8 Best Pubs near East Lyme

“Music a little loud, but they were super nice and turned speaker down a tad. BEST fish and chips. Hands down. Did not expect this. Excellent tartar sauce if you can believe it. coleslaw also very good. We will dine here again. This exceeded dining expectation. Ambiance to be expected. Service was adequate and not pushy. O ly tried entree and soup. Will try more next time.“

“Had lunch here after kayaking and I could not love the ambiance more. There's an attached greenhouse that is such a cozy vibe I cannot wait to go back. Cute outdoor area w fire pit as well and I hear they have great karaoke. We got malt fries and they were a perfect start! Salty and malty and still crispy! I got raspberry jalapeño burger. Came with bacon, grilled jalapeños and strawberry jam. Burger was cooked perfectly on a toasty roll. Bacon was crispy and salty and put against spicy jalapeños and sweet raspberry jam there was nowhere to go but flavor town after one bite. We tried the malt salt wings and they were crispy and full of flavor too. Bartender was on his own and took a triple seating when we arrived and he handled it perfectly! Food was quick and hot and we didn't want for anything. A great find and we will def be back to try more of their huge burger menu“

“Found this place by accident while waiting for a train, and what a jewel of a find it is. We got there right after it opened and it was quiet, but quickly a few regulars showed up and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The bartender was nice, funny, and made us feel as welcome as the regulars at the bar too. The decor and just overall vibe was stellar. I can only imagine how great it would be during peak hours with more people and live music. It is on the smaller side, so I can imagine it gets crowded, but that's half the charm of a hole-in-the-wall spot like this“

“The Dutch is a awesome hole in the wall. You would never know this place was here. The place is no bigger than my living room. Great crowd of people and nothing is over 5 bucks on the menu, you can not beat that. If you are in the area you definitely want to give this place a shot.“

“Just tried V's Brick Oven pizza for the first time. WoW! Easy to get to, they make some really good pizzas!!! Not really too busy, so wait was like 20-25 minutes. The Holiday Hawaiian was excellent!!! The pizzas ordered were correct and hot. Nice to have something like V's in the Chesterfield area. Will definitely return for more eats...lots to try.“

“LOVE this place. Love the nachos, and others at the table got margaritas and raved about them. Staff is friendly and helpful. Buffalo chicken wrap was also delicious. Come on Monday nights for trivia. Always a great time, but would prefer if the trivia could be read/handled faster, as we usually have to leave after round 2 or 3 of 5. It is way too long.“

“The hideaway had always been a favorite. Recently came back after a long absence. Have found when sitting at the bar feel ignored, yes aware of staffing shortages. The staff egarly serve what look to be regulars. When they arrive drink made without a discussion, food order placed, second drink...this is while we have been there 10 to 15 minutes with NO acknowledgement. So dissappointed.“

“The food here was just incredible! My sister and I loved every bit of it. The Irish Cheddar Mac & Cheese was sooooooo yum! My sister had the NY Strip and loved every bite. Appetizers, loaded tater kegs and south west spring rolls were scrumptious! Service was on point and super friendly! Was worth the short wait to get a table. We were so lost in our wonderful dinner we almost forgot about our concert. When I come back this way... this is where we are eating! 5 Stars!“
