    Cheesesteak and tater tots
    Chiara D.

    FABULOUS!! AMAZING! Awesome place, awesome atmosphere and awesome food. This place is a great new local gem in Granby. If you are in the area you have to stop in and try this place! We got two appetizers, the spinach and artichoke dip and pretzels. The dip was awesome! So delicious with big chunks of spinach!! The pretzels were delicious too with a cheese and mustard dipping sauce which both were tasty and delicious! Afterwards we all got a shrimp po boy (huge amazing portions), two veggie sandwiches and a cheese steak. All of these entrees came on a few moments and were delicious! After we got the warm delicious brownie which was devoured in a few moments!! To top it off we had the key lime martini and mama bear refresher. Both of these were delicious and refreshing! All in all this was a great experience and we cant wait to go back!!

    Stopped in for a late lunch on our way to Enders falls. Great service and food. We sat on the patio which was super cute. Others in our party got the Philly sandwich (I had a bite, it was amazing!) and the burger that was on special - they also said it was very good. I got the shrimp and egg rolls. Shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauce was on point. Egg rolls were great too - absolutely stuffed with chicken! Don't be like me - let them cool before you bite into them. Great beer selection too. Would definitely go back.

    Quick service! Food was ready in minutes. Loved the vibe we ate outside and had a great experience Fat orange cat baby kittens IPA was great

    The atmosphere of The Bear's Den pub in Granby CT is upscale without being stuffy, and is bursting with good times.

    I got the opportunity to attend the grand opening of Audacity in Manchester, CT and here's how it…read morewent! (Sorry this is so late. Lol.) Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right downtown Manchester on Main Street is this gem where Lucky Taco once stood. It echoes the standard British pubs and taverns from across the pond with deep yellow lighting, woods, exposed brick walls and open floorplan kind of vibe. It was lively, energetic and welcoming! Service: Lara took excellent care of us and she was very helpful! I had no issues at all. Food/Drinks: On the table when we arrived was an Irn Bru which is a SUPER popular drink sold in Scotland, often beating Coca-Cola in sales. It tasted like orange licorice, but it was actually pretty decent. Our first appetizer was an order of Crisps which were like thick cut potato chips with some garlic parmesan seasonings which I actually enjoyed! There was plenty of flavor from each component involved. Next up was the 007 which was their spin on the martini James Bond orders! In it is Wheatley Vodka, Bombay Gin, and English Tea Infused Lillet Blanc. It tasted like a dirty martini and was pretty strong! Smooth as well. I enjoyed it. Next up was a dish called Toad In The Hole which is Yorkshire pudding stuffed with smoked sausage then topped with caramelized onions and gravy. I have never seen anything like this before, but it was so strange, but pretty decent! The Yorkshire pudding was a bit eggy and dense. The gravy was a must though, since the other components of the dish lacked the salt that I was seeking. Next up was the Cloth Of Gold Old which is an Old Fashion with a twist which contained Old Forester, fresh lemon and honey. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure why the mention of Old Fashion was on the menu unless this is supposed to differ from an "Old Fashioned". No matter, moving on. Next up were the Potato Pom Pom which are fired potato balls served with a house-made cheddar cheese sauce. It sounds like a simple dish. The cheese was thick, majorly cheddar-y. I really, really liked these! They tasted like a fancy tater tot. The potato inside was so soft and tender and the exterior was so crispy. My last drink of the night was the Bramble On Rose which is their take on a 1980's classic created in Soho, London. In it is Bombay Gin, fresh lemon, rose water and blackberry syrup. This was my favorite drink of the night. It was fresh, had some herbal flavors and the rose flavor made itself known. I really, really liked this drink and would certainly order it again. Lastly, the quintessential Fish & Chips! It's Atlantic cod in a brown ale batter, served with musky peas, chips, tartar sauce and a curry sauce. The curry sauce was surprisingly fantastic. I was blown away and absolutely needed more of it. The mushy peas resembled guacamole, but I had no idea how I was supposed to eat them. Lol. Were they a sauce? I don't know, but they tasted exactly how you'd think they'd taste. The fish was also fantastic. It was light, yet greasy and crispy. Value: The most expensive thing on the menu is $22.00. This place is not expensive at all so you certainly won't break the bank. Portions are decent size too. In conclusion, I absolutely enjoyed myself here and highly recommend you (reading this) to check it out! British food is... unpredictable if I must throw a word on it. Lol. Like, I almost couldn't predict what some of this stuff would taste like because I had never had anything like it before! Now, I'm a believer!

