19 Best Cocktail Bars near Mashantucket

“We went to Foxwoods casino to see a concert, while there we wanted to try Momosa Japanese restaurant. The place was beautifully decorated, had a nice vibe, there were plenty of servers and ours was very professional. We ordered two noodle soup dishes, a vegetable roll and a cocktail. My chicken soup was bland and didn’t have much flavor. Probably wouldn’t order this again. The roll was different because it had carrots and green beans. The other soup was a spicy pork and that had better taste.
I would go back to try other dishes.“

“The best dining experience my wife and I have had in Connecticut! I cannot recommend Barbary Coast highly enough. Magnificent flavors and plating, incredibly attentive service, and a serene, immersion atmosphere. We can't wait to go back!“

“My husband and I visited S & P Oyster Co. on our honeymoon, and it truly could not have been a more exquisite experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, inviting, and perfect for a special occasion. We started with fresh oysters on the half shell, pan-seared octopus, and pan-seared scallops, each dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely outstanding. For our entrées, we enjoyed the sesame-encrusted yellowfin tuna and the homemade squid ink pasta, both of which were exceptional in flavor and quality. Our waiter, Jeff, made the night even more memorable. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind, offering wonderful recommendations and never rushing us. The drinks were fantastic as well and complemented the meal perfectly. S & P Oyster Co. gave us a honeymoon dinner we will never forget. We can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to return. We make it a point to come every year!“

“Just enjoyed amazing cocktails (Gimlet and Curry Barbados) and Nosh (mushrooms had amazing flavor, Korean fried chicken sandwich, salty and delicious, empanadas crisp and yummy) from their Happy Hour menu which is being expanded from 4:00 to 6:00. On Tuesday starting at 6:30 or 7:00 is a jazz quartet which we sadly had to miss but will definitely be back. Our waitress Claire was darling and very informative. Bartender was spectacular!“

“Outstanding food and service at this very cool rooftop eatery. Great for anytime of year and the food is some of the best of not the best you will ever have in Mystic. So, come enjoy and do not miss out! I had the mushroom tart, butternut squash soup, charcuterie platter, tuna nicoise and a delish blood orange drink. Everything was amazing!!“

“Milagro Cafe is a standout. The food is delicious, deeply authentic, and clearly a step above typical Mexican fare. The specials are always a welcome surprise, showing real creativity and care, and the staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. There’s Mexican food—and then there’s Milagro Cafe.“

“11.11.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - Ep.179 🇺🇸 (Veteran’s Day Edition) 🍽️ Breakwater - Stonington Borough, CT Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot It was one of those raw, windy Veteran’s Days down by the shoreline. My pops and I stopped first at Stonington Point, the American flag waving strong over the water. He looked at it and said, “I did my 20.” That line hit deep. From there, we made our way to Breakwater, a beautiful spot right on the harbor. The second we stepped inside, we were greeted by that warm coastal glow thru bright windows, with beautiful waterfront views, and a calm, classy energy. 💣 And then came one of those full-circle moments life throws at you sometimes… Our server was Trina, someone I worked with almost 30 years ago at Mohegan Sun Casino. Seeing her again made the day even more special. She was absolutely wonderful, kind, quick, and professional. It was everything you could expect. Service was top-notch. 💣 Now let’s talk about that food 👇🏾 1️⃣ Crispy Fried Calamari- $17.50 💣 Light, crispy, and perfectly fried. The cherry peppers gave it just the right kick, and that Thai Chili sauce was straight fire. Pops and I tore it down in minutes 🤷🏾‍♂️😀 both calling it a bomb. 2️⃣ Fish & Chips- $24.50 💣 Fried Atlantic Cod - Done golden and perfect. My fries were crispy and seasoned just right; My Pops went with sweet potato fries. Delicious Coleslaw, and with cocktail sauce every bite of fish hit. Comfort food at its best. We both said bomb 3️⃣ Seafood Pasta- $34.50 💣 This one was loaded: four big scallops, three shrimp, crab meat and two thick lobster pieces all swimming in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce with a little sweetness from the julienne veggies. Every bite was rich, buttery, and flavorful. This s**t was incredible - bomb all the way. Everything we ordered hit. No misses, no maybes. Breakwater delivered from start to finish Son! Great atmosphere, phenomenal service, and food that was cooked with care and flavor. This Veteran’s Day review turned into something special. Breakwater is officially a Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot. You need to get your a** down there right away and check them out and make sure you tell ’em, Big Al sent you! See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “Always Keeping it Real to Reel”“

“Not much to look at from the outside, but very deceiving. Our dinner was excellent. My husbands muscles were served perfectly. And, I had the best and most unusual salad. And our server, Adam, was by far the best ever. Olio is lucky to have him.“

“We visited before dinner time on a weekday but they still had a steady flow of customers. The gentleman mixologist working day shift was awesome (I’m horrible with names) very interactive, professional and fun. We moved to a table to eat at shift change and were not disappointed. The fritters were great, sweeter than I like but still impressed with the flavors and appreciated they were cooked through for the generous sizes! Quesadillas were perfect and thick! The surf and turf…. The only thing I could say bad was there was only two shrimp, however they were HUGE and butterflied beautifully. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The portions will never have you saying “that’s all for the price?” You guys are doing a great job! Can’t wait to come back and get deeper into the menu!“

“Francesca and Marlee were a great team making our order. I could tell Marlee was training but she asked when she needed help and worked through it. My spiked coffee was amazing, with just the right amount of cream as suggested by Francesca. Would buy again and try the other flavors!“

“100 stars a must try Sol Toro!! It’s way better than the fast food places .. food was all fresh guacamole made right at your table, waiting staff and managers were all marvelous!! Try the buffalo cauliflower tacos!! Chicken quesadillas chicken fajitas all came a must!!“

“Just got back from the 1st Sunday of the month night with Mystic Dead. Met the owner who seemed like a super humble and unassuming guy. The staff and the food and the band (of course) were all amazing! Looking forward to chilling down by the river after the shows when the weather warms up a bit. Drove down 2 hours for this show at this venue. Totally worth it on all accounts!!“

“Me and my friends love this place. Drinks and atmosphere are great and reasonably priced. Only reason i’m giving a 4 —this place used to have a spinach dip starter on the menu. Normally, this wouldn’t warrant any mention, but this spinach dip was possibly the best of all time, and i’ve been all over the country in my lifetime. No exaggeration —BEST spinach dip of all time. Me and 4 friends came here several years back and it left a huge impact on all of us. If you’re the best at something, don’t abandon it. Bring back that spinach dip. Make spinach dip great again 2025. MPDGA!!“

“Go to Mexican food when in Connecticut.“
