“Hosted our Holiday Party here, amazing atmosphere, food & music!! Holly & Carmine are the best! Check them out ♥️“

“This place has been around since I was a kid. It has a lot of history . Every one in EH knows this place. The walls are covered in sports memorabilia. It's amazing to see it all. The bartenders are friendly. I definitely recommend this place. Remember lots of parking in rear of building.“

“Everyone needs to try the Skillet Burrito ASAP! It’s new on the menu, all I needed to see in the description was SMOTHERED IN QUESO lol it was the most delicious burrito I have ever eaten. I will be ordering it every time I go there now. I hope enough people review it so they keep it on the menu! You should try it, you will not be disappointed!“

“From the Steak dinner to the Osso Buco, the grinders, the soup, all DELICIOUS! and might I add worth every cent they cost. Very friendly atmosphere. Bartenders are attentive and just great!“

“La comida estaba muy buena, buen servicio, lugar limpio y bonito, lo único que no me gustó fue que la música era tan alta que no podía ni escuchar a la mesera ni ella a nosotros. Tenían dos tipos de música diferentes en un mismo lugar y a todo volumen. Pero se entiende porque es un lounge. Por la única razón que no volvería más sería por eso porque no da tranquilidad para comer en familia es como una discoteca con mesas, algo así se siente, pero esa es mi opinión y hay personas que les gusta. Lo recomiendo para que vayan y adquieran su propia experiencia.“

“One of my all time favorite spots . Hands down beats all the local competition for seafood . Drinks are amazing ??

It’s def an experience , so if ur ever in the area I suggest u stop by u won’t be disappointed .“

“Best watering hole in the insurance capital of the world“

“No complaints, everytime im here, im greeted with warm welcomes and a friendly vibe. Bartenders try their best to get to you when its busy and the bouncers are very reasonable and make sure you're taken care of when things go wrong with other patrons. Come a bit earlier if you dont want to wait in line on the weekends. The owner is present and makes sure everyone is having a good time and to kick out any of the problematic people (it can happen). No comment on the food but the pizza is from another establishment in west hartford so its probably pretty good. 5/5, would recommend it to all my friends. Defintely one of the best bars in the hartford area.“

“Very sad that they are closing soon 😔 Good luck Tony and Debbie in your retirement.“

“I was there last night with my family I came from Florida a few days ago and went to ct to see my brother that goes there all the time with his wife and I may say it was amazing service and all 🙏🏻😊“

“Red Rock Tavern is the hidden gem of Hartford—warm energy, great people, and a vibe that always hits. If you’re stepping out on a Saturday, the 90s Karaoke Sip & Paint is the move. Nostalgia, creativity, and good music in one room… it’s the perfect way to elevate your weekend.“

“I don’t usually do reviews but I had to do one today after my experience here, my server Kylee was absolutely amazing with everything especially with showing me how the games and axe throwing works, the bartenders made some of the absolutely best drinks I’ve ever had plus the food was absolutely phenomenal, I will definitely be back next time with more family and friends“

“I know this was a million years ago (‘80s) the giant LI iced teas? They were served in like a gallon glass with siphons and they served a bunch of people, and they were buy one get one on your birthday! Does anyone remember?“

“What a fantastic venue for hosting an event! We recently held a work event here, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly.

The banquet room is a hidden gem and perfect for anyone looking to host a corporate event, private party, or special gathering. It offers its own private entrance and dedicated restrooms, making the space feel truly exclusive and convenient for guests.“

“Food was excellent. Was lucky to be there on a night where they had japanese imported oysters. Got some excellent a5 along with some top quality sushi. Was a very fun experience to share with my daughter who appreciated the entire meal.“

“Love this place good drinks. great bar food good music. i’m a regular guy“

“First time here. Service was excellent but food was mediocre. Burger was ok. Fries were not fresh. You could tell they were frozen. Pickles were really good.“

“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.“

“This place was awesome. Food was great. Music was great. Good vibes.“

“Food, service, drinks... what's not to love? Everything was fantastic from start to finish. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the staff went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Easily a 5-star experience, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“It's a decent restaurant if you are staying in the hotel. I probably wouldn't come here otherwise. The food seems fresh and well prepared. The menu is very small. My only issue was they clearly don't wash their romaine lettuce, this should be a crime after all the issues with recalls. Not to mention, who wants to eat grit?!“
