My fiancée came here to play bingo with some friends of hers a while back and said that I needed to try out their wings, so here we are and I'm going to tell you how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Lots of people are afraid of dive bars for some reason. I don't know if it's because of the stuff they see in movies or what, but they're some of the best places to come! Everyone is friendly, no one is judgmental, folks just kinda mesh together! There is a private parking lot out front as this place is literally located next to Jerry's Pizza. I'm assuming they're owned by the same folks. Once inside you'll see the bar to the right, dining to the left then the pool tables and bathrooms all the way in the back. There's a TouchTunes digital jukebox here so you can play whatever kind of music you want loudly throughout the restaurant. Lol. Service: It seemed as if 1 to 2 lovely ladies were running the bar and the whole restaurant by themselves. They were doing an excellent job making sure we were all taken care of and I was quite impressed. Food: I came for the WWWIIINNNGGGSSS. We tried the Mango Habanero, Sweet Thai Chili and Thai Peanut Butter & Jelly. They were all just okay. I don't like breading on my wings. It just adds carbs and makes the wings "look" bigger. Like stuffing a bra... you feel me? Out of the 3, I think the Mango Habanero would've been my favorite, but overall I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for wings. Sorry. :-/ Value: I can't recall how much wings were, but they weren't expensive at all. You won't break the bank eating here, no matter what you get. In conclusion... this place is cool. I wouldn't get the wings here again, but I'd certainly be willing to try other things on the menu for sure. read more

Great little sports bar with great specials! How can you beat $2 beers and 40 cent wings?? Highly recommend the peanut butter and jelly wings, sounds weird but they are quite tasty!! It is our mission to try all of the wing flavors. It's a great local bar on the south side of town, where there are not as many bars and restaurants. Good place to watch sports or to grab a drink or a bite to eat. read more

Maddy's Next Door Sports Bar is a great after work meeting place. I also love the pizza and many other appetizers from Jerry's Pizza right next-door. The wait staff will bring your orders to your bar table. Maddy's offers an ever changing (which I like) tap list of macro-brews & local micro-brews. They offer a nice down to earth neighborhood appeal away from the Main Street Hubbub. read more

Matty's Next Door - Happy Post-St Matty's Day! - Pizza Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Came here to watch the game on a Saturday night, Live rock music made me feel alright. Good beer selection for a good price. A local dive bar that is pretty darn nice. I'm happy I live about 300 yards from this place. They have TVs in every corner of the place. Great place to watch football. I am a home brewer so beer selection is very important to me. They have about 20 brews on tap and more in bottles. Good selection. Craft beers were $5 and Miller drafts were $2. The place was packed with people. There was a good cover band playing. Yelp hooked me up with a free domestic draft upon buying a slice of Pizza for $2.50. The pizza came from the Italian restaurant next door which has common ownership. Plenty of parking and seating. Hooray, Middletown! read more

Matty's wings are SO good! We had the blueberry ones and the thai chili ones, and they were both great. Lots of good beer to pick from. The staff was great as well, and BINGO was a hit. Highly recommend!! read more

WOW!!! What a great place for adults go to feel comfortable . Always people your age... 21-99. Staff was amazing. We felt it was similar to Cheers. "Everyone knows your name." Just after one visit. Food is amazing. Healthy or Not. They have it. Another WOW factor is the WINGS 32 + flavor available. MEATY, MEATY AND MEATY. Salt and Vinegar is a must try. Perfect afternoon lunch for ma and da with kiddies. You can watch the game grab a beer and pizza. Life is good. !!! Love that place. read more

Went here for a drink after work with a colleague. Honestly as a younger woman of color I felt pretty uncomfortable - I can't pinpoint why but I think other WOC understand what I'm talking about. It was not like Cheers. The drink was okay, not fantastic. And the service was okay, not fantastic. read more

Stopped in to Matty's one night with friends and had a great time here. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, drinks were cold and the DJ was great! We only stayed a short time before we had to meet another friend down the road but it was a pleasant experience. We did not get food there so I cannot say how the food is. read more

