UPDATED REVIEW "It's…read morebeen awhile Since I've seen the way the candles light your face" (Staind) It's been a while since I visited the Redstone Pub, so we popped in today for a late lunch/early dinner today at the start of their 3:00 Happy Hour. I saw on their social page that Redstone has really stepped up their game of late. Think a new menu, lower prices, a super simplified Happy Hour (Every menu item & drink is $3 OFF), Weekly Specials, a lunch menu, and special events Trivia Tuesdays, Game Night Thursdays, and Wine & Whiskey Wednesdays. Our server Josh was great, super friendly and helpful. With the Happy Hour discount, we bought 2 Mich Lights for $3 a pop, a BLT with chips for $13. And a chicken quesadilla for $13. The BLT had quite a bit of bacon, and likewise, the quesadilla had quite a bit of chicken. We were very happy with our Happy Hour experience. Nice job reinventing yourself, Redstone.

The owner and staff are friendly. I went with friends last night, the roast beef sandwich and…read moreturkey sandwich were not good. three pieces of dry roast beef and bread, nothing else - very hard to swallow so dry - no taste, turkey sandwich was a little better, its almost like they had a 15 year old making the food...... my wifes quesadilla was OK. The Cheese Platter for 17 bucks took the cake, it was some sort of summer sausage cut into all shapes and sizes - chips in the middle and cheese on the other end buried under the chips. We could not stop laughing it was so bad. WE WOULD go back just for drinks - don't expect to get good food there.... This is the 1st review I have ever taken the time to write, I don't like throwing anyone under the Bus, but my sandwich and my friends sandwich were bad, we should have stayed home and grilled out. P.S. don't be discouraged by my review, Owner was very nice, and it is a cozy little place, just be careful when ordering food.....

I tried the Iron horse pub Sunday afternoon for the first time since I was in the local area…read moreworking. I lucked out as Sundays they have Happy Hour all day. What's better than that. The bartender there was so helpful with my food order as I asked what he recommended and he gave me numerous choices to go with. He suggested the wings and pizza which I took his advice. I ordered the 4 boneless wings for $5.00 along with the medium size pizza for $17. I went with the boom boom sauce on the boneless wings and i really loved the flavor and fresheners of the wings. The iron horse also makes their own blue cheese dressing. I also went with the thin all American style pizza crust 1/2 bbq chicken and 1/2 buffalo chicken as I couldn't decide and wanted to try both. I feel the Buffalo chicken would be more flavorful with their homemade blue cheese dressing drizzled on it too. I also ordered their $1 slice pepperoni pizza to go for my kids. I really enjoyed everything i ordered. I especially love their boneless wings they make and if you haven't tried yet the boom boom sauce you must. It's a combination of chipotle sauce and ranch dressing. Definitely will be back to try more food during happy hour. The place has a good size bar area and offers great specials for drinks. They just opened the patio that they have as well. There are other locations available to visit. Unionville , Bristol.

It's a fairly clean restaurant/ pub serving pizza and pub food type of dive bar The layout is kind of funky and a little bit dark, with what looked like a very limited number of booths. The booth, my friend and I sat at was right next to the door, which I don't like, but it was the only one available. This place is more of a pub, grab a beer or some pizza and some chicken wings Prices are reasonable, the wait staff was very friendly and accommodating I ordered a chicken sandwich that was soy and bourbon infused, with a side order of onion rings My friend ordered a standard house salad with house dressing. My friend asked for coffee, which they don't have because the coffee machine was broke. So ice water it was for both of us. Hmmmm The food arrived rather quickly, the chicken sandwich was good not great. The sandwich was ona specials menu for $16. The roll wasn't anything to write home about, the chicken was OK, the good thing was it looked fresh and tasted fresh. I liked the soy and bourbon infusion. The onion rings were generously portioned out and were really good, with a nice simple side of ketchup. My friend enjoyed the house salad with the house dressing, and they did serve some bread on the side, which was very nice Overall, I don't think this is really a must visit, go to lunch spot, but if you're gonna go to a concert across the street, this would be a great place to grab a drink or beer and some appetizers chicken wings or pizza Easy parking, clean restrooms, handicap, accessible

After several years, we decided everyone deserves a second chance. Apparently, so does disappointment. Today's visit started with a lengthy wait for drinks, which gave us plenty of time to admire the restaurant's impressive indoor climate control system set to "walk-in freezer." As we slowly lost feeling in our extremities, we waited for our food. And waited. And waited. The table next to us eventually gave up and asked for their food to go because it was taking so long. We thought, "Well, at least they'll get food." Plot twist: our food never came.

