Five stars! We visited during happy hour and had an amazing experience. The Food: My brother-in-law and I both had the Mariner Sandwich, which had fish cooked to absolute perfection and fresh vegetables. My sister had a quesadilla and commented it was the absolute best she's ever had here. We also split the spring rolls--they were crispy and so good! The Service: Bartender Edin took excellent care of us. He was professional, knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and his sense of humor was absolutely stellar. The Ambiance: Typical bar at Happy Hour. It was clean and inviting. Highly recommend this spot for great food and stellar happy hour service! read more

Please update online ordering! You have a lot of Gluten Free options and a dedicated gluten free fryer. You have fried chicken that is GF on your menu in restaurant but doesn't state it online. You also have GF buns, but I can't get the French dip with a GF bun, like I can in the restaurant. You also don't allow notes, so I marked gluten allergy, which was right on the receipt with the order. And it came on a regular bun! At least the fries are GF, minus the cross contamination it got from being in the same box as the gluten bread. I love that you all are trying. Just can do so much better. Yes I called to let you all know. And no, no one tried to fix it. Just said sorry. read more

UPDATE: i came back, and it was 100 times better than last time! the exact same ambiance that i loved. our server, olivia, was a GEM. i wish every server was like her. DOUBLE HER SALARY IMMEDIATELY! me and my girlfriend got amazing cocktails(mango mai tai and a winter sangria) and soft pretzels with honey mustard to start. and the STEAK!!!!!! holy smokes, whoever is in that kitchen now has to be like michelin star certified or something. one of the absolute best steaks i have had in a LONG time. and the garlic mashed potatoes with crispy onion strings on top? chefs kiss. the parmesan tater tots were also delicious! my girlfriend is very picky with her steaks, and she said her filet medallions were some of the best steaks she's had in her LIFE. she actually CLEANED HER PLATE. i am SO happy with my visit today. i will be returning MUCH sooner than last time! 5 out of 5 stars. read more

I really like the interior of this place. They have some outdoor seating but it is in a parking lot. Huge bar area and delicious food. Plenty of gluten free food. Even chicken tenders! Servie has always been quick. read more

Always fast service and foodcomes out fresh and hot. Go during Tappy hour! Staff is always friendly and welcoming!

After 40+ check in, i thought it time to update my review. I never sit in the dining room so all my reviews arre for the bar area. Whether the bartender is Tristan, V or Alissa, the service is always great. They have a special NFL menu and the island chicks are great (spicy chicken with slaw) so we keep on going during football games and hope they will add them to the permanent menu when the football season is over. Instead of getting french fries all the time, the $ 2 up charge to get Brussel sprouts as a side is well worth it; served with pickled onions and a lite balsamic glaze. Another favorite is the happy hour nachos with chicken. Restrooms are always clean, parking is easy -wear a sweater - I find it a little chilly in there read more

I have been to many wood n tap before however my first time at the newington location. And I must say my experience here has by far been the best ! We walked in for happy hour on a Monday, the restaurant is newer, nice and very clean with comfortable seating. Pretty quiet since it was a Monday. We were happily greeted with a smile by the welcome host and walked us to the table even though we were just going to the bar area which was refreshing. Our waiter was phenomenal, he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and answered all questions and gave us extra tips on getting the app and how to get rewards. (Which I didn't even know they had since no ones mentioned it before). The happy hour ( aka tappy hour) was great I got the cosmo which was perfection ! My husband got his usual old fashion which he enjoyed . We ordered the pretzel with honey mustard . You get 3 soft and warm pretzels served with a delicious honey mustard sauce (and I normally hate mustard.. but this sauce was more creamy and sweeter than normal honey mustard which I enjoyed). The nachos were amazing ! It could have used a little more chicken but other than that very filling , lots of cheese , topped with lettuce salsa , sour cream and jalapeños. We thought we would order more food however we were filled with just the appetizers. The happy hour is every M-F 3-6 and 8:27pm to close . And they have trivia on Tuesdays ! So I will definitely be back !!! read more

What a great surprise for a chain! The food was very good and drinks well made. We started with a Tappys old fashioned and a mango Mai tai. Both were well made and yummy ! Thai wings very good. Well seasoned and crispy. We both got the ny strip which came with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Medium. And it was medium,lean and very tasty. We added the onions and mushrooms to go with and dimmer was great! Service was on point, server was attentive and very nice. read more

