Great little spot all the way to the rear of the People’s bank Arena and up a set of stairs or the ramp. Plenty of screens and views of the inner arena, clean and well organized- service was excellent. The bookmakers counter/CT Ilottery service was extremely helpful.

Went here after the St. Pattys Day festivities on Saturday. It was good to go and grab food. The food was fast and good (I was drunk though so any thing would have been good). The service was great as well.

A nice simple place to place your bets legally and get paid if you win. Pretty empty during the weekdays but weekends are busy. I'd eat there unless its a big game day, then go to a nearby restaurant. I'm glad CT offers this venue.

The staff and the setup with TVs is great! Minimal food menu

Closes way too early

Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to dine here before a game. My party of four arrived here ninety minutes before the tip-off of a UConn game and when the waitress finally arrived, were told that the menu had been reduced to hot dogs and nachos. We left.

This sportsbook is downright terrible and completely a waste of time, the place is literally closed everyday hours before the advertised 10 PM close 7 days a week. The machines are even worse its a challenge just to place a wager the machines often glitch and shutdown over and over and your stuck looking at a blacked out screen and you have to wait for someone to come and help you reset your machine adm retrieve your money or voucher thats still in machine. Lastly the food is terrible its a total rip off for what your being charged and thats not even counting the fcat that the food/bar is only by credit or debit card only. This place is a dump they need a total revamp, new machines, new employees new cooks new everything honestly. Someone needs to take over this place ASAP because they are already complaining about losing money and not bringing in any profits but they do everything to hurt they chances of ever seeing a profit so I can see exactly why! 🤣😭🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Tried this place twice as I live nearby. Wanted to love it but just couldn’t. Portion sizes are small (u can tell just by looking at the “8 oz burger” it’s actually a quarter pounder). Manager controlling the tv’s doesn’t seem to know what big games are on, and if u ask them to put a specific game on, it takes a solid 15-20 mins to get it up on any one of the TVs.
However, place looks really nice and staff is friendly.
