“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.“

O'Brien's Pub Bar • $
1257 Old Colony Rd, Wallingford - 7.24 miles

“TL;DR: It's a wonderful local dive, that's enough. Rough edges, but friendly, comfortable, inexpensive, and you'll feel more like your at friends basement than at a fancy polished bar. So just relax and make yourself at home.Been a few times with a friend or my wife and I always end up chatting with somebody, patrons or bartenders, every single time. Went for a karaoke night and had a blast even though I'm normally not a fan. It's very well priced, they will have something youll enjoy, and it was the cheapest Guinness in town by a long shot. Although, last I went, they took it off for the spring/summer. (-1star).It's more Irish-ish "themed". So don't expect bangers mash, wall art from the ol' country, or a fine whiskey. But again, it's a simple local for beers it's more American staples, a local brew or two, and (sometimes) Guinness.Alwayse shot specials, some rotating snacks, and for a very casual, relaxed time on your way home from work or a cheap night out for some beer. There is not a lot better you can get in Wallingford for something like this.“

“1/18/24 Thursday was my first time eating at the 99 in wallingford and have to say my experience was great, for whatever reason I bypassed this restaurant 100s of times and I finally gave them a try and service was amazing, I believe if I'm going by my receipt the waitress name was unique p. Her service was great from the greeting and lite conversation and how attentive she was, her service seem genuine and sincere, she made us truly feel like it was a pleasure to have our service. Now the food caught me by surprise, lately I've been to a number of restaurants and food has not lived up to the price or expectation and before coming here there was only three restaurants that I would highly recommend but now after having this flavorful delicious meal and a wonderful experience this is another highly recommended restaurant added to my list . Thank you to the chef for taking pride in the preparation of my meal you gave my wife and I a reason to return. Also thank you to the manager and owner for a clean , comfortable, professional , welcoming environment.“

“Came across this little gem on a random strike for a drink and decent food after work as I am new to Cromwell. The atmosphere was phenomenal for 5:30 p.m. I really love the seating and the stained glass makes a nice touch and keeps it true to being a "tavern" as opposed to just a restaurant. This place is not family friendly and isn't intended to be. For golf fans there is a nice range connected to the property with its own bar newly added to the back of the restaurant to purely serve the patrons on the range. Sweet touch! I don't want to say too many bad things about this place because it really was a wonderful quick visit and the energy in the room was an easy adjustment. I came around dinner time on a Wednesday and at about 6:30 they started to pull down a projector screen for trivia night. I didn't stay long enough for that but might have enjoyed it if I knew the genre and something peaked my interest. So now to the negative... As the food was in fact delicious the timing was to be noted. I ordered all of my food to go had a few drinks while I was waiting... First I received my sandwich and chips 20 minutes later The party I came with received part of their to go order, and the rest of my order took another 25 minutes. I think somehow there was a mishap in the kitchen. I ordered my food with my very first drink and it took over an hour ? I ordered the goat cheese honey pizza with added prosciutto and the Florida man sandwich. The chips with the sandwich weren't to my liking but the pizza and the sandwich itself were delicious! All in all this place gets a 4.5. Allan is a nice touch too ??“