Sitting here at the end of the bar with Matty discussing his new venture and all appears well. Excellent selection of of on tap beers and the menu is Jerry's classic Italian fare. Time for another IPA, the Giants game and a meatball grinder. Also happens to be closet bar to my house so looks like this stool should be engraved with my name. read more

Great salads and drinks! The nachos were really good!!! Always enough food to take home. Monday night is fun with RJ the DJ trivia. Won a free round of drinks last week, who doesn't like free?!? read more

Good wings with some good specials on appetizers. Lots of old, drunk white guys having fun there. But not enough people working there to attend to diners. Waiter missed an app we ordered (he didn't write it down), never brought ketchup for our burgers and fries (didn't return to ask), and while I appreciate a mixed drink having its fair share of alcohol it was so strong it was hard to drink. The place is loud and generally friendly. The burgers were "ok" but mine tasted a little weird (might have been the cheese). Pizza might be a better choice here. read more

Great wings , friendly atmosphere , great beers on tap! Must try the peanut butter and jelly wings! read more

Matty's Next Door - Hooker Nor Easter - Pizza Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

It was snowing, the governor put up a driving ban. But as soon as the roads opened back up, this was the first and only place we could find on our way home to stop into and grab a bite to eat after being out in the snow shoveling and plowing all day. Cliental was super friendly and the staff was efficient. Not my typical place to go to, as it is divvy, but good prices and food was great too. Because of this experience I will be back for sure. read more

Perfect for March madness games!!!! Awesome food and drinks to go with any game you wanna see!! read more

Matty's Next Door - Pictures suck. But this place does not!!! - Pizza Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

I've been to Matty's at least 15-20 times. Usually the service, food, and drinks are very good. The last few times I've gone, though, I've gotten pretty bad service from one bartender in particular. The last time was on Sunday, Jan 11 at around 1pm. I don't know her name, and I wouldn't put it on here anyway, but she's very slow (especially if you're sitting at a table). She's not very friendly, and she spends a lot of time talking to other employees or looking at her phone. At one point she even sat at a table with a customer for a few minutes while I was trying to get her attention for a drink. I would have given at least 4 stars if not for this bartender. The other bartender that day (his name starts with M and he has a buzz cut) is awesome. Very fast, very friendly. The food is usually very good, and there's usually some kind of beer special. read more

Best bone-in wings in town! The food and atmosphere is great. Wraps are also amazing. The bartenders are so welcoming and friendly, Kyle and heather are so sweet! Great place to hang out and get some great food read more

The transformation that the owner, Matt, has performed on an old coffee place is incredible. It's comfortable, plenty of room at the bar itself, tables all around, LCD TV's on both sides of the room (I think there are 13 of them), and bring your darts or cue stick too. There's also free WiFi and a state of the art Jukebox that you'll most likely find any of your favorite songs on. The staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and expeditious and oh yeah, Jerry's Pizza's full menu along with an appetizer menu. The beer is flowing and enough choices between "On Tap" and "bottled" to handle everyone's taste. I also enjoy when they have live music or a DJ and Karaoke. It's just a nice neighborhood bar where you can get out, make new friends, see old friends and have a nice time. In my opinion this bar is a great addition to Middletown read more

Food is great. Like the openness of the room. Sports bar with family friendly vibe. My kids love the food here. Been here from the adult point of view as well, nice bar....friendly patrons. read more

Mattys Next Door is great....... depending on who your bartender or server is. Kyle went out of his way to take care of our table of 7. We all wanted drinks and food, but the lady behind the bar wouldn't pay any attention. We all would have had dinner and more, It looked like Kyle picks up her slack. read more

Ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, there's barely any chicken in it. Smothered in creamy sauce that was way too much. Ordered it with sweet potato fries, got regular fries. Cold regular fries. Beer is terrible. Staff is inattentive. They never checked on me after I got my bad "food". Mediocre ambiance. I won't be back. Terrible experience. read more

