I had read several reviews from fellow Yelpers and decided to try it. So, on a beautiful top-down day, made the 48 mile trek. Interesting old building, well preserved. Tin ceilings, nice woodwork, incredible porcelain and tile in the men's room. Smallish interior. Sat at the bar. Undecided between a cheeseburger and the harvest salad. Opted for the CB. It was good, not great. Bun was ok, better than most. Crinkle-cut fries from a bag. Service very good, prices reasonable. Extremely loud for early Sunday afternoon. Seemed like a reunion of about 20 - 25 women. Anyway, overall....3.5 stars. I was expecting better, based on the reviews. read more

We just had a couple drinks so can't speak on the food situation but they are known for their wings and burgers. It's all original inside from 1904 if I remember correctly and gorgeous. Service was very good and we will definitely be back. For as old as it is, it's very clean and welcoming. read more

Amazing local restaurant, eat here at least once a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times. My go to is the harvest Salad with the house balsamic vinaigrette (wow, it's awesome), the Chicken Club is also really good. Great place to go and grab a beer as they have a great selection, and watch a game. Staff and ownership are amazing. read more

The food was great and all reasonably priced. I loved the history and antique feel of the interior. I was over the moon that they offered vegetarian substitutions for almost everything in their menu. Our server who was also working behind the bar was top notch!! 10/10 read more

Best small bar around. Great service and the prices are so reasonable!! The Harvest salad is amazing. The wings and the chili hot dogs!!

My friends and I wanted to meet somewhere in the middle of all our locations and we found The Corner Tavern. The first time was great and so for our next special lunch we went back . This place is so great. First of all the original tavern was opened in 1911! It was renamed to preserve its historical identity. The minute you step up to the door you can see details that are wonderful. Inside it is warm, comfy ,welcoming, and a delight to look at.. the ceiling, the floor, the bar. The food is casual and delicious, and the drinks are awesome. Everything is made to order and comes to the table hot. We cannot fathom how the wonderful owner is making a profit. We each had drinks..I'm talking glass of wine (yes a GENEROUS pour) and two cocktails, a large wings appetizer, three mains, including a large burger, two fabulous big grilled cheeses with bacon and tomato, all comes WITH fries and pickle and the bill was under $90. And this is the kind of detail you might think strange (we're older what can I say) you know when you get wings they always give you celery? And the celery is ALWAYS awful? Old, tired, sometimes brown at the edges? The celery with our wings , both times we were there was perfect, fresh, crispy. I mean come on. It's an unbelievably easy on and off the highway. If you're in the area and looking for someplace special this is it. read more

This is another place that I visit almost every Friday afternoon yet never check in. I just feel happy when I walk in the door here. It's nostalgia combined with the company I am meeting- it just makes me smile. Their pricing is very reasonable, their selection has something for everyone, and their food is drool-worthy - PLEASE sample one of their many delicious homemade sauces- the favorites still remain the honey mustard and chipotle. Their burgers are huge and delicious. I love supporting this small business. read more

Corner Tavern - The remains of the off ramp Burger- over half already consumed- it's a pretty large sandwich! - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Excellent selection of draft beers, good food (including vegetarian options), good prices and friendly service.

I've been coming to Corner Tavern for years and always have a great time! Everything from the service, food/drinks and music/entertainment is on point. The atmosphere is awesome here. The interior is original construction and love that it's very different from other pubs. I just get a cozy feeling being inside. I Love when they do karaoke night. They have a great selection of beer and hard alcohol. A friend I was with was surprised they had one the other night that she never finds at other bars. It's a nice mix of patrons, all ages and types. I always feel very comfortable here and have an awesome night. They also decorate for holidays which is always fun when businesses get in the spirit! I was there just a few days ago and had mozzarella sticks, wings and tenders. They were so good, I've been thinking about them since then. I think I'm going to get myself some more today! :) This place is one of those where you could easily drive by every day, not knowing what you're missing. Give it a shot, you'll be pleasantly surprised you did. I'm so happy we discovered this little gem years ago and have been able to enjoy it ever since. read more

We love this place! Amazing atmosphere, drink selection and food is always delicious! We love Tuesday night trivia and Saturday night karaoke. If you're looking for a friendly well managed clean bar then this is the place for you! The drink selection is great! Some of my favourite beers and ciders have come out of this bar! They have a juke box and TVs so you will never miss a game and sometimes live music which is always a treat! You will love it here and oh try the cheese curds!! read more

This place is so good. 1st time here. Great service, great food. Spacious and clean. Definitely coming back

