Opens around 9 a.m. for the few early-drinking regulars and keeps a slow pace throughout the day until a louder crowd arrives at 5 or so. Love the regular-crowd vibe, of which the bartenders and owner are a part. I've been going here for years when I lived in Hartford and when I'm in town now. Amenities: No taps, just liquor and bottles. Cheap prices. Food selection is frozen burgers/sandwiches/pizza (cheap) and snacks (Cheez-Its, jerky, pickled eggs). Seating is at bar stools and a couple booths. Pool table. (Note: I was horrified to see this listed as "closed" a while ago. I had to play phone a friend to verify that it's not. To my knowledge it's been open continuously for a long, long time.)

You'll see them around on Friday night having dinner. Now, Friday night is prime rib. Where can go for inexpensive drinks, cool local feel and a great prime rib dinner that costs $12?! It comes with roll, baked potato and salad. Try the burgers, potato skins, fish & chips. Do understand, it's a bar... only one food server on Friday nights, and you get your own drinks from the fabulous bar staff. They also started up again daily lunch specials and Thursday night dinner. Come see the staff...Gina, Debbie, Coach, Candy, Lindsay, and Joe the cook. You won't be disappointed. It's not fancy, it's friendly! That's what I love about "my" Office!

After our Connecticut River Museum sea shanty sailboat ride last night (8:30pm on a Tuesday), we…read morewent to dinner here. Quirky, CASH-ONLY, VERY popular, no-frills place. People kept arriving the entire time we were there. We sat in the quiet, outer enclosed porch area, away from the busy, noisy bar. Fresh seafood "delivered every day except Wednesday." Huge portions of decent food at a great value--my fresh, delicious, lightly battered, FLOUNDER Fish & Chips with TWO WHOLE FILLETS was only $18 cash!!! The guys were less impressed with (but still enjoyed) their huge 12oz cheeseburgers and Philly cheesesteak. We started with (rather humdrum) potato skins, which we never do. The bill came to $81 before tax and tip. For a family of 4. I think that's crazy low for all the food (no drinks) we got. Maybe this is what a restaurant that doesn't deal with credit card fees can be like? I'd go back if I were in the neighborhood. Heck, McDonald's would have cost nearly this much nowadays.

If it sticks & you can't get it to un-stick with some gentle smacks, the very sweet bartender will unlock it for you. There was a band playing when we were there - I think "City of Meriden" was the name? Super good, super funky, super weird. The cover was $10 per person. Worth it.

What's not to love about 33?

You can also put quarters for the table on your tab if you don't have cash, which a lot of places won't do for you (the table is free some nights too!). I don't believe they serve food, but the beer and liquor is very reasonably priced and hits the spot every time.

There is plenty of room inside and a large deck outside which gives you all the room you need to explore the rustic charm of this venerable watering hole. The place was really busy when I got there and when I left at 4:30 it was jammed packed; Erica was the only one behind the bar but service never suffered a whit. I actually am dumb founded at how well she maintained and keep up with things in the midst of an avalanche of new patrons. Great place to stop by for a beer or a mixed drink and mingle within this true slice of Americana, you don't want to miss The Shamrock, the Plymouth Rock of Dive Bars!

The mule is definitely my favorite drink here, it's been made perfectly each time I had it. We had a big group, so we ordered a variety of bar bites and I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality of all the food. Especially the garlic bread, wow!!! It was piping hot, fresh and fluffy and just perfect. The host for trivia did a fantastic job and created a super fun event for us. The questions were general-knowledge enough that mostly anyone could have participated. Somehow our team won and the prizes were so fun!! More people need to know about this place!!

I used to go down the street, but the music selection there changed. For those of you frequent to Southington, Spelunkers took over the old Dial 9 speakeasy location. It's a competitive food area and I didn't know what to expect. I'm happy to say that for being marketed as strictly a dive bar, Spelunkers hit all the marks and some. It also was surprisingly large inside compared to what it looked like from the outside (Which was great because some of the other bars nearby are cramped). Their burgers were good and my friends felt the same way about the food that they ordered as wll. They have ample seating (and a variety of it) as well as a pool table and some arcade games to do while listening to music. Prices for drinks were also fair. The interaction that I had with staff, although brief was very friendly. The band they had that night was excellent. Glad I came to see them. They played an eclectic mix of both genres and decades. They were energetic, their song choice were great and they were refreshing to see compared to the typical Southington fare. If they come back to Spelunkers, I'll free my schedule up to come and see. Been watching the socials . Happy to have a fun bar experience again around here and look forward to my next trip.
