This is a community place where locals go to hang out and have a drink and have a bite to eat. Service is very attentive and helpful. Attending an event there, we had a nice time and ordered calamari, fish and chips and a suggested order of chicken parmesan.

Eating there years ago for the first time, we all ordered burgers then noticed everyone else was getting fish and chips that looked spectacular. I don't think this was the same recipe or fish, but still decent. The dinner item is served with house fried potato chips that are thick and very crunchy.

My partner said his chicken parmesan served on shells was good but the sauce was just tomato with no detectable seasoning. Calamari was fair, but again, for my readers, we eat a lot of this dish which gives us a vast landscape in terms of reviewing this appetizer.

Full bar in that they actually had Myers rum. Most CT restaurants and bars just have three rums to offer patrons: Bacardi, Malibu and Captain Morgan's spiced. I manage with the Bacardi, as having more than one Malibu is not possible as it's too sweet, and Captain Morgan's is my least favorite rum made. Good for young or unsophisticated palates. It's always tasted to me like the free pink gum that used to or still comes with baseball cards.

A large and airy space with a lot of seating, big bar and multiple television screens for viewing. Outdoor seating for warmer weather.
