12 Best Beer Bars in New Haven

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“First time checking out Spruce Coffee and overall it was a good experience. I got a drink from the fall menu and it was really good. The vibe is chill, super cute decor, and the staff was friendly.

Only downside is the space is pretty small, it can feel tight if it’s busy. I was also a little confused where to order since the register is right by the main door. On a crowded day I could see the line being out the door with not much room to wait.

Still, worth a visit for the good coffee and cozy atmosphere.“

“This place is one of the most happiest accidents of my life :>
My father needed to go to the restroom and we happened to stumble upon this place. Being that we were quite hungry and haven't had dinner yet, we decided to have a quick meal here. The food was amazing and reminded me of the time I was in Korea a few months ago, especially the interior. Pricing is honestly superb. Only around 14 dollars (not including taxes and tips) for their signature Mr.Cookbop Stew/Soup which I split between me and father since although being quite hungry, the portion sizes were suuuper generous. Oh, did I mention unlimited side dishes and rice? Was quite surprised they do this since this is the US, but indeed just like Korea they give you unlimited side dishes and refills for your rice (which is also quite rare even in Korea!) Personally for me, the fishcake sidedish were my favorite. Service is also super nice and helpful, overall an amaazing experience. Only thing I was missing was spice, since the food had very little spice in terms of heat, but to be completely fair I do have quite a bit of a spice tolerance and they'd have to cater to locals here as well.“

“Absolutely loved dining there with my husband special thanks to Ciara she was an amazing server and made delicious cocktails the burgers were great as well as the fried pickles which were my favorite we absolutely will be back it’s very laid back love the lighting it was perfect for a lunch date we very much enjoyed it.“

“they have coffee and stuff“

“This local spot is cozy and welcoming. We were seated at the bar for most of the night and saw the place quickly fill up. Even though the bar became very busy as the night went on, Mike our bartender made time to check in with us and the couple seated nearby to make sure we had everything we needed. Highlights include an extremely well made old fashioned, a delicious gin drink that was recommended to us by Mike, and the free popcorn for snacking. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“What fun!
As a Gen X Mom I enjoyed the nostalgic games and music (and beverages) at Barcade. My kiddos loved the big variety of games and kid friendly food options. Most games are one token. One token is 25¢. Took me a minute to find my cents key on this phone keyboard. I don't think I've ever used it.
I haven't been to an arcade in 3 decades. Used to ride my bike across town with friends in the early nineties with $10, get lunch at McDonald's, play games for hours at the mall arcade, and go home when the street lights came on. Not a responsible adult involved, interrupting, or bothered by us all day.
It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?“

“Heads up that they charge an automatic 20% gratuity on takeout orders“

“Finally, a coffee shop where the baristas are as excellent as their coffee. Great spot.“

“Excellent food. Highly recommend“

“At first I was like, “I don’t like seafood boils.” I came here, now I’m hooked, garlic butter spicy, all me. Delish, the best seafood boil compared to others. 😋“
