    Merbombing Danny Roach for his birthday and honoring his community spirit.
    Cathleen S.

    This family owned business does so much for the community, I had to merbomb them! Always a welcoming vibe with great specials. We are very lucky to have this establishment on the Avenue.

    The new bartender Kat-G is awesome! We were made to feel very welcome! Suzy-Q was also great. Don't sleep on this local gem!

    Very nice casual joint Good BAR food and pool tables…read moreFriendly with parking in center of Southport

    We decided to check out this cute restaurant and bar March 1, 2026 in the afternoon. First…read moreimpression was good. A clean exterior and as we came inside, we were promptly greeted by Kyle L., the bartender. Johnny ordered a beer (Capt. Zig) and I ordered a glass of Chardonnay (Kendall Jackson) and two waters with lemon while we looked over the menus. We had a large breakfast but decided to try their wings as we are always looking for the "best wings" in CT. We ordered the buffalo as that's their hottest sauce, again CT isn't known for very many spicy lovers. Kyle said he would ask the chef to use whatever possible to bring some heat and he didn't disappoint. While they weren't quite as hot as we would've wanted, they were large, cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The blue cheese we dipped them in tasted homemade . The restaurant has adequate seating with a horseshoe shaped bar area with nice barstools. Plenty of TVs to catch your favorite game on, pool table and real dart board with steel tipped darts which was a welcome surprise. For a sports bar, they offer a really nice wine lists and while not cheap, they were reasonably priced for the offerings they offered. The bar area, restaurant and bathroom were clean as well. We will definitely come back to sample more of the food, and the only reason for 4 stars since we only had wings. Go with confidence. Thanks Kyle

    I wanted to like this place but I got bad vibes. We first walked in and and there was only 1 bar…read morestool (party of 2) so we sat at a high top. They could have easily fit another 3 stools at the bar; people were actually standing in the places stools could have gone. The place felt like an old neighborhood bar where guys went after work for a beer before heading home. Everyone seemed to know each other. Besides the bar scene it was empty. I walked to the bar and asked for menus and a few beers. We had to go to the bar each time to order. We got the buffalo wings and Sikorsky sliders. Food took a while but it was worth it. The wings were breaded so they had a nice crunch to them. The sliders were great - grilled chicken, bacon, sharp cheddar and cracked pepper mayo. The food was really good, I always appreciate a breaded wing. The beer and wings were supposed to be on happy hour at $5 each as noted on the menu. When we got the bill we were charged full price for everything. We asked the bartender why they weren't discounted and he explained that they weren't on HH. We asked him to look at the menu and he said he would honor the prices but the menus were wrong...? I wonder how many times people were charged full price for these items before and didn't take the time to look at the bill. I don't know if that's a normal practice in this place but its a shame because I definitely will not be going back.

    This is a review I meant to write from this summer: This place looks ancient inside but it's…read morecharming old school neighborhood bar with really good food. Sliders are good, also got the buffalo chicken egg roll which was really crunchy. There's usually a dog hanging out inside, well behaved and friendly. I don't mind that at all. It's such a soft environment. As far as drinks, there is not a very good draft beer selection, basically your usual basics and a seahag. Why not some local craft beer?! Service was great until our waitress disappeared (went home?) I ended up going to the bartender to cash our our lunch check from the table. Still we will likely be back because the food is yummy.

Service is with a smile. Sometimes there is a little wait because most dishes are made fresh. BRYAC has excellent lobster rolls, fresh shucked oysters and clams and shellfish served different ways. If you like steak, beef or chicken you will always find something to your liking. The prices vary which is not unusual with fresh seafood. The ambiance is great and welcoming to people of all ages. There is always a small selection of nice desserts. I look forward to the fried ice cream! Oh l forgot to mention, the beverage menu is complete from beers to cocktails! Soft drinks always. You will not be disappointed

    Whatever reason, I thought I did a review on this place years ago, as I've been coming here for…read moreyears, and I always have given it 4 1/2 five star rating because the food was fantastic and they had by far the best clam chowder ever. It was a type of place that I would say don't judge a book by its cover, it was a sneaky good place with incredible and creative seafood options. The lobster pot pie was delicious, the lobster quesadilla out of this world, the steak tips, very tender, oyster, Rockefeller, sinfully addictive... a lot of great offerings. Came back after a long time of not being here back in the fall and had a wonderful experience with my girlfriends. Came back today, and it was absolutely catastrophic! I don't know if it's under new management, but the whole place was chaotic, the service was awful, and the food was terrible... The clam chowder wasn't clammy in flavor like it used to be, it it was heavily laden with bacon bits, which, if you're a bacon fan is all the way for you, but I'm getting clam chowder, not bacon chowder. I ordered the mac & cheese lobster which was described as a creamy mac & cheese with lobster and truffle oil... There was not one single sign of truffle oil on this dish at all. It actually did have generous amounts of lobster, but it was far from creamy and the pasta itself was dry. My other half had the fried clams, they rate as some of the worst clams we have ever tried, and the portion was extremely skimpy, and the clam composition was mostly that grizzle! ( the attached photo is the dish as it was delivered to us... It had not yet been touched. )The fries were ice cold, and to boot what made it worse, no signs of life from our server...hello, hello...I felt like Adele! The gentleman who took our order was busy going outside, taking care of the tables outside went by us countless times and didn't even pay mind to us-you've thought we were invisible! The other waitresses that walked by, couldn't even understand body language, maybe they did, but didn't care because it wasn't their table, but we sat there for 40 minutes and no one ever came to check on us. Never had this issue with this place before, which makes me think that it's really under new management, given how the food was, and the lack of care of the personnel. I doubt I will be coming back here again given the experience, and I never do this, but for the first time ever I didn't leave a tip because they were not deserving of a tip. We finished our sodas, we were thirsty, and we were never offered anything more to drink. Why - because again no one came to check on us. When I finally called one of the waitresses over, she came and asked if I want to wrap up the food and I told her I needed a container and I pointed to my husband's food and I told her that the clams were god awful and why they were bad and unfortunately, we were neglected by our server and all other staff for that matter. She told me she would take the clams off the bill and she would come back with a container for my dry lobster mac & cheese. Five minutes goes by no sign of the waitress 10 minutes goes by no sign of the waitress or my container, finally I call the person who looked like she was manning the floor and checked on all other tables and how they were doing except for OURS Was there something wrong with us? We weren't dressed like bums, we sat in the corner, we didn't have extra sets of eyes, we didn't have an extra arm attached to our body, we were just regular, typical people, but she ignored us. Bill came out to $33.50 for bacon chowder, dried lobster mac & cheese, and two Ginger ales... Never again! Honestly, the way we were treated was shameful, hopefully they learn from this lesson and they do better... No one deserves this, especially with the cost of food these days. It took us 50 minutes to get here, and we made it a trip because we've had great experiences in the past, but seeing that all three dishes were disappointing makes me believe that this is not the same place that it used to be.
