    The entrance

    I was invited to Kbarr through Yelp for their Community Night Out-Opening for renovation over drinks and apps! Kbarr is an intimate lounge with a small bites menu and cocktail list. They have an outdoor patio with large bar. There is parking available in the front, but just a few spaces. There were a couple handicap spaces available. There's also a small lot in the back of the establishment. There isnt a sign up yet but i knew where it was because i had been there previously. I walked in and was immediately greeted. For the evening, we had our option of a Rum Punch, Margarita or a Lemon Drop. I was so tempted to get the Lemon Drop but I chose a Rum Punch. It really packed a Punch lol. The drink was strong and delicious! The bartender was polite and very knowledgeable. Lanasha introduced us to Kevin(the owner). Kevin told us about the history of K Barr. He and his partner Kevin, opened Kbarr in 2019 during the pandemic. They shut down 2020 but reopened reinventing the space. They decided to relaunch as a lounge. They do live music, comedy shows and will soon be adding breakfast. They are known for their innovative drinks and wings. He expressed how hard they work to source locally and interact with the community. Kevin seemed very cool and down to earth. The space is very nice and I'm excited to hear about future events. The food was great. I missed the 1st 2 rounds, so by the time I was able to get food it was time for the games. The pasta salad was really good. You could tell it was made with fresh produce. The wings were real wings lol. Not the mini pigeon wings other restaurants serve. I can't remember the safe I loved but I know it had sesame seeds. I wasn't found of the empanadas, but I did enjoy the beef more than the chicken. Lots of people ordered food to go, we were so impressed. Lanasha played games that I really enjoyed. I also participated in the confessional which was neat. The music was the bomb also! What a great vibe, I had a great time. I had a blast and look forward to going back for other events.

    Enjoyed coming here for a yelp event. The vibe was very laid back and intimate. Comfortable couches and lounge area. They also have a cute deck area with an outside bar. Not to mention they have two bars inside the restaurant. The food came out quickly and was gone as quick as it came out. The owner kept supplying us with more food. Bartenders and staff here were friendly. I enjoyed the beef empanadas, chicken wings and pasta salad. Definitely would recommend this place if in the area.

    Lemon drop martini. Perfect. Just need sugar on the rim. I could have drank 4 of these if I wasn't driving!!

    This is the second time I have been here and the food has been really great. I came for a vegan ice cream tasting hosted by David and it was a nice time. Great ambiance. Nice grown and sexy crowd. I had the fried whitings and fried and garlic parm wings. Today I came for a poetry night and had the fish tacos and truffle fries. Had a lemon drop martini. All delicious.

    My family all came together to celebrate my cousin Raushanah 43rd birthday. The KBARR didn't fall short with their food and drinks. It was my first time at the KBARR. We started with cocktails and my sister and I chose the specialty drink called "The Death Row". My sister and I decided to share the catfish dish with fries. The catfish was large so it was perfect for my sister and I to share. It was fried perfectly soft. They had a small menu which was simple but very good choices. I plan to return for their happy hour. I seen several people eating the fish tacos and salmon bites. When your in Hartford, CT please visit KBARR. To my yelpers let's continue to eat our way through out the world. #Foodie4life

    Nice little new place. The restaurant/bar is really clean and also newly renovated. Even though it is really nice it is also small with limited seating. They have nice televisions and also a area where you can utilize a jukebox and play music. The food however was not the greatest. I ordered lemon pepper w and garlic parmesan wings along with truffle fries. I also ordered a strawberry lemonade and it was horrible/very tart. I also ordered a Shirley Temple and they didn't have sprite. The only reason why I would give this place three starts is because they have potential to grow. It is still a new place and developing. The customer service was amazing though. The staff was very attentive and nice.

    What a fun night! Came here with a couple of girlfriends. Started at the little lounge area, but…read moresoon took the party to the bar when we ran into another yelpie! Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!

