11 Best Beer Bars in New Haven

“This place is so cute and cozy. I went for one of my friends' performance as a music artist, and it made me wish i lived closer to it. It's about an hour away from where I live, so I can't go often, but I'll definitely drop by any time I'm in the area. They have chalkboard walls full of drawings and writing from locals, lots of cozy seating, and an atmosphere made for talking with people.“

“Amazing authentic gem of a spot by the hospital. I've been on 2 occasions and love that they specialize in Korean soups. Very kind owner who is super on it with refilling banchan and tea. Huge portions and unlimited rice too. I'll definitely be back.“

“Hands down best burger joint in New Haven, possibly CT. Price is extremely fair, waiter Sam provided exceptional service, owner personally delivered food. Overall great place. Definitely locked in for future visits! Thank you guys! Great margarhitas!“

“This was my first time coming here and I absolutely loved it!

Staff was attentive and wait times for food and drink were short. Extensive tap selection, solid mixed drinks, and the food I had was delicious.

Fantastic selection of both retro and some more modern games, a smaller space than I expected, but that wasn't at all an issue, if anything it made it feel cozier and more like a classic arcade of the past.

Absolutely coming back!“

“I stopped in on a Wednesday night (during Yale commencement) and it was packed. The bartender, Michael, was alone. On a normal night handling a bar alone is already impressive, but with how packed it was, he was straight up masterful. I was incredibly impressed with how calmly and professionally he handled himself. Even with it being as hectic as it was, he was still very kind, patient and charismatic. Truly extraordinary.“

“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“

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

“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. 😋“

“Excellent food. Highly recommend“
