40 Best Bars near Old Greenwich

“We had such an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, our server Rene Dobson greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcomed. We decided to sit at the bar, so there was no wait.

Rene was extremely attentive, friendly, and had such a great personality. What really stood out was how helpful she was with the menu. Without us even having to ask, they shared some of the most popular menu items and offered recommendations that made deciding what to order so much easier.

The combination of her friendly personality, excellent customer service, and genuine hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great service can truly make a difference and our server definitely delivered. We left feeling very satisfied and would absolutely return. Five stars for outstanding service and making our visit such a pleasant and memorable one!“

“We recently had the pleasure of having dinner at Bosco's. The food was excellent! The menu was well-thought out and varied for everyone's taste. The service and atmosphere were superb. I very highly recommend Bosco's! You can go with friends or bring your family. The owners go out of their way to ensure that every customer is happy. I give Bosco's 5,000 stars!“

“We just hosted a big event at the Townhouse and it was amazing! Dana is a joy to work with, her team was professional, and the food delicious. My vendors loved working with them also!!“

“This place has become one of our local favorites since it opened. The menu has all kinds of interesting items and there's always something delicious for everyone in my family or friend group! The outdoor seating area is very nice as well. The only negative (if you can call it that), is they don't take reservation on the same day so plan ahead!“

“I’ve known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell’s Kitchen, and walking into their new spot felt like no time had passed at all—in the best way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can’t fake—the genuine warmth. They’ve created that rare “locals welcome” atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations—not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place.

This spot is an absolute gem. If you’re anywhere nearby—whether you’re heading to a show or just looking for a great night out—do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll understand immediately why people keep coming back.

And honestly? The only downside is that they’re no longer in Hell’s Kitchen… because I’d be there all the time.“

“The food was delicious and many entrees to choose from we were a group of six“

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.“

“Great local bar. The limited food that they have is excellent. Mainly Pizza and salads, but the piece is phenomenal in the salads Look excellent. Service is great , and prices are extremely reasonable. Please men are drinking people.And I definitely go to this place whenever in the area“

“great intimate venue. wonderful array of music“

“First time in town. First place we went after checking into hotel. Great bar. Great bartender (Maggie?)!

Had a few beers. Watched some baseball. Good time!

Proper Guiness pours. Other good beers on draft. Decent liquor choices.“

“Its not a place like before!! Went today for drinks and atmosphere on sundays is good! Good thing i live 4 houses away 😝“

“A downtown community staple of Stamford. The staff are always engaging and willing to help. They have over 65 beers/wine/saki/kombucha on top. A good plethora of assorted bar foods that are top-notch and kid friendly.

Keep a lookout on their schedule. They offer a lot of community block parties as well as well as nightly events, including an awesome bingo night on Thursdays.“

“Casey’s Tavern is a fantastic local favorite that absolutely deserves a five-star review! From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that feels both classic and inviting.

The food is excellent—simple, well-made, and full of flavor. From hearty comfort dishes to perfectly cooked bar favorites, everything is prepared with care and consistency. It’s the kind of place where every meal feels satisfying and dependable.

The drink selection is great as well, with cold beers and solid cocktails that pair perfectly with the laid-back tavern vibe.

What really makes Casey’s Tavern stand out is the service. The staff is genuinely friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit.

If you’re looking for a comfortable neighborhood spot with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Casey’s Tavern is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“and yet another excellent restaurant. Brasitas of Norwalk they offer everything.... good food, perfect service... cleanliness... great environment... and close to my hotel... the dulce de leche Flan is probably the best I ever had 🙌“

“Hockey season is back and I’m back for all the food and drinks!

Elliot & Angel are so kind, super friendly and professional. I enjoy talking to them when they’re not super busy and they’re always serving amazing food and slinging awesome drinks (beers, cocktails and mocktails).

I enjoy their breakfast. Eggs are cooked to perfection. Their breakfast bowl I had was awesome. I don’t like my food touching so I asked for everything to be individually served. The tots were crispy, chili is awesome! Usually the breakfast bowl is all of the above layered in a bowl. Get it! You won’t be sorry.

The breakfast burrito is pretty hearty. It has eggs, cheese and potatoes wrapped in a flour tortilla. I’ve had their breakfast sandwich on a hard roll and it’s probably one of the best breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon) I’ve ever had.

For lunch and dinner they have many options since it’s a bar & grill. I personally love their chicken Caesar salad (you can get it in a wrap too). The chicken is so moist and seasoned to perfection and grilled nicely. My son practices here three times a week so he grabs dinner to eat in the car and he enjoys the kids menu options.

