    NFL at happy hour
    Lisa L.

    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

    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 !!!

    Ny strip with added shrooms n onions. Was very good!
    Kim U.

    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.

    Nachos with beef
    Jason P.

    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.

    Mango mule
    Zoya M.

    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!

    Pan Seared Tuna
    Lindsay N.

    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!

    Thai Salad
    Alicia N.

    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!

    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.

    Beer selection
    Sterling B.

    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!!!

Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!

Parking fills up on popular nights. They seemed very understaffed, with only 1-2 bartenders for a packed outdoor area. The kitchen did not seem to be able to keep up with the demand, though I do feel like we should've been warned that food would take an hour when ordering if it were that backed up. I went back to check on my food twice , the second time being at an hour and 15 minutes since I placed the order , with people who ordered after both getting their food first and finishing before I received mine at all. After I finally got my food I had to wait additionally to ask for condiments and waited 10 minutes after asking the bartender if I could close my card while others who came after me both ordered more drinks and paid first. The bartenders did offer us a drink on the house to try to help, though when I finally got my food it was 10pm. I probably would not order food again. They were also out of all ciders .

Unfortunately, the overall experience has gone downhill. During our most recent visit, the bartender called me names, and the owner's son -- who was clearly intoxicated -- was extremely rude. Mind you, we are very generous tippers and have been coming here for over 10 years. When we were cashing out we heard the bartender say "I'm going to charge her card for a 20% tip" It was disappointing and uncomfortable to say the least. It's also very concerning how often visibly intoxicated customers are overserved and then allowed to drive away. It doesn't feel safe or responsible. I won't be giving them my business again anytime soon, I highly suggest you order food to-go or find another restaurant.

Just functional. I was there on an NFL Sunday. There were lots of regulars. There was good interaction with the staff. I didn't catch her name, but the woman who was the only person working the bar and waiting on the tables was amazing. She was super friendly to everyone. She hustled to meet everyone's needs. It wouldn't surprise me if she is an owner too. It's hard to find people, who aren't owners, who are that committed. I asked for a wing flavor recommendation and she said "Montreal Honey" first. I ordered 6. The wings are part-baked and then finished in a fryer. Good inner and outer texture. The Montreal Seasoning was right on. The Honey didn't have much of a presence either visually or flavor-wise. More was needed to balance the salt from the Montreal Seasoning and to justify the Honey in the name. I tried both the Blue Cheese and the Ranch. I'd recommend the Blue Cheese. I'll definitely return to try more wing flavors. I also ordered a crock of chili, which was full of ground beef and topped with melted cheddar and chopped red onions. The chili was solid. I'd probably try something else before I ordered it again though. I'm a fan of Hideaway and I'll be back. 4.25 Stars
