Pappy's Cafe Cafe • $$
37 Burnside Ave, East Hartford

“A neighborhood spot that is often quiet but has its busy nights. Good drinks, good prices, and really good food for a bar. Mixed crowd but of the older persuasion. Wouldn't recommend for a very young crowd. Definitely 30 and older. Avoid Monday nights though. There is one bartender who only cares about tips and never about good service.“

“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.“

“If you go to Mancora and don’t get Julio as your server… you’re doing it WRONG. 💯🔥

We went to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and Julio turned it into a whole EXPERIENCE. The energy? 10/10. The service? ELITE. The vibe? UNMATCHED.

He was on point the entire night—attentive, fast, super friendly, and just knew how to make everything feel special. It didn’t feel like regular service, it felt like VIP treatment from start to finish.

He made sure the birthday celebration hit different 🎉 and honestly, that’s the kind of service you don’t forget.

Mancora is already amazing, but Julio takes it to another level. If you see him, just know you’re about to have a great night.

We’re definitely coming back… and asking for Julio every time 🔥👏“

“Club house on Main in Glastonbury has been a new spot that I have ventured to from time to time and found it always lively with staff that is equally lively, pleasant and attentive. Though there has been one server Nicole W who stood out during my last visit when I brought my kids to watch the Uconn game. I found her very attentive, caring and available before during and through out our time there. While our team Uconn lost we still felt as we won with our experience there under the care of Nicole. In fact we look forward to future visits in hopes we have Nicole W working with us again or someone with the same demeanor and even took the time to take a picture with us to seal the night!! Great experience!!
Thanks Club on Main
