    It's been 4 years since I last reviewed Conspiracy, so we are due for an updated 5 star review because I love them and they deserve it. I've been many times since my last review, and each time I swear I love it more than the last. It's my typical girls night hang out spot with one of my besties, and we have so much fun just sitting at our spot at the bar, and just yapping. The bartenders are super nice and knowledgeable, and even though the last few times I've gone I haven't gotten any food, I can confirm you should, because it's super flavorful and tasty. One of the best hidden gems of Middletown. And I say hidden because I literally walk right past it every darn time.

    Really cool bar. Loved the vibe, nice service and really interesting drinks. Good live music too!

    First time coming here here with some friends, pretty slow for a Sunday night. Very dark vibes, like Edgar Allen Poe We started off with Sex on the Beach and a Black Raspberry cider. Both were good. The SOTB had a unique taste that I've never had in this drink before. We also got soft pretzels, a charcuterie board with three cheeses, two meats and crackers with grapes, honey drizzled pistachios, and a cranberry jam. The cheeseburger sliders were great! Everything was good and tasty.

    This is a really cute bar in the area. We love finding these kind of bars with a cute and classy vibe to them. They are definitely our preference at this stage of our lives hehe. It is a bit small so seating is limited. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed our cocktails. I would go back for sure.

    Cheers

    Looking for a great drink spot, here it is. They have a great food, but the set-up is a little tough for apps & drinks since (other than the bar) it's small & low tables with cozy chairs. If the bar is busy, service might be a little delayed but very much worth it!

    Waffle donut sando with chicken

    When I read the website for this place I was very excited to try it out. Craft cocktails, a kitchen open until one hour before last call, but most importantly a self proclaimed dedication to quality ingredients. The place itself is kept very clean, no sticky floors like other bars, but the area we were seated was very dark to the point I needed my phone to read the drink menu. Usually a dark intimate setting like that would have candles or something but they didn't have any. The bar area though is more illuminated. The menu is very creative so i knew I had to try at least two cocktails. The first one was the midori sour, which i was a little hesitant because some of the ingredients were curry leaf syrup and ginger liquor which i was very worried would overpower the drink but overall it was very pleasant and a fun presentation. I was worried the entire time that the box would leak but it never did so they clearly know what they're doing. The second drink though was the pistachio martini mudslide and while the flavor was good and the glass was cool they filled it to the top with ice cubes despite literally writing on the menu that it was blended. The ice cubes in my opinion ruined the drink experience, and thats coming from someone who loves ice. For food the waffle donut sando was delicious!! The mochi waffle donuts mixed with the mango habanero hot sauce and the perfectly cooked chicken was the perfect balance of sweet spicy and savory. The chocolate raspberry tart on the other hand was pulled straight from the freezer i think because it was really hard to cut and bite into, especially the bottom cookie crust layer. The flavor was good but then again chocolate raspberry is usually a good flavor. Overall a very unique experience that I would definetly come back for. Tldr: recommendations would be stay at the bar area for light, order drinks that you want ice in because you're gonna get it, and stick to hot food because the waffles are amazing.

    Nothing like a good speakeasy - and this place is great. Nice dark atmosphere, friendly bar tenders, surprisingly good food, and of course lots of creative cocktails. Great place to pop in after dinner in the area or to go with a group of friends to hang out. I've only been there late (bonus! one of the only places that stays open after 10pm in the area) but we never had a problem finding seats - even tho they maintain a steady flow of customers. With so many hard hitting cocktails I'm sure we'll be back to check them out again soon.

    Pistachio mudslide and I don't remember what was in the take out box but it was SO good!
    Katie F.

    Tried the new menu for the new year- exactly as the menu said, trashy classics made fancy and delicious! The pistachio was our favorite the kimchi nachos were so tasty. It felt very "speakeasy" with the decor and lighting. The bartenders were very helpful making suggestions and perfect beverages

    This is such a unique cocktail bar! Great place to sit and chat with friends either at a table or bar. They do take reservations and I recommend that for weekend nights as there aren't many tables and it can get busy here. The hostess was a bit standoff-ish but she may have just been overwhelmed by the busy night. We got a small table for the first round of drinks, but had to move to the bar because our table was reserved for a reservation at the time. I love their cocktail menu, a tarot card deck with specialty drinks. My friend loves how intricate their cocktails are. I think I'm into simple drinks, but I'm always interested in trying something new. My first drink, The Fool, had me intrigued by the miracle berry to alter the taste, but I was disappointed to find that it didn't make the drink taste any sweeter for me. I would like to add that my friend had The Fool a while back and said the berry worked for her. We waited for 3 seats at the bar for about 20 minutes. The next drink I ordered was The Star, which I loved the smoky flavor of! The bartender was very nice and attentive. I've had their sweet potato bowl when I was here a while back and haven't stopped thinking about it so I hope they bring that back! Otherwise, I'll try the spicy tuna bowl if I come here hungry.

