22 Best Cocktail Bars near Mystic

“This was a last minute decision and it was well worth it and I can’t wait to go back. I sat at the bar with no reservations and enjoyed a cocktail that bartender crafted & it was fabulous. For bites I had the grilled shrimp
Skewer and the hummus and bread. The portion size was plenty. I highly suggest trying this great small spot with a menu that needs more five star reviews !“

“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!“

“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!“

“OMG the food was absolutely delicious
Now please don't be put off by the cost yes $65 pp is a lot of money I'm a blue collar worker but it was my 30 th wedding anniversary so my wife and I decided to go for it the waitress had told us that some walk away because of the cost but all I can say to them is your really missing out so for 65 bucks you get to take from a raw bar, charcuterie board, overnight, oats, mixed fruit, pastries, coffee bar, and tea, that's an all you can eat ,then you get to pick from a breakfast menu a main dish and as if that's not enough you get a dessert tower all I can say is OMG all that for only $65 pp what a deal and if you can't finish your food you get to take it home 🏡
This place is located on the roof of soft bakery in mystic stairs to navigate up but easy climb“

“Best spot in downtown Westerly. I fact best spot in Westerly and surrounding areas.“

“Delish food excellent customer service wonderful atmosphere“

“My husband can’t stop talking about the Beef Cheek BOURGUIGNON he had at your restaurant last night. Best meal he ever ordered at a restaurant. 53 years old, that is saying a lot. The Cafe is our new favorite restaurant in the area.“

“What a great place!! We sat at the bar and our server/bartender was awesome!! We missed the music that was starting at 2:00 but we will be back for sure. On Sunday they serve a small brunch menu as well as their amazing full menu! There is so much there to try!!“

“I stumbled into this cozy little spot while exploring Rhode Island and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. It is the perfect mix of a relaxed coffeehouse and a cool evening lounge, with comfortable seating that makes you want to stay for hours. I started with an incredible espresso martini that was perfectly balanced, and then listened to some fantastic live music while enjoying a glass of local wine. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the decor had so much character, and the overall vibe was just wonderful for unwinding after a busy day of traveling.“

“We are from Connecticut, and headed to East beach yesterday, on one of the hotter days. Wanted to try something different for dinner and found this place. I highly highly recommended. Love the building, the location and especially the food. Very, very creative, but approachable and delicious. We tryed acouple of the different tacos, and also the green curry on grits, which made my mouth very, very happy. You've got to try this place.“

“From the greeting when arrived, our server (Anna) and Malakai….AMAZING service, food, and cocktails! Although we were “stuffed,” we had to try the fried ice cream—- it concluded a great meal with a 10/10—OUTSTANDING—the best I’ve ever had!

Thanks for a memorable experience!“

“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”“

“Great place to take an elegant date. Nice lighting nice music affordable atmosphere. Food is tight meaning excellent . Nice place for that nice girl you really like👍🏾“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Most important thing - it opens early and is in the lobby so easy to find!
Coffee comes strong and a tall coffee is exactly that! They also ensure you do not burn your hands. Is often a very cheerful lady (with a great taste in Puerto Rican music) there whose politeness and level of service is extraordinary“

“Rude young female hostess working there on 7/5 in the afternoon. Give us an attitude and side eye when we asked for booth. Food is great waiter and other service people are very nice. The place wasn't busy and we saw 3 booth table seats open so not sure what the issue was. I would recommend don't let the rude hostess ruine your experience.“

“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!!“

“I really enjoyed Nouvelle,the atmosphere is great, it's very low key ,but chic, and I loved the food! I had the steak and a salad ,it was delicious!My friend had the chicken Parmigiano, he had red wine,and I had a great Reisling wine. He used Mohegan Choice credits to pay,and the equivalent would be approximately $50 each for dinner and $150 for the wine. A bit on the high side,but if you are looking for an elegant ,but slightky casual place,its romantic and at the same time has gambling rooms for larger groups ,and machines inside! Twice they've had live music,on the weekend, sort of jazz. The service was excellent, and timely and the dessert was excellent.“

“Go to Mexican food when in Connecticut.“

“Dinner was great until mice were bombarding us, atleast 3 coming out of the booth, going in and out:/ idek what is happening here.“
