“My wife and I enjoy going to Legends Tavern during the week nights to play darts and have a few seltzers since October of 2022. The owner Jay is a great guy who we enjoy talking to as well as the other folks who work there. The tavern is kept clean especially the bathrooms (huge plus in my book). The food offerings are amazing at a great price too. It's great to see that it has a lot of different games stocked. Overall just a fun little watering hole that people should not sleep on.”

“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!”

“Let me start by saying we live in Coventry and Kathmandu has delivered hot delicious food to our home time and time again! This evening my wife and I decided to dine in and the experience was better than expected! We had Samosas, Thai noodles, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Tikka Masala, and Naan. The service was friendly and attentive. The owner/chef came out to our table to ask how everything was. What I told him is what I'm telling all of you. This is the best Indian food I've had to date! I have a strong culinary background and highly recommend you put this place on a short list of great food destinations! In the past we've had curry lamb, tomato soup, tom yam soup, lolipop chicken, fried rice, and aloo paratha. Make your way through the whole menu, you won't be disappointed!”

“The bartender sue can be really mean, she treated me as I was some bum off the street when I asked a friend of mine for just a dollar, and embarrassed me in front of them. Otherwise everyone else was always cool with me, it's definitely a great place to have fun. And it's always open on most or all holidays, when others are closed. I still recommend that people do come to hot shots and have a very good time.”

“Great experience! If you’re dropping your kid off at UConn for orientation, make sure you stop by. The two ladies and the pizza cook treated us really well. One of them even gave my son, who will be attending UConn in the fall, some helpful advice about campus. Overall, the pizza was really good! We’re from Philly, but we’ll definitely be back for more. Thank you to Emma, Alyssa, and Nathan!”

“Hands down one of the best college bars around! The energy here is exactly what you want on a night out at UConn. Great music, packed dance floor, and a fun crowd every time. The drinks are affordable (huge plus for college students), and the bartenders are quick and friendly even when it’s busy. Perfect spot to go with friends after a long week of classes. Whether you’re there to dance, hang out, or just enjoy the vibe, this place never disappoints. Definitely a go-to bar if you’re in the UConn area!”