We went on a Saturday (February) afternoon and it was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table. They were playing reggae music, the fire was going, beers/cider/wine were flowing; a fun and chill afternoon. They offer so many beers from all different breweries! I didn't really know what to expect before going and this place was on my "to check out" list. I was pleasantly surprised. I was happy they were kid friendly because we brought our two little ones. I saw some people eating pretzels and we got some delicious buttered popcorn to snack on. The kitchen offers wings, chips/salsas, lobster rolls, bratwurst/kielbasa, burgers, etc. They have food trucks onsite, but when we were there (early afternoon) I didn't see one yet. I can't wait to go back during the summer/fall because their yard looked fantastic. They had a small stage, picnic tables, and fire pits. For recreation, they have disc golf, Cornhole, etc. In the summer, they also serve ice cream. This place will definitely be one of my go to spots to chill!

I think I got the literal last spot outside of handicapped. The Talcott Collective is behind the gold course building, which is now something else I forget . They have seating inside and outside, lots of picnic tables, and a lot of places for small children to run around. Dogs are welcome outside and of the three or so there, were all well behaved. I didn't try the food because the kitchen opened at like four in the afternoon. There was also a food truck outside. It looked like typical bar food but the small children loved it.

The beer was very good and the service was courteous. The only negative on the night was that they didn't have any merch for sale - no glasses or hats or tees - which is very odd. Not sure if that was temporary or they just don't bother. Anyway, if you go there, you should have a nice time.

Almost Famous Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in East Granby, Connecticut in…read moreFebruary 2022. It was founded by business partners Chip Glanovsky and head brewer Jim Wilfinger. Friends since high school, the two partners began brewing their own beer using fresh fruit and natural ingredients. Eventually, they had a dream of opening their own brewery. In 2018, they registered their brand as "Blind Faith Brewing Company, LLC". On paper, they are still known under that name. However, sometime before their brick and mortar brewery opened in 2022, they discovered that Vermont-based Magic Hat Brewing Company had already copyrighted the name "Blind Faith" for an English IPA of theirs. Needing a new name quick, Chip and Jim settled on "Almost Famous" in reference to the 2000 film directed by Cameron Crowe. The name is also meant to honor all people who almost got famous but didn't in the end. I recently visited Almost Famous for the first time. I immediately loved the space. It's very spacious with a large taproom, plenty of seating, a private event room, a billiards room, and a classic arcade room. I also loved the Rock 'n' Roll theme that was going on. The bar was built to resemble Marshall amplifiers, truss towers, and the tap handles were all different guitars. I started off with a sampler flight that featured "Anything's Impossible" (American Pilsner), "Tangent" (Tangerine Fruited Sour), "Stranger Than Fiction" (Cream Stout), "Everybody Wants Some!" (Pineapple Vanilla Bean Milkshake IPA) and "Bitch 'B' trippin" (Double New England IPA). The latter two were my favorites. Afterwards, I enjoyed a full pour of "Bubblegumption" (Bubblegum Milkshake IPA). Overall, I had a great experience at Almost Famous. I would love to return with my family in the future; my sons will love the arcade!

Let's start with the beers - HH Beers are $4. We had a choice of two drafts - Counterweight Headway and my choice - a Stony Creek lager. Bottled beers are also $4. HH food choices are limited to just three, and we ordered all of them -Shrimp Cocktail ($1.50 per), Honey Sesame Chicken Wings ($7.50), and a Grilled Flatbread ($8). We each ordered three of the shrimps, and they were plated up beautifully with a side of greens, Bloody Mary cocktail sauce, and a dill/horseradish aioli. The Flatbread of the day included tomatoes, pesto, cheese and fig jam. It was an excellent merging of different flavors on a thin crust and was very good. But as good as that Flatbread was, it lost the evening's competition to the Honey Sesame Chicken Wings. They won the evening's Gold Medal. The seven beauties were glistening with a honey glaze and were absolutely fantastic! Our feast of two beers and three HH plates ran just $35, and we really enjoyed the experience. Our server Liz was friendly, pleasant, helpful and non-intrusive. Happy Hour is 4:00-6:00, and we hope to be back. BTW, their regular menu features sandwiches, salads, and entrees, and they all looked pretty reasonably priced.

I had the scallops with risotto which were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Hats off to anyone who can cook a risotto well and they do it perfectly. I started with clam chowder that while could've been a little hotter, was thick and delicious. Other people in the party had eggplant Parmesan, which reportedly was terrific, chicken Parmesan that was cooked beautifully with lots of grilled chicken a lovely marinara that was topped with lots of cheese and spiced. The ancient grain risotto was again fantastic, and anyone who can cook a risotto well deserves kudos. The dessert I had the strawberry shortcake that wasn't too sweet and had a beautiful flavor of fresh strawberries throughout with lots of whipped cream. The Keylime pie was tart and delicious. The Brooklyn layered chocolate cake was tremendous layers of cake and frosting. It was just a perfect rendition of a chocolate cake. Last but not least was the coconut cake which rivals my favorite coconut cake in the world from Max A Mia. The Abigail's version was a bit lighter, but equally as delicious with coconut frosting that really hit the spot and is worth the trip back. The bill came to $317 and with a $60 tip for outstanding service and a wonderful Mother's Day meal
