A group of us walked in, and before asking about our IDs, the bartender notices the can in our friend's hand. The bar was loud and he clearly has a mumbling problem or something, but he said something along the lines of "no outside food or drink, you need to leave." The rest of us waited while our friend quickly apologized and stepped outside to get rid of it. I guess he had already made up his mind about not serving us because the closest thing to asking what we wanted to drink was a dirty look from across the bar. Our friend stepped back in, and he muttered something that none of us caught. When asked to repeat himself, we were met with an attitude and he told our friend to leave. Trying to clarify, one of us asked if he was really getting kicked out over a mistake. In response, we were told that our friend was stupid, hard of hearing, and banned from the bar. Obviously, we weren't going to stay without him, especially with a rancid attitude like that, so we shrugged it off and left. The bartenders response? "Oh noooo, we're losing customers," in a shitty little mocking tone. I'm sure the other bartenders are fine, but this guy needs to find a different career. At no point we're we loud, rude, or trying to start anything. Just a stupid mistake and genuine questions met with nothing but bitter, middle-aged animosity. Try any of the other bars within walking distance. Edit: After reading some of the other reviews, probably about the same guy, I guess it's relevant that two of us were brown and the guy he kicked out was Polish.

The stage is a pretty decent size, I'm intrigued to come back another night and see the vibes. There's a parking lot right next to the Crown St entrance which is convenient.

Thank you!

I loved the framed posters on the wall from previous local events and the mural near the stage. I could've seen 21 year old Lanasha living it up in her punk era at this place. Service was okay. I got a tequila club which was only $4 during happy hour, woo! There is a $20 card minimum which I wish I had seen before ordering. They offer infused shots as well, definitely fun! I saw cucumber vodka, pineapple rum, and jalapeño tequila. Good spot for a quick drink. I'd be interested to visit when they've got a band in.

Buttttt the place was dirty as in tons of gross unbussed tables and drinks everywhere - it was literally the bartender solo or so I thought but later saw that a big guy playing games also actually worked there but was not "working" shall we say, too bad because the drink I had was good (margarita) and the games made for a fun time.

Most of the games are kind of old, a bit of a weird and grungy vibe . Music very low and constant button mashing. We came for games but decided to just hang out , outside. Tables were old and hard to have a drink at considering the giant slits. the bartender was kind though, so that was nice. Got corn fritters that were very good and easy to share between two.

We tried 3 different wing flavors: buffalo, cajun dry rub, and garlic parm. Overall, the wings were somewhat disappointing - the meat was a bit dry (still decent for the price though). The buffalo flavor was my favorite as it helped balance out the dryness out and it had a nice kick. The garlic parm and cajun dry rub were on the saltier side but nice with the blue cheese and ranch on the side which helped to mellow these out. The star of the show was their Bar Burger - perfectly cooked, juicy and topped with BBQ sauce, grilled onions, bacon, and cheddar cheese. The portion of fries was generous too. Though they do offer a large variety of food on their menu, their burgers. in particular are delicious. Drinks were great, service was attentive and quick, and the atmosphere was laidback. Overall, a solid option for grabbing a draft or a late night bite!

The bartenders are always super quick and friendly, which makes a huge difference. The main bar has that perfect "Cheers" pub lighting and vibe where you just feel comfortable immediately.

It's become a total safe haven for me and my friends to meet up, grab some drinks, and just have a great time. Since there aren't many options for gay bars around here, this is easily my favorite spot in Connecticut!
