    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.

I love the hanging lights over the bar, the really add light without making the space too bright. We sat on the couches next to the next place and although it wasn't lit, the vibes were sooo cozy. As a tequila girl I went for the maleficent. It was sweet and the lavender really added to the drink! I typically like to try different drinks but I stuck to this one all night. Our bartender was so friendly and quick! I'll definitely be back soon!

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!

The potato flautas and crème brûlée were definitely my favorites. I wanted to go in during brunch, called the restaurant to check if they serve potato flautas during brunch, looks like you can only get them during dinner. We were a group of 4, and our server, Soley, was incredibly kind and helpful. She suggested a few vegan options for us, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Such a lovely experience all around. Can't wait to come back and try more! Thank you to all the amazing chefs who takes time to come up with these kinds of scrumptious recipes

It was greatly appreciated because we were so excited to eat here. We went with a variety the small share plates. The spicy Caesar was one of the *best* I've had, crunchy with what I think was kale mixed in for structure. Highly recommend. The vegan empanadas were also great, smoky filling with a good chewy texture (my husband wasn't as into them, but that's just preference). The rest didn't land for us. The Cubano focaccia special tasted more like a deconstructed corned beef sandwich than an actual Cubano, and as someone who grew up near a huge Cuban population, I know the difference. The shrimp and grits went almost untouched, the prawns were mushy and stringy and the grits texture was off. Dessert was a duck egg flan with a cherry brandy syrup that didn't work for us, the flan was dense and firm, closer to cheesecake than the creamy custard we expected. Drinks were good, I had a glass of Rioja and a glass of tawny port. The service alone makes me want to give this place another shot, but this visit was a mixed bag.

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.

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!!
