“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 🔥👏“

“Stumbled across this place after we got out of a concert, and seriously they have amazing food. The best fried pickles I have ever had. The food does take a minute to come out but its because they cook real food. Where we were sitting you could see the kitchen and you just knew the food was going to be good. The drinks were strong and the atmosphere was chill. The owner was walking around and just was super welcoming, the staff was attentive, you can't beat what you get for the price. Me and my husband are from out of state and we already said we would take a day trip just to go back here to eat.“

“I was in town for the weekend and came across this bar. Let me say the hospitality was amazing. I talked to this one security, i forgot his name (big bearded white guy on the second floor ), he gave me recommendations on what other bars were around and ideas on how to spend my time in CT. The bartenders were amazing and the drinks were great. The bathrooms could be a little bit more clean but overall the experience Was great“

The Hartford Club Bars • $$$

“I'm a wedding photographer who recently had the chance to work at The Hartford Club. And...it's now one of my favorite CT wedding venues!

First is the location. They say it in real estate and, in many ways, it applies to weddings as well. This area of Hartford is awesome photographically. If you book The Hartford Club, you have it for your wedding portraits, but also several walkable locations nearby.

Second is the venue itself. Their service is great, the layout is conducive to a demure wedding day, and the old-school character is really nice.

So from a wedding photographer's perspective, you should definitely consider The Hartford Club for your wedding day!“
