Cute eatery with Froth coffee shop, a bar, a Pizza spot, Foul play chicken and a Mexican place. There are plenty of seats around the restaurants and a comfy spot in front of the store with couches and a chess board We stopped at Froth for the Hartford Coffee Crawl read more

My partner and I both went to Burrito Loko and ordered the birria tacos, which (as anyone who's had them knows) require napkins. After finishing, I went to the counter and asked for a few napkins. I was handed two. When I asked for a few more, I was flatly told "No." For context: the restaurant had only two customers at the time, it was near closing, staff were already cleaning up, and there was a full stack of napkins visible at the counter. This wasn't a supply shortage or a busy rush -- it was bare minimum honestly. I'll let others draw their own conclusions, but as a Black customer being told "no" to a basic napkin request under those circumstances left a bad taste. Won't be back. read more

A really cool place to visit. They have a few different restaurants to include a chicken place , Mexican, pizza and a coffee shop. Also have a full size bar and a pool table in the back. Establishment is clean and staff is friendly. read more

The Assembly Room - Food Court Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

Fun mix of different foods including Slice pizza, Fowl Play, Froth Cafe, Las Tortas MX, Burrito Loko. We tried the Las Tortas and the Froth on this visit, very good latte and quesadilla. The Las Tortas appears to be a smaller menu than their other location but still good food options. The Froth have a few breakfast options, breakfast sandwiches are already made and kept warm and it looks like they have a few bakery options. Slice had lots of by the slice options to buy as well. There was a pretty good amount of seating , only a few people eating there when we went. Fowl play have had at other locations and their spicy chicken/ waffles is very good and offer varying levels of spice. Parking nearby is metered/garage, though we went on a Sunday when it was free. Staff was friendly and setup looked very new/nice. read more

The Assembly Room is New Britain's first food hall. This is located in downtown New Britain. Parking can be found at various garages. We happened to find this place by chance because we were at the Celebrate New Britain event. The interior was spacious, clean, and inviting. There were plenty of seating, tables, and couches. A pool table is available for use. The service, collectively, was great. First, we got coffee at Froth Cafe. Then we imbibed on some drinks at The Bar. If you're hungry, they have a few vendors serving up some delicious food: Loko Burrito: delicious Mexican fare Las Tortas MX: also delicious Mexican fare Fowl Play: fried chicken spot. I've had food from their Parkville location and it was delicious. Event space is also available to rent; $375 room minimum (not including food and drinks.) All in all, it's a fun place to eat, drink, and hangout. read more

Decided to pop in as we were at Alvirium and they gave us a card to check out assembly room. I love when places do this as it supports other small businesses. We went to the bar first, grabbed a few drinks, ordered one of each tamale to split, they were amazing. We walked down the hall and decided to load up on a little of everything Nachos, chicken sandwich, tacos, street corn. Everything was good, my only complaint is I hate eating out of to go containers but I get it. It's a cool spot with multiple options it's like an elevated food court read more

"Working the assembly line Just gettin' by with a little bit of overtime" (Johnny Cash) Visiting the Assembly Room was a real unexpected pleasure. It's a food court or a food hall that either has 4 or 6 vendors inside, depending if you count the Torta-Fowl Play-Burrito Loko counter as one place or three. When you enter the premises you'll see a gorgeous bar that looks like it was transported from the Park Plaza in Boston - seriously, it is beautiful. On the other side of the bar is a nice coffee shop and bakery. Walk down to the back of the space and you'll pass The Industrial Kitchen - a Salvadoran food stand on your right. Keep walking and you'll hit the big counter where those three businesses share space. I had wanted to go to the Industrial Kitchen, but when I walked there the place was unattended and I couldn't even tell if they were open or closed. Instead, we walked down to Burrito Loko for a quesadilla and tacos. The Assembly Room has plenty of space to hang out, and I saw folks chilling at the coffee bar, working on their laptops, playing pool, or having a few mid-day pops at the bar. It was a great use of New Britain's urban space. read more

I love the variety of businesses under one roof. The most aesthetically pleasing place in downtown New Britain. You can start your day with a nice pastry and delicious coffee from Froth , grab lunch from Fowl Play and enjoy a nice drink for dinner from Industrial with a slice of pizza from Slice. Very nice service and relaxing atmosphere. read more

This was not as expected. It's very nicely decorated but we expected to see more food choices. There was a taco place, pizza and a bar. That's it. The coffee place was closed, but ok it's coffee. The chicken place we wanted to try, I don't think was open or not there anymore. Location isn't the best either. Not a lot of street parking, which should have been a flag cuz we easily found a spot. Sorry not going back. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 6pm and it was surprisingly empty. We were able to find 5 seats at the bar and ordered a few rounds of drinks. While the drinks were good, they were pricey. We ordered charcuterie, which initially came out with the wrong cheese. It was good overall, but small portions considering the price. For my dinner, I ordered the steak panini. By the time it came out, everyone I was with was done eating their food. Apparently the printer was out of ink and the kitchen never received my order. Once the panini came out, it was pretty disappointing. It wasn't really a panini, more like a sandwich on lightly toasted bread. The flavor was okay, and the piece of steak was very tiny. Cute place and it has potential, but based on my experience I probably wouldn't visit again. read more

