“If you go to Mancora and don’t get Julio as your server… you’re doing it WRONG. 💯🔥

We went to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and Julio turned it into a whole EXPERIENCE. The energy? 10/10. The service? ELITE. The vibe? UNMATCHED.

He was on point the entire night—attentive, fast, super friendly, and just knew how to make everything feel special. It didn’t feel like regular service, it felt like VIP treatment from start to finish.

He made sure the birthday celebration hit different 🎉 and honestly, that’s the kind of service you don’t forget.

Mancora is already amazing, but Julio takes it to another level. If you see him, just know you’re about to have a great night.

We’re definitely coming back… and asking for Julio every time 🔥👏“

“Our first time at this establishment since it changed hands and it certainly will not be our last. My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed the craft cocktails and conversation with Moriah. Looking forward to returning on a night when they have live entertainment.“

“🥰 Excellent food. Dining experience.“

“I have been going to Franks on and off for 15 years. (My father used to lived above the bad in the 1970s but that is a story for another time). This place is quiet and quick service. The staff is also appealing to the eye. I highly recommend.“

“I'm new to Hartford Connecticut I've lived here less than a year. I also don't really drink ever. Lately I've wanted to be social so I check this place out. The people I've met here for the most part are really great people easy to talk to and it's a laid-back place. I really like it here I think you might too. 😁“

“Friendly staff and awesome food.“

“It's one of those places where you feel a warm inviting atmosphere the bartenders are cordial and the music is nice they have one pool table but we share taking turns by putting your name on the board overall it a great place to be to “

“Very sad that they are closing soon 😔 Good luck Tony and Debbie in your retirement.“

“The best chicken wings in CT are here! Large bar area, friendly attentive bartender (Monica you are awesome) and staff. Just a wonderful place to eat, drink and socialize.“

“great atmosphere and great bar food“

“I know this was a million years ago (‘80s) the giant LI iced teas? They were served in like a gallon glass with siphons and they served a bunch of people, and they were buy one get one on your birthday! Does anyone remember?“

“Club house on Main in Glastonbury has been a new spot that I have ventured to from time to time and found it always lively with staff that is equally lively, pleasant and attentive. Though there has been one server Nicole W who stood out during my last visit when I brought my kids to watch the Uconn game. I found her very attentive, caring and available before during and through out our time there. While our team Uconn lost we still felt as we won with our experience there under the care of Nicole. In fact we look forward to future visits in hopes we have Nicole W working with us again or someone with the same demeanor and even took the time to take a picture with us to seal the night!! Great experience!!
Thanks Club on Main

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price, quality, service, entertainment... this place is amazing!! Got a special surprise: the honey barbecue was mesquite! And they have *farm fresh* pickles! Definitely coming here again!!!“

“I truly enjoyed our dinner, conversation, and the atmosphere. On an evening out to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends and we had the most wonderful meal. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, elegant but extremely comfortable and inviting. The staff friendly and helpful as can be. And omg the food, mmmmmmmmazing. Everything looked amazing, I will tell you I specifically had risotto balls, torched wedge salad, ricotta gnocchi with braisedbeef short rib ragu, and chocolate mousse. I can't look at regular salad the same way ever again and everything else was just amazing on it's own, and as a whole evening experience. Please do yourself a favor and set aside some time to have a meal here.“

“Was there Monday night for dinner and it was amazing from the bread service to the apps drinks dinner and dessert got the bone in ny sirloin cooked to perfection and my friend got the short rib pasta special minus the short rib bc she is a Vegetarian they wete more than happy to accommodate and her food was equally as delicious!!“

“We musta been hungry! The food was devoured before I got any photos. This wonderful restaurant featured live music, a big patio, great hamburgers, a nice beer selection - but the Moonshine! I got a glass of Pete's Maple 80 Connecticut 'shine on the rocks and it was smooth and delicious! A lovely venue for any occasion, great service from Hannah 😄 and - we SHALL return!“

“Hosted our Holiday Party here, amazing atmosphere, food & music!! Holly & Carmine are the best! Check them out ♥️“

“This place was awesome. Food was great. Music was great. Good vibes.“

“I was there last night with my family I came from Florida a few days ago and went to ct to see my brother that goes there all the time with his wife and I may say it was amazing service and all 🙏🏻😊“

“Eclectic menu. While not extensive, there is variety with daily specials. We started with the dumplings and chili with beans. Dumplings and sauce for dipping quite flavorful in the best way. The chili was not too hot, and a hot sauce offered we we wanted more heat. The pasta and red was plentiful and delicious.“

“Food was excellent. Was lucky to be there on a night where they had japanese imported oysters. Got some excellent a5 along with some top quality sushi. Was a very fun experience to share with my daughter who appreciated the entire meal.“

“Everyone needs to try the Skillet Burrito ASAP! It’s new on the menu, all I needed to see in the description was SMOTHERED IN QUESO lol it was the most delicious burrito I have ever eaten. I will be ordering it every time I go there now. I hope enough people review it so they keep it on the menu! You should try it, you will not be disappointed!“

“There are very few places left in America where time has been successfully argued with. The Hartford Club, tucked behind a white Corinthian portico on Prospect Street in the long shadow of the Travelers tower, is one of them.

The Mark Twain Lounge is the main event. Floor-to-ceiling dark paneling, iron ring chandeliers throwing amber light into the upper corners, leaded diamond-glass windows that turn afternoon sun into something quieter and older. A properly mounted elk presides over the room with the authority of a founding partner. The leather club chairs have earned their patina. The crystal is heavy. The ashtrays are serious.

And yes, you can smoke inside. Legally. One of the last rooms in Connecticut where this is true, operating under a grandfathered exemption from the 2003 Clean Indoor Air Act. The humidor cabinet in the corner is well-stocked and the service knows what it's doing. A flat screen somewhere in the paneling was showing basketball, which felt less like a concession and more like evidence the club has decided comfort and tradition aren't mutually exclusive.

The history earns its keep rather than just decorating the walls. Mark Twain was a charter member in 1873 and rabid Davidof smoker. The building itself, designed by Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul and completed in 1903, is on the National Register, intentionally scaled just above a private residence to signal institution without losing the feeling of a home.

Prime Rib Night. Raw bar. Yum. Reciprocal access to over 1,000 clubs worldwide.

This is a room that rewards slowing down. Bring someone worth talking to, order something with weight, and let the building do the rest.“

“Incredible food and even better service there was a understandable error during my food pick up process and they went above and beyond to make it right for me. 100% would recommend for my family and friends and plan on returning there many times over“

“Red Rock Tavern is the hidden gem of Hartford—warm energy, great people, and a vibe that always hits. If you’re stepping out on a Saturday, the 90s Karaoke Sip & Paint is the move. Nostalgia, creativity, and good music in one room… it’s the perfect way to elevate your weekend.“

“Great food and the staff makes you feel at home! 🩷 My favorite is the street tacos and queso! They have awesome drinks too!“