Wood n Tap - Ny strip with added shrooms n onions. Was very good! - Bars Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

This is one of the places that has every food item, but doesn't specialize in one. I went here on a Tuesday night and was immediately sat in the dining room, which I was thankful for because trivia was in the bar room. The place was clean and well decorated. I wasn't all that thrilled with our dinners, the fajita steak bowl and shrimp scampi were missing flavor and depth. It was satisfactory enough for me to finished but maybe I'll stick to an array of apps next time. read more

I used to hang out at the original Hartford Wood N Tap when it first opened. We'd frequently order Bar Bites and Beef Nachos. So it's appropriate that my first visit to this WNT in my Yelp review era was with my son and we ordered Beef Nachos and Bar Bites. This was a good visit. The inside of this WNT with its high ceilings, strands of lights, textured floor and stylish seating is cool. Service was friendly and efficient. The Beef nachos and small Bar Bites were both good. My son was a big fan of the salsa, which is probably as important as anything to me. There was plenty of food. We had leftovers of both. Solid 4 Star visit. read more

I'm combining two review into one! I guess if I went back twice within the space of a month it means that I really liked the food. My first visit my steak was overcooked. Nevertheless, I told my server and they remade my dish. Otherwise , from that the food was delicious! They redeemed themselves! The service is great and the manager ensure that my second dish was cooked properly! Definitely try their new fall menu drinks! The fireside cider and s'mores old fashioned are the best! Don't forget to get that chicken quesadilla and calamari for appetizers! That's a great way to start your meal off! read more

The Newington Wood-n-Tap is our favorite location. The restaurant is large with a bar area, outdoor seating (when the weather is nice), and dining room. We like to sit in the dining room because the seating are booths and more private. Also, the vibe is very cool with the decor, dark wood, and low-lighting. The staff is always friendly too. Our food was delicious! We started with the warm Crab Dip that came with pita chips. It was a generous bowl of dip with large pieces of crab. From the seasonal menu, we got the Short Rib Tacos and Pan-Seared Tuna. We also got the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. Everyone enjoyed their food, it was filling and flavorful. I had the tuna and the mushroom risotto it came with was my favorite part. We were very full from dinner, but we took 2 pieces of their Famous Pumpkin Pie to-go. Rich flavor, texture was light and creamy... It paired well with a cup of coffee later that evening at home! read more

My date and I went for drinks, and it was a phenomenal experience. Our waitress was super kind and forthcoming, our food and drinks were served in no time at all and they were delicious! 100% recommend if you are looking for a quiet place to sit down and talk, but also if you want to have a great time! read more

Why have I never discovered this Thai Salad before?! Maybe because I always order the same salad ( House Salad with chicken) ?! Which I love by the way! I think I will order this again!! Chicken was spicy for my limoso next time I think I'll just get regular grilled chicken. My dad was happy with his burger. It was huge and cooked to perfection. Service as usual was great..sat by the bar . Being the 4th it was busy ! Newington location was nice and clean! Great vive in there. Staff is welcoming and friendly! read more

We came here for my nieces birthday and although I was disappointed in the accommodation ( we had a reservation) The waitress was great. We had lots of delicious drinks - strawberry coconut martini especially- and so was the food. I got the falafel wrap and it was so delicious. It was a lot of food, and the "side salad" was huge. The food was so good and I look forward to coming back. read more

Went for dinner and was quite disappointed in the whole experience. The food was mediocre at best. When you order chicken pasta dinner, I shouldnt have to ask where is the chicken. The server was mia for most of the time. Our dishes never got cleared as they were done and finally forgets our 2nd round of drinks and then to top it off forgets to bring out the check for 15 min! Like wtf. Bottom line: will never go back! read more

After leaving another restaurant because it was dirty, we ended up here and I'm glad we did! The restaurant was clean, service was excellent, and food was delicious. We were greeted and seated immediately, there were quite a few people in the bar area so we sat in the dining room. Waitress came over and took our drink orders. Menu selection had a nice variety, we both ordered burgers. They came out in an acceptable time and cooked well. For drinks, I ordered from the new spring drink menu, the "lemon and thyme"...highly recommended. Pistachio cheesecake was very creamy and delicious. We will definitely return soon. read more