Great concept with a bar and food vendors. The bar is great- happy hour is a good chance to get their fancy drinks at a lower price. The coffee place is very good. I love the open concept and the feeling of socializing within a space. It's cool- check it out read more

Was told by a police officer that this is one of the best, safest places in New Britain. He was right! Great bar, very friendly staff, excellent pizza and Mexican food. Check out Salsa night - fun, fun, fun! read more

Have been here a few times and I definitely recommend it. Love the concept of it, don't know how to describe it but there's no other like it. They do have some options for food just wish the vendors would stay open a little later. Space is nice and clean. Kind of wish they'd have the windows tinted, lighting towards the front is a little too bright for a "bar" setting. If you've been thinking about going I recommend it! Drinks are always good, staff is friendly, and they do have a pool table in the back which is a nice bonus! read more

A new britain gem! I had jury duty and they sent us for an hour lunch, so I took the time to finally check out The Assembly Room. The vibe here is so refreshing, I can't believe it took me to long to visit. The bar area is super cute and there are quite a few spots to purchase food from. I got a pastrami panini from Industrial Kitchen, which was made fresh and brought over to where I was sitting. On the way out, I grabbed some banana bread (to die for) from Froth. I'd love to try their coffee next time! I think this is a perfect spot for lunch in the area and makes for a great date spot! It's honestly just a cool place to hang out! read more

The assembly room food was delicious. At the time of our visit there was only two choices of food options and the other place was closed and it seems like the other food vendors that had been here had left. The space is really cool and perfect for a large group. It is a takeout style so there's no personalized service however it can make for a quick meal. read more

Finally made it to the Assembly Room! What a beautiful space. It's nice and bright, modern open space with a few grays places to grab a bite and/ or drink. It has a pool Area , music, DJ on Saturday night as well. The food court closes at 10 and hr bar stays open . Met my friends on a Friday night and bump into other people I knew! It was just a great vibe. So we did grab some drinks and hung out by the bar . Then we graba place to sit and had some food. We all Ordered something different. My friends ordered Nachos and I had tostones which they really weren't tostones. I'd say they were more like plantain chips. The pico de gallo was very good but I guess I was expecting actually tostones. I also had Pulpo Al Olivio from Nikkos. It was delicious!! I wish hey had sweets! I was craving something sweet and it was very limited. I was able to get fruit with a chocolate fondue. We were also saddened that Miel closes early in the day and isnt open during the evening. The place was pretty busy which was nice to see. Excellent service and lovely clean space! I will definitely be going back ! I really enjoyed it! read more

This very casual shiny-clean large-space counter-service restaurant serves up a mean chicken sandwich (the "OG") as well as a number of Mexican dishes. It was delicious. But if I ordered it again, I'd move down to the no-spice sauce because the level one tick up from that was too hot for me. Had to pay to park. Not expensive, but be aware. read more

The Assembly Room is a gorgeous new Food Hall opening in the heart of downtown New Britain. It's smaller, but it seems to have a bit of Parkville Market running through its veins. Creole BBQ is owned by the Mofongo Owners and had a soft opening on 11/11/12. My shrimp and grits from Creole BBQ was very good. Three vendors, Fowl Play (a hot chicken restaurant), Burrito Loko (a TexMex place specializing in bowls and burritos) and Las Tortas MX (specializing in tacos and Tortas), are all located in Parkville Market and in The Assembly Room. In addition to these four places, there is a sushi and ceviche place called Nikko. Also, The Assembly Room will be home to a bar called The Industrial. The Food Hall is long and attractive. Great wood floors. High ceilings. Nice tables throughout. Some brick and some painted walls. I think The Assembly Room is a great and promising addition to Downtown New Britain. The Grand Opening for at least some of these restaurants and The Assembly Room is Friday 11/12/21. But based upon my visit today for the Soft Opening of Creole BBQ, the awesome open space and cool-looking bar, the restaurant concepts and the energy in the Building today, I'm starting The Assembly Room with a 5 Star Review, at least until I sample more of the food. read more

This was a quick choice but a good one! They had a few different options to choose from for food, I tried the tacos and I was not disappointed! I had the chicken tacos, they were fresh and just the right amount. I had them loaded with fresh avocado, onion, cilantro, cheese and sour cream. They were the perfect bite size and the homemade sauces were amazing. I can't wait to go back and try all the assembly had to offer and even grab a drink and a game of pool! read more

Awesome bar and the bartender, Augustin is friendly and knowledgeable.You don't feel crowded nor rushed.