Corner Tavern - Extensive tap list that is always rotating - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Quite frankly the best bar in the Valley. Go for trivia on Tuesday nights! Or any night! They have a huge rotating draft beer selection with lots of variety. There's always sours and ciders on tap which is what draws me in. read more

Corner Tavern literally has the best beer selection around! My two all time favorite beers came from them being on tap at the Corner! Great selection of German and Belgian beers. The owner and all bartenders are super cool! For food, no joke, gotta get their chicken tenders! Only place I get them. Always perfect. Definitely a great place to check out if in the area! read more

What a fun tavern in the middle of nowhere kind of. I came here with some friends on their karaoke night a few weeks back because they wanted to sing and it's a fun atmosphere inside. They have reasonable prices and I'll def have to try the food the next time we go back. Def love the vibe. read more

The chili and cheese nachos were absolutely amazing. Tons of chili and cheese, fresh jalapeños, onion, and tomato, topped with an amazing chili and fresh cheese. Really a winner! Service was responsive and friendly and drinks were done well and decent amount of alcohol. Wings were decent but not great. Overall very good experience. read more

On a quiet cold night my fiancé and I were looking for a place to warm up and eat and this place came up. So we gave it a shot, the food was really delicious and filling! Drinks were great! At a great price too! We really enjoyed our night here and left with very full bellies. Honestly the place is very quaint and spacious! Great vibes! read more

The atmosphere & great beer selection keep this place going no doubt. I have been here many times for tap take overs, live music & beer events. I will not eat here again. Friday was the last time for me. How can you screw up a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato? By serving it barely toasted with the cheese unmelted inside and grill top remnants stuck in the bread that's how. Yuck! ! read more

Corner Tavern - My barely toasted grilled cheese with embedded grill remnants and what appeared to resemble a pickle. But O-rings were good. - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Stopped in just for a drink with the wife. Positives: the interior has been cleaned up nicely, server (Courtney) was very friendly and personable, great line up of craft brews and reasonably priced. Negatives: They need to do something with the ventilation it smelled very badly of grease it was really bad, I noticed before I even took a sip my pint glass had a crack along the rim and I brought it to our servers attention and she very apologetically took my beer away and proceeded to pour it out of the broken glass right into another pint glass instead of pouring a fresh one. I would have given 3.5 stars but not an option. read more

Corner Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

This place has more "character" than Mickey the Mouse, With a craft beer selection that will bring down the house. A welcoming aura and a great mixed crowd, From seasoned beer drinkers to kids getting plowed. New ownership, but the same building that my 60-year old mother used to go to drink when she was 18. The owners have done a great job of maintaining the classic, classy interior from the original construction: textured ceilings and walls, a big oak bar, and huge vintage urinals in the men's bathroom! I was pretty excited to pee when the time came. The beer selection is the best you are going to find in Naugatuck. Stouts, IPAs, Tripels, Ciders ($5-7)...They also have Bud Light ($3.25), but if you drink that stuff you are dead to me. Beer selection included some local Connecticut breweries including my favorite, New England Brewing Co. Sea Hag and 668: Neighbor of the Beast. Do it. A great place to try a new brew (that rhymed, tee-hee) This is a little simple bar that is a great place to catch a game. There were people here ranging from 21 years old to probably 70, so bring the whole family. My new go-to joint in Naugy. read more

The perfect tavern. Service was fast and friendly. My girlfriend and stopped for a drink and decided to stay for a meal, as there was an Irish folk band playing and the atmosphere was laid back. I ordered a flight of beer and and she, a cocktail. We had appetizers and enjoyed the band. The food was served quickly and it was hot. Nice quiet crowd, a place you can actually relax. read more

Corner Tavern - Great Irish gastropub, nice crowd, live Irish music. Perfect way to close the night after the Yelp! Liquid Lounge Event. - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Female bartender (not resting bitch face owner) was cool, however owner and balding bartender suggested I move from a parking spot in front of bar....there is an event across the side street, so parking was not closely available. patrons were like " nobody cares if you are close to curb" Buttttt apparently owner has a hard on for parking violators...this is the vibe I get. I moved my vehicle and choked down a beer that was in the line way too long. So of you are still reading this review, there are lots of better places to spend your money. Again my female bartender was very cool. read more

