For this review I want to focus on their TACO TUESDAY…read more I have to say I'm never disappointed. We don't come here often enough but when we do we are always happy we did. We sat at the bar and specifically came by for their tacos. How can you go wrong when they have them at 2 for $5!!! And yes all delicious; packed to the rim and all the fixings plus sour cream on the side. We got plenty. We got happy Amanda B, The bartender was there. She is always so nice and pleasant. She knows her stuff and no matter how packed the place was, always comes by to check on you. The place was packed to my surprise. Bathrooms were All clean and bar was kept clean despite so many people coming and going.

This place has bartenders that over charge. My friend and I bought each other drinks him a round me…read morea round. Total of 4 shots. After he left I had one more. When my friend left we noticed she charged him for all 4 shots. I was going to say something then but he said its ok he will pay for it. Left me his receipt just in case she charged me for them too. Which as we both felt was going to happen. Sure as the sky is blue she charged me for 3 drinks instead of 1. I showed her and she immediately got defensive call some lady that was worse cursed me out on the phone. I finally said whatever I will dispute the charge as I did not sign the slip. So if it is signed she then forged my signature. I ordered my uber and went to the bathroom. Then one of her friends came in and tried to talk to me. I told her friend that I am not in the business of having a convo with some random lady while sitting on the toilet. That pissed her off and then pissed the bartender of so much she called the police. I was leaving anyway. I waited for my Uber and left. Below is a picture of the bartender. Their funnel fries were great

Came here on a Saturday with a large group around 11:30. They were able to seat us immediately and…read morelet us know with a larger group it would be a little longer of a wait. They brought out complimentary popcorn which was delicious. Service was good. I felt a little bad for our waitress because she seemed a little stressed with a larger group but she did a great job. She was able to do individual checks for everyone which was very nice. The menu has a variety of regular bar food. I just ordered the French onion soup and thought it was good. Very cheesy and warm. Wish the broth had a little more flavor. The food did take a decent amount of time to come out about 45 minutes. Overall nice they were able to accommodate all of us.

Gatehouse Tavern [GT]. (2 stars)…read more "Stuffed clams (or stuffies) are popular in New England and consist of a breadcrumb and minced clam mixture that is baked on the half shell of a quahog hard shell clam.[1][2][3][4] Other ingredients typically found in the basic breadcrumb mixture are: meat such as sausage, bacon or chouriço (Portuguese sausage), chili pepper, lemon juice, bell peppers, celery, onion, garlic, spices and herbs. There are many different recipes for stuffed clams; many restaurants in New England have their own variety, as do many home cooks." - Wikipedia "Stuffies - $2.50" The sign caught my eye. I asked myself, "Self, what the heck are stuffies?!" I walked up to the cashier and asked her. She said it's a stuffed clam. Ahhh... In all the years I have been up to New England I never heard of "stuffies" before. Perhaps it could be in part to the fact that I usually frequent seafood restaurants vice watering holes when I am here... As I perused the menu I also saw a pastrami sandwich so I decided to eat here. I ordered the following: -Stuffies -Pastrami Sandwich Stuffies. (1.5 stars). Somehow I imagined this stuffed clam to have some texture & seasoning but not an overkill of salt & onions??!! The stuffing was extremely mushy & unpleasant to eat. I took one bite & didn't finish the rest of it. There were a few minuscule pieces of clam meat chopped up in the stuffing mixture but it was tough to even discern any real clam flavor. I'm sure the locals probably go crazy over GT's stuffies but I just am not a fan... Pastrami (Reuben) Sandwich. (2.5 stars). GT's pastrami sandwich is different from most places I have eaten at because they cook their pastrami slices on a flat top grill. The pastrami had a nice seasoning but some of the sides were a little too burnt for my liking. Instead of the usual 1000 island (yuck) I requested spicy brown mustard & while it was a bit messy to eat, definitely hit the spot on a cold day. The sauerkraut was nice & crunchy which I appreciated. The "rye" bread was quite soft & fell apart before I could take a bite into the sandwich. The rye bread tasted like sourdough bread... --- All in all, GT is a quaint little water hole that is located right across the street from EB (Electric Boat). In its heyday, GT & Elfie's used to be THE places to go for EB employees during lunch. Most of the other establishments in this area (including Elfie's) is now closed due to the fact that EB now has a "cafeteria" on their premise. The owner/bartender is extremely friendly & social which made me feel at ease. Parking is wherever u find it. Street parking is about 1 block away in the residential area. But the good thing is, if u find a stall, it's free!

We stopped in last Friday on our trip up to see one of our kids…read more When we arrived it wasn't busy, as we came after the lunch crowd but before the dinner one. Food was good, not a fan of the cheese plate, but my husband loved it. Everyone's meal was really good we all enjoyed it, our waitress serving us was fantastic. We had to do a quick in and out as we were running late to meet our other kid. Recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

One sample that was not requested and one sample 3/4 of an inch and a 2 ounce glass. I know it sounds trivial, but seven dollars is seven dollars. Another bartender listen to us explain that and took it off of our bill. Make sure you check your receipts.

I did also try some of the siracha wings. They definitely have a kick to them and I generally like spice. There was plenty of seating outdoors and indoors.
