A dive for sure, and a friend had suggested we go because he wanted to play pool, but that's probably all the Brown Derby has going for it aside from maybe seeing folks you know locally.

It seems like a regular haunt for bikers. I guess anywhere in central eastern CT seems like you're in the middle of nowhere. Big bar with decent prices with drink deals and Jell-O shots. We met a bunch of people during our visit and they all treated us like we've come in all of the time. Thanks

This establishment was worth stopping in. Quite a surprise,…read morein a good way. Staff was friendly, patron of all backgrounds and ages. Pool that is free and patrons that were kind and gentlemanly. The restaurant/Bar was clean. Music on the juke box from all genres being played. Such a chill and low key place to enjoy a stress free evening out. Nice Outdoor seating as well. Plenty of parking. They have drink specials and are able yo make specialty drinks if you request. Pricing is good as well. Honestly, my friend was hesitant to stop in here but I begged her to give it a try. Both of us are Glad we did! I enjoyed myself tremendously and will stop in again sometime.

As our first visit to Strange Brew Pub we came to see a Beastie Boys cover band. Having never seen…read morethis band, nor been to this location we were not sure what to expect. The hubby read some of the other Yelper's comments and knew to go upstairs, really glad others mentioned that! The space is just big enough that you don't feel like it's tiny but just small enough to feel like you're right in the action. The bar tenders were friendly, they had lots of beer selections (not all on tap, many canned options) and the band turned out to be absolutely fabulous! Following Strange Brew on Facebook is a great way to find out about all their different shows (bands, trivia, comedy, etc) and I don't know why we waited so long to get there! We'll definitely be back.

May stop by again when it is warmer…read more Unfortunately, there is no sign on the door downstairs, at street level, to ask new patrons to go up the stairs, especially on a dark rainy night. A great thing is their response to Facebook requests for information. But, It was cold outside and when we came in, upstairs, it was cold inside too. So we decided to leave and find a place that was a bit warmer. Nite that there was plenty of seating and it looked like a nice venue. ***** Facebook response for parking. Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few options for parking including on street parking on both sides of the road. Our building is located on the right side of the road (Water Street is a one way road). There are also three parking garages across the street. Each are available for parking, two of them have signage that says otherwise but it does not apply to our business hours, 6pm till closed. There are a few other parking garages located in downtown within walking distance including Main Street parking garage. There is also parking available in the lot at the marina, about a two minute walk from us on the road running parallel with our road. Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding the venue &/or event(s). Thanks! For the entryway their response: Sorry for delay, On the right side of the building their is a staircase. Although we own the entire building, we are located on the second floor.

At Mohegan Sun for a conference left us on our own for dinner tonight. So a nice girls night out…read morewith my colleagues and with all of the choices, we settled on The Shed because it had something for everyone. We were greeted quickly and sat right away. Nice open yet cozy seating and friendly smiles all around. Two of us had a delicious Cobb salad - we both felt it needed a bit more dressing - but it was super fresh and tasty. One had a steakhouse burger which she really liked as well and we split Shed Fries and Sweet Potato fries. All was delicious. I knocked one star off because we all really felt the burgers should have come with fries as opposed to a pickle spear and coleslaw. For the price, an added pile of fries would have been nice as opposed to having to order a side plate. That aside, food was delicious, service was spectacular. John was super friendly and helpful with choices too. Tempted to go back to try their brunch items! Maybe before I leave I'll get back there!

I actually ended up going here twice in one day. In the morning I had the breakfast bowl, which was…read moreamazing. It's honestly the only place that has ever gotten my eggs exactly right. I asked for over medium and they were perfect. The bowl had a great mix of ingredients and so much flavor. Later that evening I went back for dinner and ordered a grain bowl. I'm actually eating the leftovers for lunch now and it's still just as delicious. Both experiences were great. The first time I sat at the bar, and the second time I was with friends and we had table service. The service was excellent both times. This spot is located next to the escalator at Mohegan Sun heading up to the convention center and the Winter Garage. This place Is spacious and really cute. Hidden seats in the back. I loved it.

They also serve other items that looked great going out to other tables.

Got some garlic parm wings, dry crispy wings with buffalo & flaming sauce on the side. Also ordered their fries that stayed crispy the entire time!

As I mentioned the fries stayed crispy, so did the dry wings we ordered! Don't know what oil they used but it was sooooo goood ! Basically 99 cent or $1 a wing and it was so worth the hype here at the casino!

Lucille's Café in Ledyard is the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly wins you over with…read morequality-first food and a menu that feels more curated than you'd expect from a small café. Their sandwich lineup is the standout: fresh bread with real structure, generous fillings, and combos that show someone in the kitchen actually cares about balance. Whether you go classic or try one of their more creative builds, it's consistently satisfying. The coffee program deserves its own shoutout. Smooth pours, well-textured lattes, and drinks that come out tasting intentional--not rushed, not burnt, not watery. It's the type of place where you order a second coffee because the first one was genuinely that good. Now, the caveats--the ones Yelp Elites always clock. The line can be a patience test, especially during peak hours. The café is cozy (read: small), and the limited seating means you're often strategizing where you'll actually sit before you even order. And while the food and drinks are absolutely worth talking about, the tab climbs fast. It's surprisingly easy to cross the $50+ mark for a couple coffees and a few sandwiches, which feels steep for a casual café experience. Still, Lucille's delivers on flavor, consistency, and quality. If they can ease the congestion and rethink the price-to-portion ratio just a bit, they'd be flirting with five-star territory. For now, it's a strong four stars--a local gem with room to shine even brighter. Cheers