Mattys is the best sports bar in the area if you are looking for value. 2 bucks for a coors light, you can't beat that. 50 cent wings on Thursdays, the wings are huge I would say they are about 2x the size of sliders and rookies. They also have good grinders and wraps. Service can be hit or miss depending on who the bartender is. They seem to have a good amount of turnover there. Why go spend more and get less at rookies and sliders? I only wish they have more space as there has been a few times where there was not one table or seat at the bar so my wife and I had to leave. I guess that's a good problem to have lol. Also, they need to get some larger tvs for football season. read more

I want to like Matty's so bad. I have given them so many second chances at this point. I'm actually quite upset that there is no option for zero stars. Between having god awful service (after waiting 20-30 minutes with empty glasses having to go up to the bar because our waitress is MIA) to having to wake up at 3:30am to have my body explosively discard my poorly cooked wings, enough is enough. The only thing Matty's has going for them is that Jerry's pizza is next door. read more

Went here a while back for a work function, and I was impressed. Mostly dappled in the appetizers but the wings and garlic bread delicious! Will definitely come back again. read more

This is a very solid bar. They have a ton of beers on tap, a great check-in offer for those with the yelp app, and a partnership with Jerry's pizza next door so you can get amazing food right there at the bar. The bartenders are friendly too. This would be a good place to watch a game read more

New bar in town. Teamed up with Jerry's Pizza next door. Excellent food. Fast friendly bar service.

Seemed the bartender was indifferent to her job. Never around to serve drinks. At one point EVERYONE sitting at the bar had empty pint glasses. Lots of TVs for sports and apps were good, but its all wasted without bar service. read more

Great bar with ok food. Service could be kicked up a notch. Was a full house the other night with one waitress/bartender. Tables were never cleared off and I had to get up and go to the bar to get another drink and my tab. read more

My girlfriend and I visited today to watch some football and have some food, we have been here before and had decent service. however today was another story. the service absolutely sucked !!!!! It took forever to get our food and had to literally beg for service to get a beer. Our waitress and other staff either walked by us ignoring us and looked the other way. I had to go to the bar to ask the bartender for our bill... I couldn't even get our bill.... in the meantime the lazy ass owner sat there and drank beer and ate. I sat for about a half hour with an empty beer glass are you freaking kidding me !!!! Tom Baude read more

Great place for wings, alot of their food is actually pretty good. The staff was very good and attentive, it ended being packed on a Saturday night. I met a bunch of very cool & friendly people there read more

I have four stars due to the service. The bartender was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, they did not have any hard cider and the wings were breaded. I am gluten free and ended up just grabbing a cocktail and leaving. I hope the owners see this post and add some gluten free options. read more

Went to Mattys next door for the first time with a friend. We ordered the salt and vinegar wings. Here's the review * Crispy- wings were crispy throughout. Does not need any dressing whatsoever.. *Presentation- 8 meaty wings with perfectly cooked moist interior. Plate also had a few celery sticks with blue cheese and ranch dressing. Recommend eating dry. Slight negative no carrot sticks. Flavor- The salt and vinegar wings exploded with flavor in your mouth and left me wanting more like a high end Lady of the night..lol Chef- Took pride in wings, came out and asked if wings were up to par.. Server- Super friendly and knowledgeable about domestic beers. read more

I called at 11:30 on a Saturday to see if they were still open, the girl responded "we're still here", so not knowing what that meant exactly I asked OK what time the kitchen. Closer, she responded its open. Not trying to be a dick and order something 30 mins before they closed I said OK thank you and she hang up on me. read more

