Probably my favorite speakeasy I've been to in CT so far!…read moreLoved the traveling back in time theme. They had live music (cello, trumpet, and piano). Would give a 5 for atmosphere , though it is a bit small; bar seating only. It's also quite overpriced in my opinion, particularly for Wallingford area- $16 cocktails. I will say bartenders were very friendly and were able to make me a fun "feeling lucky" drink. Street parking is available up and down the street with a public lot a 5 minute walk down the road. I would definitely come back

The service here was amazing. Our waiter greeted us quickly and took our orders as soon as we could figure out what we wanted. He even helped me pick a drink I would like.I ordered the VANILLA VIXEN SMOOTH VANİLLA VODKA, A BRIGHT STING OF LEMON, A WHISPER OF LOCAL TRIPLE SEC AND A TOUCH OF HOUSE MADE SIMPLE SYRUP. SWEET SOPHISTICATION. For 16$ it was delicious!

I have dined on more then 10 occasions the wait staff has always been very attentive. AMBIANCE.. soft lighting making is comfortable with light music playing to TV's for those sports enthusiasts..

You are greeted and quickly seated and if there is a line (because they are so popular) they kindly inform you that they will work to seat you quickly!

Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those. I'd definitely recommend going to Six One Nine for a date night or dinner outing!

The staff is always pleasant, the drink menu is perpetually (seasonally) changing. I've been coming here for years, the first time I came the menu was a deck of beautifully illustrated Tarot cards. This time around the menu was an illustrated picture book. And get this... the book had for codes to videos that created a "vibe" for the drink. The atmosphere here is a 6/5 stars, the staff is a 5/5, and the drinks are a 5/5. I love coming to this spot and make a point to stop by when in CT. Cheeseboard was also delicious. The mix of artisan cheese with honey is amazing, then throw in a salted cracker and some grapes with dried meats.... Phenomenal experience.

Great dive bar. It's a small place but the live music here is awesome. I saw some metal bands here…read moreand had a great time, the sound was great and wasn't muffled or anything. They have a decent selection of beer but that could always be improved, but I'm not complaining, it's more than serviceable and the bartender was great. There's a decent outside area in the back with some picnic tables set up and there's even a koi pond which was pretty cool. It's one of the few places around that can have a decent setup for some nice metal bands and as far as dive bars go, this one's damn solid.

The bar was awkward in layout and was only saved by the awesome bands that played there. Beer…read moreselection was ok, they had some interesting brews in the bottle, less on tap. Beer was not super expensive, about $5 each. What bothered me the most was the obnoxious smoke machine. Really? The 80's called they want their smoke machine back! All it did was piss off the patrons and make it harder for the band to breathe and sing. Get rid of it!

Those meatballs might be the best things I've ever had in the fried artichokes were absolutely delicious. For dinner, I got the special of shrimp and lobster and raviolis, which were a handmade pasta so very light and fluffy and the lobster stuffing had lobster meat in it and was very tasty. It was so good. I ate the whole bowl and had no leftovers! My friends all liked each of their meals and no one left with any doggie bags!

The only downside is that when you're upstairs and downstairs is really busy, it takes a little bit longer for them to come back up which is understandable. I don't remember the exact name of what I got but it was fries and brisket or pulled pork - it was drenched in this bbq sauce that was overpowering and just wasn't for me. however, my fiance enjoyed his huge burger and my mom liked her chicken sandwich but was a little overcooked on the outside.

"Imitator, intimidator, stimulator Simulator, eliminator"…read more(Eminem) If ten state of the art golf simulators are your stimulators, you'll love a visit to Back 9 Social. And your visit will not be handicapped by a lack of gastropub like food and drink. Their golf simulators are very impressive and combine radar and camera technology to faithfully recreate some of the best courses in the world, including St Andrews, Pebble Beach, and 120+ others. A professional organization I belong to held a gathering there last night and had a great time. We ordered and paid for our drinks through their big bar through a QR code, but you can still pay the old-fashioned way with cash if you prefer. We had plenty of their pizzas which were quite yummy. Our golfers had a blast and I should point out that although some of the other customers I saw actually brought their own set of clubs, Back 9 can hook you up with their clubs for men, women, lefties, righties, and kids. And of course, plenty of tees and balls to whack into their high-definition screens. The facility is gorgeous, the golf simulators were amazing, the staff was helpful and friendly, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

This place is a lot of fun, and we genuinely enjoy coming here, but our experience with management…read moreon multiple occasions has really put a damper on the whole establishment. We completely understand that the facility has every right to monitor alcohol consumption and prevent inappropriate behavior. Nobody wants people getting sloppy or disruptive, and we respect that. However, there's a much more professional and respectful way to handle it than what is done. We are unsure of her name, but the female manager present made us uncomfortable as she was constantly staring at our group throughout the evening instead of simply communicating expectations directly. The alcohol restrictions are also entirely ridiculous- I specifically was told by the bartender that I was being watched for alcohol consumption after having 2 Coronas in a time span of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The restriction on alcohol itself is not the main issue -- it's the way it is handled. We have felt watched and punished despite the fact that nobody in our group was loud, inappropriate, or intoxicated on multiple occasions. I also want to note that the bartenders have been spectacular and are always very nice. This is specially about the manager and the way she acts towards paying customers. When you're spending over $200 on the simulator alone, a little courtesy and respectful communication would go a long way. We really do like this place, but experiences like this make us hesitant to come back.
