8 Best Cocktail Bars in West Hartford

“Great Atmosphere, wine selection! Fantastic food !!“

“Greeted right away. We sat in seconds and our very friendly waitress took our drink and app order in a minute. Our drinks and food came out right away with a team of kitchen staff. Restaurant manager was circling the dining area, checking on everything. We loved our food and it was prepared to order. We were a party of 7 and we were never rushed. We will be dining here again when we are in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“After seeing this place on Instagram, we decided to try it for lunch on Saturday. Our waitress Jennifer was extremely patient with us. She made sure to answer all our questions (there were many), make helpful suggestions, and was so friendly. The cocktails were great, two of which she made special based off our flavor preferences. She and 2 other bartenders there are competition bartenders. The food was delicious. I only took one picture of our appetizer but everything we ordered was great. We did the lobster minis, 2 half chicken meals, and the shrimp blt salad. If you like fresh ingredients, farm to table, wild caught, homemade syrups, and an upscale vibe you will love this spot!“

“Went in on a Wednesday for a business meeting with 3 partners, we sat at the bar to have a drink, the bartender Emma was a delight. She was friendly with such a warm personality. There was a young man filling the cooler with bottles of beer who joined the conversation, we stayed longer than expected and I will be back with my wife. Excellent customer service good beer and great burgersKid-friendliness: More of a bar“

“Five stars all around. Great, friendly staff. Tasty dishes with an artistic atmosphere!“

“First time going here and I ate very well! We were seated immediately and our server was kind. My friend and I enjoyed all of our sushi rolls! The gyoza was AMAZING, perfectly cooked. The dining area was clean with the perfect amount of lighting. Can't wait to go back! But, entrance area can use a remodel as it looks a little unkempt. I do wish parking was better here as it's on a main road with a very small lot.“