Some may look past this establishment because of its location, but when you enter, you're truly forgetful you're in downtown New Britain. I've been about 6 times, and the atmosphere is exactly why I keep going back. Whether you're looking to wind down after work, gather for a business meeting during the day or dance the night away to the live music on the weekend this is a great spot! They also offer the opportunity to host private events. The owner is always so welcoming and the bartenders are so knowledgeable and always so accommodating. Since it is a food hall, there are 2 food vendors and a small coffee/treat shop inside. This last piece is something some may rarely notice but the bathrooms at the assembly room are always so incredibly clean (I've only used the women's bathroom) and that is greatly appreciated! If you haven't been I highly suggest you check it out. read more

The Assembly Room - Bringing in the weekend - Food Court Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

So glad we stopped here after a trip to New Britain Museum of American Art. It's 1/2 mile away and was such a great find! It's a huge space which was basically empty when we got there at 2. The front is a well stocked bar, but we were only interested in food so we headed to the back . The choices were variety of fried chicken, or Mexican dishes. I ordered the taco salad. Honestly it was one of the best I have ever had! It came in a freshly made tortilla bowl with generous portions of guacamole, ground beef, cheese and beans. My friend enjoyed her quesadilla..so much food we both took 1/2 home. Sadly the coffee booth was closed as that would have been a perfect end to a delightful lunch read more

Great new business in the heart of New Britain ! Beautiful inside with a full bar fit for a King or Queen. They have a one of a kind food court right in the back and sofas and fireplace right in the front . Plenty of tables inside for your dining needs very family friendly or great date spot . They have a DJ on Friday and Saturday nights from 5-9 (hoping that will extend soon a bit ) . You must try the food it is definitely worth a trip ! read more

The Industrial Bar has a Happy Hour menu EVERYDAY from 3:00-6:00pm. I stopped in on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised to find a new restaurant there called the Industrial Kitchen. They have different Paninis & salads, CHEESE and CHOCOLATE fondue. We headed to the back where the Birria Tacos and Fowl Fries are. Everything was good except the nachos which were kind of on the cold side, the meat and the beans were served cold but the flavor was good. Just wish they were warm. The birria tacos were really good as usual. The fowl fries were good. Cocktail menu Is fun. Margaritas, vodka, bourbon & whiskeys specials. read more

W o w! Came by the Assembly Room because we were in the area, really beautiful airy space. Has a very upscale feel and plenty of space and seating. There is a coffee spot (cute), something that hinted at Dominican(?) that also did paninis and bougie-er charcuterie/fondue. A huge Mexican spot and a Peruvian -Japanese sushi cevicheria called Nikko. We stopped at the very impressive bar but were ignored by a bartender for a little bit with their back to the bar. Not welcoming but got us our two beers. It was Sat lunch so maybe they weren't expecting customers? Not a big deal. Since we peeked ahead at vendor menus we went with Nikko. We ordered Causa encevicha , kind of like a terrine of mashed yellow potato with lime/hot peppers, layered with avocado and then topped with mahi mahi ceviche and finely shaved red onion. This was SUPERB. My parents are Peruvian and this dish was executed perfectly My companion had the spicy tuna poke bowl, again impeccably fresh fish, really good texture and flavors. We would order again from here in a minute! Super nice folks working here. This is an excellent addition to downtown New Britain, parking on a Saturday afternoon was easy and free. Plenty of room to distance when we were there. Note: it's only 5 min from Alvarium Brewing so now we have a new pre-brewery visit lunch spot! read more

Neat space in 'downtown' NB. Fun bar space with a few cafeteria style restaurants. We visited Friday night where there were a couple guys playing some bluesy jazz. Nice addition to the evening but made the environment very loud. Made it a bit challenging to have a conversation with the company I was with - and we were more than half-way down the restaurant. The space was very cool. Warm yet industrial. A few nooks to hang out, a pool table, some couches and decorative chairs along with some tables/chairs to actually sit and eat at. You order your food from your desired eatery and then sit at the table of your choice. We ordered from the restaurant in the back (3 different 'restaurants' in 1). We got the Birria tacos, which were decent. The red sauce was lacking in flavor in my opinion but the taco itself/meat was delicious. The nachos were really yummy. We had chicken on them. It was a pretty big serving and really delicious. We also got mild tenders and fries for our little one. 3 decent (but not huge) sized chicken strips - lots of tender white meat with a nice light breading served with very basic crinkle fries. Fine for my 3 year old but really nothing that special. My husband got one of the chicken sandwiches (medium in heat) with coleslaw on it - he thought it was really good. Nice amount of heat. We ordered 3 drinks from the bar - 2 basic margaritas and the Mar Y Sol. It was $35 which I thought was a tad high for what we got. Margs were fine but nothing special. The Mar Y Sol was delicious. Coconut forward but reminded me of a summer drink and am looking forward to another. Overall - it was a cool space with some yummy food options. We'll be back! read more

