Staff keeps up with stocking the restrooms with paper towels and toilet paper. They all take pride in where they work and it shows. Great DJs, music is good. We dance all night. Crowd is good there too, no issues. I'm older and still feel comfortable. Security is well staffed and walking around consistently to ensure no issues. One lights the way when we leave to ensure we get to our cars safely.

Loved this intimate, 'secret', experience that Conspiracy has to offer!…read more The decor, the lighting, music, is all exceptional. I love the speakeasy vibe that they have very much achieved! Bartenders were great, it was so busy but they handled the rush very well (we barely waited for our drinks to come out, I was impressed!) I ordered the Devil (2024) drink and was very impressed. I will need to revisit for their updated menu this year!

I can't recommend this place enough. If I could give it a 6th star, I would…read more This not only met what I was looking for, but went above and beyond. The staff is always pleasant, the drink menu is perpetually (seasonally) changing. I've been coming here for years, the first time I came the menu was a deck of beautifully illustrated Tarot cards. This time around the menu was an illustrated picture book. And get this... the book had for codes to videos that created a "vibe" for the drink. The atmosphere here is a 6/5 stars, the staff is a 5/5, and the drinks are a 5/5. I love coming to this spot and make a point to stop by when in CT. Cheeseboard was also delicious. The mix of artisan cheese with honey is amazing, then throw in a salted cracker and some grapes with dried meats.... Phenomenal experience.

The 196 Club is definitely a "speakeasy" location you should try! I went for a pre wedding…read morecelebration and we reserved half of the location. 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.

I wanted a chocolate martini so I searched for a nearby place to try out & found Social Lounge…read more It's next to Max Fish in Sommerset square in Glastonbury. Plenty of parking. The place isn't too big. Bar stools & some hightops. There was a big screen tv with a football game on, and there was decent music (not too loud) playing. I had been to a speakeasy overseas recently, and though I wasn't expecting something that different, I did wish this place had a more interesting vibe. The interior was nice, just felt it needed something 'more'. We were there on a Saturday night - kind of early (a little after 8). Hardly anyone in the place, but I'm guessing it fills up later? I noticed outdoor tables for nicer weather which would be good. My chocolate martini was really good & reasonbly priced ($13). My husband had a beer (bottle) for $5. Server/bartender very nice, making sure our drinks were good. We didn't try any food (they have some small plates). Overall - there was nothing bad about Social Lounge. It was good, however, not great.

I've been wanting to check this place out for years and finally made it and honestly, it was just…read moreokay. 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.

Parking: large but busy lot as it is shared with multiple businesses…read more Decor: stylish but cold, not just temp but feeling. 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.

Tried this restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved both the food and the ambiance…read more I started with the Carmel Espresso Martini, which was delicious. The Brussels sprout salad was top-notch--packed with flavor and one of my favorite dishes of the night. The pasta was also excellent, with a perfectly balanced creamy sauce that wasn't too heavy. I especially liked how they presented all the dessert options, making it fun to choose. We ended up ordering the pistachio cake, but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted much saltier than expected rather than sweet. I'm not sure if it was due to the cream cheese or the pistachios themselves, but the flavor felt a bit off for a dessert. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Went to The Forbidden Llama on May 2nd to celebrate an early Mother's Day brunch with my family…read more Our server, Jen, was very attentive and friendly, which made the experience more enjoyable. All of our food came out around the same time, which I appreciated. The ceviche was my personal favorite--super fresh and flavorful. The Peruvian street wok was also very well seasoned. The ambiance and scenery of the place are really nice and add to the overall vibe. There were a few downsides. Parking was a bit of a hassle, and for a Saturday, the place was surprisingly empty. Unfortunately, there were some men at the bar being rude to women, and at one point even flicked us off, which was uncomfortable. Jen handled the situation as best as she could and was very apologetic and reassuring. As for drinks, the towers tend to have a lot of ice, so by the time you get to the bottom, they're pretty watered down. The bottomless mimosas were definitely worth the price, but the service could be improved--I wish there was more consistent check-ins rather than having to flag someone down. Overall, I would go back because the food was really good, but I do think having security during brunch and improving drink service would make the experience much better.