    Finally got to check out this hidden speakeasy in new Britain ! If you're looking for a fun night…read morewith the girls , a cozy date or just wanna grab a drink this is the place ! The code to enter is updated daily on the website , once inside the you enter through the bookcase door. The ambiance is nice cozy , low -moderate lighting ( not to dim ..you can still read the menus without a flashlight... which is nice) We sat at the bar and the seats were very nice and comfortable ( which I enjoyed a lot) and spacious I didn't feel squeezed between chairs/people ! The bartender was fabulous . And made great drinks ! We just got drinks I got the peaches peaches which was pleasantly really good not to sweat or bitter , not to overpowering with peach flavour very well balanced . They also offer small bites / food. I will def be back to try some more options !

    This place is an absolute gem. My girlfriend and I were looking to celebrate our 5th year…read moreanniversary and the blueback square was unparkable, so i thought we should try this place, as I had been meaning to for a while. I am SO glad i did because this was hands down one of the best meals ive eaten in years. My girlfriend is pescatarian so we opted to have all vegan/vegetarian options and this omnivore did not miss meat at all. My favorite dish by far was the watermelon crudo which, to me, defied all space and time. The watermelon looked, felt, and tasted like a beautiful tuna. The flavours had a Vietnamese flair to them, including a chili crisp and fresh mint, and i was using the delicious and crispy fries to sop up the rest of the sauce. Everything we ate was incredible, flavourful, and beautiful to look at. The atmosphere was romantic and dreamy, a huge change from the pug filled cozy pub that it used to be as the corner pug. Service was lovely and they surprised us by bringing us champagne and a sweet note at the end. It was absolutely amazing and we felt so taken care of. I will be thinking of this place for a long time and cant wait to go back!

    Attended a Filipino pop-up dinner and it was phenomenal. We were served 4 courses, 19 dishes and 3…read morecocktails. I never had Filipino food before so I enjoyed the experience. The Laurel is a spacious and beautiful restaurant. The staff are very professional and courteous. Decor is modern and chic. Food was executed well, coming out at good temperatures. As this was a pop-up dinner, I do want to return to try the restaurant's normal menu because I've only heard great things.

    When my husband and son went to Le Mazet for lunch and brought me their leftovers, I knew that we…read morehad to go back that very same week for a family meal. We returned for Father's Day and we were seated immediately without a reservation, though I think we just got lucky so I don't recommend this. We all shared the warm olives, the croquet poulet sandwich, the fries, the quiche lorraine, the chateubriand, the roasted beets, and the strawberry ice cream. It was all a hit, and when a 3.5-year-old and a 22-month-old are enjoying your food without any coaxing or help, you know it's fabulous! My husband got some cocktail and I got the phony Negroni mocktail. Service was great and the atmosphere is chic without being uptight or snobby at all. We all left really happy. I still dream about that sandwich. I'd love to go back and try other things on the menu. I'm sure they knock everything out of the park. I am hoping Le Mazet will be our special occasion restaurant.

    Easily a 5 star establishment. Do not sleep on Le Mazet! We've walked by so many times and I regret…read morenot trying this place sooner! Definitely need a reservation to get in on the weekend fyi! When we arrived we were seated at a beautiful booth. The interior is gorgeous here. Our server was fantastic I wish I remembered his name! He suggested some great items. We started with their steak frites and I cannot rave more about it! First this plate is definitely shareable. Among myself, my husband and young toddler we destroyed this. My daughter was eating so much of this steak and so were we! It was sooo tender and we loved the gravy on top. The fries were amazing and when they were drenched in that gravy it was chefs kiss! What really brought it all the together was the salad paired with it- it was light and refreshing and the dressing was so good! For dessert our server suggested the chocolate custard so we got that and a berry handpie. We ate both and kept saying "oh my god" with each bite. My daughter especially loved the chocolate custard but my husband and I loved both equally! We immediately said after our meal how we have to come back. We cannot wait to try other menu items and their cocktails next time. We are huge fans and will definitely be back!!
