“super laid back, chill, and romantic date night cocktail bar. their drinks and tapas are amazing!“

“I just read a story about these people went to eat and witness something was so totally wrong . A trooper came into this restaurant and was refused service. All these was based on the owners feelings about the law enforcement. These men and women put thier life’s on the line to protect everyone including you Mr. Owner. This puts a bad taste in my mouth about the owner , not the restaurant. This owner has good people working for him and they do make good food. However I will never go to this restaurant ever again. All this happened two hours after the Bristol’s policeman was killed on duty.“

“I made a reservation here on a Saturday for a date night with my wife and we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool. The service and food were all very good. (We had Cuban Sliders, Calamari and loaded plantain nachos). It was nice to have a unique restaurant experience for a change. It’s the type of place that everyone in the area should do at least once.“

“They have the best sour cream and onion chips“

“Overall, I had a good experience at The Common House Kitchen & Bar. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. Most of the food was very good, although a few menu items advertised fries, onion rings, or berries as included, but they weren't. The chicken pasta was a bit disappointing and lacked flavor, but everything else we ordered was well prepared and enjoyable. I'd still come back and try more items from the menu.“

We had the very reasonable priced buffett..the food was good, the chef was on hand and very friendly. Drinks very reasonably priced. This was our 3rd family celebration there and an plan to use them for more.“

“Eclectic menu. While not extensive, there is variety with daily specials. We started with the dumplings and chili with beans. Dumplings and sauce for dipping quite flavorful in the best way. The chili was not too hot, and a hot sauce offered we we wanted more heat. The pasta and red was plentiful and delicious.“

“I had a great experience at The Bar & Grill in Newington. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt casual, comfortable, and welcoming. It had the kind of neighborhood spot feeling where you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered. I also liked that it felt like a fun place to meet up with friends, grab a meal, watch a game, or just enjoy a laid-back night out. The overall experience was easy, enjoyable, and exactly what I was hoping for.

I would definitely come back to The Bar & Grill and would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly local place with good food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere.“

“Absolutely loved the seafood—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was exceptional, and every staff member was so warm and welcoming. Thank you to the entire team for hospitality; it truly made our visit memorable. Highly recommended!“

“I’m not sure why the recent reviews I’m reading through now are on the negative side! My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant (we happened to be in the area), and immediately were met with excellent hospitality. I am gluten free and vegetarian, so finding a place with kind servers and food I can eat is becoming increasingly difficult. They serve complimentary bread up front (which most restaurants don’t even bother with anymore) and have an option for gluten free bread(if you ask for it) at a slight up-charge. I ordered the Korean rice bowl and my husband ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese..the food came out super fast and was delicious. I have a very low spice tolerance, so I thought my bowl was on the slightly spicier side..but it’s Korean style food so that’s to be expected. We ordered a peanut butter bar for dessert, also gluten free. I didn’t get a picture unfortunately, but it’s was super rich but not too sweet. Definitely worth the trip!! People need to start writing more positive reviews for places because this restaurant definitely deserves more positivity.“

“Umm... Amazing! I don't know anyone can rate other than 5 stars!!! The food was out if this world. Fresh and delicious seafood. Everything we had was top notch.“

“I rarely visit bars but I do like trying new places before passing judgement. When I walked in to the restaurant, I thought it was more open and contemporary than I expected, which was good. We were there for a Linner on a Monday so it was not busy. It was not very well lit. Which is always a problem for us because my partner is legally blind. There were 4 regulars at the bar who turned around stared at us, then cracked a joke which got them laughing at our expense. We decided to eat out on the patio as it was a nice day. The patio was clean. The tables had umbrellas which provided needed shade. We were served right away, with a smile. Our server Bonnie was really nice and brought out drinks and refills as needed. She automatically brought the extra napkins and the utensils at the beginning. The order was as requested mostly, but I'd say my burger was undercooked. I asked for medium but it was very medium rare and in the thickest part rare rare rare. Because I'll eat hamburgers just about anyway, and I will never ever send food back. (There is a story there, a word to the wise, don't send food back in any restaurant, evet) I didn't say a word about it. So you might want to go medium well if you like medium. Apart from that, it was a very pleasant experience.“

“LOVE this place the only place I go to and KNOW ima have fun PLUS drinks are cheap and free to get in 😁“
