Screens for any sport televised. A whole wall of screens in the enclosed patio. Often hosting Live music. People having a good time and keeping it chill. Not too much drama age 25-35. Fewer 55 plus. Food is hot cocktail are stiff, brews are fresh and cold. Good vibe.

At first I was excited that they Shepherds pie. Worst shepherds pie ever. No creamed corn more like freeze dried. Creamed corn shouldn’t be crunchy. Meat had no gravy. Atmosphere was more a frat party.

Good shepherds pie with lamb and a crusty topping of cheese. Outdoor seating was great. Others in my party had fish and chips as well as beef tips. Both were enjoyed. We also shared the pretzel appetizer, which was good . Overall, a good place in Mystic Seaport.

We stumbled upon Friar Tuck’s Tavern on a busy evening in Mystic when nearly every other restaurant required reservations or had long wait times. What a lucky find! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient without being overbearing. It felt like the kind of place where the team actually enjoys working together and taking care of guests.

The ambiance at Friar Tuck’s strikes a perfect balance between laid-back and lively. With its cozy medieval-inspired décor, warm lighting, and inviting atmosphere, it felt like a hidden gem amidst the tourist crowds. Whether you’re just stopping in for drinks or looking for a full meal, it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to return to. With so many places in Mystic packed or booked solid, this place not only saved our night—it made it.

The food at Friar Tuck’s Tavern was just as impressive as the service and ambiance. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared, but the standout dish by far was the mussels. They were incredibly fresh, cooked to perfection, and served in a rich, savory broth that we couldn’t stop dipping our bread into. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in using quality ingredients and bold flavors. If you visit, I highly recommend the mussels—you won’t be disappointed.