    Sapphire Isles - fantastic!!!

    I've been coming here for a long time. Conspiracy is the best cocktail bar in the area. I've never ordered a drink I didn't like. They put so much creativity into each recipe. The menu is fabulous, but you can order off of it as well. Tonight I asked the bartender to make me something with Empress gin, and he made an awesome version of a French 75. The drinks are strong too. The atmosphere is very cool. I can't recommend Conspiracy highly enough!!

I simply cannot imagine ordering anything other than their Curry Ramen bowl from this point forward. Like one would legitimately be insane not to get it, provided you are an average fan of standard Thai-style curries like Red, Panang, or even Las Vegas style Three-color (Red+Green+Yellow). My suggested mod: Ask for your home-crafted noodles a little extra "QQ" or chewy al dente. And ask for a side of their home-made chili oil to step up the Szechuan influence. Normally I shun the fusion or "new-style" menu items, but this Curry Ramen bowl is stuff of dreams. Perfectly executed, temperature hot, unforgettably umami, and the exact drinkable curry broth viscosity that is no accident. This bowl is a champion, folks!

The space itself is clean and modern. I appreciated being able to see the kitchen area and the bar setup; everything looked organized and well run. The booth seating was comfortable, and overall it felt like a great spot for a casual lunch or relaxed dinner. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

We came on a Friday evening and it was full but they were able to find us a table quickly. Inside, the place has a very casual feel and I honestly wasn't sure what we were going to get when we ordered. Just to say, looks were deceiving, but in a good way! The food was at a different (better) level than the ambience in the room. Basically, don't worry about how the place looks - you will love the food. Our waitress was sooo nice and friendly. We got our drinks quickly and ordered right away. Though we came for sushi, we were all mesmerized by the entree options and opted to try the bento boxes. I'm used to small bento boxes with tightly portioned foods and the "basics." What we got surprised us all. These bento boxes were actually huge plates of food. A full order of vegetable tempura, a whole California roll, entree, soup and gyoza. We barely made it through a quarter of it! And it was delicious! I got the chicken teriyaki and the chicken was so tender. The tempura was fried perfectly and the gyoza had a great flavor. All in all, I recommend you try this place out! Is it a fancy date night place? No. Is it a super casual date night place? Yes! Try the bento - you won't be disappointed! 4/5 stars only because they should spruce up the inside to match their amazing food!

We…read morestopped into a new ramen shop near my alma mater, and I've got to say: where was this twenty years ago? (I know where. The strip mall that was here was either condemned or nonexistent. I forget which.) Being CCSU s spring break, there wasn't much going on. That is, we saw a few pickups and DoorDash orders, but we had the full restaurant to ourselves. The waitress was quick, but the to-go orders left us waiting (totally normal, not a complaint.) First, the good: the ramen is a sizable portion. You can tell it's all made from scratch. It's not the saltiest thing you'll ever eat. The spicy is actually spicy, if you mix in all the chili paste they leave resting on the fish cake. I grabbed my chopsticks and dug in, and I was glad I got the $3.50 milk tea on the side (you get it for cheap with a bowl), though I found it very sweet. The pork in my ramen was crispy on the sliver of crust, and the rest was cooked to perfection. Many other places can do it like that, but if they'd messed that up, they'd lose some points. The bad is a very short list. Our ramen had vermicelli or angel hair instead of, you know, ramen noodles. Maybe that's their thing? All in all, a soup place next to the up-the-hill dorms is just what I needed decades ago. I'm rarely up that way these days, but I'd totally stop here even in the summer.

Driving into the plaza...the sidewalk is a bit lifted from the road, so expect it to be a bit bumpy coming in and out of the lot. Walking inside it was a cutely decorated shop with Anime themed wall art. There was a good amount of seating in this small shop as well. We sat down and ordered the iron man roll, so ramen roll, house ramen and Shabu Shabu beef ramen. It took about 20-39 mins for the food to come out but I believe there is just one cook working. The rolls were delicious and I really like their So Ramen roll. It was creamy and crunchy. My house ramen was also really good and I enjoyed it. My fiancé thought his ramen was a bit bland. But that might just be his opinion on ramen overall. Each item runs about $14 to $20 each. So a meal for 2 can run you about at minimum $40. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would come back.