I always have a great experience at WNT in Newington. Almost always sit at the bar, and it's nice to have the crafts brews, TV's, food specials, and fun bar tenders. Their rewards program is very good as well. Seems every time I turn around I have dollars to use. Stop by next time you're in the area. read more

Another yummy lunch at Wood N Tap. Really love their salads, especially when I have time to eat in. Their honey mustard dressing is thick and oozing with flavor. The parmesan tater tots are crispy and yummy. I'll be back! read more

We were weary of furniture shopping. In the midst of many such shoppes was the Wood'nTap, an oasis. They brew a good beer, and we enjoyed the hamburgers, bacon and blue cheese. My wife had a fish wrap that sho thought tasty. The UConn game was surrounding us, the rock and roll not obnoxiously loud, and service was excellent and well-timed. Now, if we could just decide on a storage bed!!! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat with my mom. The host was friendly and we had waters right away. The side of asparagus with the hummus plate was enough to fill us. We were surprised with the small portion of asparagus but they were tasty. The toppings on the hummus plate were fresh and zesty. Will order again! The only thing is we had to try and find the waitress for the check. We couldn't but we sat outside and there was only one other table dining out here so maybe she forgot about us. read more

Food was great! We had an issue with getting points onto my loyalty card so I called the manager. She was super helpful and even added $25 onto my account for some issues we discussed. Great customer service! read more

Food: 5/5 - had the clam roll. Great breading on the clams, coleslaw was nice Service: Server was fantastic. Attentive and really nice. However.... I get it. It was Sunday afternoon. But there was a table of staff hanging out in the bar, branded shirts on, maybe on break or post shift. But one specific bartender was using foul language and so loud we could hear her halfway through the bar on the way out. She might as well have been sitting at the table. For lack of a better word, it was obnoxious. Ambiance: typical wood n tap. Welcoming tavern style. I love the brand, always supported. But this was a bad experience. Do better WNT. read more

Food was good. Service was good. Ambiance was quiet for a lunch crowd. I was there with a customer and had a successful lunch.

Food is great, I came in with a group of 7 and was quickly assisted and was able to get a table. The service was great, waitress was polite and was on top of it making sure we got our drinks and food. Very middle of the road for affordable not expensive and not cheap either. The ambiance is fantastic, there's Edison bulbs in the bar area. read more

Wood n Tap - Bars Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

A decent tap list, warm ambience, and a good selection of appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees make this a great spot for all. Lunch or dinner, the seasonal menu is an added bonus. You can pick up or schedule delivery if you prefer, and gift cards are available since other people enjoy Wood-N-Tap too. The staff were friendly from host to server, and server friendly from appetizers to dessert suggestions. The little one says these are the best fries around here, and we agree. The tap and bottle list includes locals, and the French Onion Soup on the seasonal list was most comforting. read more

Wood n tap is one of my favorite places to go but the newington location disappointed tonight. Long wait times when sitting in the patio ... mind you my party of 4 and another party of 2. Was promised water in the beginning but only brought 2 out. Asked 2 different people for water and still nothing. Ended up getting my check and leaving. Not sure if I will come back read more

We went to the Vernon wooden tap this past Saturday. It was some of the worst food that I've ever had. I had a cheeseburger and french fries everything came out cold. They're remodeling in a place so there's no decent place to sit. We were sitting in a booth right next to the outside door when it was windy and everything And about froze to death I would never recommend this place to anyone at least one in Vernon. Don't go there you will be sorry. read more

Food was Trash, not what it used to be. Service was not so good, food was mediocre, ambiance was decent.

This was my first time at this location, but I've been to WNT many times before. While our waitress was good, the food was terrible. I ordered one of my favorite items off the menu, the chop house steak salad. I asked for my steak to be cooked well done, no pink. When my dish arrived the meat was rare, so I had to send it back. When my salad finally arrived again, my meat was charred, and crunchy. The salad itself was extremely soggy and inedible. I gave up. I will never return to this location and I may never order my once favorite dish again. read more

This was my first time at this location, and I was thoroughly impressed. This place is ginormous! There is so much seating availability indoors and out. The parking lot was shared with other businesses but was huge. They had a tented area in the parking lot as well as a beautiful decorated patio outside. Inside, the bar was lit up and filled with bartop booths and chairs. I went to use the restroom to wash my hands before eating and nearly got lost. There were 2 separate dining halls and another room for private parties. I headed back to my table, and the server offered all the new spring drinks. I ordered the dragonfruit sangria. It was a red wine spitzer mix with raspberry flavors. For an appetizer, we started off with the loaded beef nachos. They were filled with beef, cheese, blackbeans, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, and salsa. (I asked for no jalapeños) They were delicious. For my meal, I had the hickory burger. It was served with cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce, and frizzeled onions with a side of tator tots. Everything was really good, and we were in and out just how we wanted and were able to continue our shopping day with satisfied full bellies. read more

