I went to Smoke and Muddle for Music Bingo roughly two years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since! What started as a fun night out has turned into my go to spot. I’m there at least once a week, sometimes twice.
The atmosphere truly feels like home. The bartenders Robin, Hope, Crystal, and Andy are all amazing and attentive. They’re friendly, welcoming, and always make sure you’re taken care of. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it shows in the service.
Robin has done a fantastic job owning and running this place. She’s built an incredible team and created such a great environment. The food and drink menu is awesome with plenty of options, and everything I’ve tried has been great.
Over time, what started as great service turned into genuine friendships with the staff and Robin. That kind of connection is rare, and it’s what truly sets this place apart. If you’re looking for fun events, amazing drinks, delicious food, and a spot that feels like home the moment you walk in — this is it. I can’t recommend it enough!

My son and I came here after skiing at Mt. Southington. We wanted to go to a sports pub for some pizza and skins and to catch the Pats play Texans. The Google reviews were good so we decided to check out. From the outside, it doesn't look like much but we decided to go in. I am glad we did. They gave Sunday appetizer specials which included 6 wings for $6. The wings were crunchy on the outside and tender inside. The skins had a slight smoke flavor that we both enjoyed and the thin crust pizza was awesome. In addition to food, the service was attentive and top notch. Hope did an excellent job balancing the bar and tables. She was friendly, attentive and made good recommendations. To make the experience even better, they had open play on the pool tables. What a fun place!

Stopped in for drinks to a room with pitifully stark decor and a bartender so aloof that we weren't certain that she was addressing us as she looked in the complete opposite direction as she asked, 'Do you want something to drink?' When we asked if she was talking to us she turned her back and replied 'ugh, yea'. So we placed our orders while she did several shots with other patrons. We received less than minimal attention on an extremely slow night. This location has fallen very fast from its former standing.

I've always enjoyed this establishment every time I have been there. Food is fresh and comes out in a timely manner, bartenders are friendly and quick. Pool tables play great, dart board in the corner for any dart players. Overall fun environment.

This place, they always say it’s the small places that shock you, well I’m shocked. $6 all day Sunday game day wings, pretzels, nachos, sliders. HOT OIL PIZZA! The menu is outstanding. The staff is A+++ and the owner is pleasant and present. I’ll be back, this place is a 10!!!. What a hidden gem!

Do not be thrown off by the hole in the wall exterior. As soon as you walk through the door you are met with the warmest customer service you’ll probably ever get in a restaurant. The food is fresh & made to order. The penne a la vodka is better than most Italian restaurants. The meatball sliders are amazing, my son loved them. The hot oil pizza, amazing. The wings, crispy. Do not be thrown off by the small building. This restaurant is full of love from the customer service to the food❤️

Stopped in because it came up on a search. So glad we went! The drinks were great and service was so friendly. We had wings, meatballs and salads. All the food was delicious. Highly recommended!
Came in after work for their happy hour and ended up staying for the Trivia night they hosted. Food was delicious and at a great price, and the trivia was a blast! Our server Hope was super friendly and made it a great experience, will definitely be coming back!!

I went for restaurant week. I got the Ribeye. It was delicious! Very tasty. The service was amazing! Our waitress, Hope, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of our table. Make sure to stop in, grab a drink, and enjoy a meal.

This review is not only based on the lousy service we didn't receive because they decided to close 2 hours before their posted hours, which we tried to call to confirm they were serving still and no one answered, but the lousy answers the owner seems to give to dissatified customers. I actually work in the industry, new establishments usually close within the first five years of service, and by the way you are going you won't make it that long. If you are closing 2 hours early on a Saturday night and the bar around the corner, Groggy Frog, is still packed, then you are failing. So far your staff seems to be entirely unfriendly and unreasonable. Your food could be great but if no one wants to stay with rude service, customers won't make it to a meal. Hopefully you heed this and not go the route of your staff and get rude or nasty. Good luck.
