19 Best Cocktail Bars near Rocky Hill

“I attended a baby shower there and it was delicious and the the staff and the manager couldn't have been nicer . The garlic cheese bread was delicious and the sweet potato ravioli was second to none. The whole meal was 5 star worthy. Can't wait to go back !“

“Since moving to the area, the OC has quickly become a regular spot to go and sit at the bar and have a very relaxed evening with great food and drink. Last night was no different - pictured is the very delicious lamb chop special that was offered with a choice of two sides (garlic mashed potatoes and sprouts). After starting with a bourbon-based cocktail, the bartender was quite knowledgeable in finding a nice red wine (a Chianti) to pair with it. And if you have a sweet tooth, their dessert offerings are quite tasty - including the lemon cake!“

“I came here for dinner with a friend, and I was blown away by the quality of their food! They cooked the steak perfectly - more on the rare side (this is the French way), and it was absolutely delicious! Everything else was wonderfully seasoned, and both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal.The service was fantastic! I highly recommend this spot and I can't wait to return for another meal!Vegetarian options: Ratatouille was the only vegetarian entree I could see, but I didn't look too hard. Many people ordered this dish, so it's apparently really good!Dietary restrictions: I would avoid this restaurant if you have any significant dietary restrictions. Butter is used in everything so there's no way around that!Parking: West Hartford Center parking.“

“We just had a brunch for 70+ people after a funeral here last weekend. The owner was wonderful. I did not have to worry about a thing. The food was terrific, the staff wonderful, the venue perfect...they could even have accomodated more folks if needed. I didn't have to worry about thing. I highly recommend Cotton Hollow Kitchen. Very pleased.“

“Excellent food and service! Went last minute for dinner on Saturday night. It was an hour wait, but they have a large waiting area with tables where you can sit and enjoy drinks and apps. Ricotta appetizer was to die for. Also loved my entree...Amish Chicken.“

“My girlfriend and I love trying new restaurants and today was the Hop Haus. I must say from the minute we walked in, we felt happy as the place was warm and friendly. Mary, our bartender, did an excellent job making sure we had everything we needed. I said to myGirlfriend, I guess there really is “something about Mary”. The food was excellent and the drinks were the best. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks for hiring such great people. They truly make the placeSpecial!!“

“Our first time dining at Mecha, but definitely not our last! Dylan was extremely kind and helpful when I called to inquire about seating, making a reservation (they don't - it's a waitlist system)... our server Lauren was awesome! She was patient (we had a million questions) and made wonderful suggestions. Super helpful considering we were first timers... and the food! Everything we ordered was delicious! The mushroom dumplings, general tso's shrimp, the ramen were all fabulous, fresh and full of flavor. I had the ground chicken seasonal special and am absolutely going back before the season changes to have it again. I highly recommend this place.“

“I used to love coming here pre pandemic! I brought my friend with me from out of town and we were having a GREAT night with the bartender Dustin (who literally was excellent), and at the end of the night it was just my friend, the owner, and I. The conversation was calm and civil and fun and suddenly out of NOWHERE the owner proceeded to verbally assault us, calling us expletives and making us feel unsafe and unwelcome. We decided it was no longer for us and stepped outside, at which point he FOLLOWED US OUTSIDE and alternated between apologizing and cursing at us and begging us to come back inside until we left. I’m glad we didn’t go back inside as his behavior was erratic and potentially dangerous, considering we were two women and he is a much larger man. We were afraid and felt safer walking home (in Hartford that says something) rather than staying put. I’m bummed because I used to like this place, but it’s come to my attention we are certainly not the only women with this experience. Please be careful y’all.“

“Great food , vibes and atmosphere.“

“Piggy's is a pretty cool and lowkey place to pre-game! They have an extensive drink menu which includes classics and some experimental drinks. I've had the wings and fries which were good for a quick bite. The bartenders are super friendly and attentive!“
