I gotta say i couldn't believe prize. I paid $24 dollars for 2 IPA sunrise beers, that i can get a 12 pack at costco for that prize. I really think that they are charging way to much for the beers. So just for a quick stop I spend over 60 dollars for 2 beers 1 drink and an appetizer. i should have gotten to dinner if i wanted to spend that money. Never again. Way to overprice.

It's conveniently walking distance from the courthouse so I might stop by again and hopefully service improves.

While I have not come in for the food, this is one of the few times where I am not going to worry about that. Nah, the reason I come to a place like this most of the time is when I need a few drinks to let myself loose. It also helps that I live very close to this place for the time being, so I might come back here a few more times based on that alone. This place is taken care of pretty well too. This is good because sometimes this place this place can get some pretty hectic crowding, but other times it will be a quiet night. It's a simple tavern, not much to it, but sometimes simple is what we need. Oh, and the service from the bartenders? Superb! Both times I came in I met Emily and both times she was great. Last night I met Jay. Gotta say, they work together quite well. They set the bar for any bartender who works here.

Everything was very clean. Parking was a bit of a struggle - there was street parking above, below, and across, and a huge lot in the back.

They were well cooked but some had much more salt then others

The menu looked pretty good so we started with some apps. Beer cheese- definitely a different twist than I expected but it was great. Very flavorful, really beer forward. The bruschetta was ridiculously amazing!! The cucumber salsa was missing something but ok, needed some acid or heat. My disappointment started when they brought out our meal, (we still had two apps to go, I hate my meal coming out with or before the rest of our apps. I had the hot honey chicken and NE Clam chowder. The chowder was brown and was not what I was looking for, I packaged up to go. It was primarily the brown I assume the roux went farther than it should have or there is something else in it.. The hot honey chicken was ok, the chicken was paper thin , tasted mostly arugula no heat, no sweet... I'd switch out the bread for a roll next time and douse it with hot sauce. The cottage fries are out of this world and I would come back for beverages and those!! My partner had the biria sandwich which was fire, also had a salad which was really good as well. The cookies are really amazing! Actual Dessert- I am struggling with we opted for the Chocolate cake which was literally melting- did not think it was ice cream so not sure why we had a puddle in a box when we got home. I want to try other things, as we had some good and some not so good, so we'll be back and update again after another try.

The prior Scruples bathrooms were nasty, restroom bathrooms were nicer than the ones they had were just gross... but the way they made the bathrooms .. Omg I was in complete shock, They looked amazing ! I tried their pizza and I will say its delicious. not many good pizza places around Waterbury as I am very picky with pizza .Sauce is what makes a pizza and their sauce is delicious. Scruples will be the place I get my pizza from now on I met the owner and his family. They all seemed so very nice. I will definitely be a returning customers with my friends and family.. For the ones that wrote the negative reviews you must be customers of the old scruples and unfortunately that look is no longer and nothing sketchy about the place.

You are definitely encouraged to sit back and enjoy the food and company as you listen to the piano player. It was a great dining experience for sure.

A new spot in the Watertown night scene, several friends suggested it would be the kind of place I…read morewould enjoy, considering my jazz background. I found myself with a hole in my social calendar one Thursday night the second week they were open, and decided to see what the buzz was all about. Their website and facebook page suggested to "dress to impress", so I dug out one of my bespoke Italian suits and found the perfect silk tie to match (lots of orange, because it was nearly Halloween) and hopped in the car to arrive early enough for the first show (they have two shows per night, 7pm and 9pm, both roughly 90 minutes). Picturing a bar-full of women in swanky gowns and men attired similarly to me, I was disappointed in finding out that substituting heels for sneakers with jeans was the norm for women, and throwing on a blazer over jeans was the standard for men. This is more a reflection of the area, than the business, and there were some couples who took this suggestion seriously, with some people dressed to the nines. The inside is gorgeous, with the lounge area filled with comfortable-looking seating areas, and a couple of tables for diners (not a lot of those, however). Paintings of legendary singers lined the walls. The bar area is sparsely decorated, and a bit too starkly lit for my taste, picturing the smoky jazz joints of my misspent youth. Lots of stools, and a beautiful stone bar top completed the look. I found a seat at the bar, and ordered a martini. No Stolichnaya available (except for raspberry) so I settled for Grey Goose instead. It was perfectly mixed, and I awaited for the piano show to begin. As they were new and starting to fill their entertainment ranks, that night they had a pianist who was auditioning. He was acceptable, with a decent voice, but lacked a lot of the spark of other performers I've seen. I have to go back another night to hear some of their other performers they have lined up. There's a menu of small plates that will fit nicely with cocktails, which is the main attraction there, with a list of seasonal offerings. Since I had already eaten, I didn't order any food, but what I saw presented to others looked good. Something for my next trip. All in all, this is someplace I will probably frequent, since it's close by, and in time, I'm sure the concept will catch on and become very popular. I'd suggest giving 88Keys a try for a special date night, or someplace to go if you're looking for a different vibe than the other entertainment venues in the area.