This dining hall features restaurants and a bar, as well as a fireplace with plenty of tables and seating. To start off, this brick exposed bar was gorgeous with dim lighting and all leather chair stools that were really comfortable and could make stay put all night! Especially with the amazing drinks flowing, i definitely considered it! Also, Pedro at the bar is phenomenal, and all the drinks were amazing! The watermelon margarita was my favorite and so pretty. It had a black lava salt rim, and they used a jalapeño infused tequila to give this margarita the perfect flavor! All the drinks were appealing and delightful. After a few cocktails, we visited the food vendors in the back of the hall. I ordered the crispy fish tacos and Birria tacos from Las tortas MX. It came with 2 tacos topped with fresh guacamole, Chipotle mayo, and slaw, and the birria tacos were filled with meat cheese onions and cilantro. They were all awesome! The fireplace was on and so beautiful and cozy. We sat at the couches after we ate to digest a bit and then headed back to the bar for the best espresso martinis. The hall also had a coffee station called Miel that looked interesting but was not open during my visit. Also, there was a separate private area with closed doors for events or parties, which I thought was cool. For entertainment, they had a pool table in the back, and I heard a dj plays on Saturday nights. The only thing missing at this place is parking outside is limited but other than that, I would totally take a walk to come back to this cool establishment! read more

The Assembly Room I've been dying to try this place since they opened and I'm glad I got to go today. The vibe inside was really cool. The bar looked so inviting I wanted to get a drink but I'm waiting until later. There is a coffee vendor and 3 other places to get food. There's a place that does paninis, also rice, plantains, yucca, and more. They even have charcuterie which would go great with some drinks from the bar. That place also has...wait for it...chocolate fondu and cheese fondu!!! the Cuban - ham, pork, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles. It was so good! - Poke Bowl - was so good. Rice, corn, edamame, avocado, carrots, shrimp tempura, and tuna. This was my favorite poke bowl ever! Everything was so fresh! read more

If you are looking for the best cup of coffee in Connecticut, Miel Coffee is the place you need to be. It's located inside "The Assembly Room" along with a sushi place, a bar, and a couple American food restaurants. There is ample seating and chill vibes, which makes it a great place to get together with friends, or sit in a corner on one of the comfortable couches and study with coffee in hand. Customer service was great, the coffee even better, and I love that they sell bags of coffee that donate proceeds to nonprofits. Owner sources local ingredients when possible and supports local businesses. Uses honey as sweetener. I drove from Rhode Island to check it out-worth the trip, will be back soon! read more

I found this place looking to pre-game before bringing the kids down the street to a trampoline park (Funcity). Trust me, you will need to have some adult beverages before entering a giant trampoline park with a ton of kids running around. Based on the yelp reviews, I'm so happy we went here! Parking was easy, and we walked by a place that looked like Crate and Barrel...it was The Assembly Room! Gorgeous bar area with a couple of restaurants available. It was the mini version of Parkville Market. I ordered a spicy watermelon margarita then had the beef stew at The Industrial (one of the food places available). Kids had chicken from Fowl Play. It was win-win all around. I docked one star only because it'd be nice to have a few more restaurant options! read more

New Britain Connecticut, has a new look downtown and its called The Assembly! It a Bar and Food Court put Together. Located at 222 Main Street, its made up of a nice and classy Bar called The Industrial and Man when i say a Bar I mean A Bar. With Beautiful Bartenders Ready to serve, I asked for a Red Death and a Kamikaze and they had it. I haven't had them in over 30 years! Definitely brought back some memories of the clubs I was djing at when I was first introduced to these drinks. Next up is nikko, a upscale sushi Bar with all the fish you desire. Now that isn't my cup of Tea, but I see alot of sushi passing by my DJ Booth. After that my favorite the Creole BBQ Restaurant. They have a creole chicken and Waffles that is to die for especially once you add the Honey Butter he gives you on the side. Now the make and cheese, made with gooda cheese, cheddar cheese and a little bit of sour cream its to die for! There is a pulled pork sandwich made with this mac and cheese a definitely must Try. Last but not least and Mexican restaurants which has nachos and tacos and even there twist on Chicken and Waffles. On Friday and Saturday you have Me The Grand Master J giving you that old skool and jazz while we drink,eat,and enjoy good music. There's even a section where you can rent and have a private partiy. If you are in New Britain The Assembly is A Must Try Out and if it's during Happy Hour! Stop by the Booth and aay Hello Not Only am I A yelp person. Im also A legendary Dj from New Haven!!