    I'm back! The restaurant is located on 829 Main St. in Manchester. Audacity British Style Pub is a…read moregastropub in Manchester, CT, offering authentic British cuisine like Fish n' Chips, Cottage Pie, and Bangers and Mash, alongside a selection of ales and cocktails in a cozy atmosphere. It's known for its friendly service, generous portions, and events like live music and karaoke, aiming to provide a unique UK pub experience.  They bring a huge pitcher and a few really small (8 oz) glasses. These complimentary chips are the best! Homemade and seasoned! For my first drink, I'm having the Cloth of Gold. This is an Old Fashioned recipe allegedly dating back to the 1600's. It is made with Old Forester, fresh lemon and honey (no bitters). This is nicely garnished and tastes good. I do think these glasses are only 10ox but I could be wrong. For my first item, I'm having the Chicken soup with rice and vegetables. This is steaming hot. The spoon is definitely oversized. It is very thick. Definitely a lot of chicken! This is real good! For my entree, I'm having the Atlantic Cod topped with buttery breadcrumbs and lemon bourre blanc sauce.Atlantic cod is a major commercial fish species found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, ranging from North Carolina to the Barents Sea, and is renowned for its mild, flaky white meat. Lemon beurre blanc is a classic, rich French emulsified butter sauce brightened with lemon juice, white wine, and shallots, ideal for fish, seafood, or vegetables. It is made by reducing wine, lemon juice, and shallots, then whisking in cold, cubed butter off-heat to create a creamy, velvety texture. I'm having sides of cole slaw and a Caesar salad. This looks nice! That's a huge mound of cole slaw! That Caesar salad is huge (for a side dish)! This cod is steaming hot and tastes great! I love that sauce! For my last drink, I'm having an Obi Wan Negroni (which, just like the Jedi Master), is "out of this world." It is made with cold brewed infused Campari, Bombay gin and Carpano Antica Vermouth. You gotta love the light saber! This tastes like a coffee-infused Negroni. It's real good! For dessert, we are having the Blueberry Lemon Crumble Cake. Nice presentation! This is good! What a great meal here!

The restaurant has a cozy, rustic pub atmosphere that makes it a comfortable place to settle in, whether you are grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal. The menu leans into creative comfort food, offering elevated versions of classic pub staples. We started with the nachos, which came piled high with melted cheddar jack, chili, pico de gallo, jalapeños, and other classic toppings. They were flavorful and satisfying, with a good balance of cheese and heat, and they made for a strong opening to the meal. That said, the price felt a bit steep for an appetizer, especially compared to similar local pub spots. For what you pay, you expect either a larger portion or something that really stands out. The New England clam chowder had a rich, creamy base with tender potatoes and good seasoning, delivering that comforting, traditional flavor you hope for. However, it could have used more clams. While the broth itself was enjoyable, the clam presence was lighter than expected, and for a seafood forward soup at that price point, a more generous portion of clams would have made a noticeable difference. The meatloaf grilled cheese sandwich was one of the more memorable dishes. Thick cut toast held together hearty slices of meatloaf, melted cheddar, bacon, BBQ sauce, frizzled onions, and buttermilk ranch. It was rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor, a fun twist on classic comfort food. It is definitely not a light option, but if you are in the mood for something bold and filling, it delivers. We also ordered the Ventura Highway burger, topped with smoked bacon, gorgonzola, and guacamole over a juicy Angus patty. The combination of smoky, creamy, and tangy flavors worked well together, and the burger itself was cooked properly. Still, like the other items, the price felt high for a burger, especially when appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, and burgers all sit at the upper end of the local pub pricing spectrum. Overall, Little Pub offers creative, well executed comfort food in a welcoming setting. The flavors are there, and the menu has personality. The main critiques are value based, the chowder could use more clams, and the pricing across much of the menu feels elevated for what you receive. It is a good spot for a casual night out, just be prepared to pay a bit of a premium for the experience.

When we arrived it took…read morea good ten minutes before anyone came to the hostess station, where a sign specifically says to wait to be seated. Luckily the food more than made up for the wait. I started with the french onion soup, which I thought was a bit small for $9, but it was tasty and hit the spot on a cold winters night. My husband ordered the BLT sandwich with fries. For my meal, I ordered the thanksgiving turkey wrap with sweet potato fries, which came piping hot. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and fries. You would never know this location was once a chinese food restaurant. The decor was rustic and pub like, giving a very cozy feel. This location is close to home for us, so I definitely see us returning again very soon!

The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a friendly atmosphere the moment we walked in. The menu is extensive with something for everyone - great selection of apps, sandwiches, entrees, and pizza. They even have a pretty decent vegetarian selection. I went with the smoked brisket sandwich with fries, and it was perfection. The brisket was moist and zesty, piled high on a fresh roll that held up beautifully. My girlfriend's mac and cheese was equally delicious - creamy, rich, and clearly made with care. Their beer and cider collection is incredible, with plenty of options to choose from. The FestBier was my favorite. I also tried the Ominous Forecast, which was also very good. The space itself is impressive - a huge bar, ample seating throughout, and even a separate room for larger parties. Parking was a breeze with plenty of spots available. What really stood out was the personal touch from the owner, Scott, who came around to introduce himself and ensure we were enjoying our meal. You can tell this is a place that takes pride in everything they do and genuinely appreciates their customers. We'll definitely be back! This is a must-visit spot for great food, drinks, and hospitality. Granby may be in the land of not-too-much, but CBH is worth the drive, and a great weekend hang out.

The bone-in wings are ridiculously overpriced, or we would have ordered those instead. Maybe they should change vendors for those as the price has gone down considerably, no longer a high expense item as their menu suggests. The quesadilla was loaded and tasty, except for the few burnt parts. Took a chance on the nachos with their house made beer cheese sauce. It had a grainy texture that was off-putting, and the toppings looked as if someone literally grabbed a handful and dropped it all in one spot, half the chips had almost no topping except for cheese. Server was pleasant once she finally decided to stop by and wait on us. All in all, a ho hum experience.
