A 5-star private social club in the Platinum Clubs of America, it is situated on Whitney Avenue near the Yale University campus, and two blocks from Ingalls Rink and State Street (home to Modern Apizza, our favorite in the Pizza Capital of the World). The New Haven Lawn Club offers five comfortable, spacious overnight guest rooms and one suite, a main dining room seating 200, and a grand ballroom seating 300 that was being used for a wedding reception the night we stayed there. The fitness center and four squash courts are open 24x7. Outdoors, there is a pool, toddler pool, eight Hart-tru tennis courts, two paddle courts and a playground. Guests enjoy free parking and wifi. We enjoyed pre-game cocktails in the bar off the Grill Room, accommodating 100, where lunch and dinner are served Wednesday-Saturday, and where seasonal Sunday brunch and supper are available. A unique feature of the club is art exhibits hung in the rotunda outside the Grill Room. Rebuilt in 1931 after a fire destroyed the original two years earlier, the clubhouse was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It also is designated A New Haven Landmark by the New Haven Preservation Trust.

One must purchase tickets for beer and food, all at a reasonable cost. German beer and food! The area was set up like a traditional beer tent, with long tables...some benches and some chairs. There was a 2 person band playing traditional German music and beyond, with some interspersed audience participation events. So much fun! We ate and drank well, met and spoke with many people, and just loved the experience. They have many events throughout the year so be sure to check them out.

Blink and you can miss your order! My hot dog and potato pancake with applesauce was divine. My husband loved his plate as well. We got desserts too. I got a piece of lemon cake. My husband was thrilled to see there was a slice of German bee sting cake. We loved hearing local music and enjoying the sunshine without humidity as we ate at their outdoor picnic tables. It's a great family event

The tight, cluttered,dirty area in the middle for textiles,sewing etc is cluttered,hazardous,incredibly dirty and even a fire hazard. There is stuff everywhere. 2 knitting machines that are used infrequently. Textiles and fabrics getting dusty and dirty from dust and dirt. The place is for machines. Really sewing and textiles should have their own space. There must be a room available. I love to cook but would nvr use their kitchen, it is filthy! Everything should be covered in plastic and regularly cleaned. 2 entrances which is very dirty,not food safe!

The drink prices are more than reasonable averaging $2.50 -$4.00 for domestic drafts and the range for hard alcohol is not that extensive, but it fits the bill for what the place is -- A beer and shot place. It is a place where men go to watch the games, or gripe about work, or talk about the news of the day. It is as close to a brotherhood that any one can get and I have made many friends there. Note: This is a private men's club and entry is subject to voting in by the current members. Non-members have to sign if for the first two visits at which point they have to decide if they want to join or give up entry.
