    Local neighborhood bar with happy hour specials. $4 off drinks was a great surprise!

    Local bar in West Haven. It was clean and drinks were perfectly made. Bartender was attentive and funny. Not used to getting searched and patted down to enter a bar or to have security around, but it was still a good time

    Friday Night, Looking for a vibe? JRs is the place to be. Good wings, fries, good music. Older crowd which I appreciate these days. Will definitely go back.

    the entrance to the restaurant

    Excellent food! Went here with my husband and 2 kids. Pulled two tables together in the tiny bar area and had the bone-in wings, boneless wings, cheese dogs, fresh French fries and buffalo chicken sandwich. You can tell the 2 ladies in the kitchen made this food with love and is super fresh! Really great, don't be fooled by the causal bar /hangout atmosphere, food is delicious. Bartender/waitress was super friendly! So happy we went here.

    They have the best wings in ct.  I highly recommend their henny wings

We arrived on a Monday around peak dinner time, but there was essentially no wait (apparently uncommon according to my friend -- just a delightful consequence of dining at a college town during the summer). We split a medium pizza (1/2 elote mexican street corn and 1/2 bbq brisket), proving to be more than enough for two plus a more than ample amount of leftovers. Recently, I've gravitated toward thinner pizzas, a far cry from the typical Detroit (foccacia-esque) style pizzas I used to prefer, and BAR's pizza is akin to a flatbread yet very thin, another fallen angel to the GLP's. The undercarriage boasts a brilliant crust, almost cracker-like. However, it should be noted that the pizza is indulgent all the same. The elote pizza is quite possibly the most memorable, unique pizza I've ever had; it arrives almost crimson-red with a generous layer of corn and takis atop. It's still incredibly well balanced despite the hodgepodge of varied toppings. It's hard to pick a favorite between this and the bbq brisket though; while one is incredibly unique the other is simply sumptuous, nothing pedestrian about either of the two. The service is also impeccable, almost rivaling that of southern hospitality. I always thought Californians were friendly but something is in the air every time I visit New Haven. Incredible!

    Happy Easter Day to everyone who celebrates Christian Faith…read more My Sister and I had reservations for dinner at one of the best restaurants in West Haven, in most people's opinions. Duffy's is an Irish American Pub/Restaurants owned by Christopher Walsh. Being a holiday, Duffy's is offering both their traditional and brunch menu options. The dining room and bar is decorated with strong oak furniture, tables and chairs. The historic backdrop is filled on the walls throughout the restaurant of baseball, football, political heroes and of course, a touch of Irish heritage and American pride. The staff immediately make you feel welcome and right at home with their warm demeanor and bright smiles. My Sister had the Brunch Wrap with a side of Home Fries (Sorry no picture) I had to Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli and Carrots. Washed it down with 2 Smith Wick's Irish Red Ales. Our waitress today was Kenzie.... She was attentive and polite, did a very good job, especially with it being very busy. Highly recommend visiting Duffy's for any occasion, holiday or any other reason?

    We visited Duffy's for the first time on 3/8/2026 for lunch. We sat at the bar to watch the game…read more It took the bartender a few minutes to get to us because he was swamped with waiter orders but once he did he apologized for the delay, took our drink order and gave us some menus. We decided to split the rueben sandwich with fries. OMG!! It was amazing, so flavorful and delicious. The fries were fresh and piping hot. The bartender was warm and inviting. Restaurant is warm, welcoming and clean. We highly recommend the sandwich and look forward to trying other menu options.

    Oak Beach Bar + Grill is a restaurant and bar that opened in West Haven, Connecticut in December…read more2022. It was founded by business partners Gino Fetta, his son Luigi Fetta, along with cousin and chef Al Dinofrio and friend Mark Lynch. Both Gino and Luigi have 60+ years of combined experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. They had initially been looking for a space to open a new restaurant in Milford, but then they learned of the availability of a space along the shoreline in West Haven. The space had hosted a number of restaurants over the years, including Savin Rock Roasting Company. Gino is a lifelong butcher and had previously operated as the "meat man" behind the aforementioned restaurant. Luigi has a wealth of knowledge of mixology and a strong passion for food. The father and son completely gutted the space, gave it a nautical theme, and named their eatery after the nearby Oak Street Beach. The menu (which is always changing) features a variety of Italian-influenced entrees, seafood, tacos, sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, and various tavern appetizers. I recently visited Oak Beach Bar + Grill while I was meeting up with some work colleagues for an after-work happy hour. We were all seated in the dining room area. I really like the nautical theme and the fact that the location is a short walking distance from the local beaches and the Savin Rock boardwalk. I first started off with a plate of "Stuffed Clams" (bacon, mozzarella, bread stuffing). The staff weren't kidding when they said "stuffed". The stuffing was seasoned well and the clams were very flavorful. I follow them up with the "Fish Tacos" (oven baked Atlantic cod, pico de Gallo, shredded lettuce, avocado crema). The fish was cooked well, but the icing on the cake was the pico and the crema. I washed my delicious food down with cans of Athletic Brewing's "Run Wild" (IPA) and "Upside Dawn" (Golden Lager). If you find yourself by the West Haven shoreline and are craving a delicious lunch or dinner then head to Oak Beach Bar + Grill!

The bar and restaurant was buzzing with laughter and excitement because it was Derby Day ! We were seated at Table 31 with Louis C as our server for the evening. I enjoyed a Stella Artois and ordered the 14oz NY Strip with Asparagus and Fries ($32.00) It was delicious, cooked to my personal preference (Medium Well) My family members loved their meal selections, too and we were all happy with everything.
