Loved this intimate, 'secret', experience that Conspiracy has to offer!…read more The decor, the lighting, music, is all exceptional. I love the speakeasy vibe that they have very much achieved! Bartenders were great, it was so busy but they handled the rush very well (we barely waited for our drinks to come out, I was impressed!) I ordered the Devil (2024) drink and was very impressed. I will need to revisit for their updated menu this year!

I can't recommend this place enough. If I could give it a 6th star, I would…read more This not only met what I was looking for, but went above and beyond. The staff is always pleasant, the drink menu is perpetually (seasonally) changing. I've been coming here for years, the first time I came the menu was a deck of beautifully illustrated Tarot cards. This time around the menu was an illustrated picture book. And get this... the book had for codes to videos that created a "vibe" for the drink. The atmosphere here is a 6/5 stars, the staff is a 5/5, and the drinks are a 5/5. I love coming to this spot and make a point to stop by when in CT. Cheeseboard was also delicious. The mix of artisan cheese with honey is amazing, then throw in a salted cracker and some grapes with dried meats.... Phenomenal experience.

Atmosphere/Appearance: Lots of people are afraid of dive bars for some reason. I don't know if it's because of the stuff they see in movies or what, but they're some of the best places to come! Everyone is friendly, no one is judgmental, folks just kinda mesh together! There is a private parking lot out front as this place is literally located next to Jerry's Pizza. I'm assuming they're owned by the same folks. Once inside you'll see the bar to the right, dining to the left then the pool tables and bathrooms all the way in the back. There's a TouchTunes digital jukebox here so you can play whatever kind of music you want loudly throughout the restaurant. Lol. Service: It seemed as if 1 to 2 lovely ladies were running the bar and the whole restaurant by themselves. They were doing an excellent job making sure we were all taken care of and I was quite impressed. Food: I came for the WWWIIINNNGGGSSS. We tried the Mango Habanero, Sweet Thai Chili and Thai Peanut Butter & Jelly. They were all just okay. I don't like breading on my wings. It just adds carbs and makes the wings "look" bigger. Like stuffing a bra... you feel me? Out of the 3, I think the Mango Habanero would've been my favorite, but overall I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for wings. Sorry. :-/ Value: I can't recall how much wings were, but they weren't expensive at all. You won't break the bank eating here, no matter what you get. In conclusion... this place is cool. I wouldn't get the wings here again, but I'd certainly be willing to try other things on the menu for sure.

It is our mission to try all of the wing flavors. It's a great local bar on the south side of town, where there are not as many bars and restaurants. Good place to watch sports or to grab a drink or a bite to eat.

I came here for an early dinner on a Monday with my husband and daughter. I started off with the…read moreSpeakeasy Punch - yum! - and shared the Ale House Pub Pretzels with my husband. For our entrees, I had the Nashville Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, my husband had the New England Fish & Chips, and our daughter had pasta with marinara sauce. We really liked our food! The quality and serving size was great - we had enough to enjoy the following day at home. It was also a nice surprise to find out our daughter's meal was free since it was Kid's Night. We look forward to dining here again!

The atmosphere is straight up bar but we still felt comfortable with our teens with us. It would have been fine with smaller children too as the restaurant seating is away from the bar area. The beer menu was fairly comprehensive. They have their own brews and have many local CT craft brews on draft. They also have some cans and bottles if that's your thing. I didn't notice any crazy rare lambics but that's not what we were looking for. We had a few hazies and few stouts and everything was delightful. Our server Anna was a seasoned pro. She knew the menu and exactly when to come by our table to check in. We had some pulled pork nachos and there was plenty to go around. The dry rub on the wings was delicious and the wings themselves were cooked right. Overall, if you find yourself in Middletown looking for a nice beer and some decent food, this is a great choice!

Great for the warmer months when joined by a couple of friends. I am giving this a 3 stars because the last time me & my partner visited we did not get the same welcoming attitudes which we experienced in our previous visits. Another weird vibe I got was when I was ordering another round of beers for both my boyfriend and I -- my order was taken last despite standing/waiting at the bar before other patron's. I was the only woman standing there so I am not sure if this had something to do with it.... Definitely a college bar-type atmosphere. I will say the crispy brussels & spinach and artichoke dip were tasty and cooked very well.

If you order wine, they give you one of those little bottles that come in a 4 pack. Ordered chicken parm grinder and it tasted like a microwaved chicken patty.