Came here on Mother's Day evening .. was sooo disappointed they ran out of ribs and mashed potatoes.. which I wish they had said before we were sat down so I could go somewhere else .. those are like main staples , how can you run out .. so they lost a star for that .. but anyways .. I ended up getting the fried cheese curds they were delicious and fresh .. got a baja punch for a cocktail.. was very good , just the right amount of sweetness and booze .. and not over iced. Burger and fries for my entree .. my burger was cooked perfectly medium rare .. so flavorful and juicy .. the burger Had a nice char on the outside like it was cooked over an open flame with a hint of smokey flavor. read more

This burger joint consistently earns rave reviews, with one standout being their delectable bison burger. Grilled to perfection, the juicy bison patty is complemented by a medley of fresh toppings, creating a savory masterpiece that keeps customers coming back for more. Oh! Yeah and the French Onion sou was amazing! The service was ok! The ambiance was pretty cool. read more

This is one of my favorite places and never seems to disappoint. The level of options is great. The quality of food and portions for the price are unbeatable. This location has the option of indoor seating, bar seating, or outside for those that can handle the heat in the summer. Parking is easy. Staff is friendly. There's an area in the back of the restaurant that is more private which is a great option. There are also some great vegan options. Don't forget to start with a appetizer! They have loads to choose from. read more

I usually have a great experience here but today was an exception. The place was busy so my water was never refilled. The server was pleasant enough, just over worked I guess. Now, my main reason for such a low score: Me, my wife and my daughter all ordered steak, all medium rare, we received one well done, one medium rare and one medium. My daughter ate her well done steak and I sent my medium back. I received a medium rare grissaly, fatty tough piece of meat that I am surprised qualified as a NY strip steak. The only part of the meal that I felt was acceptable were the brussel sprouts, they were exceptional. The atmosphere was nice, but I disliked the flimsy tan pleather chair that felt .... Well flimsy. Like I said, usually the food here is great, just not tonight. read more

Decided to start some good 'ol day drinking here, on a Saturday afternoon. To my surprise, not many people were here. This location is a bit more chic than other locations I've visited. With the bar walls throughout being mainly sleek wood slabs, the bar area having high wood ceiling beams, topped with a shoe & the plush cushioned booths in the dining area. My party of 2 were seated in the bar at a 4 person table. In my opinion, the tables were too close for comfort, regardless of covid. You're definitely not having a private conversation, no matter how low you talk. The pleasant waitress took the drink orders & gave us more time with the menu. I ordered the spicy guava rita. Which was delicious enough to order 2. The drinks returned quickly & our food orders were taken. I ordered the fish wrap with fries. Again, not much time went by before the food came. I wasn't impressed by the amount of fries on my metal plate/tray. Additionally, I hate when restaurants portion control the ketchup. The wrap...I could see it mainly contained lettuce. I think they rolled 1 fish stick up in the wrap. Nevertheless, I ate everything. I know I'll be back in the distant future, but not anytime soon & it'll likely be a friend's choice. The prices of the items, in my opinion, are high & so far the food was blah. read more

Came here for dinner party of 5. Wait time was not too. Heard a new location was open and wanted to check it out. Atmosphere was very nice. Rustic decor I like all the high ceilings and light fixtures. Not too loud. Music in the background in the lodge area. You can also be seated in the dinning area that seems a bit more quiet and intimate. Service was good. James did a good job checking on us. Giving us good recommendations. Drinks came from the bar a little slow though. Food came out fast, which was nice. Food overall was good. For apps we ordered the calamari "delicious" I really liked the fired peppers ... Buffalo wings "yummy" only came with celery no carrots. For dinner I had the steak and garlic mashed it was good. Flavors was good. For dessert I had the brownie with the ice cream not crazy about the whole almonds in it. The cheesecake cream brûlée was ok. Livy's cheesecake was my favorite. Will go back. Wood&tap has always been one of my favorites places when I am in town for the holidays. read more