Love this bar. We go in maybe once or twice a week to grab a beer/app on Tuesday nights for trivia (come down at 8 p.m. and try to beat our team), or grab a quick bite for for dinner. Also have karaoke on Wed/Sat and, on occasion, live music on Fridays. The inside is mostly original dating back til god knows when. Great atmosphere with a huge crowd of regulars. The food is largely your normal pub fare, like sandwiches and burgers, but my favorite is actually a salad. I get the harvest salad about 50% of the time. Fresh romaine with grilled chicken, and LOADED with walnuts, bleu cheese, craisins, and sliced apple. It comes with some pita wedges and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. Really really good, and light to save some room for the real reason you come here - the beer. You will be hard pressed to find such a great rotating selection at such reasonable prices. The Corner has approximately 30-35 beers on tap at all times. Some are mainstays (NEBCO Sea-Hag, Two Roads Hef, Guinness, and a couple others) but about 80% of the beer menu is constantly changing. At no point in time will you find less than a third of the beer menu from local brewers (not just two roads and NEBCO, but newer places like Relic, Firefly, Beer'd and so on). They also get tougher-to-find brews like Sip, Goose Island Bourbon, and Fuzzy more often than other bars in the area. I love that I can go in there weekly and try something I have never had before. I have seen some comments about cold service, but I can say this has never happened to me or anyone I know. For the real craft beer lover, this place is for you. read more

"16 Beers on Tap" The Corner Tavern, originally known as The Old Corner Cafe is a landmark in Naugatuck. I believe it was established well over 60 years ago. A friend of ours happened to be there and asked us to come meet her and a friend. Right before she called, we were trying to decide what we wanted to do so we figured why not. This is a cool neighborhood bar that looks like it hasn't changed since it was built a long time ago. But everything is well kept and clean. I was surprised by the awesome list of 16 beers on tap. I had an Ommegang Saison Rose and my wife had a Yuengling. They have a nice variety of typical bar food on the menu and the owner does a great job preparing everything. I ordered a dozen hot wings and my wife ordered the black bean burger with onion rings. Those were the best wings I've had in a while. Served with carrots and celery and a choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing. The buffalo sauce was very tasty. It wasn't crazy spicy but just enough. The black bean burger had excellent flavor. But my wife and I both felt that the texture was mushy. The onion rings were great. Good food, good beer, and close to home The Corner Tavern is a winner. read more

Corner Tavern - Corner Tavern Hot Wings - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Are you looking for a great local bar with an EXCELLENT selection of craft beers and tasty bar food?!?! Well, come on down to the Corner Tavern. As soon as a keg is tapped a new beer that you may not be familiar with is up on the board and ready for you to try! I've had several different brews since they opened last year, and there is always something for a beer person to enjoy ie. IPAs, lagers, stouts, etc. My fav recently is the Breckinridge Oatmeal Stout. If you're looking for mixed drinks, or wine..well, of course they have that too! My favorite dishes are the nachos that are a meal in itself, and their salads. They make their own homemade dressing and it really compliments their food. Tara and Ryan have done an excellent job with this place and this is by far my favorite place to go to just hang, relax, enjoy a good brew and spend time with friends. Its a great atmosphere that is always welcoming! read more

I ordered wings but no spice dry rubbing as they have all wet sauce on them. I am disappointed.

This place is newly opened after being renovated and it's now one of the best places in the area. Competing with Pies & Pints for largest number of taps, these guys hold their owns and I think their food is much better than Pies & Pints. They have a big board of beers that's always changing. The prices are excellent, usually only $5 for an obscure beer is unheard of, yet these guys do it. Sometimes a beer is $6 but still, not a huge deal. This place is a beer aficionado's paradise. They also do food here and I've had a burger which was great and I loved that it was on ciabatta bread. The wings and fries here are also really good. Ryan and Tara are the owners and they've done an excellent job, the place is beautiful and the beer selection is outstanding. read more

10/0 chicken tenders with honey mustard slaps. Did not need to share pens to sign the check. Would go again.

One of the best places in the area to find amazing and unique craft beers, and they aren't too expensive. When I come here, I try as many as I can without getting too soused. They offer pub food selections as well as salads, wraps, and kids meals. The food is excellent, priced well, and the portions are large. A great place to come with friends for a night out. read more

Corner Tavern - Menu! - Pubs Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Great beer selection and that's about the only positive. The food is fresh....out of the freezer. And god forbid you want a second drink, you practically have to beg for them to take your money. If in fact they do begin to tend to customers at a faster rate, I recommend they use that extra profit for some customer service classes. I've gotten better service from call centers in India. To 66 Church I gooooo!!!! read more

