“*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.“

“There's something about a small pouch of coins that a card just can't match!“

“We hosted my daughter’s first birthday party at Morava. From initial contact and choosing a menu through clean up on the day, every step of the process was smooth and stress free. It was a huge relief to know we found a space that could accommodate our group of about 20 people and also handle the food and most other supplies, rather than having to work with multiple different vendors. The food, as always, was delicious and the staff was helpful and attentive. I strongly recommend Morava, whether you’re looking for a local restaurant to add to your regular dining rotation or a place to host a special event.“

“Just leaving Hop Haus in Plantsville and Sam was the best waitress and bartender! Good food and drinks were amazing! Definitely will be back again!❤️“

“Great neighborhoodie kinda bar. Plenty of big TVs, large selection of liquor and beer, great food, great staff and a very large parking lot. On occasion they have bands on the weekends but not quite as often as they used to. I've been going in there on and off well before this place was called Maloney's and I can say I have never seen a fight in there.“

“Friendly bartender, great vibe and food was priced fairly and was delicious.“

“We loved this place when it first opened, but it seems like it’s under new ownership. It’s not necessarily “bad” now, but they have removed a lot of the aspects that gave it its charm (eg. visible guac bar, frequent mariachi band is now only Friday nights). Service is hit or miss but the food usually comes fast. It’s great that they seat you with chips and two dips to choose from. The food is good.

Beware if you have small children, I was informed that *none* of the high chairs in the building have working lap belts. If you have a rambunctious boy like we do, that makes enjoying the meal challenging. It’s too bad that this gem seems to be going downhill.“
