The bartenders were super friendly and made sure to keep up with the demands of our venue. The food and drinks were top-notch. We were served some finger food, and the meat balls were to die for. The drinks had interesting twists to classic drinks and left me wanting more. If you like mystery and enter a secret hidden bar for the elite just like in the movies, this location will make you feel like that with its setup.

Their drinks are pretty cheap, especially the 2/$5 Jell-O shots. They didn't seem to have any flavors except watermelon, which was fine.

Just note that you will have to go up the stairs in order to get in.

Upon going to enter the Pig's Eye Pub on 4/17/2026 at approximately 11:00 p.m., Eric Drouin, who…read morewas stationed at the door, indicated to me that I was not allowed to bring my service dog in the establishment. I informed you that because my dog is a service animal, she is permitted under ADA to accompany me in all public places. Charlie Brown, who was also at the door, then asked me the appropriate questions allowed under ADA, and after I responded, allowed me to enter the establishment with my service dog. However, after maybe 30 minutes, Mr. Brown approached me and asked that I leave the premises and return without my service dog. I declined this request since my service dog was not misbehaving in any way, barking incessantly or at all, and not being disruptive to any other patrons. After about another 30 minutes, Mr. Drouin approached me with Mr. Brown and demanded that I leave because according to him my dog was too young to be a service animal and therefore must be in training, and I was being disruptive by talking to patrons who asked me about my dog. I informed Mr. Drouin he was incorrect, that my service dog is fully trained to provide the service for which she is required, and the law does not prohibit me from interacting with patrons who approach me about my dog. He and Mr. Brown still demanded that I leave. I was with a group of five other people who all witnessed all of these exchanges. We all departed the establishment at that time. I have filed an official complaint #758150-TWD with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division for this violation of 28 CFR Sec. 36.302(c). This violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act can result in civil penalties up to $75,000 for a first offense and $150,000 for a subsequent offense. Despite me informing these ignorant and insolent employees of this, they still demanded that I leave. I will also be filing a complaint with the State of Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities for this violation of CT General Statutes Sec. 46a-44 & 46a-64, which is a class C misdemeanor, which Mr. Drouin and Mr. Brown will be individually charged. I will also be contacting Mr. James Verano, the listed Principal for Pig's Eye Pub, and Mr. William (Bill) Morrissey, the listed Managing Member regarding these federal and state violations. I will also have my personal attorney contact Reid and Riege, PC, the listed agent for Pig's Eye Pub. Being denied service while accompanied by a service animal is illegal, humiliating, and emotionally draining experience that no one should have to endure. What these imbecilic employees did was not only illegal but morally reprehensible.

The tacos were excellent, very flavorful and fresh, and very filling/ample meat portions. The double taco-shell helps hold it all together. Wednesday was the perfect day for a peaceful visit before the rain storm. Happy hour menus attached for reference! Every visit, the staff is perfectly welcoming and knowledgeable, and the food surprises my taste as a former picky eater. I would be excited to get tacos again, or try something new.

Came here after going to bingo Loco to finish my celebratory birthday…read more We walked in within an hour of closing, so we were given last call. We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor. I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance. And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots! We ended up taking the sour cherry vodka, which is one of my favorites We were unable to get food as the kitchen was closed, but we will have to try next time

Awesome! Our server Jeremy was professional and efficient. We got a couple coffees to start with to try to get us over the coast-to-coast time difference and also to warm up (it had been a brisk windy 48 degrees all morning!) Then we ordered a Farmer's salad with blackened chicken and the Bangers and mash. The food came out maybe 25-30 minutes later, oh and worth the wait! Because the blackened chicken was piping hot, I wish it had been slightly to the side of the spring mix lettuce so that the salad would be a bit crisper but the flavors were wonderful. It came with a balsamic vinaigrette. My husband's Bangers and Mash included garlicky mashed potatoes, a rich thick mushroom gravy, and flavorful sausages, all on a bed of vegetables. Mmm super satisfying. Cozy welcoming ambience. Reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food I think.

First time at Parkville Market and The Local and have to say I am beyond impressed!…read more The Local has something for everyone. The ambiance here is so cool- I love the decor and set up. Our bartender was super nice too! I ordered their cucumber cocktail and thought it was perfect! It was a warm day and this drink definitely gave off summer vibes. Very light and refreshing and made with quality ingredients! You can even ask to have your cocktail in a plastic cup so you can walk through Parkville Market. I opted to do this just because I've never been here before but I would totally come back to chill at The Local next time! I can definitely see coming here on the regular! Can't wait to try their other specialty cocktails!

I really liked my margarita and the interestingly colored salsa. The atmosphere is great. I know that this space was previously an American-type restaurant, they did a nice job with the décor that is still being used. Not much of a Mexican vibe. Now for the negatives. The entrance was confusing--there was no real sign, or at least none that I noticed. My husband said the name was written on a piece of paper. Weird, but okay. The outdoor seating area was also seemed to be under construction, so maybe that will improve the overall experience once it's completed. Again, weird. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best and quite expensive for what you get. There were a couple of pescatarian options, but nothing that really jumped out at me. Overall, I got the impression that this may be more of an after-hours hangout for locals than a place focused on food. If they finish the outdoor area and make a few improvements, I'd be willing to give it another try, but for now, I'm just not sure about this place.

Ambiance - has potential to be a cool place, but for me if the food is terrible, not the place to go when there are so many options in West Hartford Center. Here's hoping that they step up the food.

We went on a Saturday night around 9, and since it's winter, the rooftop was enclosed, which was actually done pretty well. The setup was nice and they had a DJ playing old school hits, which I loved it definitely helped the vibe. That said, it wasn't very busy, but somehow the bartenders still took forever to serve us. The drinks were pretty mid, nothing special or memorable. I do like the area, and I'd probably come back in the summer just to experience the rooftop when it's fully open, but overall it's not really anything to write home about.

Great patio for summer relaxing out on a rooftop (3 floors up) bar lounge. Staff: friendly but not very attentive and when I was there it was maybe 10 people in the entire place. Seemed like they were more interested in talking amongst themselves. Food: menu and presentation are more aligned with a bar menu and plating rather than an upscale restaurant Overall: would definitely go for drinks one evening but I'd eat first unless you want bar munchies. They also have a different name on the wall for inside seating but it's the same menu the hostess said.
