    The only true Irish bar in Stamford despite the claims and names. You'll either love it or hate it ....

    Classic dive bar, interesting people, cheap drinks, cigarette smoke, bags of chips, darts and the occasional passing train.

    NOT A SAFE PLACE* On…read moreJuly 19, 2026, I stopped by Bradford's with friends. After waiting a long time for the women's restroom, I used the men's room because I was on my period. My husband stood inside the doorway only to keep the door closed while I used the restroom, and then we switched so he could use it. As soon as we walked out, the bouncer known as Tony immediately ordered us to leave, snatched my husband's drink from his hand and threw it then physically pushed him toward the exit. The situation escalated instantly and was handled with unnecessary aggression. We are grown adults who simply needed to use the restroom. I spoke with the manager, who "apologized" but defended the bouncer's actions as "the rules." Offering us free drinks the next time we visited did nothing to address how frightening the experience was. I also spoke with a police officer, who explained there was little that could be done because it was a private establishment. What concerns me most is that if this is how staff respond to a harmless restroom situation involving a married couple(24yrs), I worry about how a woman could be treated if she found herself in a misunderstanding or needed help. Instead of de-escalating the situation, force was used immediately. That is not the kind of environment where I would feel safe. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Bradford's. There are plenty of other places on Bedford Street where customers are treated with respect and where I would feel much more comfortable returning.

    If you're downtown Stamford, this is the bar you need to visit. The staff and atmosphere are…read moreabsolutely amazing.

Service was good and everyone was very nice. Walked in around 730 on a Saturday night with no issues sitting immediately.

    Originally excited by the addition of the Americano to Stamford's downtown scene and aesthetically…read moreloved the place too - but that's about all after my visit. Got there early ahead of our reservation to get drinks at the bar. I ordered a dirty vodka martini and my husband got a gin martini. They got the order wrong and gave us both dirty martinis. I was briefly excited by them asking if I wanted blue cheese olives but even those were dry since you can see them on the bar pre-skewered, sitting in a container, not in brine. We finished our drinks and then moved to a table. We were not given water when seated. Placed an order for another round of drinks then (smartly) made the decision to order a mix of apps first before our entrees. Placed an order for another round of drinks, got the gnocchi, dumplings & wings. Food hit our table before our drinks arrived and we had to ask for water. Now onto the actual food - sadly, nothing good to say about it: - Sticky Gochujang Wings: well fried wing but WAY too much vinegar in the sauce not at all a Gochujang flavor - Sweet Chili Dumplings: Panda Express sauce a cloyingly sweet. Would expect more from a place like this. Also the filling of the dumpling tasted like it had curry seasoning? Curry + sweet chili are not flavors that mix - at least not in this dish. - Gnocchi: The sauce was broken/so grainy and gritty and the gnocchi itself SO DENSE. After this bad show, it was a no-brainer that we were gonna take our night and appetites elsewhere. So disappointing. Feels like they have a lot of service issues. Staff felt new even though they've been open for a year or so now. Unless some big changes happen, I have no interest in coming back.