They’re located on the second floor of SoNo Ice House. Ambiance is a chill vibe with music loud enough to hear but you can still hear your friends during conversations. The tables are seated by the window so you can see your kid(s) play/practice. It’s clean. Has a full bar, full kitchen and booth seating as well. They also have a private party room for rent and they’ll cater it as well. So many great things to say about this establishment.“

“5 Stars – A Bathroom So Nice I Almost Moved In

I can’t speak for the drinks, the service, or the music—because the second I stepped into the bathroom, I knew I’d found my sanctuary.

We’re talking immaculate tile work. The kind of lighting that makes you reconsider your entire skincare routine. Soap that smelled like a lavender field kissed by angels. A full-length mirror. A working lock. Paper towels and a Dyson hand dryer. Someone even folded the toilet paper like a hotel.

I went in to pee. I came out reborn.

If you’re in the neighborhood and nature calls—skip your own house and just go here. Truly Detroit’s best kept secret.“

“Food was really good. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“Great service. Waiter was lovely! The Bibb salad with melon was absolutely delicious! The meatballs were tasty too! The mortadella pizza was fine. It was a bit salty for my liking. A mortadella pizza is one of my favorites and I felt like this missed the mark. The branzino was not tasty. It was dry and overcooked. Our cocktails were delicious! Each one had a unique flavor and not something every restaurant could make! Nice ambiance and child friendly.“

“the classic chicken souvlaki was great. the atmosphere wonderful and loud. 😀“

“Great service and even better memory. Highly recommended.“

“It really just doesn't get any better“

“This place is a blast! Great food, great beers and drinks, awesome bands! It’s the place to be!“

“We just hosted a Celebration of Life- And Walter was wonderful to work with. The food was very good and service top notch!!!!!“

“Think of the last time you were in some little beach town or ski village and stumbled on a totally non-contrived bar that only the locals know about. Now imagine that bar was plucked right out of that place and put in the middle of Rye. That's The Pub. It's a hole-in-the-wall dive bar that's perfectly out of place in Rye. The bartender has a heavy hand, the drinks are cheap, and it's the ideal location to catch up with an old friend.“

“The best Mediterranean food in Westchester. Great for parties, date night, and catching up with old friends. Come in and have a meal. You won't regret it!“

“grew up there as a child above the bar I remember Jim and Ernie it will always be my hometown bar I used to break the boxes down for Ernie to pick up the trash early in the morning I think I was eight back then maybe nine for the history I could tell you“

“Atmosphere, drinks mmm not water down and great price. I love ladies and they are BEAUUUUUUTIFUL. The staff is very respectful and welcoming from the short stocky chocolate security cool dude , bartenders are dope again them girllllls yessssss !!!! BUT the only reason it wasn’t 5 star is that goofy white guy definitely not welcoming , talks like you owe him something and was rude ! Other than that we will return cause this place here is the spot!“

“Stopped in for a late lunch and had the most wonderful Reuben Sandwich, loads of meat and the best crisped bread ever. It was delicious along with the fries I ordered. Had the Cajun popcorn shrimp as an appetizer and they were incredible. Will definitely go back again.“

“Wonderful place, warm ,inviting and great food !!! Been a loyal customer for many years !!! Highly recommend!“

“Great Food, Great Staff, Great Prices. Lots of outdoor tables - will definitely go again! Steak Wedge was awesome! 😋“

“Surprisingly family-friendly for a bar! It’s our go to weekend hangout. There’s a whole separate area away from the main bar where you can let the kids loose (not literally… unless you’re into that). Tons of games: darts, table games, and enough fun to keep everyone entertained while you sip on a perfectly poured Guinness. The food? Ridiculously good. Wings and burgers hit the spot, and my husband swears by the Reuben-it’s basically his soulmate. Just don’t expect fine china here. Everything comes on paper plates, because the food’s too good to waste time on dishes. Bonus: the owners are the kind of people you’d want to have a beer with-friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly doing it right. Highly recommend if you want a place where the whole family can eat, play, and pretend it’s not a bar. 🍔🍺🎯“

“Great pizza, wonderfully creative sandwiches (and killer meatballs!). Legendary jazz and blues legends on the walls and the best house music. Love it!!“

“Service was a little clunky. Food was delicious. Cocktails nice. Overall, a pleasant visit.“

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“Great… just like it’s been for going on 50 years!!“

“Really enjoyed our first time there. Can’t wait to come back and try more food!!!“

“Excellent Service, along with a great Atmosphere. And don't forget very clean bathrooms which keeps many people coming back, since it's a reflection of the prep and service...!“
