Trophy Room American • $$
855 Bolton Rd, Storrs

“5 Stars – A Hidden Gem with Amazing Vibes and Even Better Bartenders!

The Trophy Room in Storrs, CT is hands down one of my favorite spots in town. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or kick off a night out with friends, this place never misses. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively, and the drink selection is always on point.

What really sets Trophy Room apart, though, are the bartenders—especially Olivia and Allison. These two are absolute stars behind the bar. They’re not only incredibly skilled at crafting top-notch cocktails, but they also bring such good energy to the place. Friendly, attentive, and always down for a quick chat or a solid recommendation, they make you feel right at home every time.

Olivia and Allison elevate the whole experience, and honestly, they’re a big reason I keep coming back. If you haven’t checked out Trophy Room yet, do yourself a favor and stop by—just be ready to make it your new go-to spot!“

“Our men’s college basketball team has enjoyed breakfast at Dog Lane Café on several occasions over the past few years, and it’s always a great way to start the day. The food is fresh, tasty, and consistently a team favorite--whether it’s a hearty breakfast sandwich or something lighter. The service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. A big thank you to Brianna, who always goes out of her way to make sure everything runs smoothly for us. Dog Lane has become one of our go-to breakfast spots downtown, and we really appreciate their quality, consistency, and warm hospitality.“

“The nostalgia around this place is out of this world. Heard Sue Bird and Diana Turasi brag about it while watching the final four and I can see why. Owners are always working, staff is one of the best in business, food is always warm, and the beer is always cold. What more could you ask for!

* Side note * Been known to see a few celebrities sneaking around the bar from time to time.“

“My daughter and I stopped here on our way back from a UConn tour - I’m vegetarian and the Mediterranean pasta was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had - highly recommend!!! My daughter ordered chicken and a side of fries, the fry order was huge for $5! I helped her eat the fries and we both couldn’t put a dent in it! Friendly staff, beautiful sunset view - if we are ever back in the area we will definitely stop back in!“

“I came here last night for the first time after a recommendation and so glad we did cause they did not disappoint. The decor is a little dated however we have the nicest waitress Natasha who made the evening so great. She was very prompt and friendly and really funny. The food portions were a generous size and everything we had was really good. We never once asked for water refills, she just kept them coming. Amazing staff. Amazing food. Will be returning to our new local favorite spot in the very near future and hopefully will get the same amazing waitress.“