I came here on a slow Saturday afternoon. Corner Tavern is situated on a corner, in a humble neighborhood right off Rte. 8. The craft beer selection is great and the prices are too. They seem to branch out a little bit with their spirit offerings, for those not into beer. The food menu is simple; that of a typical bar/tavern. My friend and I each ordered different burgers and both thought they were great, and again, fairly priced. The bartender and other staff working were friendly. If you look at my profile, I don't give out many 5-star reviews. Sure there are bars and restaurants that have terrific food, excellent service, and amazing decor - but you probably are paying a lot of money for those things. Here, you don't get skimped on your food or drink (that are both more than satisfactory) AND you don't pay too much for it. read more

Decent beers but forget the food...Waited over (40) f-ing minutes for a simple burger/fry's. Never did arrive. Chubby fuzzyed haired bartender (owner) made up some lame excuse about no room on the grill at the moment. Hilarious to say the least. Told her she needs to replace the cook ......She defended the loser cook. Walked out and paid for 2 beers (no Tip)....Went to Nardelle's around the corner and was served in under (30) seconds....EASY ... Better get it together! Its 2015. read more

Stopped for lunch. The corner entrance, woodwork, tile floor and high ceiling welcome you. Great atmosphere and friendly service are also a plus. The beer selection is great. Many local brews, reasonably priced. The menu is limited and the food is prepared fresh. My only complaint is the limited menu. I would give 5 stars if the food was better. read more

All i have to say is you wonder why your place is dead with only one other customer during lunch on a Saturday.....staff has an attitude. You all can make the choice yourselves. Try and support local businesses but you wonder why most people would rather go elsewhere. Only reason you got two stars is because I liked the food. read more

If I lived closer to Naugatuck, this would be my regular come-and-hang-out tavern. It's got an amazing beer list, solid pub food offerings, a welcoming interior, and just a warm feel to the place. I really like it. I do have something of a bias toward the Corner Tavern: one owner is married to a friend of mine, and the other owner is married to another friend of mine. So when I first came to visit, I really wanted to like the place. Have I mentioned that I do? The draft list is long, varied, and regularly revised. I came opening night, and my jaw immediately dropped on reading the board. The biggest challenge for me each time, in fact, has been choosing among the options, which force me to ask, "What am I in the mood for tonight, really?" The food is quite good. I thoroughly enjoyed my burger, and the hummus plate is well stocked with plenty of tahini goodness and dipping breads and veggies. I've been on a quest for a come-and-hang-out tavern. If I lived in Naugatuck, that quest would be over. Maybe I should move... read more

Went here for the first time this weekend. There was a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food was tasty, I want to try every burger on the menu. Here is what we had: App - House-Made hummus and sweet potato fries. Dinner was salads and wraps (but like i said i need to try the burgs). Now the beer list: WOW; Craft Beer for everyone. The night I went had there were two ciders, porters, stouts, local NEB, IPAs, double IPA, seasonals and standards like Rogue Dead Guy. Finally, was very happy with the refresh and renovation that they did to the whole place. read more

- Beer selection is one of the top in the valley - Atmosphere is above average - Service is average, very respectful - Where this falls a 2 star is the ownership, particularly the male co-owner. I am not sure what his problem is but his attitude is terrible, noticeable every occasion. Guy takes offense when asked if he can take an order. Apparently he does not like money being sent in his direction. With all the bar/restaurants popping up around I would advise spending your money in an establishment that provides respect to those who pay money to be there! Shame on you! read more

The 2 stars are pretty much for the beers because the food is basic but mostly my problem is with the staff. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that groups of people at are standard at bars and especially at a bar that serves food. There were a good 10 of us and I actually arrived after most of them were already seated and had ordered. I guess I should've specified when I placed my order but I didn't think it would be an issue. At the end of our time there, I approached the bar alone to ask the bartender if she could separate my items onto my own check so I could pay outside the group. "You can give me a dollar amount" she says. I look at her puzzled... "A dollar amount?" I asked. She's like "Yeah, a dollar amount and I'll just take it off the total". Still confused I said well I'll go grab the bill and do the math I guess and she's like (all snotty) well I haven't brought it over yet and like rolls her eyes and walks away with frustration. She hands me the bill which is not even broken down by particular beers. It says $6 beer, $5 beer etc etc which is whatever. So I added up my shit and while I'm still irritated that she couldn't just separate what I had, I gave her exactly what it was for my food and beers plus tax and didn't tip her. Not really my style but ya wanna be a bitch go ahead then lady. Guess you don't like money. If you would've given me my own check I would've tipped accordingly but you wanna be lazy so now you can suck it. ‍ Anyways, come here for the beer and a quick bite but make sure you keep it simple or else you'll be treated like you're a moron for asking for things that are standard practice at other bars/restaurants. read more
