool table and other games. It is located on a quiet street in downtown stamford. Medium size and has an open area patio in the back. Overall a nice quiet bar. Ordered food which was way better than what I had expected, actually very good. Will go back for the calamaris and freshly cut homemade french fries.“

“Think of the last time you were in some little beach town or ski village and stumbled on a totally non-contrived bar that only the locals know about. Now imagine that bar was plucked right out of that place and put in the middle of Rye. That's The Pub. It's a hole-in-the-wall dive bar that's perfectly out of place in Rye. The bartender has a heavy hand, the drinks are cheap, and it's the ideal location to catch up with an old friend.“

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

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

“Came here for a visit. The wings were amazing as well as the drinks. The happy hour menu is very nice. Long Island ice tea was not on happy hour that was 22.00 dollars for one. Steep.
I will
Come and visit again in the future. Happy eating“

“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. 🍔🍺🎯“

“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“

“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.“
