12 Best Beer Bars in New Haven

“This is such a cute spot! Really great atmosphere, they always have events going on too. I know it’s a coffee shop but they also sell beer! I think the one that they have right now is unfortunately seasonal, but if you get the chance, try the apple pie cider!“

“Authentic Korean food worthy of NYC Korean Town. Had the Mr. Gukbop beef soup, and it was a delicious, rich and spicy beef broth soup. Big and rice on the side to add in as you like. Beef bulgogi was great and appreciated the included noodles and tteok rice cakes. Also loved the tteokbokki and panchan. Will be back!“

“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“

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

“If you remember the bar called Old Heidelberg that was in this location 40 years ago, this is not the same bar. That Old Heidelberg closed, and the space was a Thai restaurant for a number of years. More recently, it reopened as a bar under the old name. The new version is a traditional American bar with good drinks. Nothing fancy, but a good place to hang out. I didn't rate the food only because I haven't tried it.“

“Every Saturday and Sunday from 11am- 5pm they offer family day where kids can come in to play. My 6 year old loves this place. Wrestle Mania is definitely a favourite game. The food and drinks are excellent. Fries best in New Haven. The staff are lovely. The street Barcade is located on is closed to traffic in the summer creating a public promenade which is nice.“

“Prime BRG was an absolute highlight of our day in New Haven!

We ordered the OG Burger, and it was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The New Haven Hot Chicken Sandwich had just the right little kick, with perfectly crispy breading and so much flavor!

And the sides! The fries were some of the most perfectly cooked fries we've had. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The onion rings had that perfect balance of breading to onion, which is harder to find than you'd think!

The buffalo cauliflower was another standout. I've typically only had it unbreaded, but their breaded version took it to an entirely different level. Absolutely delicious!

What really rounded out the experience was the hospitality. From our server Amanda to Christina behind the bar, both were wonderful and made us feel so welcome.

Fantastic food, great people, and an experience that made our visit to New Haven even more memorable. Definitely a place we'd return to!“

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

“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. 😋“
