The people I've met here for the most part are really great people easy to talk to and it's a laid-back place. I really like it here I think you might too. 😁“

The Hartford Club Bars • $$$
46 Prospect St, Hartford

“There are very few places left in America where time has been successfully argued with. The Hartford Club, tucked behind a white Corinthian portico on Prospect Street in the long shadow of the Travelers tower, is one of them.

The Mark Twain Lounge is the main event. Floor-to-ceiling dark paneling, iron ring chandeliers throwing amber light into the upper corners, leaded diamond-glass windows that turn afternoon sun into something quieter and older. A properly mounted elk presides over the room with the authority of a founding partner. The leather club chairs have earned their patina. The crystal is heavy. The ashtrays are serious.

And yes, you can smoke inside. Legally. One of the last rooms in Connecticut where this is true, operating under a grandfathered exemption from the 2003 Clean Indoor Air Act. The humidor cabinet in the corner is well-stocked and the service knows what it's doing. A flat screen somewhere in the paneling was showing basketball, which felt less like a concession and more like evidence the club has decided comfort and tradition aren't mutually exclusive.

The history earns its keep rather than just decorating the walls. Mark Twain was a charter member in 1873 and rabid Davidof smoker. The building itself, designed by Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul and completed in 1903, is on the National Register, intentionally scaled just above a private residence to signal institution without losing the feeling of a home.

Prime Rib Night. Raw bar. Yum. Reciprocal access to over 1,000 clubs worldwide.

This is a room that rewards slowing down. Bring someone worth talking to, order something with weight, and let the building do the rest.“
