10 Best Bars near Waterford

“Been here a few times now. Raw bar is excellent. Tried lobster roll, and specials each time we’ve gone and the chef does a great job. The vibe and service are perfect for this area on the water in Waterford. Definitely worth a visit for date night or the kids since they are a family friend place now.“

“Had the crème brule French toast and eggs Benedict at our Easter brunch and both were outstanding. The ladies of the wait staff worked so well together and made our visit a joy. My husband said that the eggs Benedict were as delicious as those he had at Commanders Palace in New Orleans years ago….complements to the chef!“

“Love this "Dive Bar" it plays great country music, has the coldest beer in CT. The bartenders are extremely friendly, prices are awesome. They have music Fri/Sat/Sundays...call ahead to confirm. The owners are awesome, and the clientele is always friendly...I drove 20 miles to have a cold beer...it's that great place to just hang!!! Pool table a plus!“

“I went here for a work lunch and I had a pretty good experience! The service was really good, we had people join as they showed up and as soon as someone new arrived at the table, someone was over to ask them for their beverage order. Our food also arrived very quickly after ordering and the view of the golf course was lovely. I got the spicy chicken wrap and it was only okay, it was a little on the drier side and the tortilla seemed a little stale. It was peeling kind of strangely and felt hard. The fries were good, though. It was a still a good experience, there was a lot of seating available so I highly recommend for larger groups.“

“Found this place by accident while waiting for a train, and what a jewel of a find it is. We got there right after it opened and it was quiet, but quickly a few regulars showed up and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The bartender was nice, funny, and made us feel as welcome as the regulars at the bar too. The decor and just overall vibe was stellar. I can only imagine how great it would be during peak hours with more people and live music. It is on the smaller side, so I can imagine it gets crowded, but that's half the charm of a hole-in-the-wall spot like this“

“Authentic dimsum and great service all around. My family and I appreciate the owners coming to check on us and the food orders come out pretty quickly. My favorites are the shrimp steamed rice roll, steamed roast pork bun, pineapple bun, chicken feet, scallion pancake and the yang zhou fried rice! When I’m sick, I also like ordering their congee. Comparative to other dim sum places, I enjoy that their dishes are not too oily and sauces aren’t too heavy. Overall, highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Plain steamed rice roll, Chinese broccoli, vegetable fried riceParking: Parking available all around the buildingKid-friendliness: Dim sum family style tables, high chairs available“

“Well we started off with staying down at the mystic Marriott hotel in spa Looking for some places to eat and we hit Google then Yelp and Ryan's pub came up So we took a drive we couldn't find the place it's actually a little hole in the wall pub/bar next to a smoke shop, the food was excellent we had some bang bang shrimp, I had a bacon barbecue Burger With a couple Of Jack and cokes and my significant other had like a seafood platter & I will say the food was great. I wish I had gotten some pictures of the food as it was the last thing on my mind. The Atmosphere is like a pub/bar & friendly So don't be afraid of that I definitely recommend this place, Hit them up for lunch or dinner But either way I can say the food was awesome better than most restaurants.“

“I highly recommend this place! Shout out to Becki for being the best bartender, she makes the best mojitos, 10/10! Lee is also super kind and friendly too! My fiancé and I have come here twice in the last two weeks and want to make it a weekly thing! My friends came with us tonight and they really enjoyed it!“

“The Dutch is a awesome hole in the wall. You would never know this place was here. The place is no bigger than my living room. Great crowd of people and nothing is over 5 bucks on the menu, you can not beat that. If you are in the area you definitely want to give this place a shot.“

“This is a fun, old fashioned, down to earth bar, which is becoming rarer these days. They have country dancing lessons, pool, and dart boards. The food is simple bar food which is a fun guilty pleasure once in a while. The bartenders are really nice and as well as the people who go there.“
