    So good you couldn't have just one! If in the area give them a try I was wowed by the whole experience! Great job O Bar

    Amazing Happy Hour! Their purple haze is by far the BEST I've ever had! The hummus plate absolutely devine ! Professional, comfortable and friendly! They also have seating - all in all wonderful place!

    Out for happy hour and apps!

    What a wonderful experience! Quiant place with some banging drinks! I'd recommend the purple haze! Their apps are also amazing the hummus trio to die for!

    Moving to Texas. I'm fried. Can't think. Everything that could go wrong and everything you wouldn't believe could go wrong has. I couldn't think of where to go. Staying with my friend who just got a place in Unionville and decided Olive Bar would give me at least a drink. Erica came over and immediately met me on my level which either says great or terrible things about one or both of us. She has been amazing (I'm still here) and is just making what has been an otherwise horrific two days a blessing. George, if you read this, I'll slap you if you don't appreciate her. O-Bar has been amazing forever, and I'm glad one of my last meals in Connecticut is here, tonight. I'm actually happy. Thanks Erica (and I guess the chefs).

    First time at the Olive Bar. It was awesome! Great bar and good food. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Awesome outdoor patio as well. Wait staff was super nice!

    How can everyone be a regular? When the Service is on point, the servers have personality and the bartenders don't stop moving, people will frequent. I tend to find a watering hole and stick to it for awhile, usually until my circle is completely tired of it. Olive bar has enough variety from entertainment, food* and beverages to keep us coming back. Once you get to know the staff the adventure becomes more engaging with sarcasm, coaster tag and genuine laughs. Bring your friends or lone wolf it, plenty to keep you busy and relaxed. Managers don't just blank stare you when talking but actually listen and take action from the temperature inside to beers in the fridge! Whether I go to celebrate or go to remember the experience is always a good one. And this place is clean, always. *Full run of the George's Pizza Menu; Grinders, Wraps, Pizza, Italian meals, Burgers, Gyros and more!

    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!

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 !

    Came here after going to bingo Loco to finish my celebratory birthday…read more We walked in within an hour of closing, so we were given last call. We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor. I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance. And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots! We ended up taking the sour cherry vodka, which is one of my favorites We were unable to get food as the kitchen was closed, but we will have to try next time

    I originally found Hartford Flavor Cocktail Parlor by accident and it quickly became one of my…read morefavorite spots in Hartford. So of course I had to come back for dinner. The aesthetic is still gorgeous, the vibe is still immaculate, and the space feels both cozy and fun. They even have games tucked away so you can hang out longer, which makes it feel like more than just a bar or restaurant. This time I came for dinner and ordered the steak, which was perfectly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I also tried the lamb (not usually my thing), but my friend who loves lamb absolutely cleared her plate. So that tells you everything you need to know. Even without having a cocktail this time (I just had water), the experience was still great, which says a lot about the atmosphere and service. We also did this fun blindfolded dessert experience where you're blindfolded and try to guess what you're eating. Its super unique and actually really good. I wish they gave us a little card explaining it, but it was still such a cool touch. Between the food, the ambiance, the creative touches, and the overall vibe, this place just keeps delivering. Whether you're going for brunch, dinner, drinks, or a fun night out, this spot is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Wonderful atmosphere when you first arrive. I don't think there's a bad seat to be had. The food was fantastic. The service however was much to be desired. I don't know if they had no wait staff on the schedule but we arrived at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday and the girl at the front brought us to our table. I asked if they offered any non-alcoholic beers and she said yes but she didn't know what it was. Then she seemed embarrassed to tell me it's actually from a can. I was perfectly fine with that and I said I guess you can just bring me one. When our food arrived she then asked if there was anything else that we needed. I said Yes, silverware. None of us had any. She just didn't seem like she was a seasoned waitress, definitely felt like she was out of her element and perhaps she was just thrown into the role because she's seemed to be the only one running the entire floor. I believe they were four other tables seated. We will go back since this may have been an off day. I just hope that the service is better.

I had Faroe Island Salmon, was cooked perfectly, melt in my mouth goodness. The Gorgonzola mushroom sauce complemented the dish well. My wife had the 14oz Strip, the steak was tender & tasty. And my Mother In Law had the Maple Chicken, she loved it. Appetizers were Home Runs too, we all were blown away from how awesome the savory Lollipop Lamp Chops were. The owner takes pride in his cuisine and business, it's obvious. The rest of the staff was also personable & attentive, this place is simply a Winner. It's a "Hidden Gem" in small-town Burlington, CT. We're looking forward to the next time we drop into the Enclave Grille.