I love this place and visit often. Matty's is a family-run, comfortable sports bar with interesting food, because it happens to be an extension of my favorite pizza house. Plenty of TV's to enjoy with a very friendly, diverse, and attitude-free clientele. My favorite wings of all time are here, Honey Sriracha and Bourbon BBQ. The meaty wings are available to order by the tray for bring to parties, a big hit every time I've brought them. Check the specials board! Lunch and dinner specials are often innovative dishes rarely found anywhere else. Carmela, one of the owners of Jerry's Pizza, Matty's, and Carmela's on the Extension, really goes out of her way to create new and exciting specials, including house-made soups and interesting salads. read more

I love it here! Tons of beer choices, great wings and you can't beat the pizza. The fried pickles and buffalo raviolis are also a personal favorite, along with the fresh mozz salad. I recommend having Gina make you a pistachio shot next time you're at the bar! Carmela and Matt, the owners, are always around and attentive! Make sure you come on a Saturday to get great deals on shots, well drinks and domestic beer. The DJ Matt has had lately is a lot of fun too. read more

Stopped in for a meatball grinder and a couple cold ones. Food was above average, staff very friendly, accommodating and welcoming, and beer was cold and cheap! I wouldn't go too far out of my way to get here, but if you're looking for a friendly local place with good food and booze at very reasonable prices, this is it! read more

My husband and I have been long searching for a little sports bar/hang out since we moved to Middletown. We have DEFINITELY found it!!! We have had exceptional service (Gina and Carissa are the BEST) and the wings are EXCELLENT.Matt(the owner) is always present and takes tremendous pride in his establishment. Lots of TVs to watch various games and entertaining bands with a variety of music. Great atmosphere, exceptional service and fantastic food...what more could you ask for!!! read more

This is my first time here the place is a little dark but not bad I'm sure If the ac was working I would have stayed longer. I had wings Thai peanut butter wings they are big but a little dry and buffalo ravioli they were a little over cooked we also had a bacon blu cheese burger I ordered it medium and got it well bun wasn't toasted the sweet potato fries were the best part of my meal I will be back to give them another try read more

was in there bar on friday night i was with a party of about 35 people for a birthday when we got there the owner told us as long as we work with him we would have a good time because he was short staffed told him its not a problem we planed on being there a while well most of the night went ok besides the lack of drinks be served and the long wait for food some of are guest waited over 2 hours for apps and blammed that on the 1 grinder and 2 burgers we order and 4 slices of pizza at the end of the night i went to pay my bill when i paid it i told them i would be covering my brothers tab on my bill first name russell same last name as me as well and i also told her what we ordered just so no mixs ups well when she gave me the bill i was pretty drunk being my birthday and all so i didnt really looked at the slip i just trusted the bar tender well big mistake she charged me another person tab and when i told the owner of the situation he told me that it was my fault never refuned me the 1st charge and then took my payment for what we did order and never refunded me the money from the first charge and also threaten to kick my ass let face it i could of started a fight but i decided not to being that i am legal to carry in ct and didnt need no problems so i didnt push it i just laughed at him because him being a business owner you would think he have some customer service skills and some respect for someone who just got 35 people to walk in his door long story short i never got the money that was over charged straighten out and when we called the next day he just blamed it on the fact we where ordering so much well why give menus if you cant handle what where ordering dont get me wrong it looked like a episode out of bar rescue where the owner was sitting on his ass the whole night and the bar was swamp and john t shut it down well that what he needs is bar rescue he sat down most of the night and when stuff fell apart he couldnt handle it some people dont belong in a stressful business and he is one of them also the bar tender behind the bar who ran my tab for wrong bill could have just said sorry and refunded it but instead started fighting with me ill never go back there and i will no longer let them advertize for my company i dont want my customers think that we treat are customers the way the treated us i wish jerry never allowed this cause i used to be a regular there as well and i will not go there now as well and they just opened another place on east main i will not be going there as well in my line of work customers are always #1 and we do anything for them well i hope that 65.00 extra was worth the advertizing we where doing with you good luck as long as matt has anything to do with any of these companys i will sit back and wait for him to fold cause it will be a matter of time till he does put his hands on someone and the sue him for everything he got or i should say everything his wife and her father have read more
